Payout Given: Check Only, Gift Card Bonuses
Minimum Payout: $20
Referrals?: Yes, Two Levels
The Easy Lowdown:
- Check-In Button: $0.03 a day, $0.50 monthly bonus = $16.95 /year
- AdGenesis Videos: Up to five videos a day, average $0.02 a video = $36.50 /year
- CashCrate has been around since February of 2006 and have a consistent payment record.
- They have a forum to discuss payments and offers that frequently credit, amongst other things.
- They have a blog that informs members of updates and other special events.
- To my knowledge, they have no country restrictions but English speaking countries will have more offers.
- Once you reach the minimum payment, it will process on the 20th and won't be sent out until the following month. So if you reach $20 on the 21st of the month, be prepared to wait two months to receive the check.
How To Earn $ (Easy Way):
The Check In Button is a guaranteed easy way to earn a few cents in seconds. Every day, you can click the button to earn 3 cents. If you check in every day in a month, you will get a bonus of 50 cents. If you check it every day of the year, you will earn an extra $16.95 for something that only takes a couple seconds a day. The Check-In Button is instantly credited to your account.
CashCrate
also has AdGenesis Videos you can watch. Although
the videos take more time to do, they are a guaranteed payout which is
why I do them. Each video ranges from 2 cents to 4 cents per video, with
the majority being worth 2 cents. At most per day you can get is five
videos, some days you might not get any. In order to get credited for
watching the video, two numbers will randomly scroll across the screen
during the video. At the end of the video, you will need to enter the
two numbers, in any order, to get paid. If you mess up, don't worry, you
can watch the video as many times as you want to get it right. Some
videos also enter you into sweepstakes for various prizes. The videos
are instantly credited to your account.How To Earn Points (Easy Way):
CashCrate has a prize shop for which you can redeem points earned for gift cards. You can get gift cards from Amazon, Best Buy, Macys, Walmart and many more. You earn points by completing offers, for every dollar you make from offers, you earn a point. You do NOT earn points for bonus activity (which includes the Check-In Button and watching AdGenesis Videos).
How To Earn $ (Hard Way):
CashCrate is a true GPT site. They list many different offers for you to try and earn. Some are simple, such as subscribing to an email newsletter where you need to confirm your email. Some are not simple and require you to go through several steps. Most free payouts range from $0.25 to $1.00. Some can be worth much higher but also require a financial commintment from you, such as applying for a credit card. Below is a sample screenshot of some offers. Be aware that some offers might not credit and that can be frustrating. It is one of the reasons I rarely do offers, especially since they are more time consuming. They are the fastest way to earn with CashCrate though.
CashCrate also has surveys that you can take. Surveys are more time consuming and can only be done once a day, but they have several you can take. I do not partake in surveys because of how long they take, but also the fact that even after you've spent time answering questions you might not "qualify" to finish the survey and be credited.
Another way to earn is to shop through their links and CashCrate pays you a percentage back. The percentage ranges depending on each site, but if you plan on buying from those websites, why not get some cash back. Some sites offered are iTunes, Foot Locker, Microsoft Store, Tiger Direct and Walmart. Be aware that if you buy through CashCrate, it does not credit immediately and can take awhile for it to reflect in your account. I've read that Walmart is notoriously slow to credit.
