Ok, think about it before you answer... first some sites offer points that can be transfered to cash and sometimes those sites offer more points for there service than for cash.... or you can turn your points into giftcards or gift certificates for amazon ...in which is like cash. and then there are sites were you click all day for .01 and at the end of the day you are lucky to get .10 ....... so my question.... do you prefer points or cash? (ok in this situation)

I have not worked on a site which gives you points and later converts them to cash. Actually I have not found one yet. I felt safer with sites which pays cash. What if you work for converting points to cash and later the company decides that points cannot be converted to cash.

A number of sites that do pay work under this method of points to cash and usually one point is equivalent to a certain amount if cash so you can make the calculation Been paid previously and have had no problems so far, check my blog link on my profile page

I do prefer cash definitely via PayPal, cheque or bank transfer... There's a number of the sites that pay via those two methods and I don't mind some of those that pay in points as long as it is quick to reach the minimum.. I have been paid several times by similar sites and you can see proofs on my blog link on my profile page, have recently redeemed £50 from a review site and $50 on a survey site, they both do points but it was achievable

Of course I prefer to have cash much more. As I can buy whatever I like by cash. As to the points, probably I can exchange it with other gifts. Sometimes the gifts may not be something I really like. I love China

I would always prefer cash. This gives me the flexibility in online shopping like I can buy whatever I want to and from whichever site suits me best. Gift coupons are redeemable only for a particular online shop and I may not like the items on display or they may not have what I am looking for. Points are also no good for me…seeing cash is like a great boost

Cash definitely hands-down ! What is better than being able to buy whatver your little heart desires (rather than choosing among what limited choices others have given you.) Incidentally, if you are looking for an excellent free list of sites go to www.HomeCash.org

It depends.. If the points can earn money easily then I prefer points to convert it into cash or gift certificates but if points doesn't give or provide fast earning then I prefer cash.. I had joined so many sites where they give points and change it into cash after you had reach their minimum points for converting into cash.. And I find it very difficult because then you will ask them to convert it, it takes time before they will give your request..

I prefer cash, the points sometimes are hard to keep up with, and in order to make a significant amount of money you have to sign in a couple of them, so that makes it a little harder for me to keep track, and anyways with cash you have more freedom to spend your earnings. I'm new to this method of making money online, but that's my view of it.

Personally for me, it really often depends on the site itself. Like you said here already, I am sure there is good and Bad to all of these sites that offer such things for sure. I know of sites that offer only points you exchange for gift cards and such that are quicker paying out than sites that do cash. But then there are some good paying cashout sites out there online as well, so personally I guess it is where you are from, and what works the Best for you as well.

very true, mypoints is great for getting out there gift cards quickly when you build up your points... and then there are sites that you can request payout and it is there immediately or within 24 hrs... so it really depends on the site. thanks for the response and have a great day!

I prefer to receive cash also. I've tried using one site which pays in points but I didn't stay for long. For these sites, it seems you'll need to earn a high number of points and to convert to cash, you'll get an amount too low for the points. For example, offers may pay about 30-60 each, and you'll need about 10,000 for $1 USD.

hi bookreader mom08 yes I love mysurvey.com as i get a thousand points in just a few weeks then convert that to a ten dollar check and ten dollars is much more lovely than ten cents, and 'the surveys actually let us help various companies to change or not change the new food products they plan on selling ,we get to give our input as would be customers,that is real fun.

I prefer cash, because it really motivates people. And as we all know, that CASH or Money is a great motivator, especially this time that most of us are experiencing financial problems.
