There are many places to go to do paid online surveys. But only one reliable proven one that I have found. Which is cashcrate. I have gone over in previous articles how to make some extra cash on there as well as how to get support via the forum. What I want to talk about with you today is their point system.
You can do paid online surveys for cash on cashcrate, but there are also offers. There are offers that will require you to do certain things and then in return you will receive a set amount of money. For every $1 you earn in offers you will receive one point. So that is the first way and the most common way to earn points.
There are also certain offers that cashcrate has set up with advertisers that will allow you to gain points. They are set points. You can earn anywhere from 1 point to a couple hundred points, depending on the offer. Some of the offers are free, some are trial offers, some are surveys, etc. If you focus on these and work on these you easily earn thousands of extra points to spend.
Another way to earn points is to sign up and follow cratey on twitter. Every once in a while he will tweet a coupon code to put in for either cash or to earn some extra points!
The last way to earn some extra points on cashcrate is to play the games. The games are not free, they do require points to play. You can play weekly tournaments which require 1 point to play or you can play daily tournaments which require 2 points to play. You should practice on the weekly so you will be able to lean the games better. If you win one of the tournaments you will receive 50% of the points in the pool, 2nd is 20%, 3rd is 15%, 4th is 10% and 5th is 5%.
Then the points you can turn in for gift cards and other merchandise. It takes 500 points to get a $25 gift card to many different locations. There are smaller and bigger amounts as well. You can learn about the prizes in the prize shop and decide what you want to save up for. The paid online survey site allows you to get gift cards as well!
Cashcrate.com is a great site that allows you to earn cold hard cash and gift cards. It is a great site and it allows you to get have some fun money. What else could you ask for at a paid online survey site!

Im glad someone wrote an article about the points system because I feel that it is one of the most overlooked aspects of cashcrate. Everyone is always only concerned with how much money they are making and which offers are confirming quickly, but I personally love being able to do offers and surveys and play games for points and then redeem them for giftcards or other great prizes. Im hoping to redeem some points this week in order to get a giftcard in time for some last minute christmas shopping.
