Cash Crate

First off, Cash Crate is NOT a paid survey site! They are primarily a site to get paid for completing offers.

Reward System: Cash (check)

Minimum Payout: $10, automatically sent if you make at least that in a month

Frequency/Length of surveys: Can attempt to complete 2 daily surveys

Summary: Cash Crate is not a paid survey site, though they do offer paid surveys. You can take two surveys per day, at $0.80 each. I don't often qualify. The way most Cash Crate users make money is completing trial or online offers- this can include signing up for email lists and signing up for trial offers (Netflix, magazines). You must be very careful when completing these offers, because they are not owned by Cash Crate- the vast majority of the offers' sites say in their privacy policy that they WILL sell your contact information for marketing. Some offers also require your credit card number. Of course, if you don' t mind getting lots of spam, telemarketers, and junk mail, you can make a lot of money. However, there are a few offers on there that are safe (for example- sign up for a Home Depot email list for $0.60). Generally, people cancel their trial or email sign up after their account is credited- but if you want a Netflix subscription, you can get paid for starting it through Cash Crate. They also offer cash back from shopping through their site (5% back on iTunes purchases), but they don't have as many stores as Memolink or Inbox Dollars- but Cash Crate has higher cash back %s than those other sites!

During my first month as a member I completed all the offers I felt comfortable completing, and made $15. Now, I'm slowly accumulating $ by doing the daily surveys and shopping through Cash Crate. They send checks on the 15th of the month after you earn over $10.

Recommendation: If, like me, you are worried about people selling your information, you won't make much money here. But you can make some! Cash Crate
