CashCrate (the GPT program) officially shut down on April 1, 2019, however their website was converted into a directory of ways to make money online. Note that when the GPT program portion of the website was shut down, members who had not reached the minimum cashout levels were unable to redeem their balances for a final payment. Cashcrate did not offer to issue a final payment for these balances.
The website in its current state primarily exists to earn referral commissions from users. Proper privacy policies and disclosures are missing from the website. We do not recommend using the Cashcrate website.
If you'd like to leave your comments or would like to discuss CashCrate, please do so on the SurveyPolice forum.
Cashcrate was a GPT (get-paid-to) website where you could earn cash for completing offers, doing tasks, and participating in online surveys.
How CashCrate Worked
Upon becoming a member and logging into Cashcrate, you would be presented with a variety of ways to start earning:
- Offers – complete offers and get paid to try new products and signup for free websites and services
- Surveys – give your opinions and earn cash for participating in research surveys
- Shopping - get cashback on the purchases you make at hundreds of different online retailers
- Games, contests, and more – interact with fellow Cashcraters, and earn prizes and points while you socialize and play games. Also get entries to win contests!
- Referring friends – Cashcrate offered a generous multi-tiered referral program. Earn 20% of what your referrals earn, and an additional 10% of what your referral’s referrals earn. These levels increased to 30% of your referral’s earnings and 20% of what their referrals made, if you recruited a large number of new members. Extra cash bonuses were also offered.
Payment and Rewards
As the name implied, Cashcrate awarded cash to its members. A $20 balance was required in order to request a check or a PayPal payment. Payments took around 3-4 weeks to receive. Cashcrate had a Payment Wall gallery where members could upload images of checks and PayPal payments to prove that they really have been paid.
Community Features
Cashcrate came to be in 2002 and had over 2 million members worldwide. Thousands of dollars’ worth of checks were issued monthly (you could view these in their 'Gallery' on their website).
As per the note in red above, Cashcrate discontinued their GPT program in April of 2019. The information pertaining to their GPT program and the reviews listed below are no longer current.

The last 18 months
June 25, 2018 by Crystal from United States
I have been working with CashCrate since January 2017. I do check in daily for the 3 cents and then 50 cents if you do it all month. Since I started the Live Sample surveys (runs through One Opinion?) use to be $1/survey and now are only 90 cents. I work hard to find my ten $1 and up surveys everyday. It appears a lot of the surveys pay less today than they did last year. I have always gotten paid with no issues. I was cashing out about $25 a month when I was doing the live sample. As for the list of surveys with high dollar amounts, it's hard to qualify...then you have to go back and find the correct link to get paid. It's a bit confusing. I keep hoping they will raise the rewards back up! For now, I'll give it a 4/5 stars, however if they don't raise the rewards back up on the surveys...well then; you were one of my top sites and I'm hopeful that some positive changes will be made.

We’re glad you’ve been with CashCrate for the past 18 months and hope you’ll continue to make money with us for a long time to come. Unfortunately, survey payouts can be affected by things such as the market rate (what survey providers pay us). Sometimes a survey’s payout will increase, but unfortunately sometimes it can decrease. We are always working to provide members with the highest survey payouts we can, and we also continue to look for more earning opportunities for our members. On a good note, payout for the Pulley surveys was increased above what we were able to pay for those last year. Also, we do have lots of other surveys for you to choose from too, including several other daily surveys. Thanks. Great Site

I decided to say my final goodbye with Cashcrate. Two times I did not receive payment from them.
Update: My apologies to Cashcrate. My payment was a little late, and on top of that they sent me my missing payment from four years ago. Was not expecting that, but it's nice getting a late Christmas present :) Thank you Cashcrate.

Frank,We tried reaching out to you about this on Facebook and asked you to submit a support request regarding this so we can communicate with you directly. We also want to verify your payment information with you, to make sure the email address you entered on your account is your correct and current PayPal email address. We checked our support database and do not see a request from you yet this week. You've been a long term member and made a lot of money with us and we want to make this right for you.
Part of the issue may be that you closed/removed your account before the last payment was issued.
Please take a moment to submit a request via the Contact Us link on our site as we cannot provide specific account details via Facebook or Survey Police. We've been paying our members for over a decade and want to make sure you get paid as well.
Thanks.
Update Jan 4: Frank, thank you for replying on Facebook today that you did receive your last PayPal payment. Payments ran a little later because of the holiday: Note: If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, payments may go out on the next business day. As for the 2nd missing payment (check) from 4 years ago, unfortunately we are unable to verify payments that old with out bank, but please reach out to us and we'll see what we can do.
Ultimate way to make money from Cash Crate
August 22, 2017 by Myunghwan from South Korea
Cashcrate is a really good method to earn money from home. If you put some more effort than just taking surveys, you will earn really decent amount of extra income like $500 to $1,000 monthly(or even more depending on how you do). Referral program in the site is a good example of how to make good money just at your computer desk at home. When you get a referral referred by you, you will get a instant $1 referral fee. And the one referred by you reaches its first $10, the referral will get another referral bonus $3. It's not even all. You will CONSISTENTLY 20% to 30% of all your DIRECT referrals and your INDIRECT referrals for LIFE.
Direct referral means referrals who were referred directly by you. Indirect referral means referrals referred by referrals who were referred by you. So Simply speaking, it has 2-tier multi level earning system. the more you refer the more consistent PASSIVE income automatically credited to you every month.

Thank you for the nice post and we're glad to hear you are enjoying our site. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.At CashCrate, we actually have a one level referral program ( https://www.cashcrate.com/blog/features/referral-levels-explained/ ). You start by earning a 20% referral commission, and that commission can increase as you add more referrals.
As for the bonuses, all members start with the $3 bonus: Members receive a $3.00 bonus when a referral from any country makes their first $10.00. When you reach Silver, the $1 referral bonus option becomes available: $1.00 when a referral in the USA, Canada, or the UK completes their first survey or cash offer. At the Silver Level, you can choose one bonus or the other.
Solid, but zzzzz

CashCrate has been around for a long time and I have made some money here. It is definitely reputable, but it can get kinda boring. 1) It doesn't really have some of the fun stuff that other GPT sites have. 2) It doesn't seem like they add new offers very frequently.
