Cashcrate is a website which pays you to complete offers, such as joining free websites, complete surveys and try out certain products.
Some info from their FAQ:
CashCrate REVIEWI’m skeptical, this sounds like a scam?
We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you’re asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!How much can I make?How much you can make is dependent on a few things such as what country you’re from and how much time you’re willing to devote to making money. As it is, most members have the opportunity to make more than a thousand dollars!When do I get paid?
Users who meet our minimum payout (only $5!) have their payments processed by the 20th of the following month So, if you earn $250 in June, you’ll get paid in mid-July.
Cashcrate is a very country-specific website. After browsing through their forums and signing up myself to check it out, I realized that like Cashcrate has the most offers for U.S residents and therefore works best for them. However, they have also been known to offer a wide variety of offers for Canadian users.
Do not that the offers are noticeably lesser for countries outside of Europe or North America, because advertisers usually do not target consumers who are in other regions.
The offers themselves range from your usual video subscriptions to other free trials which allow you to get a higher return if you own a credit card.

Cashcrate is relatively easy to use. All you need to do is to complete offers and then click on a ‘Submit’ button in a banner that opens up at the top of your page. Offers usually take a few days to be approved.
Another thing to note.. they pay only by Check or Amazon Gift Cards and other pre-paid Visa-based methods which I didn’t bother to explore in detail. Their payment method is fairly simple: No Paypal or egold or moneybookers are allowed.
I did find the offers to be a little repetitive and some of them followed the same formulae.. complete this offer, refer a friend and get either an iPod, laptop of Xbox 260. Other offers included surveys and other free websites that only require you to plug in your email address.
Their referral system, however is very attractive. Even if you’re not in the U.S, you’ll be allowed to make money by referring active users to Cashcrate. You’ll get $1 bonus whenever a new user you referred in the U.S completes an offer, which is rather nice.
Cashcrate will pay ou get 20% for first level referrals and 10% for 2nd level referrals. The amount of percentage you earn will depend on how many members you refer. The more members you refer, the higher your overall referral percentage will be.
Conclusion:
Cashcrate isn’t a scam, although it might seem like one at first glance. I would suggest spending some time in their forums, if you want to learn more about their program. This particular section of their forum offers payment proofs and testimonials so it’ll be great place to start.
If you’re not in the U.S but are willing to work hard at getting referrals, you can start bysigning up with Cashcrate. The returns are justified because you won’t be doing anything at all. It’s very much a passive process. Refer some users based in the U.S and they’ll do all the work for you, while you take a cut of their earnings. Attractive isn’t it?
Update - 11th December: Cashcrate pays! Got my first check for US $5.28 this morning. A small amount but agreeable because I practically spent less than five minutes completing offers. Most of it came from referrals (Thanks y’all!)More checks are incoming, but I thought I’ll just put this one up first.
