With mysurvey, it's a points system. Once you have 1000 points, you can get $10 cash. I believe they mail you a check. If you have more than 1000, you can get cash in increments of $5. So, $15, $20, $25, so on. You can also turn in your points for merchandise/prizes if you prefer. The points add up pretty quickly for me, I have gotten several great prizes just this year. I will gladly send anyone referrals, just PM me an email address!
