There are times when many of us find ourselves in a bind and we need money today, even if it’s just a couple of bucks. Fortunately, there are some websites you can use to earn fast cash online.
I’m not going to lie to you, many of them are just extra cash online and will never replace your income. Regardless, they can save you in a pinch when you need it most if you use them regularly and allow the money to build up.
Below is a list of sites that just about anyone can use that will pay daily or at least once per week.
And don’t forget to subscribe to my free weekly newsletters while you’re here (you can put your email in here to start getting them), I send out more information like this FREE when I find it.
And if a newsletter isn’t your thing, take a look at my e-books you can download here for focused, in-depth information you can reference anytime.
Sproutful Has a Low $5 Cash Out
Sproutful is a newer rewards site where you can earn extra money taking surveys and completing other activities online.
I haven’t personally tried Sproutful yet, but I have seen good reviews from people who have been using it. In particular, users have reported reaching the low cash-out threshold fairly quickly and getting their rewards fast once they redeem.
You can start redeeming Sproutful rewards once you’ve earned $5. Depending on the reward you choose, options include cash through PayPal or Venmo, prepaid Visa cards, and popular gift cards.
Sproutful says most rewards are delivered within just a few hours, which is one of the main reasons I’m including it on this list.
You can sign up for Sproutful here and start checking the available surveys and other earning opportunities.
Survey Junkie Lets You Cash Out at $5
Survey Junkie is another popular survey panel that pays you for sharing your opinions with companies and brands.
This is not one I’ve tried just yet, but it’s been around for years, and I’ve seen plenty of good reviews from people who use it for extra money.
The minimum to redeem is just $5, or 500 points. Once you’ve reached that amount, you can redeem your earnings for cash through PayPal, and U.S. members may also have options such as bank transfer and popular e-gift cards.
One thing I especially like for the purposes of this list is that Survey Junkie says PayPal and e-gift-card redemptions can be instant!

Earn Fast Cash Online With Attapoll
Attapoll is a newer survey panel me and my son have been experimenting with. It’s an app you download and it’s really easy to use.
Once you have the app installed, you’ll see a long list of surveys you can take. Note that (as is the case with most survey panels) you will not qualify to take each one you see listed. There are “screener” questions you answer initially so they can decide if you are a fit for the survey.
Attapoll will pay you via Paypal (or other options) as soon as you have $3 (this minimum may change depending on country and pay method). You have to request the cash out. I have been paid and it came to me immediately.
You can sign up for Attapoll here to begin taking short mobile surveys.

Paid Viewpoint Pays Within a Few Days
Paid Viewpoint is one of my favorite (if not my absolute favorite) paid survey panel.
There are many great things about them, not least of which is the fact the surveys are really short and not a repetitive pain in the rear to do as they are with so many other online survey sites.
And — even if you disqualify — they will usually still give you something! So you haven’t sat there and wasted time for nothing on the screening questions.
If you redeem your Paid Viewpoint money to Paypal (which you can do once you have $15 in your account if you’re a new user), they will send it either the same day you request it or the next day.
If you happen to be a member in good standing, you will be able to cash out at $10, and then at $5 on your subsequent attempts. So, it’s worth hanging in till you get to your first $15 since it probably won’t take as long for your next cash-outs.
In my experience, if I request the money early in the morning, they send it that morning. If I request it later in the day, it arrives by the next morning.

Swagbucks Pays In Ten Business Days Or Less
I almost didn’t list Swagbucks here because, while it’s a great rewards site, they list in their terms that you can’t expect for up to 10 days after you cash out.
Although, Swagbucks states that their Paypal payments usually arrive in a day or two, but you have to allow them up to 10 days.
However, it’s still an option to earn fast cash because some people report getting paid much faster than this (2 or 3 days at most).
You can redeem your SB (Swagbucks) for Amazon codes, Paypal cash, and gift cards to popular merchandisers among other things.
These points build up quickly thanks the the large number of things you can do on the site to earn. I’ve used this site and been paid many times.
