Are you looking for ways to earn extra cash that come with instant payments? These are some of my favorite sites and apps to use! I don’t like waiting on my earnings, either, once I have enough to cash out.
The sites I’ve listed today are for extra cash only — paid surveys, rewards sites, and apps that pay you — and I’ve been using most of them for years. And the one thing they all have in common is that there is NO wait on your earnings!
Every site on this list pays out in either Paypal or gift cards within minutes or seconds. Also, these are extremely reputable websites that have good track records and are known for paying users.
It goes without saying, but these sites don’t replace your day job. They are just fun to use from time to time, and the money does build up the more active you try to be.
My Top 5 Extra Cash Picks For Instant Payments
1 – Paid Viewpoint
Paid Viewpoint is an online survey panel that has been around for at least ten years now. I’ve been a member since they started and still regularly answer surveys for them.
The surveys with Paid Viewpoint are quick and easy. And they will pay you a little even if you take a screening survey and don’t qualify to complete the whole thing.
Payment is in cash, not a points system. So you can easily see at a glance how much money you have in your account after you log in.
Once you have at least $5 in your account, you can cash your earnings out to Paypal or get a variety of different gift cards (Amazon is an option that I usually go for).
I have never had to wait more than a few hours on my earnings. In most cases, I have my money sent to me within 20 minutes or less.

2 – Attapoll
Attapoll is a sleek, easy-to-use survey app that sends surveys straight to your phone. I like this one because the interface is clean, and the surveys are usually short and to the point.
You earn real money (not points), and you can cash out to Paypal starting at just $3. You can also donate your earnings to charity if you prefer.
Payments are sent within minutes of requesting them. I’ve personally had mine show up in under five minutes every time.
This one is especially great for people who like earning on the go—just turn on notifications and wait for surveys to pop up.

3 – Freecash
Freecash is a newer rewards site that’s become super popular for its fast payouts and clean, modern interface. You can earn by completing surveys, trying new apps, and taking advantage of special offers.
You can cash out to Paypal, crypto (like Bitcoin or Litecoin), or gift cards, and most payouts arrive within minutes.
They also offer a daily leaderboard with bonus cash for top earners, so if you’re active, you can earn even more.
I have not tested it myself yet, but doing some research, it appears most users had no issues getting paid fast.

4 – Qmee
Qmee is a different sort of extra cash site I’ve been a member of since they got started back in 2012.
It was a browser extension you could have installed and earn money for searches you did on Google and Amazon, and it now works on desktop or as an app.
While you can still earn through searches, they’ve added paid surveys as another way to earn. Qmee pays out very quickly!
You can request your earnings with no minimum, so cashing out any time is possible.
With Qmee, you can request Paypal cash, gift cards, or you can opt to donate your earnings to charity.
I’ve never had to wait more than maybe 15 minutes for my Qmee earnings to be sent to me.

5 – PrizeRebel
PrizeRebel is a rewards site similar to InstaGC (linked above). I really like the layout of this site. It’s very user friendly.
With PrizeRebel, you can earn through surveys and their offer walls.
There are a lot of different options for cashing out. Similar to InstaGC, you can request Paypal or gift cards.
I do not see an option for bank transfer, but hopefully this is something they will consider adding soon.
I haven’t had to wait more than an hour to get my earnings from PrizeRebel after requesting them. However, it does state on the website that you should give them 24 hours.
Go here to sign up with PrizeRebel.
So if you’re someone who enjoys sites like this and you’re looking for a few that don’t make you wait once you can cash out, these are some to try!
Good luck!
