Why a low or no minimum payout is important!

Taking surveys can be a great way to make some extra cash on the side. But on some sites you have to work really hard to get to the payout threshold, or they just simply do not offer many opportunities, so it will take you forever to be able to get paid.

This is obviously very annoying – when we take paid surveys, it can of course be because we want to have our opinion heard and be able to give feedback, which is an important aspect of surveys. But at the same time, many of us who take paid surveys also like to get the extra nice cash – and we do not want to wait months to be able to cash out.

When it takes too long to get to a payout threshold, it is difficult to stay motivated. Also, the smaller payout limit there is, the quicker we can confirm that you actually can get paid – if you have never joined paid survey sites before, this might be a concern to you, and you want to make sure it is actually possible before spending too much time.

So in general, it is a great way to stay motivated when we can often see a little extra money coming into our account.

Further, in my experience, the survey sites with a low minimum payout are often also the best – they know they have a lot to offer and are not trying to keep people locked for months before paying out. They will let you take your money out very quickly, and then they also know that you will probable keep taking surveys and earn more money, as you can see it works.

So for all these reasons, the payout threshold is in my opinion important on survey sites – you might have other reasons, and if that is this case, it would be great to hear about them in a comment below the article.

What is a low payout threshold?

How do you define a low payout threshold?

This can definitely vary from person to person. That is why I wanted to make it clear how I have defined a low payout threshold on the list below, and what I have taken into consideration to choose the sites that belongs on the list.

I have not only taken the actual amount you have to earn to cash out into consideration – there are some survey sites that have a very low payout threshold, but because they do not offer many opportunities, it can still take you months to get to it.

I have taken this into consideration, and the sites on the list are platforms with a good amount of opportunities that do not only have a low payout minimum but also so many opportunities that you will be able to cash out quickly. Many of the sites even offers several ways you can earn and not only paid surveys.

Some people are mostly interested in survey sites with no minimum payout, as that means you can get paid immediately – there is however more or less always some kind of threshold. On some sites it is as low as $1, so in my opinion that is basically the same as not having a minimum payout.

In general, on the list below you will find survey sites that will make it possible for you to reach the payout threshold within a few days – in some cases within a few hours. So the limit is between $1-$10 – the ones with the lowest minimum are however not necessarily placed the highest on the list – as mentioned, I have also taken the total amount of opportunities and the usability of the site into consideration.

Short summary:
Toluna Influencers is a survey site that is very easy to use. The payout threshold is around $8 but can vary a bit depending on the country you live in. It is pretty easy to reach the threshold, as Toluna mostly offers several survey opportunities daily.

#6 – Superpay.me

Available in: Worldwide
Payout threshold: $1
More info: Read full review

Short summary:
Superpay.me is the survey site with one of the lowest payout minimums on this list. You can cash out already when you have earned $1, which you can achieve just by taking 1 or 2 surveys. I have only seen very few survey sites with this low a payout threshold. Another site with the same threshold is RewardingWays – the reason that this is not on the list as well is that it is the same company that runs Superpay.me, and the two platforms offer the same opportunities, so there is no need to join both of them.

The reason Superpay.me is not higher on the list despite its extremely low payout threshold is that it in my opinion is a bit more confusing to use, and it can take a bit of patience to learn to use it and find the surveys you qualify for. But with a little patience it gives great earning opportunities, and you can join more or less from all countries.

You can get paid through PayPal (after your first withdrawal also Instant PayPal), Skrill, or Bitcoin (Bitcoin has a higher payout threshold). The payout threshold is not only very low, but you also usually receive your money within just a few hours after you have requested them, which is very fast, so overall it is Superpay.me is one of the quickest paying survey sites.

Which countries it is available in varies, and it often only have limited spots available every month, so if there is no link for you now, it can be worth checking in the beginning of next month.

It is one of the highest paying survey sites, as you get a minimum of $3 per survey, and you can request a payout already when you have earned $3, so it is fast to get paid here.

It does however have limited surveys available, but if you live in one of the countries, where you can find an invitation link to below, it is definitely a survey panel worth joining.

The reason Prolific is on this list is not that it is super fast to get to the payout threshold compared to the other sites, but that the surveys are pretty interesting, as they are mostly scientific. There are however not so many of them, so from the sites on this list, it will be the platform, where it will take you the longest to get to the threshold.
