Cash from Surveyhead?

I could have sworn that when I did my research a few years back before joining Surveyhead that they paid CASH prizes, but now that I FINALLY reached the $10 minimum cashout option, it's really used for prizes like magazine subscriptions & gift cards & such. I'm still going to use Surveyhead but NOW, my minimum cashout has been increased to $25 because that's what the Amazon.com giftcard value is and that's the only thing I'll use it for. For all of you who use Surveyhead, did it always have prizes and not cash? Or am I not imagining things & you used to be able to get cash? I'm $.65 away from cashing out the gift card but, now that I know it's not real cash that I'll get, I'm not focusing on it as MUCH as I was! I spent ALL my spare time doing surveys for Surveyhead doing the profile questionnaires and everything to reach payout and then I was disappointed...

I still see the cash (PayPal) payment option in SurveyHead. For me, it's listed in the $25 section on the last page. I've been a member of SurveyHead for years and I've always had to earn $25 in order to get paid via PP. Could it be PayPal was temporarily unavailable when you looked?

Wait - as I continue on, I now see PayPal for $35! That makes me happy again! I'd much rather cash than giftcards LOL

Yes, this Paypal is returned . But I can not assure that it will be removed or not later since those who have the balance of $25.00 at this moment do need a very long period to earn for another $10.00 USD to reach the cash out threshold at $35.00 USD. However, it depends on our luck when we are lucky enough to be qualified and to complete more surveys so that, our earning will be expedited to reach this cash out threshold before it changes again.

I used to use Surveyhead, but I stopped wasting my time after they stopped giving cash prizes out. In my eyes, to remove something as popular as a cash prize is like scamming all the members who were working towards a cash payout and now find that they can only get gift cards which have a limited value. I'm never using Surveyhead again.

So I'm NOT going crazy! They DID give cash out! Maybe that's why I couldn't qualify for earnings so quick... and maybe that's why I'm at a standstill since I earned $20 from them this month making me $.65 away from FINALLY getting a $25 giftcard... they don't want to pay so quick & they must get super cheap subscriptions for the magazines & charge us $10-15 for them... they're not giving away as much $$$ that way! I put the majority of my survey focus on Opinion Outpost & GTM... Once I realized I couldn't get cash from them, I decided that I'm not gonna go to Surveyhead for surveys, I'll let them come to me & I'll decide if it's worth my time or not...

@ DiamondCardz, you were smart to quit. Just because i have already started, I must continue until I cash out my money. From my understanding, the cash out rules inconsistently changed and made most of the members losing the confidence to it. It is so difficult for me to reach the cash out at $25.00 today. but then I realize that i just can manage to redeem for online games card. It am wondering if this Surveyhead is still a serious, reliable and trusted site for us to work on. Let's use our independent judgement

That is irritating. Can you cash anything else out at the $10 minimum? Or do you think it's a scam? I've had a lot of luck with several other survey sites, with generally low payouts. You can see some of my payment proofs on the blog listed on my profile....Those are legitimate at least. Good luck to you!

Presently, the cash out rules have been changed again. I just reached $25.00 and I just could redeem for Online Games card. If I need to cash out by Paypal, I need to have $35.00. I do not understand the reasons this Surveyhead is making this cash out matter so difficult to the members. I am so worrying when I reach the $35.00 in my account balance, this cash out rule will be changed again. At the end, I shall decide to donate all of my earning to this Surveyhead and suspiciously not the charities.
