QuickRewards payout question

I've been on their site for years but I've only requested paypal as a payout. Now I have gotten a promotional code for Amazon plus my balances from other programs that I earn Amazon GC's on. I'd like to buy one or two small other things with this transaction with super saver shipping, however I'll come up short unless..... I cash out on QR for Amazon GC's but I don't know how fast I'll get the Amazon code. The special bonus is only good thru tomorrow. Have you cashed out with them thru Amazon or something else that isn't paypal? I know they usually are good within a day or two of your request, but I worry that may be cutting things close or the prices will jump between now and tomorrow or the promo will expire before I get the code. And of course the longer I wait to order the longer it'll take to get here and I'd like to give the items as gifts and I'd like them to get here before then.

I've never gotten an Amazon gift card from QuickRewards, so I can't really help you with that... but are you able to sign up for the free 30 day Amazon Prime trial? That will give you free two-day shipping on any order without having to meet the $25 minimum for super saver shipping. You could buy the item on promotion now, and then get the other items once your QR Amazon code arrives. They'd all arrive on time with the two-day shipping. 
The only thing you'd have to worry about would be canceling the trial before the end of the 30 days so they don't charge you the $79 fee for Prime membership.

I've heard of people canceling the prime after the trial period ends. Actually there was a website out there for people to do trial offers and were making out well... provided you wanted to keep a calendar of when things expired and called to cancel everything you signed up for.

Usually getting a GC through Amazon happens pretty fast. Most sites payout is within a few hours or the next day. I also get paid through Paypal with QR.

Good to know they don't putz around with getting you amazon gc's.
Not every site pay out next day mylot pays abt the 15th of the month if you qualify and SB doesn't give out gc's only on monday/tuesdays... so a sort wait typically.

Ugh! myLot keeps eating my posts...
I have only ever cashed out via PayPal as well. I don't know if they do it as quickly for other things as they do for PayPal. I don't earn a whole lot there. Do you do the surveys? I never seem to qualify for them.

So, are you a gold member (or whatever it is called on QR?) because I know that you have to have that ranking in order to be able to cash out for Amazon.
Me, no, I've never cashed out with them using Amazon, I always opt for the PayPal because I know that money is something that I'm able to use where ever I want to use it.
I know that it won't help you for right now, but something that you might be able to consider to use in the future is to get a PayPal debit card and then link that card to your Amazon account. Then the balance that isn't paid with your Amazon GCs will come out of your PayPal account.
