After signing up with a survey company, consumers are sent survey invitations to their email accounts. The amount of points or cash amount to be rewarded for completing the survey is usually posted at the beginning of the online survey and is awarded upon completion. Points vary with each survey depending on their length and complexity, and also the number of people who qualify to take specific surveys.
Survey companies who provide members with online surveys usually pay out in one of two ways; the first is through a cheque, which is sent via regular mail. For those who have a PayPal account, many companies are now offering to pay survey takers electronically. Using the PayPal option often allows the survey taker to receive the cash they earned for taking surveys for money much sooner. Here you can find a list of PayPal surveys.
