When do survey and game partners actually pay?

Every reward app sits between two payment schedules: members want to be paid now, partners pay later. How an app handles that gap tells you most of what you need to know about it. This page lays out the real cycles of Bonusboy's partners and how they become the date in your wallet.

The cycle, step by step

  1. You complete a task. The partner reports it to Bonusboy within seconds (surveys) or minutes to 48 hours (game steps). The reward appears as "Checking" or "Confirmed".
  2. The month closes. Partners total up what they owe each publisher for the month.
  3. Invoice period. Some partners need 1 to 31 days to issue or approve the invoice.
  4. Net terms. Payment is due 7 to 90 days after the invoice, depending on the partner.
  5. Minimum check. If the total owed is below the partner's minimum, it rolls into the next month.
  6. Deposit arrives. Bonusboy marks the rewards covered by that deposit as withdrawable, and you can cash out.

"Expected wait" includes a 3-day buffer for bank transfers. The low end applies to a task done on the last day of a month, the high end to the first day. Shopping cashback has its own extra wait: the store first has to confirm the purchase was not returned, which can take 30 to 90 days before the network even counts it.

How the wallet date is computed

For each reward we take the month it was reported, add the partner's invoice period, net terms and buffer, and show the resulting date. There is one exception: if our balance with that partner is still below its minimum, we show "waiting for partner" instead of a date, because a date we cannot keep is worse than no date. Once the balance crosses the minimum, the date appears on all of that partner's rewards.

An example

A CPX Research survey completed in September 2026: the month closes on 30 September, invoicing takes about 15 days, net 90 runs from there, plus the 3-day buffer. The Wallet therefore shows a date between 16 January and 16 February 2027, once our balance with CPX is above its $25 minimum. A Lootably game step completed on 5 October is expected in early to mid December under the same arithmetic.

Quick answers

Why do reward apps take months to pay?

Because the companies that buy surveys and game installs pay the platforms months later, and the platforms pay apps after that. An app that pays instantly is either lending you the money or paying from new members' activity, both of which end badly. Bonusboy waits for the deposit and says so.

What is a "partner minimum"?

The smallest balance a partner will transfer. CPX Research pays when it owes a publisher at least $25; TheoremReach and RapidoReach at $50; Klink at $100. Below that, the balance rolls to the next month.

How do I know when a partner has paid Bonusboy?

In the Wallet: the rewards covered by that deposit switch from Confirmed to Withdrawable, and you can cash them out. Before that, each reward shows its expected date, or "waiting for partner" while the partner is below its minimum.
