Why this page is sorted by name
Putting these in an order would mean deciding that one answer beats another, and on most of these questions that depends entirely on who is reading. A lower cash-out bar is better if you want the money soon and worse if it arrives as a gift card. A single payout method is fine until it is the one that does not work in your country.
So the rows sit in alphabetical order and the differences are left where you can see them. Every figure carries the page it came from and the day it was read. Found one that has moved? Tell us.
