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.

Successful Surveys

I seems no matter how fast I reply to a survey, I am not qualified or quota is full. This has been going on for a few months.
CashCrate responded to this review on July 3, 2017
We now have the ability to respond to concerns posted here.We are sorry you've had trouble completing/qualifying for surveys. Survey companies have a limited amount of money to pay for people to do their surveys. So they have to make sure that the surveys are done by the people most qualified for each particular topic. Some surveys are looking for people with specific tastes, other surveys may be looking for people in specific places, with specific interests, etc.
As you complete surveys, survey providers also attempt to better match you according to the demographic information you've provided. Just to note: Going through a survey too quickly or providing inconsistent answers from survey to survey can also cause disqualifications. We're not saying that's the case here, but we have seen others disqualified because of it.
If you have any additional concerns or questions, please submit a support request on the main CashCrate site and we'd be glad to take a closer look at your account.
Terrible
August 20, 2017 by sam from United States
Cash crate is a very frustrating way to make any money. When I am able to qualify for a survey in which is one out of twenty, it seems like I reach the very end and then get disqualified. What a frustrating sequence this is. I wrote to their customer service department and their reply was basically worthless. I am not going to waste my time anymore with this worthless survey site.
CashCrate responded to this review on August 20, 2017
We are very sorry you had a frustrating experience with us. Please reach out to us again and we'll see if we can make it right for you.Unfortunately, surveys are looking for specific demographics such as your age, employment, interests, etc. Sometimes it can be tougher to qualify for a survey than others.
Please feel free to reply to the original support issue you submitted or submit a new one and we'd be glad to try and assist. Thanks.

SECURITY BREACH:User/Passwords on darknet
August 18, 2018 by kris from United States
CashCrate apparently doesn't take security seriously. As of 8/14 I have received a CreditWise report of my email and password on the darkweb from CashCrate. CashCrate did not bother with any notification. I discontinued using these guys years ago, very low quality activities and it extends to operations. CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS!!
CashCrate responded to this review on August 23, 2018
CashCrate has recently received a handful of messages from our valued members, regarding notification by third parties about a breach of their data originating from CashCrate. Notices were issued via our website, blog, and via e-mail notifications at the time the breach was discovered in June 2017. Additional details about the breach are available here (https://www.cashcrate.com/blog/announcements/potential-security-breach-please-change-your-passwords-immediately/). We take our security very seriously, and we spent a lot of time internally and externally investigating, adding new security procedures and tightening existing ones. We apologize if you did not see the notifications that were sent and posted in 2017 and understand the concern this has caused you. Just s waste of time

Get rejected for most surveys. Half an hour to get one survey. Games are nice but playing for a penny a game is ridiculous. The rest is just junk so unscrupulous web hunters can get your information and flood your in box with total junk.
CashCrate responded to this review on April 8, 2018
We are sorry you have not enjoyed your experience with us so far. Please contact us directly by submitting a support request ( https://www.cashcrate.com/support ). We'd be glad to take a look at your account and offer any assistance that we can.If you completed cash offers on our site and provided an email address, you are giving the company(s) sponsoring the offer your permission to contact you.
Surveys are based on demographics such as your interests, occupation, where you live, etc. The survey providers want to make sure the surveys are done by the people most qualified for each particular topic. New surveys come out all the time, so if you don't qualify for many now, chances are you'll be able to qualify for more in the future. As you complete more surveys, survey companies attempt to better match you to surveys that you may qualify for.
