How does it work?CashCrate is probably the easiest survey site to make money from. After you sign-up, you will receive a list of survey offers on your member page. There is no limit to how many you can fill out. Upon completing an offer, it will be submitted to CashCrate for approval in order to validate that you actually finished it correctly. When CashCrate confirms you filled out a survey offer with valid information, they send you an email describing which survey you finished, and the amount they have credited to your account. When your account has accumulated at least $20, a check will be mailed to you which you can cash when it arrives.
How long does it take to make the minimum $20 payout amount?This all depends on how much free time and determination you have. In my personal experience, reaching the $20 limit took me about 2 days, working about an hour or two each day.

CashCrate requires no credit card information to join and therefore has no way of charging you any money for joining their site. However, some of the offers CashCrate has will require credit card information, though these are clearly labeled in the offers list with a
