Which program(s) are you talking about? It really depends more on the program sometimes than the reward. MyPoints, for example, does their rewards in batches every month or so it seems. So if you cash out for a Webbie, you might get it in a week or you might get it in four weeks. When I cashed out for a WalMart giftcard from PCH Points it took 4 weeks. My Olive Garden giftcard from HarrisPollOnline took more than 4 weeks. My Rainforest giftcard from MyPoints only took 6 days this last time! Blink and Memolink and a few others are famous for taking forever to payout.

It also depends on how many points are needed to cashout for the various rewards. Webbies tend to take more points than giftcards for places like WalMart or Rainforest. Depends how you want to use your rewards.

Sorry, I do MyPoints and Creations. At mypoints i just cashed out for a circuit city giftcard, but i'm wondering if a webcertificate would've been quicker. At Creations, I cashed out for Disney Dollars but am wondering if paypal would be easier and it also takes less points. Not that I have any experience using paypal. Just wondering what other people have found. I also do pch and milesource but probably will not after i can cash out next. thanks

Hi threeprincesses,
I do both CR and MyPoints. Chris at CR does his webbies in batches (once per month). If you happen to redeem for a webbie right after he's done a batch, you'll be in for a longer wait but no longer than a month. As far as the other rewards, I did cash out for $DD once and they took more than a month. I think that he also batches his PayPal payments, so like the webbies, it will all depend on when you redeem in relationship to when he sends them out.

MyPoints also batches their webbies but I get the impression that they are a bigger operation and they send them out twice per month. My last webbie took less 2 weeks. I just ordered another this morning. We'll see how long it takes. It's been my experience that they never take longer than a few weeks. I've heard of members who redeem for GC's waiting longer for their rewards due to lack of inventory and slow snail mail.
