As well as the three main ways you can make money with CashCrate (completing offers and surveys, referring others and getting cashback when you shop), CashCrate also has two other nice little features which help you to get more from the site – the points system, and the contests.
CashCrate Contests
First, the contests. CashCrate's contests and promotions give you a chance to make some extra money if you're active on the site. There's usually a new contest each month, and extra money is given to the members who fulfil certain criteria, which can change each month. For example, in the May 2009 contest, prizes were given to the ten members who referred the most new members (active meaning they completed a minimum of one offer or daily survey. In the August 2009 contest, prizes are given to the ten members who make the most money through completing offers and daily surveys. So the contests may change a bit each time to keep things interesting, but you can make anything from an extra $10 to $150 or more, depending on how the prize fund is divided up each month.
The CashCrate Points System
As well as giving you money, CashCrate also rewards members with points. Every time you make $1, you get 1 point, and there are chances to make additional points by completing offers which reward you with points rather than cash. When you've got enough points, you can them for prizes, from the CashCrate Prize Shop. Prizes include gift vouchers of various types, as well as cameras, iPods and much more!
