How scheduled payouts work: pending coins, cut-offs and PayPal
Why Kita pays on fixed days, what “pending” coins mean, how the cut-off decides which payout day you join, and what to check so your PayPal payout arrives.

Kita pays on fixed calendar days instead of “within 3–7 business days”. Here’s the full path from finishing a survey to money in PayPal, and why it’s built this way.
Why fixed payout days?
- You always know the date. The next payout day is shown before you request, not after.
- Every payout is checked by a person. Batching lets us review each request for fraud properly — which protects the partners who fund your rewards.
- Lower costs. Sending in batches keeps fees down, and Kita covers PayPal’s sending fee, so what you request is what arrives.
The current payout days and cut-off are always on the FAQ and on your Wallet page.
The path of a reward
- You finish a survey or task. The partner confirms it and Kita credits coins (1,000 coins = US$1.00).
- Some rewards start as pending. Partners can reverse a reward for a short period if they find a problem, such as speeding or a duplicate account. Pending coins become available automatically once that window closes.
- You request a withdrawal any time your available balance is above the minimum.
- The cut-off decides your batch. Requests made at least the cut-off number of days before a payout day join that day’s batch; later requests join the next one.
- Payout day. We review and send the batch by PayPal, then mark each request paid — you get an email.
- It appears on Payment Proofs with your name masked.
Pending vs available
| Status | What it means | Can you withdraw it? |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Credited, but the partner can still reverse it | Not yet |
| Available | The review window has passed | Yes |
| Reversed | The partner rejected it (and any bonus on it) | No |
Make sure your payout arrives
- Use a PayPal account in your own name, and double-check the email when you request.
- Verify your PayPal account so it can receive money and withdraw.
- Keep one Kita account per person and don’t use a VPN — both cause requests to be held for review.
- Answer support quickly if we ask a question about a request; unanswered questions push it to the next batch.
