Prolific surveys

How long does it take to get paid for surveys? I've just started doing them on Tuesday and still not received payment to my PayPal account. I've pressed the 'cash out button. Have I missed something?

Is the first cash out ? I'm sure that one took longer, mines now normally within a day.

Mine are always instant but seem to remember the first one taking 5 days

How long does it take to start getting surveys? I've spent ages filling in all my info and none have come up every time I've checked. Thank you

The first 4 payments take longer (so I recommend cashing out as soon as you get over £5 initially) then from the 5th payment it becomes instant via PayPal which is when it's good to let it build up.

Cash out days are Tuesday and Friday and you can only have one active payout at a time (so wait until closer to the pay out day if you think you'll earn more before then)

So if you cash out on a Saturday you won't get it until Tuesday. And you can't press it again until that one has cleared! Once instant though I've had no problems at all.

I started to get some pretty quickly but I'm on the older side and it may be down to who they are looking for. Make sure you have a tab open on your browser and activate the notification alert. It's been pretty quiet over the summer. Most are universities so hopefully it'll pick up again now they're back.

It's entirely random so just keep checking when you're online. Sometimes there are quiet periods. They do get filled up really quickly so you need to keep checking

Is there another way to get paid? Other than PayPal? Does anyone know?

mum2jakie · 10/10/2021 12:33

No it's PayPal only but minimum payment is only £5

And you don't get charged any fees. Whatever amount you cash out you get in full with PayPal.
