When you want to make money by taking paid surveys and sharing your opinion, you do not want to wait for months to get your rewards.
On some survey sites it takes a very long time to get to the payout threshold and be able to get your money.
But luckily there are also many survey sites with a low or no minimum payout limit, which means you can get paid very quickly.
In this article I am going to show you the best quick paying survey sites with low payout threshold, so you can be sure to get your money fast.
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 get them.
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 survey 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 also 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.
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 into consideration.
9 quick paying survey sites with low minimum payout
The list below is not only survey sites with a low minimum payout, but they are also sites that makes it easy for you to get to the payout threshold, as they have a good amount of opportunities.
The exact opportunities on each site can vary from country to country, but overall these are the survey sites that you will allow you to get paid the fastest.
#1 – Swagbucks
Swagbucks is one of the world’s most popular survey sites and online reward portals, and it is for good reasons. It has a very low payout threshold for some rewards, and you can get paid already when you have earned $2 – $3. The exact payout threshold is higher for some rewards. You can get paid through PayPal, Amazon gift cards, or choose between many other gift cards.
Swagbucks makes it very easy to get to the payout threshold. First of all, you can get a $5 joining bonus, if you join through an invitation link (like the one below), and it also gives you plenty of chances to earn by taking surveys, taking offers, surfing online, shopping online, watching videos, free contests, and more.
Be aware that you can only join, if you live in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, France, or Germany.
#2 – PrizeRebel
PrizeRebel is another very great survey site with many opportunities. It has a low payout threshold that is easy to reach. You can get paid already when you have earned $5 – you can even get paid through PayPal already at that threshold, which is great. There are however also many other rewards and gift cards you can choose from.
In addition to earning on surveys, you can also earn by watching videos, taking offers, finding free promo codes, free contests, inviting friends, and more.
Most survey opportunities are for English-speaking countries, but you can join more or less no matter where you live, and you will still be able to use the other ways of earning.
#3 – ClixSense
On ClixSense the main way to earn money is by taking surveys and small online tasks. The payout threshold is $10, which is not very difficult to reach, as it has a good amount of opportunities for most countries.
You can get paid through Payoneer, Dwolla, Skrill, Tango Card, or check.
In addition to surveys and tasks, you can also earn by taking offers from the offer wall, where there are a lot of opportunities, and you can get a daily bonus, if you have a certain activity. You can join more or less not matter where you live, and ClixSense has good opportunities for most countries.
#4 – Toluna
Toluna 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 offer several survey opportunities daily.
You can also earn a bit extra by filling out your profile when you join and by creating content that other members can interact with.
A really great thing about Toluna is that it has local sites in countries all over the world, which means that you can join a platform in your own local language and take surveys in your local language as well.
#5 – Superpay.me
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 overall does not give as many opportunities as the other sites on the list, and it can be a bit more confusing to use.
You can get paid through PayPal (after your first withdrawal also Instant PayPal), Skrill, or Bitcoin (Bitcoin has a higher payout threshold). You can join Superpay.me more or less from all countries.
#6 – InstaGC
InstaGC is another example of a survey sites with more or less no minimum payout, as you can get paid already when you have earned $1.
It is a site that is pretty easy to use, and you can join it no matter where you live. However, it has most opportunities for English-speaking countries, but will also have some for other countries. The reason it is not higher on the list is that compared to some of the other sites, it does not give quite as many opportunities. It will however still be easy to reach the payout threshold of only $1.
In addition to taking surveys, you can also earn by watching videos, taking online offers, clicking ads, guessing sports results, and more. You can get paid through PayPal, gift cards, or donate to charity.
#7 – Gift Hunter Club
Gift Hunter Club has a payout threshold of only $5. However, there is a small fee, if you choose to take your money out already when you have earned $5. If you wait until you have earned $10, there will be no fee.
In some countries you can fairly easy reach the payout threshold. These countries are US, UK, Spain, and Latin America. If you live in Spain or Latin America, this is definitely a platform worth checking out, as it has special opportunities for these countries. You can however join from all other countries as well and find some opportunities.
You can earn by taking surveys, micro tasks, taking offers, or getting daily and weekly bonuses if you have a certain activity. You can get paid through PayPal or gift cards.
#8 – Ipsos i-Say
Ipsos i-Say has sites in the local language in around 100 countries. The payout minimum is around $10, but in some countries it is higher.
It is a survey site that is very easy to use, and it gives a decent amount of survey opportunities. In some countries they also have a loyalty program, where you will get bonuses the more active you are.
It does not have as many opportunities as the other sites on this list, but it is user-friendly. The payout methods available depends on the country you live in. In some countries you can get paid through PayPal, and if that is not an option, there will be many gift cards to choose from.
#9 – Prolific
Prolific is a platform that is meant to help researchers get answers for their research. As a member you can earn by answering these surveys, so the surveys you can participate in will mostly be used for scientific research, but you can join no matter your own background.
The payout minimum is $7. However, there will be a fee, if you take your money out already when you have made this. To avoid the fee, you have to wait until you reach $20 which is pretty high.
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. How many opportunities you will have depends a lot on the country you live in. Prolific is available in 34 countries, and you can get paid through PayPal and Circle.
There you have it – a list of survey sites with a low minimum payout, which makes it possible to get paid fast.
So now it is up to you to choose the sites that fits your needs and your country the best and start taking surveys and using some of the other opportunities some of the sites offer as well. Then it will not be long before you will get paid – especially if you join several sites, as it will increase your total opportunities.

Hey there,
I have been doing lots of surveys on ClixSense, and I thought it would be really wise to try out new platforms to see what is out there.
I am going to give Swagbucks and PrizeRebel a try and see how they are going to help me. Thanks a lot for your list. It has really saved my time. 🙂
Glad to hear Dave.
I am sure you will love Swagbucks and PrizeRebel, as they are both great sites.
All the best,
Mikael
Thanks for these great survey sites with low payouts. I’ve heard of a few of them like swagbucks and think it might be a great way to earn some extra cash — but I don’t see it being anything life changing.
Have you tried any of these sites yourself? If so which ones did you enjoy the most?
Hi Michael,
Surveys definitely can make some nice extra cash, but you are very right that paid surveys is not a way to become rich.
And yes I have tried the sites myself – I always make sure to test survey sites whenever they are available in my country.
The first 4 on the list (Swagbucks, PrizeRebel, Toluna, ClixSense) are in my opinion really great options, but depending in the country you live in, there are also sites that are just as good.
All the best,
Mikael
A great site on top genuine surveys. I am in such a country where survey sites doesn’t pay much commission. Your explanation on the sites was great. And people like me might get confused seeing so many genuine sites all together. Clicxsense is also a PTC site. Your site is great and keep it up.
Thanks for your feedback Saurav.
ClixSense used to be a PTC site as well, but it is not anymore. They removed that option a while back and it is now mainly a survey site – in my opinion it has made it better, as I am not a big fan of PTC, as it pays so little to click those ads.
All the best,
Mikael
Hi Mikael. You make some tremendous points of what truly does motivate people to continue participating in survey ventures. That is not only that each survey is interesting and well-written, but more importantly having the opportunity to cash out when the particular site itself has a no-to-low minimum threshold level regarding the money that had been earned.
I still say that the one disadvantage of participating in surveys as a way to make money is that invariably, almost all sites, (except for 2 that I am aware of) have a disqualification process based on an individual fitting the intended demographic of a particular survey. Of course not qualifying results in the panelist earning nothing, and with that coming not one inch closer to meeting the minimum threshold that would allow him/her to claim money that had been earned.
Swag Bucks, in my opinion does remain perhaps the best survey site if you take into consideration the low threshold standards set by the company, the # of surveys available, plus other ventures – watching television, ads, playing video games and etc that are all available. Super Pay Me and Hunter Gift Club were two sites in your top ten that I am not familiar with.

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experiences Jeff.
I agree that it is a disadvantage that on most sites you will not be able to qualify for all surveys. On most platforms you will however know after a few seconds, if you qualify for a certain survey or not. But of course it can still be frustrating to keep getting disqualified for some surveys.
I have however found that after using a platform for a while, it is definitely possible to see a pattern about what kind of surveys you are most likely to qualify for, and the ones that you most often do not qualify for, you can then just not even try – that approach has made it a lot more efficient for me to take surveys.
All the best,
Mikael
