Cash Crate Review

Hi everyone today I am going to review a very similar site to my last review.

Cash Crate Review

Overview
Cash crate offers you rewards (money) for completing offers and surveys much like the last company I reviewed Tresure Trooper - (click the link to read the review).

Once you sign up you are presented with offers that you sign up to and get rewarded for. There are also surveys you can complete for rewards as well.

If you are worried this is a scam then this is how they explain how they can afford to do this: "Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so."

Cash Crate claim they give back 75% of advertising money they receive to the consumer (you), which is a very good return compared with some other sites.

Many offers are free offers or trial offers you can cancel and there are also some offers you need to pay for, but you can choose not to do these offers. (note: the offers that need to be paid for are generally worth more rewards)

Like Treasure trooper the site is mainly geared towards US citizens and other English speaking countries, but anyone can sign up as long as they meet the minimum requirement of being 13 years old.

Cash crate claim members can make up to $1000 if they sign up to every offer and while I don't doubt their maths the best way to make money from this site is to do the offers as well as referring other people (friends, family, classmates etc.) to sign up under your referral link.

The referral program is 2 levels deep and you get paid 20% of what your refferals make and 10% of what their referrals make, which seems to me like a very good system for a site like this!

Minimum payout is only $10, which can be achieved fairly quickly.

Pros
Fairly easy and fun
Low minimum payout ($10)
Free to join (like all sites I blog about)
Many free offers

Cons
If you are not from the US there are less offers
Not as many offers as Treasure trooper

Tips - (My advice on the best way to make some money through cash crate)
1. Sign up

2. Complete all the free offers you can so you get maximum reward

3. Refer friends, family, co workers, classmates etc.

4. Check back regularly for new offers and surveys

My opinion
Cash crate is another site worth checking out even though I think Treasure Trooper is the most promising site for making money out of the two. It is probably worth signing up to both as it is free and both offer slightly different ways of making money. Both sites also have a great referral system and low minimum cash out, so go for it - it's free after all!

Treasure Trooper Review

Hi everyone,
Spent the weekend installing wireless network and had so many issues I couldn't post, but after two days of fiddling its all working so I am going to review an interesting site to reward you for your patience.

Treasure trooper review

Overview
Treasure Trooper is a site that combines surveys and online offers into one site. You can earn money through completing surveys or by doing offers, many of which are free.

There are literally hundreds of offers that you can sign up to and get paid and many are free.
eg. Just for signing upto ebay and making a bid you earn $6!!

The daily surveys are worth 75 cents and if you qualify that means $22 a month just from surveys!

Cashout is only $20, which can be achieved fairly quickly.

As another bonus Treasure trooper will also save you money and reward you when you shop online through them.

One of the best parts about treasure trooper is the fantastic referral system. They will pay you 25% of what your referrals earn and 5% of what your referrals refer (hope that makes sense). So remember to get your refferal link and tell all your friends about

Now the only downside to this site is some of the website is only available to US citizens, but people from other countries can still join. If you are from the US then the amount of things you can do for a reward is amazing!

Pros
Amazing number of offers to sign up to!
It's easy
The potential to make a bit of cash compared with many other survey/offer sites
$20 Cashout
Great 2 tier referral system
Daily surveys
They actually pay! (which is a big bonus lol)

Cons
Non-US citizens can't make full potential of this site, but can still refer people for rewards.

Tips

1. Go online every day and complete the short survey (US citizens only) 75c daily adds up to $22 a month!

2. Complete as many of the the free offers for money - you are getting something for nothing and there is no risk for big rewards.
Note: Cookies must be enabled when you complete an offer
The money for completing offers will take a couple of days to come through - but it will.

3. Get your referral link and refer people to get more rewards.

My opinion
This one gets me excited because it blows those low paying sites out of the water. This site combines the best of the survey sites and the get paid to do offers sites and ultimately is an exciting and fun way to make a bit of money. US citizens should not hesitate because every part of this site is open to them, but non-US citizens can still benefit from this amazing site.

Xpango Review

Hi everyone - hope you had a great weekend! It was my wedding anniversary this weekend (yes I remembered!) and I also had to attend a wedding so I lucked out!

Today I am going to review a relatively new site that is a little different from my normal reviews, but has some potential.

Xpango Review

Overview
If you remember my giftmonkey review a couple of weeks ago then you will be familiar with the type of site xpango is: It basically offers free gifts for people that sign up to a free offer and refer some friends and family.

Xpango is a UK based site (but open to most of the world) that offers free mobile phones, ipods, games consoles (ps3, xbox 360 and wii), mobile gaming (psp, nintendo ds) etc. as rewards for signing up and completing a free offer.

The majority of the offers are only available to the UK or US, but there are also enough international offers for people outside these regions.

Now once again before you yell scam this site can afford to do this because they are getting paid by the advertisers and then a portion of that money (in the form of gifts) comes back to you!

As I have said you need to sign up to an offer and then refer people to get credits - then your credits can be used for a free gift (it usually calculates 1 full referral for 1 credit):
-Mobile phones 17 credits and up
-Xbox 360 21 credits
-PSP 17 credits
-Nintendo DS 15 credits
-Nintendo wii 18 credits
-PS3 42 credits
-Ipod 14 credits and up
And many more gifts avaliable

A great thing about this site is that you can earn one gift and then get more referrals towards another gift ie. the amount of gifts you can receive is endless if you keep referring!

Xpango also has other ways of earning credits:
1. Clix system - you buy a clix package, which is shown on someones website. Then when someone clicks and signs up through your link you get the credit!
2. Buying crappy items - You can buy an item (mobile ringtone, usb stick etc.) and earn credits for it, which is good if you only need one credit to get your gift!
3.Selling their products on ebay - I know nothing about this, but apparently you can sell their ringtones and mobile accessories on ebay to earn credits!

Pros
Fairly easy
Some of the offers are free
Big rewards

Cons
Offers take a while to register as credits
Sometimes your referrals don't complete and offer and you don't get the credits

Tips - Follow these tips closely to receive you free credits

1. Sign up via the Xpango Website and choose your free gift.

2. Complete a free offer - the real networks offer is open to everyone and is free for 14 days and you are allowed to cancel this after 10 days. (I did this one and the credits took a while to be displayed, but I can confirm it works - be patient!) The blockbuster offer is also free and you are allowed to cancel before you are charged!

3. Get credits by referring people or another method offered by xpango (Make sure you copy down you referral link to share with friends and family)

4. Get your free gift and start from step 2 again!!

My opinion
I must admit I like giftmonkey more, but this site has very similar potential and still gets me excited! Xpango is fairly new and is worth getting into because the rewards and gifts are certainly worth the effort (even if you only sell them on ebay lol).

Caio Survey Review

Hi I hope you all had a great weekend (and public holiday if you live where I do). Today I am going to review what I believe is one of the best survey sites around.

Ciao Survey Review
Basically the Ciao survey company is like many of the other paid survey sites - in that they pay you to take surveys (Well duh I guess). Like all the others you sign up and they send surveys to your email and you answer them for cash!

Ciao is genuine and does actually pay and the minimum payout is only $5US. They pay by paypal, but I think you can request a cheque too. They send surveys fairly regularly and the best part is they tell you what the survey will be worth before you complete it - most of they are worth $2 or more, which is the best dollar value I have seen.

Ciao has a referral system, but this is the worst part about the website paying only 50cents once off for first level referrals only.

Pros
Genuine
Easy
Low minimum payout of $5
Suyveys are worth more than many other companies

Cons
Referral system could be better
Sometimes when you receive a survey and find you are ineligible

Tips
1. Fill in your profile with your information and you will receive more surveys

My opinion
Ciao is a great survey site, once again you won't get rich, but a bit of pocket money for something that can be fun is probably worth it.
