(9/2/09 update: SINCE THE TIME THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN IN JUNE ‘07 I HAVE MADE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM CASHCRATE - here is a video of on of my checks along with pictures of a couple more - CashCrate proof of payment)
You should never pay to join a survey site as all legitimate sites are free. CashCrate is real and it is one of the best free paid survey sites there is. This is my CashCrate review. (13 years and older for this so it is a great job ideas for teens and it is absolutely free!)
As of 9/2/09 I have now made thousands of dollars. I have gotten a check from CashCrate every month and promptly too. There is obviously good money to be made here.
It is easy to sign up to Cash Crate and start making money and they will send you a check just like the one you saw in my video. They have an active forum as well where you can find all the help you should ever need and an simple to understand website that is easy to navigate.
Your First Step
Your first step is to go to your members area were all the surveys and offers will be displayed. You will probably want to start out with all the offers that say “Register for free”. First do a sort like I show below to find all the 100% free offers sorted by the highest payout. You are here to make money on Cash Crate so you might as well start from the highest paying offers and go down.
Scroll down through the offers to see if there are any that look appealing. You can do any offer, of course, but the easiest by far are the register for free offers. The two offers below should take a total of 2 to 3 minutes to fill out and will get you a quick easy buck. Look for others like these that will only take you a minute or two to do. Please note, you should sign up for a free second email address through Gmail, Yahoo, or Aol so that any followup email you may get from the survey and offer companies does not go to your regular email address. You will probably not get a lot of spam but it is better to be safe.
You should continue to do all these “register for free” offers until you run out of them. Once you do, you can then choose other offers such as the surveys until you reach your $20.00 Cash Crate payment threshold. The surveys take a bit longer and that is why I recommend starting with all the register for free offers. You can get ambitious and sign up for offers that are not free if you like for bigger payouts, but that is absolutely not necessary.
Hint #1: Don’t do the ringtone offers because they are not free even though they say they are. All you have to do is enter your cell phone # but your cell phone bill will then be charged a monthly fee. I did this and learned the hard way so unless you really want ring-tones, don’t do any of these offers.
Hint #2: You should clear your computer cookies between every offer just to be safe. Some offers are from the same company and sometimes if you already have their cookie on your computer for the first offer you will not get credit for the second offer. This need to clear your computer cookies will apply for all survey sites and not just with CashCrate.
How To Refer Others For More Money
The best way to make money with CashCrate and any other survey site is to refer people. This is 100% optional and you do not need to refer anyone ever to get paid. The first level commission for CashCrate (those who sign up under you) is 25% and the second level pays 10% (those that sign up under the person who signed up under you). This is more that any other survey site pays and what makes CashCrate so wonderful. This is a great way for someone to get started making money online and the best kind of passive income on the Internet.
How would I recommend getting started referring people to Cash Crate? Once you earn your $20.00 you should have a feel for the system and have learned how to do things quicker and make money faster. As you learn tips you can pass them along to others. You might start a blog about surveys or put up a Squidoo lens or write articles. One method you cannot use is to promote CashCrate on Myspace, Facebook, and other similar sites as their terms say that will get you banned. I am now making over $1,000 a month and I highly recommend them as one of the totally honest 100% legitimate survey sites.
Here is a list of some of the ways people are being creative and making referrals:
1. Post on GPT forums
2. Refer Friends and Family
3. Refer Guild Members/Online Friends
4. Door hang with home made flyers
5. Walk through parking lots putting flyers on cars
6. Make a blog
7. Keep your referal link on your Sig on all forums with a breif explanation
8. Find chat rooms and groups that have the sole purpose of “Easy Money Making”
9. Stick an add in the classifieds
10. Go down to your local college and talk to passerbyers (college kids always need money!)
11. Put a flyer up at work
12. Get a magnetic strip/sticker to put on your car so you advertise while you drive!
13. Post your link at the end of your YouTube videos
14. Seed/Upload your files alot? Stick a .txt in an RAR file with whatever you are uploading with your referal link and instructions
15. Give flyers for local buisnesses to hand out (Go to a food delivery place, see what it will take for them to coupon your flyers, may I suggest chinese?)
16. Send out flyers in a mailing list (http://www.usdatafax.com/ is one site you can get mailing lists)
17. Get a bot/macro to post your link with a simple explanation on any server you may be hosting/running
18. Make A Web Site
19.Tell people thru IM
20. Links Exchange
21 print business cards and include your phone number to enter into business drawings (like you find in a lot of restaurants)
Whatever you do remember it is free to sign up to Cash Crate. They have a great active forum with lots of help if you need it. This is a great way to make extra money online and get some money coming in. Many people (including me!) make hundreds every month and you can also read about how they do it in the forums. This is one of the many ways to make money you should be doing to add some extra spending money to your budget. It is easy and anybody can do it and CashCrate is the best survey site I know of. If you have any questions about this CashCrate reveiw please let me know in the comment section.

Hey, great site and good post! I have a site where you can find many GPT sites and some great GPT tips :). They can make you lots of extra money on top of what you’re already making!
I agree with you on this. I tended to stay away from survey style programs and sites but since discovering Cash Crate I enjoy its laid back feel and the fact you can earn a decent passive income through referrals.
I just put up a picture of my latest check for September. They really do pay…all you have to do is get over $10.00 and a check will be in the mail!
I’ve been putting off signing up, but I might have to give it a shot one of these days. Thanks for the review. Seems like a decent way to make a grip of cash.
The Nuker is right,I also made some money at CashCrate.
But I do not recommend it.
I later regretted it when I found I could make much more money doing the same offers at IFW’s (Incentivized Freebie Websites) through their associated forums like the Free Lunch Room.
And since you can only do an offer once no matter where you find it, I was not too happy to find I had used up most of the free/cheap offers when I was completing them for peanuts at CashCrate.
[...] CashCrate proof of payment – here it is. CashCrate is not a scam and it will nicely supplement any work from home jobs you might have! So far every month’s check has arrived safely in my mailbox. I got some of this $75.87 check by referring people but I did a few surveys too. So far I have made over $500.00 with CashCrate. You can make good money with CashCrate and here is the check to prove it. Read my CashCrate review. [...]
is that a cheque by earning online money how much time have u spend for your work .
Wow I think I’m actually going to try this and see if it works.
CashCrate is a wonderful “Work At Home” website.
Always pay on time.
I think CashCrate is the best GPT site around. The admins Carter and Joe have always answered my questions and concerns. Thank you for informing your readers about CashCrate.
Great article. GPT’s are a great way to earn cash for completing offers and especially taking surveys. I have been taking surveys online for almost a year now and I have made thousands of dollars so far and counting. The key is to sign up for as many of the good ones as you can. The best ones are the sites that pay well and send surveys consistently. I have written a blog about this which includes links to some of the best paid survey sites I have found. You can check it out here: legitimatepaidsurveysitesforyou.blogspot.com
I find the GPT sites a tad bit tedious – and always have to read through the various terms and conditions thoroughly. I prefer the paid survey firms, but as you say, I only use the legitimate ones!
yh it is a great site and im on $351 dollers in one month, check only took 2 days to come through. was really suprised as i live in Uk and it usualy takes around 5 working days, this really is a great site.
Legit site. Easy to make a little extra cash for whatever you need it for.
CashCrate is legit sign up now and start making money fast and easy.
I love CashCrate! I just got my first check last month, so now I know that it is legit! Mind as well make money if you are going to dink around surfing the web from the comforts of your own home. Great CashCrate review.
I’ve actually signed up under you as well, I think I’m a bit of the reason your revenue is doing so well!
I personally made almost $200 in August, its a highly recommended program for anyone out there wanting some extra cash. It wont get you rich, but a few hundred extra bucks is always nice!
Feel free to contact me about CashCrate at my website, I’m more than happy to assist with any tips, questions or any assistance you guys need to get started as well:
There’s no site I recommend more than this one!
Interesting post, I have actually been using CashCrate for the past year, and it makes me around $200/month which isn’t that bad for the amount of time it takes me.
I have been paid from them numerous times, and its always great to receive a check in the mail!
Cashcrate does pay, but I wouldn’t consider $20-$40 a month anything special considering the time and effort it takes to reach that level. The only way to make decent income with it is to gain hundreds of referrals which is a lot easier said than done.
With that said, yeah Cashcrate is a fun way for a teenager to make a few extra bucks but is hardly a legit home business opportunity.
Christopher,
First off, it looks like the site you linked to is nothing other than a typical hyped up “make money and get rich online” scam site.
Making money with Cashcrate is not a job but just one of many ways to make money. You can’t get rich or do it full time but you can make some nice extra cash as I have proven. Cash Crate is real and they pay right on time – what’s not to like about that?
Actually, CashCrate is an amazing way to make money, employeed or not. I stumbled across it mid-august and for a total of maybe 5? hours of work, I just got my first check for $182.01, horray!
Anyone that hasn’t heard of it, or is unsure exactly what its about, you can check my blog. I basically spend my free time reviewing places online that claim to pay you for misc things like surveys. I only post ones I’ve tried and have actually been paid for.
Enjoy!
I have made a decent amount of money on here.
CashCrate is alright, but I’ve had more success with a couple other sites. Wish I could post referral links but it’s probably not allowed.
TreasureTrooper.com and SWATcash are pretty good. TT is probably my favorite site, but that’s just because there’s games and more ways to win money. CC has a higher referral rate, but if you’re looking to join a site just to make some cash doing offers, I’d recommend TreasureTrooper or maybe even SWATcash!
I saw your post update. Congratulations & excellent work :)
(10-04-08 update: SINCE THE TIME THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN IN JUNE ‘07 I HAVE MADE OVER $1,900.00 FROM CASHCRATE – here is a video of my July 2008 check for $262.10- CashCrate proof of payment)
I totally agree with recent comment about CashCrate is the best GPT right now.
Good Luck Everybody
just got my first payment thru cashcrate :)
thanks :) Love the site
(idk if the above img tag will work… maybe this will)

What a great site, lots of info, I actually just joined cashcrate myself, and received my first check of $44 on 10/23/08. The extra income is helpful in this kind of economy and recession.
Gota quick question do you need to enter valid information in when filling out offers? I’m nervious that i will get a lot of junk mail.
Nick,
Like I said in the post here, you might want to get a second free email account from Yahoo, GMail, or AOL if you are afraid of getting spam.
I only use my second email when filling out the surveys and offers.
I’m glad i found this site, and thanks for the info. I’m very much intrested to try out CashCrate. Does it matter if I’m from the Philippines? I mean, would there be any complications getting paid if you’re not from the US?
You can get paid by PayPal so getting paid should not be a problem but there will probably be less offers open to you being in the Philippines. You could still make money by referring others though.
Cashcrate absolutely rocks! Ever since I signed up with them I have been very happy, I think they are the best GPT site online.
I’ve been using cashcrate for awhile, great site. Easy to use, so far. How is it when you start racking up money?
Congrats on your new healthy check.
I’m doing great with CashCrate over here too. It’s really a great website and best GPT right now.
Congrats again and thanks for sharing.
I love cashcrate :D
Cash Crate is great. you can only make so much money signing up for offers though. If you want to make real money with Cash Crate USE YOUR REFERRAL LINK! You can make lots of money referring others
is that a cheque by earning online money how much time have u spend for your work .
I just signed up for cashcrate but I am concerned about the free shipping of offers. Will this lead to hidden fees once these things start arriving. What if I don’t want to put my address. I don’t want any of the item. Please help through this,
I am worried about the special offers that might come to my house that part of the free surveys. How do I avoid these offers?
I don’t like to give my cc for most of the cash o surveys, how do you do?
Angela and Betty,
Only do the 100% free surveys and you never have to give your credit card or sign up to get anything.
You have to put your real address in your account info for CashCrate if you want to get a check because obviously they have to send it to you.
You can use a second email from Yahoo or Aol which is free if you want to make sure you get no spam. I have NEVER had anything shipped to my house though.
What about the phone number? I’m worried of being answering phone calls all day.
I have never been called but you should go read the forum threads that will answer all your questions.
I have joined aproximately25 different survey sites and I have noticed alot of them seem to be spinoffs of another site .Some of these have daily surveys for points and most ask the same qualifying questions with the same foremat with most of them you donot qualify for the survey or you get most of the way through it then they pop up with sorry try later after you have answered quite alot of thier survey . Then they do not reward you for the survey this does not seem right. What do you recomend and have you had this happen to you??
Yes this has happened to me and I just struggle through and go on to the next one always making sure to clear my cookies on the computer
although it may be hard to belive that you
can get free money for just doing adds cash
crate really does pay.
Its not exactly a get rich quick thing.dont expect
to make a thousand dollars a month off the from
the start. My first month about 3 months ago
i made about 50 bucks and now im up to almost 300.
its really a great program check it out.
Do you have to put your credit card on offers?
I have used cashcrate for the last couple months regularly. I have been a member for over 1 year. Just on and off at being active. I have been very active as of late. This is due to being unemployed and this is a great way for people to bring in some extra money
Flaite,
If you do only the 100% free offers, you should never give your credit card #. If it appears to ask you for a credit card, look at the very bottom of the page and there should be a link that says “skip” or “no thanks” that will let you go to the next page. Never give your credit card unless you are doing one of the offers that you know requires it.
Cash Crate really does work thanks.
I just deleted a couple of comments by mistake. Sorry about that. I get so much spam that sometimes I goof up and delete the real comments.
One of them asked about using real or fake addresses. You should always use your real address or you will get your account deleted. You can set up a second email though, just to use for CashCrate.
Most other questions can probably be answered in the tutorial they have or somewhere in the forum threads. Just look around before you start and you should be able to get the answer to most questions.
I just started cashcrate and I have been using a false address. Should I use a real address or will they mail-spam me if I do? I know that many offers ask for an address.
Jeff,
I just answered that in the comment above. You have to use your real address because if you don’t it is against Cash Crate’s terms and your account can be deleted.
hey as far as filling the “free registration and a survey” offers go, after filling out the form do i have to sign up for an offer for my money to be credited?? or can I just close the windpow after i fill out the form? I’m a newbie soo i need a little advise. HELP! Oh and BTW Crashcrate is awesome! I think im gonna go around telling everyone about it.
Jess,
You need to find the small box at the bottom of the page that says “Skip” and click it. That will take you by all the offers they really want you to sign up for but you don’t have to.
I always suggest to read the threads in the forum as there is tons of help there and the answer to most questions
Holy crap you really make a lot, wow! Keep it up!
i would like to ask you if i have a US cash crate account can i have my check shipped to an address in the Philippines?
because if i create an international account the offers take forever to get validated and i can only do 2 offers. i have to wait until the first 2 get credited. so if i make a US cash crate account can i have it mailed to an address here in the Philippines?
thank you
any help would be much appreciated.
Jeremy,
No, I don’t think you can do that. You have to use your real address and any “US account” you would make would not have your true address. It is unfortunate but CashCrate is best for people who live in the US. However, if you can refer people who live in the US you will be able to make money that way.
Someone was email me to tell something about CashCrate, than we found complete info about it here. Good review, and thanks.
i started cash crate last night so far ive made 192.25 which is in the section pendings earrning will they still send the check to me if its not in the section june’s earrning?
Please go to the CashCrate forum and read the thread on pending earnings
Cashcrate is the #1 gpt website! It is awesome! I love this site!
I tried Cashcrate some time last year and in about 6 months i made $40.00. For me that is just gas money for about 4 days. I tried the referral but i only got 1 referral and i posted all over the internet and i never got anything. so idk…im thinking about trying this again.
Cashcrate is the best survey site hands down. They have high paying free and trial offers, as well as the best referral program.
well thnks for recommending a easy way to get money with little efforts i will try this out and look if i can make some money out of it. :-)
nice checks, i use this site too and i earned alot as well
Great info! I too use cashcrate to earn some extra spending cash. But my paychecks are not nearly as high as yours, I have some work to do!
Hi…I live in India.Will cashcrate work for me ?
If you live in India, there will be very few surveys or offers for you. That holds for almost all countries other than the US. HOWEVER, you can refer people from the US and get full credit for that. There are many people from around the world that make good money by through the referral system.
Hello,
Do i have to pay tax at the year end for the money i earned through Cashcrate?
What if i send the check to my parents in india and ask them to deposit there. Does it work?
Thanks.
I can’t give tax advice here. If you make less than $600 you are probably alright though.
This is actually the page that got me started on cashcrate lol. I’m expecting my first check sometime next week. Hope you’re enjoying the commission you made off my $20 (Nov. 29-30) lol! made the minimum just in time for payout :P
Chance,
I just sent you a message through CashCrate that will help you get some referrals with your blog.
You have the highest dollar amount of any CashCrate check I’ve seen. Great blog too, I really like the favicon and banner.
