Cashcrate.com - A review
Posted on: August 8th, 2007CashCrate is one of the leading PTS (paid to sign up)/PTT (paid to try). Unlike most in this industry, these guys have spent some time making the site look clean and user friendly. Two thumbs up for making an effort.
CashCrate takes it one step further than good layout, they make it easy to see what offers are available to you. For example, I live in Australia so very few offers are available, usually PTS (paid to sign up) sites have a disclaimer above each offer saying “This offer is only available to US and Canadian residents”. This is fine, but when there are literally thousands of offers it’s a pain in the neck to sort through them all. CashCrate only shows offers which are available to your geographical region.
If you don’t live in the US or Canada you aren’t going to be rolling in the money from CashCrate. But they have a generous referral program that pays 20% for first level referrals and 10% for second level . This also scales up - so the more referrals you have the larger cut you get. Here is the break down:
Bronze - 0 Active Referrals - 20% First Level, 10% Second Level
Silver - 50 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 10% Second Level
Gold - 150 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 15% Second Level
Platinum - 300 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 15% Second Level
Elite - 500 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 20% Second Level
These active referrals must be from the U.S and they don’t post the activity requirements.
I know what you’re asking yourself. “That’s nice and all, but how much can I expect to make?”
As per usual that depends on how much time you are willing to put in and more importantly if you have a credit card. All the deals which need a credit card pay significantly more ($15+). Most of my US friends with credit cards have reported making an easy $100+ in their first month then it slowing down to $10 or so per month. But it really depends on how active you and your referrals are. More importantly, it matters how active you are in getting referrals.
Even if you don’t have a credit card, you can still make some serious coin by completing surveys and trial offers which don’t require a CC. If you aren’t already part of the PTS (paid to sign up)/PTT (paid to try) community, then CashCrate is the place to start.
