Just writing this to let others know who get the cash option and choose to recieve it by check. I did get my Gather check within 3 weeks of cash out. I thought that was pretty quick. I have cashed it and tucking the money back for school clothes for my kids.

If you get the cash options, what are you using the money towards?

It usually takes me a couple weeks; maybe a day or two longer, to get a check by snail mail. I'll be cashing out for $200 within the next couple of days and leave myself a couple bucks in my account to start building on again. I just put it in my pocket and use it as spending cash on whatever during the course of my days.

I get it through paypal in days. I cashed out for $120-ish at the beginning of the month, and I'm back to around $22.

I opted to stick with the giftcards...but the cash is sounding more tempting all the time.

I haven't gotten the option yet.. If I do It will be used for bills.

It only takes me a few weeks to get a check by snail mail. Sometimes it comes within a week. To tell you the truth I just apply it to the small bills.

Still in GC mode but thanks for the news!

I haven't been offered the cash yet, but I already qualify for them to offer it.

If they offer it I will take it.

I don't want the cash option. I haven't been offered it yet but if I am I will refuse it. If I get cash my conscience will make me use it responsibly, if I am getting gift cards I can spend it on my hubby, kids and myself in fun ways like books or steaks!

I get it via paypal. I use it to pay for small bills and treats. It bought our Christmas tree last year:)

sounds pretty good. I get it in my pay pal account.

I get mine by paypal, and then we just use it for bills, or we save it if we are trying to buy something bigger. I used all my earnings from January-March to work on my parents' bathroom. I didn't make much in April or May, since I was away from home for over 6 weeks of that time. The money I made then got spent on a few things we ordered from Ebay.

My June earnings will go toward the remote start and block heater for our van!

I'm glad that you received it!

3 weeks is pretty fast, but if you use PayPal you can typically receive your money much faster.

I have a pay pal account. But right now I much rather have it come to me by check.
Chris E. Jun 24, 2008, 10:40pm EDT
I get mine through paypal. I usually get the monet the day after I cashout.

I use PayPal as well and am always amazed by how fast it is deposited into my account. Congrats on making the cash option and receiving your check quickly. I hope some other people on our go-getters list are able to reach the Cash Option too.
