Their payout options is lackluster and unsatisfying. Would not recommend using Surf. Ever since last year their offerings for rewards dwindled and now they do not offer anything else. The Rewards isn't as good as cash. Most you get is discounts. Not items.

Its easy enough to generate points, but a lack of rewards makes this a con. I wrote to the company siting this only to be told that it wouldn't be economically viable to pay all users. I uninstalled the add-on after a few months as I should have earned £40 of their sold-out vouchers and I can't see them coughing up the money anytime soon.
