We wanted to add a couple clarifications regarding this post about early payments for Elite members. We understand that getting paid as soon as possible at the end of the month is a big priority for our users, and we’d love to offer early payments to everyone, but unfortunately there has to be some delay for most users.

That period of 15 days between the end of the month and when payments go out serves as buffer for our advertisers to notify us of any fraudulent activity that’s taken place, whether it be credit card fraud, using false information, or any other form of fraud.

Sending all payments out early would prevent us from taking care of those issues, which would ultimately hurt our advertisers and, in turn, hurt our site and our users.

That said, we’re confident in issuing early payments to our members who have been with us for a while and who have large downlines, because fraud is not an issue with these users (doing anything shady would risk their downlines, and these people have always been good members).

Starting next month, we’ve decided to extend the early payments to all users who are at the Silver level or higher, which means you have 50 active referrals or more. Since we don’t see fraud amongst these users either, we can ensure that the maximum number of our users receive payments as soon as possible without compromising the integrity of our fraud prevention and hurting relationships with advertisers.

This should be a nice extra incentive to start referring your friends, in addition to the increase in commissions you already receive! For more information about what level you’re on and what you need to do to move up, see the “Referral Info” page in the members area.

We’re happy to announce an additional perk for all of our Elite members–early payments! All payments were previously sent out around the 15th, but starting this month, all Elite members will have their payments processed on the 1st of every month instead.

We can only offer this as an incentive to our Elite members at this time, but consider it extra motivation for those of you close to reaching the Elite rank. All other members will have their payments processed as usual.

Not sure where you stand? Check the “Referral Info” page to see what your current rank is, and what’s up next for you.

For the month of May we have only one contest, but we will be awarding the 15 users who refer the most members who complete atleast one offer.

Prizes will be awarded as follows:

1st - $175.00
2nd - $150.00
3rd - $125.00
4th - $100.00
5th - $75.00
6th - $50.00
7th - $25.00
8th - $15.00
9th - $15.00
10th - $15.00
11th - $10.00
12th - $10.00
13th - $10.00
14th - $10.00
15th - $10.00

You can check the frequently updated standings over at the contest leaderboard and discuss the contest at the CashCrate Forum.

Good luck everyone!

We are excited to announce another big contest for the month of April, this one including a Nintendo Wii!

The offers contest is a little different this month, as it will be based on the number of offers you do, rather than their total value. This includes both cash offers, points offers as well as daily surveys.

Completions Contest

1st - Nintendo Wii
2nd - $100
3rd - $75
4th - $50
5th - $25
6th - $10
7th - $10
8th - $10
9th - $10
10th - $10

Most new referrals who complete at least one offer:

1st - $150
2nd - $100
3rd - $50
4th - $25
5th - $10

Ties for the completions contest will be settled as follows: a) total value of the cash offers; b) total value of the points offers; c) random drawing.

Be sure to check the Contest Leadboard regularly to see how you’re doing. You can also discuss the contest over at the forum.

Good luck everyone!

Just a quick heads-up to everyone, we sent payments early this month to make up for the delay last month. All of the checks should hit the mailbox within the next few days, so keep your eyes open for your check!

Let us introduce you to a great new feature. The Contest Leaderboard, linked here, is our new automatic way of keeping members up-to-date regarding current contests. It’s available in the Members Area under “Contests” and will tell you all the juicy details on what you need to do to get your hands on some of the cash and prizes we’re giving away.

You’ll also be able to tell how you rank compared to other users, so you can tell how much extra work is needed to win. Cash prizes are automatically credited to the winning accounts at the end of the contest, and prizes are shipped soon after.

So, head over to the Leaderboard and see what we’ve got going on for March!

We decided we were due for a central place where we could keep our members up to speed on what’s happening at CashCrate. Watch this blog for information regarding new offers, monthly contests, site updates, and much more.
