Service & Snafus

Learn about customer service and potential issues with Nielsen Mobile and PointClub before you sign up.

Nielsen MobilePointClub
Nielsen Mobile

Being in business for decades, Nielsen has their operations down pat. If you encounter a problem you can email or call. You should expect little to no delay in response to your query.

PointClub
Nielsen Mobile

Unfortunately, while installing Nielsen Mobile is easy money, they are only accepting certain groups, at least for the time being. If you're a tablet user, you simply have to be 18 or older. For smartphone users, the company is currently only accepting members 45 or older. These requirements may change as Nielsen's demographic needs shift.

PointClub

PointClub certainly has a lot of surveys for you to take, but you may want to stay away from the "paid trial offers" if you want to stick to paid market research. While you will get paid for signing up for various offers, you may be required to pay for trial periods, which can get a bit tricky. If you do not cancel your trial within a particular time frame, you are charged for the amount of the service or product and may not receive enough compensation to make up the difference.

Nielsen PC and Mobile
won't earn you a ton of money, but you won't have to do much of anything to get your $50 in yearly rewards. If you like passive income, this program is ideal.

You can install this app with confidence as Nielsen has an impeccable reputation. They're simply trying to do for mobile device usage what they've done for TV ratings. The company has an extensive privacy policy to allay privacy fears. They simply want to know what you're watching on your mobile device.

In short, there's very little, if any, downside to trying this app. Users have reported no slowdowns in their devices and no privacy breaches. If for some reason you don't like it, it's a one-click uninstall.

If you fall into the demographic that is currently being accepted, there's no reason you shouldn't give Nielsen Mobile a try!

PointClub

PointClub is certainly a survey program on the rise. The earning opportunities here are outstanding. Once your profile is complete, you'll receive potentially hundreds of paid surveys from various companies. Best of all, they will be right in your account dashboard so you won't have to wait for email invites. Though you may not qualify for every survey you are presented, you are likely to qualify for future surveys as PointClub matches your profile with the surveys that are currently available.

In addition, you can also earn by watching videos, playing games, and even listening to Internet radio. PointClub is rapidly expanding. The potential here is through the roof and is certainly worth your time.
