I went for a weekend out of town ( the first one after my surgery). Iasked for payment at several sites (including a new one where I had enough for my first payout). I was very happy to come back, checl my email and see those lovely words: ... has sent you $... I felt as if they had given me a present although I worked hard for it. But still is nice to have it safe in my account.
The first payment from a new site (always a risk) feels better still. I wouldn´t have thought at first, but it ads up. It will pay me for my vacations next month and I will bring lots of pictures.
Do you fell happy for these $1 or $2 payments? What do you do with them? Save? Spend on the dot? Do they really help? Share!

That´s a nice way to spend the money. But, you you mean you start buying Christmas presents in March?

Immediate payments are great, but as Workingmom mentioned, as long as the site is legitimate and paying, I don't mind waiting.
Yes, receiving the initial payment from a site is gratifying, but don't let that fool you...I've been paid by some sites a couple of times, only to have them mysteriously close up with no explanation.
The money I earn is usually re-invested in sites that pay for upgrades or I use the earnings to treat my children to the movies, or out for ice cream...something fun for them (and me too!)

I like these small payments. I kind of wait until they all add up so that I can transfer them to my bank account with fewer fees.

I usually transfer them when they amount to $200. Looks nicer. But that money is made of a lt of $1 and $2 cashouts.

$1 or $2 payments and you're of on a vacation? Maybe when you have really several of those, yes. Yes, I love payments too but I don't get paid that often and I don't have many sites from which I could have some incomes put together to make a beautiful sum. I could only wish.

hi margujicha I would feel happier with a ten dollar payment like I get in mysurvey.com once Ihave reached one thousand points . I have already cashed out for one ten dollar check and already have almost four hundred
points for another ten dollars. it is fun too to do the surveys and they are sometimes really interesting. i put them in the bank and pay mybills with them.

That´s wonderful. Unfortunatly many sites (includig survey sites) are only for US residents. The rest of the world can´t gain from them even when they say they are international. I live frugally and my pension is enough to pay my bills. So I use my online earnings for extras. Usually they are for vacations but this year I´ll have some extras due to my shoulder surgery. Still I´ll go for a week or so to the south of Chile in April.

Im very happy for any incomming payment to support my daily life, i dont like beeing dependant on my boyfriend because im unemployed. I do though have several of small jobs laying around where im clapping in my hands every time i recieve payment.
I can though only transfer the funds from my paypal to my bank account everytime it is around $100 to avoid extra transfer fees.

Very true indeed, problem for me is mainly the fact im Danish of native but living in the Netherlands with my Dutch boyfriend, and most companies requires thier workers to speak dutch unless you can proove they cant survive without you. And when i started my education within marketing and economics i did not plan an economical crisis...

I have found that if I work hard and trade sites with real people instead of renting, I can earn a nice amount. I also withdraw when I have enough to be worth it.
Take care and luck!

Congratulations on your exam! I find online earning a good way of getting money for vacations and like mylot as a place to talk with people from all the world. But I have 2 university degrees and worked as a university professor for some years. I am retired now but it´s very rewarding to do what you want to do and are studying. Keep at it!

I think there are very few sites that give instant payments, but the ones the don't, really don't bother me, as long as they pay. It does take patience, that is for sure, so if you haven't got patience to wait, then you might be chomping at the bit to wait for your payment. I can wait though as it isn't that much anyway. I really don't make all that much from any of them, but it all adds up over time so that is all that matters to me. Yes, I do love the instant payments, as it makes me feel that I have hit the mother load. It is all good, no matter when I get it. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Immediate payments are always nice...but like I tell people as long as they are paying I don't mind the wait
I belong to several sites where the cashouts are $25 and above...so it takes longer, but they are nice paypal deposits.
I use the paypal debit card, so it makes it real handy to spend for daily necessities or to just take out cash if needed. The checks I receive go into my bank account.

My country has debit cards and I had one until recently. But my Visa card will give me extra US$ if I use it ( I pay it at the end of the month and it works). I can use those dollars to pay part of my airfare for my vacations as its asociated with a travel agency.

Im nearing my payouts too i can totally relate to the feeling. I wish some people will learn how to believe and appreciate the hard work that we are doing just to earn extra ;)

I like them if they work the way they say they're going to (which in my case they usually don't). Immediate in the language of me does not mean immediate. It usually takes at least three days I've found if they do it at all. Now, I shy away from those immediate payment things because they're often scams.

These are all small happiness that we enjoy. Even I feel happy when I get payment from new sites and small payments like one or two dollars. I have not spent anything till now. I am waiting to make some good money and then spend for any gift to my daughter.

I love immediate payments too no matter how small! My husband used to laugh at my small earnings but now he is becoming aware that these little amounts add up and I’ve managed to save a little bit which has come in handy during difficult times. At the moment my goal is to save all my earnings and put them towards a trip at the end of the year to visit family in another state. I may not cover all the flights but I can certainly boost our spending money!

I like immediate payments, too,especially if they're really needed. Congratulations on your payments! Yes, I'm always happy for $! or $2 payments. I think every little bit helps. I look forward to seeing the pictures you made on your vacation. Kathy.

I hope you have a great time! The picture you made in Aruba is beautiful! Whenever I think of Aruba, I can't help but think of Natalee Holloway. I believe a lot of people here in the states think about her whenever they hear of Aruba. That was so awful what happened to her. She lived in Birmingham, which is an hour drive from where I lived. The governor of our state has boycotted travel to Aruba since this happened. I've been hearing here lately that they have found a skeleton and they think it might be Natalee. They don't know for sure, though. I just hope this will bring some closure on the case because everybody is so tired of hearing about it. I've been trying to find Aruba on my globe but my globe is an antique, I've found out. Did Aruba used to be known as Trinidad? I knew that they said Aruba was somewhere near Venezuela. Kathy.

I´ll send a picture of a sunset in Aruba in September 2008. That was my before last vacation. Then came the one aboard a sailboat (the picture in my avatar in one of them) and I´ll be going for a short vacation at the end ofthis month.

I agree with that. I wrote this because gagabux paid me immediatly although I had even read some posts here as to the site being a scam. But I guess some people love to spread bad news.

I know. I find gagabux a lot better than neobux because it takes so little to cashout. Neobux takes forever.
