If you're looking to earn money through paid surveys and expressing your views, you certainly don't want to endure lengthy waits to receive your rewards.
Fortunately, numerous survey platforms feature minimal or even zero payout thresholds, enabling you to receive your earnings swiftly, and in some instances, instantaneously.
What does PSF Australia define as a ‘low payout threshold'?
Well, there are really three elements to consider when looking at a low payout threshold;
- The volume and frequency of surveys – there is no point in having a low threshold if there are no surveys to answer and earn money from.
- What is the threshold itself – we consider AUD $10.00 to be the ceiling of a low payout threshold as it falls halfway between the range of survey thresholds.
- The actual payout method – some sites can take slightly longer to pay and those with direct debit options may take 3-5 days for cash to reach your bank account.
Having said all this, the experience a user will have in reaching a particular market research company threshold varies greatly depending on their attention, speed to answer surveys, demographics, and even time of the day.
What does PSF Australia recommend?
We suggest joining two of the best Survey sites and two GPT sites initially to get a feel for the speed at which you'll reach individual thresholds.
With that in mind, read on to find the low payout threshold survey sites, so you can earn extra cash from surveys, and FAST!

How do GPT sites compare for low payout thresholds?
Generally, GPT sites carry quite low payout thresholds. They have numerous activities and keep users engaged (often longer than survey sites).
You can expect to earn less per activity, spend less time on each activity, do more activities and actually reach the payment threshold faster. Kaching! You'll have a small amount of cash in your hand sooner.
How do Survey sites compare for low payout thresholds?
On average expect 3-5 days of survey answering to reach the payout threshold.
Look for quality survey sites that don't simply rebadge other company surveys. For Australians, all you need do is work from the top of our surveys list (starting with Octopus Group, Toluna and Ipsos iSay) downwards…
Happy surveys!
