There are a lot of little side earners I’ve used for years — some even before I started this blog. I’ve earned extra money using reward sites, answering paid surveys, and other things like that. They’re mostly mindless, and of course won’t earn you enough for you to quit your day job.
However, some of them might be worth tinkering with here and there because of how fast they pay out.
And in my opinion, if you’re going to do something for extra money, the faster you can get paid, the better. Because who wants to wait weeks or months on just $5 or $10? That really kills your enthusiasm for participating.
Today’s post has a list of opportunities to make extra money that are known for paying out your earnings within 24 hours or less. But before you start signing up, here are some things to know:
- You will need a Paypal account if you don’t already have one since that is how most of these sites pay out their cash. If you don’t have one, it’s free to sign up. You can transfer the money from Paypal to a bank account, or you can request a Paypal debit card that works like any other debit card and use it to make purchases with your earnings. There are also a lot of online merchants that let you pay with Paypal.
- Most (but not all) of these sites have a cash out threshold, meaning that you have to have earned a certain amount of money before you can even request whatever earnings you’ve accumulated.
5 Sites For Extra Cash That Offer Daily Payout
1 – Paid Viewpoint
I always list this one first because it is my favorite. If you cash out your earnings after you’ve taken enough surveys to accumulate $5 or $15 (your cash out threshold on this site will vary depending on how long you’ve been using it), they will almost always pay you within 24 hours of your request.
If you request gift cards like Amazon, Walmart, Target, CVS, etc., you will get your earnings immediately.
If you request Paypal cash, it will likely come to you by the next morning after you request it.
The site does have a disclaimer that it can take up to 72 hours to get paid, but in my experience it’s always been by the next day.

2 – Sproutful
Sproutful is a rewards site where you can earn points by taking surveys and playing games from your phone or computer.
You only need $5 in your account to cash out, and Sproutful says most rewards are delivered within a few hours after you redeem.
You can choose Paypal, Venmo, prepaid Visa, or gift cards for your payout.

3 – AttaPoll
You can download the AttaPoll app and earn money by answering surveys on your phone.
While there are a lot of options for online surveys that pay to Paypal, this one is known for paying instantly when you request a cash out.
Just like Paid Viewpoint (listed above), they do state it can take 72 hours to get your earnings once you cash out, but reports from users online indicate it is almost always within seconds or minutes.
Update 8/22/24 – I cashed out $5 from AttaPoll and received it almost immediately to Paypal. So they definitely belong on this list! See payment proof below:
Note that you do need at least $3 in your account to request a cash out.

4 – Branded Surveys
Branded Surveys (open to the US, Canada, and the UK) is a survey panel you can sign up with that lets you earn money answering surveys, polls, participating in daily challenges, and more.
They pay in points you can redeem for actual cash to Paypal, or you can choose to get bank deposits and Amazon codes.
While the company has up to 3 days to send you your earnings after you request them, most users say they get paid right away or the same day.
You do need 500 points in your account to redeem.

5 – Qmee
Qmee is free to join, and you can earn a little extra money by answering surveys on your phone or computer. It’s open to people age 16 and up in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany.
There is no minimum when you cash out to PayPal or Venmo, and Qmee says the money usually arrives within a few minutes. So even if you’ve only earned a small amount, you can request it without waiting until you reach $5 or $10.
If you choose PayPal, your account needs to be fully verified and registered in the same country as your Qmee account. It also can’t be linked to another Qmee account. Venmo is an option for US users.
Just so you know, you won’t qualify for every survey, and payment delays can happen. You can often get paid quickly, but you shouldn’t count on earning money or receiving a payment every day.

Good luck!

Microworkers are pretty good too
I remember when I did Postloop back in 2011 and 2012. I stopped after 2013 because none of the comments I made in their remaining forums were showing up as points on my account. Back when I was active on the site, I even got my subscription revoked on one of their forums because I knew nothing about college football.
Another app that is similar to Ibotta is MobiSave. It’s on both Android & iOS now, and they usually pay within minutes of you uploading your receipt. The only drawbacks I’ve found are you have to upload your receipt within 2 days of shopping & you have to select the offers before you check out, but other than that it’s pretty nice.
