The CashCrate Blog

In honor of CashCrate’s fourth birthday, we’re holding a big giveaway as a thank you to all of our members who have made our program so great. Over the last four years, we’ve paid out millions of dollars to nearly two million users. We’re honored to be a part of so many lives, and take great pleasure in helping our members earn a few extra bucks. And so, without further ado, here are the details for our March Giveaway:

Referral Bonuses

One of the features users most appreciate about CashCrate is our referral program. To those users earnings tens, hundreds, or even thousands of dollars a month by referring new members to CashCrate, we’re saying thanks by handing out bonuses for active referrals in the month of March.

For Bronze Members (less than 50 active referrals) - We’ll send you a free $10 Amazon Gift Card when you refer 10 active members or more over the month of March!

For Silver+ Members (50+ active referrals) - On top of the free $10 Amazon Gift Card, you’ll also see your normal $1.00 bonus jump to $1.25 when you refer 25 active members in March. And when you refer 100 or more new active members, your bonuses will be increased to $1.50!

These bonuses will last for the entire month and will apply to all of your referrals for the month, regardless of when you reach the increased bonus levels. So, even if you reach the $1.50 bonus level on the last day of the month, we’ll give you $1.50 for all of your referrals in March.

Daily Raffles

In addition to the referral bonuses, we’ll also be giving away $10 Amazon Gift Cards all day, every day. Raffles will be held four times a day at 9 AM, 2 PM, 7 PM, and 11 PM EST. To gain entries into the raffles, just complete offers as you normally would. Every offer you complete acts as an entry into the raffles for that day and will stay alive until your name is drawn or the day ends. Winners will be announced on the contests page, on the forums, and will be notified in their Members Area.

Let’s make it a great month! Be sure to check out the contest leaderboard to see how you’re doing and head to the forums if you have any questions.

CashCrate literally sends out thousands of checks a month to it’s members, and now we’ve added an easy way for our users to brag about their payments: CashCrate’s Payment Wall. We’ve been sending payments out like clockwork every month for the past four years, and our payment wall is a new place where our users can post pictures of the payments and prizes they receive from CashCrate. If you’re a member and have received a payment already, you can post it on our wall and receive 20 bonus points. Plus, we make it easy for members to share their payments with their friends so you can get more referrals. Check it out!

CashCrate is holding a special Valentine’s Day contest! We’re showing our love by rewarding 25 lucky individuals with extra cash bonuses at the end of the month. Prizes will be awarded to the 25 users who complete the most offers and daily surveys for the remainder of February. We’ve added over 20 offers over the last few days and plan to add many more in the days to come, so you’ve got some work to do! Remember, you can find our daily surveys in the ‘Research Surveys’ section of the Member’s Area, where you can complete two new surveys every day.

Check your standings on the Contest Leaderboard, and be sure to head over to the Forums if you have any questions.

Happy New Years! Make some extra cash this January by participating in our referral contest.

The Official “I Got Paid” Thread

Our most popular thread on the forums–and also one of the oldest. Every month we send out thousands of payments to our members, and many of those users come to this thread and post when they receive a payment. This is a great link to share with your potential referrals to prove to them that our program is legit.

After the tremendous success of last year’s holiday contest, we have decided to do it again. Thousands of dollars in prizes will be awarded to the top 50 users who earn the most “Crates”. Check out the contests page for information on earning Crates, prizes as well as checking where you currently stand!

We are very excited to announce the launch of CashCrate Games. We have 12 skill based games which are running both daily and weekly tournaments. The daily tournament costs 2 points per entry and the weekly tournament is a 1 point entry fee. You can play the games as many times as you wish and the points are distributed to the top 5 users at the conclusion of the contest.

Check out the games now and start competing to win big prizes!

Our contest this month will reward the top ten individuals who earn the most money from offers and daily surveys.  All you have to do is be one of the top ten earners, and you’re guaranteed at least a $25.00 bonus! Check out the contests page for all the details.

We’re adding Direct Deposit as a new payment method that will be available to Silver+ members starting on Monday. This is a great way to get paid faster–rather than waiting for a check to arrive, you can choose to have your CashCrate payment deposited directly into your bank account!

Starting on Monday, all US members with a referral level of Silver and higher will be able to select the new payment method under ‘My Account’. Simply enter your Direct Deposit information through our secure server and your payment will be processed this way automatically starting in August. This includes earnings for July, so you’ll have about one week to make sure your information is entered and up-to-date. Enjoy!
