Are there any SR rewards that come quickly?

[Disneefun]

I used to cash out for disney cards, but when they started taking almost 2 months to come, I stopped and switched to paypal. It still took a month, but that was a little better. This last time I tried an amazon card b/c I thought, "Hey, it's email, it should come quicker." Well, it's been a month and still nothing.

Is there ANYTHING at SR that comes faster than a month or is everything sloooooow? When I cash out, I kind of want my stuff in a timely manner. I guess I've been spoiled by QR that has paypal the next day (usually) and other things with in a week. If SR can't speed it up, I guess I'll switch all my activities to QR.

No, their time period is 4-6 weeks. You can't *expect* things to come earlier (though I will say that I've gotten Old Navy GCs fairly quickly in the past).

Now just to be sure, have you checked your spam folder to make SURE that the amazon GC wasn't sent already?

Anyway, they just try to do everything really carefully and aboveboard so that we are happy, merchants are happy, and they are happy.


I can't stand QR, just never figured it out at ALL, so I can't understand why you'd want to switch, but I do know there are plenty who like it there so I get *that* you'd want to switch. But I'm sure the care that SR takes will start being copied by others in the future, if only to protect themselves...

Maybe because their shopping percentages are usually higher than most, their survey payouts are usually higher than most (and there are more surveys available), their payouts are quick & easy, and their customer service is great.

I personally find QR VERY easy to follow and navigate. Most days you earn at least 10 cents just by clicking on sites and emails. Add the $2-$3 per day you can earn on surveys, and the higher shopping paybacks and the money adds up VERY quickly.

I LOVE QR!!!!

I've never had anything take 2 months to arrive, mine arrive b/t 4 and 5 weeks.

The reason they do it this way is to protect themselves from fraud. If someone does a bunch of fraudulent stuff, cashes out, the fraud and revoked credits don't usually show up right away. By that time you already have your ill gotten rewards and they are S.O.O.L.

Not you of course...I mean in general people who abuse rewards systems.

I don't know anything about QR or why they pay quickly, just saying what I know about SR. You have to do what is best for you.

I just look at my rewards as icing on the cake money, it gets here when it does, there's no real reason for me to need it asap, so I just make sure I cash out in time for whatever I'm using it for, and allow at least 6 weeks for that.

I've tried to use QR and just can't seem to do it. I like the way SR is straight forward with their points and don't have a bunch of other stuff.

I don't mind the wait for my gift cards, its usually not as long as their terms say, and I do understand their need to protect against fraud. I've actually found their percents overall to be higher, but I guess it depends on what you are shopping for. Disney is definately higher and they have much such great coupon deals and all their fun forum games and contests.

My Points pays out the worst, I don't even go there anymore.
