Paid surveys · 4-part guide · about 22 minutes
How do you actually get paid?
You've earned the points. Now what? Between conversion rates, minimum cash-outs, pending rewards and payout methods, getting your money out is where a lot of people get stuck.
The short answer
Most survey sites and reward apps pay through PayPal, gift cards, bank transfer or, in some countries, mobile money. The method matters less than three things: how low the minimum cash-out is, how long rewards stay pending, and whether the site clearly explains both. Know those before you start earning, not when you try to cash out.
