Cashcrate is a site where you simply complete free offers and surveys that actually earn YOU money without spending a dime!! After you sign up you will come to a screen that looks like this:
Click on the "Members Area" link to get started.
You might see a paragraph on the page that talks about a "short tutorial" I advise you to do it, this guide is just for further help and for extra tips.
If you scroll farther down, you'll see a table which has three tabs on the top:
Cash Offers: These are your money makers! There are several different types of cash offers. Register for free, Participate in the survey, Complete the form; you'll get the idea.
Points Offers: These are surveys and offers that will earn you POINTS. Points can buy you gift cards and merchandise in the Prize Shop on the site. You can also use your points to play games for even more cash! (You earn 1 point for every one dollar you earn by completing free offers, NOT referrals.)
Daily Survey: This is 2 surveys and one bonus survey that is worth .80 cents each. You are allowed to do all three once everyday! However, You must qualify for the survey first to complete it. Designate ONE email address (unlike for cash offers) to complete the daily surveys, or else you will not be eligible for them anymore.
Further down you will see this:
After clicking on the sponser and completing the survey or free offer, dont forget to press SUBMIT when youre done! Your completed offer will pend until the sponser basically tells Cashcrate youve done the survey.
To see your pending offers click on the link "Pending Offers" on this table on the Members Area page shown below.
The offer can pend from a few minutes to days. If your offer is pending for more than a couple days, most likely it is not going to go through.You can try removing it and doing it again by clicking on Pending Offers, and pressing the remove button.
You can see your completed offers as well. When offers are approved, Cashcrate will send you an email.
Completing an Offer
Click on any offer from the table. A new window will pop up and may look something like this:
It will ask you to enter your email address and verify if you are 18+ years or older. I advise to make a few alternate email addresses so your main email (the one you signed up for cashcrate with) doesn't get emails spam from the surveyors. I suggest using GMAIL. After you do that, click the continue button. You will come to a page that will request a little more information from you which may look like this:
Fill out the form with valid information. Although they do ask for your number you can give them an old cellphone number, or sign up with Grand Central (a free online voicemail number)so you do not receive calls. If you do decide to use your home telephone number and they DO end up calling you, just inform them you would like to be added to their "do not call" list and they will not bother you again.
Usually you'll come to a page that has "offers" on it where it will have a list of yes and nos. Feel free to click NO for every offer. If it tells you that you must click yes for atleast one offer, click yes on a random offer, then on the next page it will give you an option to SKIP which is usually located below the offer.
Once you get to the end, you'll get to a page that says "Congratulations, you are now eligible to receive so and so.." Then further down it says you must sign up for a certain amount of offers to receive your gift. Once you get to this point, you can close the window and submit your offer from the CashCrate table shown below:
Remember- this isnt a GET RICH QUICK SCHEME! However, it is possible to pay off bills or having extra gas money just by doing this for less than a hour a day! It's so nice to get a check every month when it is most needed. Good luck!
