This site is for nothing, just to annoy people and thats it, is a scam, takes time for nothing, delete this site.
I've earned $1,500 extra cash in a few months on CashCrate, it helps fund my small online business and pays for other nice little extras in life. The site is easy to use and you can always ask for help on the CashCrate forum should you need to. I genuinely enjoy giving my opinion in surveys and do find it rewarding. But I most appreciate that I can earn extra money whenever I feel like it with no specified hours or demands/deadlines. When it comes to surveys - just take your time, be honest, do a good job (more than the bare minimum!) and the money will roll in, it's as simple as that. CashCrate is worthy of your trust and definitely legitimate, and you can come to depend on it. I also just find it a fun and cozy place to spend time.
I have mixed feelings about this site. I loved cashcrate at first but now it's a pain in the $#*!. While it is legitimate, most of the time you don't qualify even when you are half way through the survey or, they don't pay you at all. I completed surveys successfully and half of the time they didn't even pay me my cents. Like seriously? And the high paying surveys, the ones that pay in dollars, don't even pay you the amount they say. They will just give you a couple of cents and that's it. Like that's sneaky. I appreciate the small checks I receive, but I don't know if I can put up with the bullcrap anymore.
We are very happy you have received a number of payments from us over the years. We are very sorry for the frustration you are experiencing though.
It appears you contacted us via a support issue this week and we replied asking for more information, but have not heard back from you yet. The reply was sent to the email address on your CashCrate account. Please reply with the details requested and we’d be glad to see if we can help.
We do have some routed surveys where payout may vary and we do inform members before they start the survey: “This survey is routed. This means that if you do not qualify for this particular survey, you may be given the opportunity to take another survey from the same partner that you are more likely to qualify for. The payout of this survey may be different and will be determined by the length of the survey.
I understand, take me to the survey!”
We went ahead and removed these surveys from your account to help minimize that frustration and hope you decide to keep earning with us. Again, please reply to our support response and we’ll see what we can do. Thanks.
I have been a member of Cash Crate since July 2016 and i must say it is the best survey website that i have come across. They have lots of Survey opportunities, a nice referral program, great offers. I earn about $500- $600 per month just by completing surveys and i get weekly payment without fail. The support staff is are really good, very helpful. I would suggest Cash Crate to everyone who wants a little extra cash each month :) its a very good website :)
Hey there, just wanted to share a positive review about Cashcrate! Been a member now for a few years (signed up from http://realstat.info) and as of this posting, I have made $8000, 00 (US) just from Cashcrate!
I have been a member for almost 7 years now. I have made almost $16,000 all in the comfort of my home. I was skeptical at first but something to told me to stick with it. The wisest decision I ever made. Cashcrate is legitimate and pays you for your honest opinion. If i can do it you can also. I have not onlymade money but also earned fabulous prizes such as amazon gift cards, Color Hd tv and ipad its truly legitimate their holiday contest is nothing like I have never ever seen. Go ahead and give it a try.
Hey all,
I've been a CashCrate member since January of 2010. One of the great parts about the site -- then and now -- is the various ways to earn.
Interested in sharing your opinion? Do surveys on your own time.
Have a social following or a knack for SEO/marketing? Earn money with their great referral program. The CashCrate staff has always been helpful to me (special thanks to Dana) and I've always gotten paid on time.
Bottom line: I would recommend CashCrate to anyone looking to boost their income.
I have been in crashcrate for 5 years on and off because I would get sick of taking so many surveys and not being reward or other task but im finally back on and it seems to be ok it moves slow but im almost at getting my first reward
Glad to hear you were close to making your first payout when you made this post. :) Please feel free to contact us and we'll see what we can do to get you earning faster. Our bigger earners tend to complete surveys. Offers, etc. pretty regularly and they are making payout and more each and every month. We'd like to get you earning faster too! You are welcome to submit a support request on the CashCrate site: https://www.cashcrate.com/support
Thanks.
I am a good standing member who is extremely unhappy. I am trying to login. It is the captcha screen that has problems, not me. I click on the correct squares, and it still keeps giving me 25 more screens to click on the correct squares until it tells me to "try again later". This irritates me so much. Every day, I have to think to myself, will I be able to login or not.
We now have the ability to respond to concerns posted here. The captcha's are run by Google and have been added to our site as an additional security feature. We are sorry you had trouble logging in. Are you still experiencing login issues? If so, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the CashCrate site to submit a support request: https://www.cashcrate.com/contact
If you are seeing any messages when trying to log in, please include that as well. We've been able to troubleshoot and help the few other members who reported this issue to us. Thanks.
I signed up in 2011. To date I have never cashed out and I have earned $5.74. No way can anyone make even a little cash. There are so many other sites out there that care about the time you spend on their sites.
We now have the ability to respond to member concerns. We do care about all of our members and want them to be successful. One method that are bigger earners use: They complete surveys, offers, etc. consistently, trying one or a few every day. With this method, our members are making payout and more every month. Please reach out to us and we'd be glad to provide additional earnings tips. You can submit a request for support here: https://www.cashcrate.com/support Thanks.
It is possible to make some side cash.
It is also possible to waste tons of time because there are a lot of bad links.
Once one figures out which are the decent links, then it is an ok site.
Give it a try with this decent link.

Thank you for the comment. I reviewed your account and do see you are outside of the USA. I am also sorry you ran into some bad links. If this happens again, please submit a support request with the survey name/number and we'd be glad to take a look: https://www.cashcrate.com/support Unfortunately surveys (and offers too) can expire from time to time or reach their maximum cap.
I signed onto CashCrate to see if I could make a few bucks. I went thru filling out my info & proceeded to the survey list. Huge mistake! One after another said not eligible & bounces me to another survey, all wanting my information including phone number. After 4 hrs of this I quit & made a whopping $. 63! The next morning Im awakened at 8:55 am to a sales call offering me pain creme! I hung up & blocked the number. Didnt stop them, they called again from another number that was almost the same just the last 2 numbers were different. Blocked that one too! This happened a total of 5 times in one day! Huge mistake! What was supposed to help make some money turned into a nightmare! Avoid Cash Crate!
I am very sorry you were awakened by a sales call so early. Generally, surveys do not ask members for their phone numbers but cash offers may. They are looking for legitimate leads. Please feel free to contact us: https://www.cashcrate.com/support If you are still using our site, or would consider trying it again, we'd be glad to provide tips to help you earn more. I am also sorry you did not have a good initial experience on CashCrate and we'd be glad to try and make this right for you.
I have given survey for 40 minute. At the end of 40 minute survey completed and I got message that I am not qualified. Did not even get a penny for my effort. Felt like this is con site
We are very sorry this happened to you. Please contact us and we'll see what we can do to make it right for you: https://www.cashcrate.com/support

I've joined cashcrate 10 days ago and i've already got a 30$ balance, my plan is to make atleast a 100$ a month, ofcourse you won't get rich with it, but you do get some decent 'spending' money. I barely did any effort at all. There are some rules to follow though if you wanna make some cash on there. Firstly don't lose your time on surveys, they sucks and the pay isn't worth the time you've put in it, go for the 'offers' they pay way more, so basically you've got to create an account on certain websites, log in with your email and such (and yes, you do get spammed) but the trick is to create a separate email address for this that you won't use for anything else. Doing an offer literally takes 3mins and you get 1$ + for them. So it really does work, and very easy to earn cash on if you follow these rules above! Don't wait join cashcrate now and start making some cash: http://www.cashcrate.com/*******
They steal your information and resale it and you never make any substantial amount of money
We do not sell any of your account information to third parties. If you complete a cash offer and fill out your information though, you are agreeing to share that with the advertiser sponsoring that offer. If you have any additional concerns, please feel free to contact us: https://www.cashcrate.com/contact Thanks.
CashCrate is a great site I've made over 1000 dollars in little over 2 months sign up here http://www.cashcrate.com/******* for a 30% bonus
I have been a member of CashCrate since 2009. However, I have only received one check from them because I has been active on AmazonMechanicalTurk.com. As I said previously, CashCrate is a slow money maker. I am doing more research on CashCrate now that AmazonMechanicalTurk is giving me problems logging on and I made $21.02 but it took me quite some time to make that money to get received in a check the following month. I have been doing a lot of research on making money online and I have these website to research further: Swagbucks, Global Teat Market, Vindale, Columbia House, Amway, Prizerebel, cash lagoon and rewards1. I shall get to that million dollar mark one of these days with all of the patience I have researching online. I also write for several magazines but I haven't received payment yet.
I signed up to make money as advertised and five minutes later I received three sales calls
Cashcrate sends surveys that have to be "prescreened". If it were just entering demographic info I wouldn't mind but, a lot of the time, they're asking questions about products and habits that give good survey information and then they say they're sorry I don't match. Yesterday I spent 15 minutes looking at photos of cereals and answering questions just for them to say I don't qualify... why not... I gave a lot of good feedback. When I first signed up I was getting surveys that provided credit and it seemed hopeful... but, after the first couple of weeks it's just more and more of a bunch of prescreening surveys that I don't get credit for.
Well 3 months later from previous review and things have gotten much worse on cashcrate. Get no points, top surveys are gone and have not been replaced with anything like was advertised on their site. I feel like 3rd graders run this site. The pro tools will not work, cant upload proof of completions anymore. Pre-screen mini survey before i get a real one. The check in feature works for about half of the people. They constantly say they are working on this or that, with no time frame of any kind. The B. S. gets thicker everyday. I used to make 500$ a month at cashcrate, lucky if i clear 200$ now. Their whole business is based on your truthful answers, yet when you have a reasonable concern you will not get any sort of truthful answer from them at all. The same tired surveys, the same offers many years old. You dont get credit for a survey not their problem, they are not the providers. Funny they are the host provider. Be ready to babysit every click you do on here. Here is the new scam that they have going on now it is called CINT surveys. You click on one of their surveys for so called amount, and you get rerouted to a box that says that survey is no good, so we will send you to this new one. BUT the payout will not be the same as the original you clicked on. They will not tell you how much you will be paid, so actually you start on a survey that says it will pay 4.46 for 15 minutes, yet you wind up doing one for 30 minutes and get. 46. It is almost CRIMINAL.
Answer: Our bigger earners tend to complete surveys, offers, etc. consistently. Doing even a little bit each day can really add up. We have lots of great tips for earning more in the FAQ section of our forum ( https://forums.cashcrate.com/forums/frequently-asked-questions.14/).
