Surveys that do not use Paypal

I am entering full retirement in a few days looking at the possibility of doing some surveys from time to time. Fortunately my pension is adequate for my needs, but making some extra money is always useful and also keeps the ‘little grey cells’ ticking over.

I have done surveys before,but found some of them repetitive and a little onerous for the small sums involved.

I have investigated Prolific but I believe they will only pay out via PayPal, which I no longer have nor want to sign up for again. I don’t mind companies that pay in vouchers as long as it isn’t the dreaded Amazon which I also avoid.

Any ideas would be gratefully received. Can someone also confirm Prolific only pay out via PayPal?

Many thanks.

    Valued Opinions pay out in vouchers - not just Amazon, Opinion outpost gives you a choice of Paypal or vouchers. Y live pay out as a bank transfer. Ipsos give a choice of vouchers or Paypal.

    You Gov and One Poll also do bank transfer. One Poll is not as well paying as it used to be so it's slow to reach the £25 cashout.

    Also Pinecone Research, if you can secure an invite.

    Congratulations on your retirement  :)

    Hi, Opinium do BACS (earn £25, then request pay out) ; also Panelbase (earn £10 or more, then request pay out).   Used both several times to pay out and both work fine.  Enjoy !

    Many thanks for your responses. Should I decide to try a few surveys again I will certainly look at the sites mentioned. Thank you again.
  • I have signed up to One Poll, Valued Opinions and Panelbase. I have already completed some surveys! :)

  • Just a quick update from me. I decided to give up all surveys as they were becoming rather dull and repetitive. Furthermore I was unable to claim my rewards from two sites as I wasn't prepared to go along with their excessive and intrusive verification measures that were not mentioned when I originally signed up.

    What have you got against Paypal? It works extremely well with Prolific, and I get the money in my bank account within less than a minute of withdrawing it from Prolific and going via Paypal.

    And, why is Amazon 'dreaded'? Again, what's the problem there? It surely can't get much easier than spending a voucher on Amazon which, basically, costs you nothing apart from, perhaps, postage?
  • I did post a response to your question @Vectis but it seems to have disappeared. Basically, I disapprove of the business practices of both organisations.
