"Welcome to CashCrate! We have Task for you!"
I know what your thinking, "What is CashCrate"? Cash Crate is one of many Survey Sites on the amazing internet that task you jobs in exchange for small amounts of money, very much like SwagBucks.com and PrizeRebel.com. (if you're familiar with them).
Cash Crate also has a one of the friendliest online community and forum of any survey site that I've personally seen. Main reason, everyone is there for one specific goal, to make some money and they don't mind helping others along the way at the same time either.
What Do I need
To start a CashCrate account, All you need is a:
- Valid Email Address
- Use of your real name
- A Phyiscal Mailing Address
"Whoa there! my Email Address?"
Yes. In order to sign up for an account, you'll need a valid email address. My suggestion is to set up a 2nd email (or 3rd or 4th, depending how many you already have) specifically for Cash Crate. So, as an example, JohnEgbert_CrashCrate@Live.com . Whatever works for you.
"Ok. That is fine I guess, but why my real name?? I want to be anonymous."
Understandable, but in order for you to get paid via crash crate's payment system (which is by mailing you a physical check), your real name is a necessity.
"Wait? Mailing me a check? Is that why I need to give them my address?"
Yup! In order for CashCrate to pay you, you'll need to give them an address for mailing out your check to. Also, depending on your standing with the website, could either be by the 1st or the 15th of every month.

Where do I start?
The most easiest way to start is actually signing up right here!
The Pay
CashCrate offers many avenues of about obtaining and making money. Payments or Checks, as mentioned earlier, are sent out monthly either on the 1st or the 15th. These dates depend on what level you are on the website. Direct deposit, if you have you're own bank account, becomes available to you once you reach a certain pinnacle on the website. This pinnacle is easily measured by the amount of which you've earned on the website.
Cash Outs / Payments do have a minual requirement, which is a easy (yes, its quite easy) $20. If you're a hardballer and wish to set your self up with a higher payment goal, you can edit it to whatever your heart desires. For me, I like to set mine at $25.
- *Offers
- The Offers tab hosts the about 1/5 of what CashCrate has to office (in my opinion). Most of the offers are divided between paying into and just signing up with an offer (for free). Also, on top of doing and completing offers, you'll receive points that you can redeem for a large arrangement of gift cards or if you feel lucky, playing games to win a chance to earn even more!
- *Surveys
- The Offers Tab hosts the basic surveys that you can almost do on a daily basis (once 24 hours on each survey)
- *Top Surveys
- The Top Surveys tab hosts more advanced surveys that are sometimes hit and miss as they are looking for specific individuals to complete said surveys.
- *Referrals
- The Referrals tab gives you options on how you can make the most of Cash Crate, by getting referrals. Referrals, are a good primary source of obtaining sustainable and constant profit with cash crate because each task and offer your referrals do, you also get a share of their earnings as well (no you ain't stealing what they make!)
- *Bonus Surveys
- The Bonus Surveys Tab has a mix of offers and surveys that you can do for some extra cash.
- *Bonus Offers
- The Bonus Offers Tab, just like the normal Offers Tab, shows additional options for garnishing extra cash flow. However, just like many of the normal Offers, there are many offers in this tab that will require you to pay some amount to get something back in return. Sometimes its equal to what you pay and sometimes its more to what you paid.
- *Cash Tasks
- The Cash Tasks tab loads up a third party (CrowdFlower) money making website (that works with cashcrate). These cash tasks require you to perform internet tasks such as doing website research to making sure a company website has its hours listed. Signing up for a CrowdFlower account is most likely going to be a requirement for most of the jobs in this tab. So keep that in mind.
Conclusion
In conclusion. I like cashcrate. They have a easy going community of cash craters and an amazing Admin Mod Staff. I've been a member with them since 2010(?) and have always found my self always going back after trying other money making websites. Plus, its a fun pass time with friends if you want to make it. Nothing makes friend challenges more eventful on CashCrate!
