Title: Payment Preference: Paypal vs. Checks
Post by: BrittneB on September 21, 2012, 06:35:16 pm
I missed the minimum amount last month and couldn't cash out by the 30th so I had to wait until this month. I took everyone's advice and I am waiting until the end of this month to cash out so I will get a bigger check and i have almost doubled what I made last month this month alone and we still have a few more weeks to go so I am happy with my decision to wait. I was just curious, which payment do you receive quicker or what's everyone's preference through your own personal experience, Paypal or a Check? I'm still on the fence on which method I want to use to cash out since you can still get your 1 dollar bonus either way.

At first, I used PayPal and then later switched to direct deposit, (mainly to skip the transfer delay step however, that's usually only a matter of an extra day or so difference).  I haven't ued the paper check method since that one seems to have a greater delay due to postal delivery variances.

Hi  :)

I would have chosen paypal over checks personally since i do most of my banking online anyway. but as a canadian i can only use paypal, itd be faster anyway.

paypal is the absolute fastest way to be paid!  Even pays before direct deposit!

I love Paypal because you don't have to go to the bank, it get deposit in Paypal and if you want you could have Paypal money transferred to your bank it only takes around 3 days. :thumbsup:

I haven't taken the check route. I've had direct deposit and paypal. Since I have a paypal bill me later balance, I'm using paypal so that I don't have to use funds from my checking account those months to pay them off. Direct deposit worked well, too :)

I always go for PayPal! It's so easy and convenient!

With checks, you have to wait for it to be mailed (and it could get lost in the mail!), wait until you can bring it to you bank, and then the bank won't make to funds available for 2-3 days. With PayPal, the 20th comes and BOOM! It's there, along with email confirmation!

First of all, let me say Congratulations!  Way to go!   :thumbsup:

I've used all the cash out methods available and they all work and are all very prompt.  I've never had any issues. 

I love FusionCash!   :heart:

I have always used direct deposit and love it. My account is through a pre-paid debit card, and I have never had any problems.

Paypal (unless you're not verified then that's a problem ) and plus with paypal you get your money faster. you can't use a check to buy stuff online and if you want to deposit the check you could also deposit paypal plus you can use paypal in some stores now.

I have PayPal  associated with my Savings account at my credit union, so I have a debit card from PayPay and I can use it where credit cards are used.

Congratulations on your cashout!  I was so nervous using paypal.  However, it turned out to be perfect for me!!  So I like the paypal choice the best.  For me cashouts will be waiting to be used for christmas shopping online!   ;D

I like both myself.  Sometimes a check is good if I need cash on hand, like for a bill that can't be paid through online.

I have been using the check option, but it usually takes a few days before I can bring it to my credit union. I may switch to PayPal.

I have not cashed out yet but i prefer paypal so i do not have to keep running to the bank and it is sitting there for me to use for items or i can have paypal deposit it into my bank account. I prefer to leave it there to pay for items or bill that accept paypal.

Thanks, you answered my question before I even had a chance to ask if a pre-paid card would work for direct deposit. I don't have a bank account, I use a prepaid card so I think this is the way I might go.

Thanks for everyone's input, it was very helpful. It looks like my first check will be double the minimum amount to cash out which is great because I really need the extra money.
