If it was $4/hr, everyone would do it. The problem is that I have spent 10 hours on the site and have earned 33 cents. I've attempted about 20 surveys and never received any money from any of them, even the ones I "qualify" for.
Yep. I'm surprised that so many on this Budget Board cash out with gift cards instead of cash through Paypal. I always prefer money over gift cards. Maybe the $25 Disney Gift Card is a psychological carrot that helps them keep focused.
I don't have nor want a PayPal account.
I don't know why you haven't qualified for many surveys. When I'm surveying (and I haven't since before Christmas, but I'm at $20.33 so I should get bcak into it to at least cash out one more gift card before our trip) I could get a dollar or two a day without trying too hard.
Here's my December payouts, when I was ONLY doing surveys during my lunch break at work:
