Self wrote “while the surveys typically pay around $1 each, according to reviews they usually only take a few minutes to complete, meaning you can reach the $10 minimum to cash out on PayPal pretty easily.” Not only is PayPal an option, but Amazon gift cards have also been added recently as an additional instant mobile payment option. This new option expands choices for panelists to cash out once they hit the $10 minimum.
