PayPal vs Crypto vs Gift Cards: Which Should You Pick?

The right payout method depends on what you want the money for: PayPal for plain money, a virtual Visa for spending anywhere online, crypto for the smallest withdrawals, and a gift card for a store you already use.

Every payout method shows its minimum and its fee in the withdrawal window before you confirm.

Method What you receive Best for
PayPal Money in your PayPal account Money you can move anywhere PayPal works
Virtual Visa A card number for online checkouts Spending anywhere online that accepts Visa
Crypto The coin you choose, sent to your own wallet The smallest withdrawals, and crypto you want to keep
Gift card A code for the brand you choose A store or game you already use

Pick PayPal for money in your PayPal account

Enter your PayPal email in the withdrawal window, and we'll send the money to your PayPal account. If you want plain money you can move anywhere PayPal works, PayPal is the default pick.

Pick the virtual Visa for spending anywhere online

The virtual Visa gives you a card number you can use at any online checkout that accepts Visa. It's the way to spend your balance anywhere online without a PayPal account and without tying it to one store.

Pick crypto for the smallest withdrawals

On a network with a low fee, crypto has the lowest minimums, so it's the way to withdraw a small balance. You choose the coin and the network, and the network charges its own fee, which the withdrawal window estimates before you confirm. USD Coin and Tether are built to hold their dollar value, while other coins, such as Bitcoin, can move in price after you receive them. Earning Bitcoin without buying any works the same way: you earn with offers and surveys, and choose Bitcoin when you withdraw.

Before you confirm, copy the address from your wallet app and make sure the network matches the one your wallet uses for that coin.

Pick by what the money is for, and check the fee in the withdrawal window before you confirm.

Pick a gift card for a store you already use

With a gift card, you get a code for the brand you choose, such as Steam, Amazon or PlayStation. Choose a brand you'd spend money at anyway, because a gift card is only as useful as the store behind it. Gift cards come in versions for different countries, so choose yours in the Region picker in the withdrawal window.

Before you withdraw

You aren't tied to one method: you can withdraw to PayPal one day and to crypto the next. Every withdrawal needs a verified email address, and your first one also needs a minimum of confirmed rewards from your own offers, surveys and tasks. A first-week plan shows a new account how to reach it. Check your payment details and the fee before you confirm. Most withdrawals are sent within minutes.

When your balance is ready, choose a payout method on the withdraw page, where each one shows its lowest amount next to Min.
