Cash Crate has an offer section where you can earn points for completing trial offers. The points system allows you to exchange these points for gift, merchandise, and shopping cards at national merchants like best Buy, Staples, Target, and Walmart.

Just completing two of these trial offers will earn you enough points for a $25 merchandise card at Walmart.

These points offers are separate from the cash paying offers. So you have two ways to benefit from Cash Crate: offers and surveys you are paid directly for and points offers  that you can exchange for gift cards.

Get on over to Cash Crate and complete some offers to make some money!

Cash Crate not only pays for actions you take, but will also pay you for active referrals. So far this month around 10% of my earnings there are from referrals. Here’s how it works:

You start at Bronze level. You’ll receive 20% of your active referrals’ earnings. You’ll also receive 10% of their active referrals’ earnings! And you also receive a $3.00 bonus for each referral who meets the $10 minimum payout.

When you get 50 active referrals under you it gets even better, because now you make 25% on your first level referrals.

It’s easy to get a referral link at Cash Crate. Just login and go to the “referral info” page. Scroll down the page and you’ll see your own personal affiliate link. Distribute this to others (don’t spam!) and watch your earnings go up.

You can put your Cash Crate referral link in your email signature, forum signatures, in blog comments you leave, and at your own blog or website, to name just a few of the ways to use your referral link to make more money at Cash Crate.

Working Cash Crate or any other bona fide “Get Paid To”program, you’ll need a few disposable email addresses. You need to register your main email address with Cash Crate so you receive payment notice updates. I also have a Hotmail address I use when necessary.

But, let’s face it, you don’t want to get all the email you’ll receive by filling out surveys and offers, even in your Hotmail, Yahoo, or GMail account. So get a disposable email address.

In the last post I told you about 2prong. Here’s another source, called 10 minute email address. I suggest you use this when you know an offer you’re completing requires a quick confirmation to get paid. The email address is only god for ten minutes, so use this one accordingly.

Now get over to Cash Crate and make some money without filling up your email inbox.

To get the most from your Cash Crate earnings, in addition to clearing your cookies, use a  one time throw away email address. Here’s where you can get one :

2prong gives you an easy way to get an email address for each separate Cash Crate offer that you submit. Email urls are changed at least weekly, so it is unlikely that the email address will be banned by the “get paid” offerors.

You can  get more tips for working Cash Crate from Amy Bass’s excellent My Debt Free Goal site. Reading her posts on the Warrior forum motivated me to get into Cash Crate and start making some real money there.

One of the things I like about Cash Crate is their “open” mentality. How many survey or paid offer sites do you know of that allow their users to participate in a forum? You’ll see how others are using Cash Crate successfully and what kind of money they are making.

After you join Cash Crate, checking into the forum will allow you to see what offers are showing as completed offers right away. Those are the ones you don’t wait to get paid on!

You’ll also get to network with other Cash Craters and make some new online friends.  So get on over to Cash Crate, make some money, and participate in the forum.
