Pinecone paypal/points system

Hi all :)
Could someone please advise me on how to find the 'cash out' option.
I recently filled in a questionnaire and seem to have been awarded
points :( It's taken me much much longer to search for the paypal option than to fill in the survey questions!
Getting paid automatically was brilliant.
I emailed and have had a reply which said my points are redeemable for cash at any time.
Duh, how does this work?
My Pinecone surveys have become very few and far between and I'm so looking forward to this small payment.

    Redeem My Points >> View Reward Categories >> Gifts >> Payments Options.

    You will then see the option to select either £3 paypal or £4 paypal.

    When you select one of those another box will pop up where you need to verify, or something like that.

    I thought we were asked if we wanted to change to paypal, or remain with luncheon vouchers. I prefer the lv system too, don't use paypal. LVs gave me a little treat now and then. If we haven't the choice then it's a pain.

    I would much prefer to stay with Luncheon Vouchers too, always handy if you are a bit short and need something, or to save up for a treat/Christmas. I emailed to ask if we can continue to get vouchers but not had an answer yet.
    I don't want to save points to get 'things', if we can't have LV's I will have to have Paypal, but don't really use it for much. Don't you lose money if you want to exchange it for cash?

    No, you don't lose anything. Either use it online to pay for stuff off ebay or any of the other retailers who use it, or have it transferred to your bank account. Not a problem.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I must be strange in preferring to have paypal payments rather than vouchers. At least you are not limited at what you can do with the money.
  • I too prefer paypal as it is received next day and if i don't find anything to buy online i just withdraw it to my bank although sometimes vouchers come in handy as i put them on one side so if having a short week i can still buy bits i need. I aren't keen on the new system it took me a while to cash out but hopefully second time around will be easier
