CashCrate is one of those Get Paid To (GPT) Sites where you are paid to complete offers, some free and some not so much. It has become tremendously popular with stay at home moms, college students, and just about anyone else with a few minutes and a desire to make some money at home. There is four different ways to earn money with the CashCrate system.
Completing Offers
The first and most predominant way is with the offer system for which they are most well known. You will be “paid” to complete survey’s and other offers. Most of these offers are “free” and some require you to pay for subscriptions of sign up for credit cards. The biggest sticking point with the offers is that it is almost impossible to know how much of the offer you have to complete. For the purpose of this article I completed one offer:
Based on the information here all I have to do is download and install the toolbar, I clicked on the link provided and downloaded said piece of potential spyware… err toolbar. With much chagrin I then installed the toolbar, which told me it failed but installed anyway. Go Figure. Once you have completed the offer you need to submit the offer for payment, this will put the .50 payout in your pending queue:
It usually takes a while before you get the credit for your completion once you do it will fall into your earnings bucket. There are some offers which seem easy, like the one I did, and some which send you down a rabbit hole of offers and questions without any real end in sight.
Completing Daily Surveys
The second way you can earn with CashCrate is by completing their daily surveys, you can complete two surveys a day and will be paid .80 for each survey completed. The problem is there is no guarantee you are going to qualify for any given survey so you may spend an hour trying to get two surveys done. $1.60 an hour doesn’t really seem to be to valuable to me.
Shopping Using Affiliate Links
CashCrate’s third way of earning you a little cash on the side is by shopping using their affiliate links. Their list is no where near as long as the list Upromise has, but some of the payouts seem pretty good. You can get 5% from Apple iTunes, 7% from Babies R’ US, and 20% from Flower.com. I have never completed an order through CashCrate but it seems like a definite possibility.
Referrals
The fourth, and the most lucrative, way to make money with CashCrate is through the referral system. For every referral you make you get 20% of their earnings and an additional 10% of the earnings of every person they refer. When you reach a total of 50 Active referrals that amount increases to 25% and 10%, the complete table of referral bonuses is listed below. In addition to the percentage payouts, you will get a $3.00 bonus when any of your referrals gets to the $10.00 mark.
Conclusions
You are not going to become a millionaire, or a thousandaire just by completing offers and getting referrals. If you do it right though and get a good amount of active referrals you are going to be making a little bit of extra money for doing little to no actual work yourself. You won’t get paid for your efforts until you get at least $20.00 in your account. It is probable that the time you expend completing offers and getting referrals isn’t worth the payout, but if you can build a large enough referral base you are going to get paid.

Nice review on CashCrate. I will check it out asap.
Nice review.Thank you for sharing.Looking forward for the next review.Keep it up
Great site, I have been using it for almost a year and have made almost a thousand dollars.
How so? i started a couple days ago and i barly made $2.50. Everytime I try somthing none of them count and every page I am going to I am feeling like there scams. whats your secret?
Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.. I’ve been using Cash Crate for the last 6-8 months – and just about every month I make at least $75 or so from it. One month I made over $450 from cash crate after one of my referrals got linked on MSN through a post of his that got picked up on MSN Smart Spending.
So yes, the most lucrative part of this is to use cash crate for the referrals – through banners/links/etc on your blog. If you can get lucky like my referral did you can make a lot of money (my referral made well over a thousand dollars from cash crate that month.)
Good luck!
CashCrate really is a great way to earn some extra money each month. You have the ability to make thousands of dollars each month with the referral program.
Cheers

Great review of cashcrate. I would highly recommend cashcrate to anyone viewing this CashCrate Review. The new site design that was released in July has really made it so much easier to make money online.
nice review you should ad more info atleast.
It is not likely that you are going to earn lots of money on your own at CashCrate, but you can get a bit of spending money. I’ve been able to earn well over $100 with the site. It’s not much, but I’ve earned it while watching television for the most part.
That’s nothing, I’ve earned over $200 dollar at My site and it’s still growing. I think Cashpirate is a better site, plus you can now cash out at only 20 cent.
just click my name for the link. I’ll see you there!
