A. NO, you can participate on 100% free offers and make money. There are trial offers that are available, but you never have to participate in those unless you choose to. Cashcrate is a scam free work at home job
A. You can take 2 daily surveys each day that pay $.80 each. You can also take an unlimited amount of free surveys. You can also earn "cash back" money by shopping from sponsors. However, like I said before, it's not required. You can also refer others and make an unlimited amount of money. Lots of members average over $1000/month.
A. Cashcrate earnings are paid around the 15th-20th of the month. If you make $20 or more in January, you will get paid around the 15th of February. Once you reach Silver status or higher (more than 50 active referrals), you will get paid around the 1st!
Payments are made by check, mailed to you home. They never charge a fee to send you a check like some sites and payout is automatic, as long as you have a minimum of $20 in earnings.
A. Work at home scams have tarnished the reputation of the handful of legitimate work at home jobs. Cashcrate is not a scam I've personally been paid over $14,000 over the last 2 years. Cashcrate is legitimate.
These are some common questions and the answer, straight from Cashcrate:
You must be atleast 13 years old. Members from the United States and other English speaking countries will have the most offers available to them, but members from other countries are welcome as well.
The referral program has two levels. To start out, You get paid 20% of what your direct referrals make and 10% of what THEIR referrals make. Members can make hundreds a month just by referring other members to our free program!
After you sign-up, you'll be presented with a short message on how to complete offers along with a "fast-track", which is a list offers which you should complete right away because they are high paying and take little time to complete.
The most common problem we encounter is when a group of people such as a dormitory at a university are on a shared IP and all run the same IP address. We have other methods to try and detect these types of referrals as well and if we believe a referral is suspect you will not immediately be given credit for it.
I hope I've answered some of your questions about working at home and avoiding scams.
