How to Make Money with Cashcrate

Cashcrate.com is a free website that pays you to complete surveys, register at different sites, shopping, free trials and referrals. It is available to United States members and some offers can benefit international members. You must speak English to join this site.

To get paid you need to earn $10 using any of their methods. They do not use paypal, instead they send a check directly to you. The checks are mailed out around the 20th of every month however sometimes they get sent before that. If you don't make the $10 payout (its hard not to) then your balance will carry over into the next month. The reason Cashcrate doesn't use paypal is to prevent fraud.

To do the surveys you need to have at least 4 or 5 different email addresses. Go to Google and sign up for a free gmail account. Here is the link:

http://mail.google.com

Google allows you to take one email address and turn it into several different addresses by adding a period (.) anywhere in the address. For example the email address marysmith@gmail.com could be

m.arysmith@gmail.com
ma.rysmith@gmail.com
mar.ysmith@gmail.com
mary.smith@gmail.com
marys.mith@gmail.com
marysm.ith@gmail.com

As you can see these all look like different email addresses now and that is how Cashcrate and all other GPT sites will see them. Use several different email address while you are doing offers and surveys.

Cashcrate also has a referral program. You get paid 20% of what your direct referrals make and 10% of what their referrals make. After you have 50 active referrals you start earning 25% of what your direct referrals earn. They have recently added even more benefits for those who can manage their referrals and keep a good number of them active.

If you are comfortable using your credit card you can get paid between $1 and $40 or more to sign up for free trials. Check out their forum to get opinions on which paid free trials are worth doing. If any don't credit or cancel like they are supposed to Cashcrate will remove it from the offer list. The forum has hundreds (or more) members that will answer any questions you have. They are proof that this site does make people money. They do not tolerate spam of any kind on the forum. This does include referrals links to other sites, if you add that to your sig you might be warned and then banned.

In my first month with Cashcrate I earned $24.01 from doing free surveys alone. It only took me about 20 minutes all together. Over time I promoted my referral link and started making a little more money when my referrals did offers. Cashcrate pays a $3 bonus the first time your referrals make their $10 payouts and you still get 20% to 25% of what they earn.

The surveys and offers are sorted out in an efficient way. You can select what kind of offer you want to do and how you want it listed. Cashcrate gives you the ability to view pending and confirmed offers plus keep track of your referrals and payments.

A few offers and surveys are set aside to let you earn points that you can redeem in the prize shop. You can exchange your points for gift cards in amounts ranging from $10 to $100. If you earn enough points you can get digital cameras, 1GB iPod Shuffle, Xbox 360, 30GB iPod Video or a Sony PSP. You earn one point for every offer or survey you complete plus anywhere from 5 to 300 points to do select free offers.

To make sure you get credit of all surveys and offers that you do, learn how to delete cookies from your browser. You need to do this every time you complete a task. If you do not then you probably won't get credit for what you do. This actually goes for all GPT sites and not just Cashcrate. GPT sites want new customers and if they see you've already visited one of their partners sites you won't get credit for anything you do. This can be a major waste of time for you.
