A Pot O’ Gold VS. A Crate O’ Cash
Anyone catch a little green guy last month? We set leprechaun traps through the end of March, but those sneaky little pranksters eluded us each time. Our seven-year old is a little disappointed at having to wait an entire year for another chance at nabbing that just-beyond-his-grasp pot o’ gold. If you’ve found yourself in the same position, rest assured…a within-your-reach crate of cash can be much more rewarding (no traps are required!).
I should clarify something up front: the crate is only as big as you make it. It doesn’t magically fill itself without effort, but in ten minutes a day, you could easily earn an extra $300 per month…every month.
There are two different ways to fill your crate:
A.) Complete offers (most are free, and you can choose only those you’re interested in). Some of the offers are simple registrations with other survey sites, but there’s a huge variety of topics. To be honest, some are simply not worth the hassle, but CashCrate is nice enough to let you choose those you’d like to complete, and you can simply ignore those that don’t interest you.
B.) Refer other family and friends. CashCrate’s referral program pays between 10% and 25% for everything your referrals (and your referrals’ referrals) earn each month. Beyond that, there are also regular bonuses and contests, including a bonus deposit into your account for each new referral who completes their first offer.
A couple of notes about CashCrate:
- CashCrate is able to ’share the wealth’ because they’re paid by the sponsors of the offers, and of their sponsor payments, 75% goes to those who complete offers.
- Create (if you don’t already have one), and use, a separate email address when completing offers (unless you enjoy sifting through a lot of extra emails).
- Carefully read the terms of service for each offer. Don’t complete an offer that places cookies on your computer or signs you up for a free trial-period only, without knowing exactly what you’re getting into.
- Log in to your CashCrate account as often as you like, and complete as many offers as you like. Each offer lists the amount of money required to participate (no problem with choosing only those that are free), as well as the amount of money you’ll earn. (A friend of mine spends an hour a day at CashCrate, completing offers that average $30 in total, and she earns an extra $900-$1000 each month - not bad for an hour a day.)
- As soon as an offer is completed, you’ll see your earnings listed at the top of your page. By the 20th day of each month, CashCrate will send you a check for everything you earned in the previous month (as long as you earned at least $10…if you didn’t, they’ll just hold until the next month and add it to the next month’s earnings).
To start filling your crate with cash, follow the steps below:
1.) Click HERE to register with CashCrate.
2.) In the Join for Free box, fill out your name and login information, then click Join Now.
3.) From the Complete Offers page, peruse the offers, and select one to complete. (An example might be signing up with the Zoom Panel survey site.) Once you’ve completed the offer, click the Submit button for the offer you completed, and your earnings will be automatically displayed at the top of the page. Repeat as often as you like.
4.) Once you’ve completed your first offer, you can refer your family and friends to sign up with CashCrate and receive a percentage of the earnings from offers they complete.
Do many of the offers require a credit card? I don’t feel safe to give them that information.
Most of the offers are actually free and require no credit card. Those that do require a credit card will indicate so on the main page, so you can simply avoid those, if you prefer.
Have you recieved any of direct mail or phone calls when doing these survey’s?
Most of the survey’s I am finding take a LONG time and pay $1 or less. So your friend gets paid $30 for free survey’s a piece or she pays $30 to get a larger payout per survey?
Most of the free surveys pay no more than the free registrations, and the registrations are much shorter. From your Offers page, try selecting some of the offers that read “Fill out the form” or “Register for free”.
A couple of other options, in addition to the cash offers:
1.) Points Offers also list additional free registrations in exchange for points which can be redeemed for prizes.
2.) Daily Surveys are worth $0.80 each.
(Both of the above are separate tabs located in the middle of the Offers page.)
Hi there! I’ve never commented before, but you are one of the first websites that I stumbled upon about 6 weeks ago when I first learned about “CVSing”
I signed up for this and am up to $8 in 2 days/10 minutes.
Question: most of those “register for free” ones: once you give them your info, they take you to page after page of offers/ads. Do you have to click through all of those offers/ads in order to get the money, or can you just navigate away once you give them your signup info?
And I second the other person’s question: have you had an increase in telemarketers as a result of this? Spam email in a separate email account I can handle….my phone ringing off the hook would annoy me.
Thanks!
I was wonder the same thing too. If you have to look at all the ads. Does anyone know?

I signed up for this as well thinking that it would be a neat way after the kids have gone to bed to make a little extra $$. Well, I responded to a few and after filling out the basic name, address, ect…. I was sent to page after page of offers and ads that said you had to choose at least 1 and most of them were for trial offers of a product and you had to pay a monthly fee or make sure you call or write to cancel. There were none that just required filling a survey. I did finally find one that sent info on online degrees, but then the next page told me I had to select 2 or three more and these required a purchase. Perhaps I am not understanding the concept? I thought this was fill out a questionaire/survey and then receive the amount of money listed on the 1st page. Thanks for your help!
