			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, seriously. It might be hard to believe, but we&#8217;re actually giving away free gas cards&#8211;no strings attached.  Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<p>Any member who earns $100 or more in a 90 day period will get a certificate, courtesy of CashCrate.com, that entitles them to $250 in free gas cards. After you get your certificate, just keep your gas station receipts and send them into the redemption center when they total $100 or more in a given month.</p>
<p>Then, campout by the mailbox, because your free $25 gas card will arrive within a few weeks. The gas cards work like a credit card and are redeemable at your favorite gas station for fuel or goodies inside. You can do the same thing every month for ten months and keep collecting your gas cards, for a total of $250 in free gas!</p>
<p>With gas prices being what they are, who couldn&#8217;t use the extra help? Most of us spend more than $100 at the pump each month without breaking a sweat, may as well collect on the free gas while you can.</p>
<p>All you have to do is earn $100 or more on CashCrate in any 90 day period, and your certificate will automatically be awarded to you. Between offers, daily surveys, and referral earnings, this should be a piece of cake. Take advantage of this promotion now, because it definitely won&#8217;t last forever!</p>
<p>UPDATE: For clarification, since this is a new promotion, the 90 day period for earning $100 starts today, and past earnings do not count. That way it&#8217;s fair to everyone (since we only have so many of these things).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We wanted to add a couple clarifications regarding <a href="http://blog.cashcrate.com/2008/05/15/early-payments-for-elite-members/">this post</a> 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&#8217;d love to offer early payments to everyone, but unfortunately there has to be some delay for most users.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s taken place, whether it be credit card fraud, using false information, or any other form of fraud.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>That said, we&#8217;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).</p>
<p>Starting next month, we&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;re on and what you need to do to move up, see the &#8220;Referral Info&#8221; page in the members area.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Not sure where you stand? Check the &#8220;Referral Info&#8221; page to see what your current rank is, and what&#8217;s up next for you.</p>
