Made $80 in Minutes

Discover is offering a deal on CashCrate that includes a $30 payout to your cashcrate account + $50 in Cash-back rewards if you charge $500 in the first three months. In total this is an $80 deal that took no longer than 5 minutes to complete. After signing-up, I received the Discover Card about a week later.

In addition, the Discover More card offers:
-0% Balance transfers for 12 months
-0% Interest for the first 6 months
-$0 Annual Fee

First Day of the Blog

As of today, 11/21/08, my November earnings are $16.45 with $47.50 pending. I'm hoping that the pending funds will clear shortly. I will let you know how this proceeds.

Here's my account summary:



Here are the offers I've completed and received credit to my earnings:












A few notes on the completed offers
  1. The completed offers do not add up to $16.45. This is because I also completed a few daily surveys that are not shown in this list. Instead, they are under the "Daily Survey" tab on the CashCrate website.
  2. All of these offers were surveys except Experian. It is critical that you use a secondary email address for these surveys. The email address you provide will get FLOODED with spam. Avoid using your primary email address. (My strategy for phone# will be posted in the future.)
  3. Experian was a great offer because I earned $9.50 in a matter on minutes. However, this was a trial offer that required providing a credit card and then cancelling within two weeks. Calling to cancel this service was definitely amusing. The poor lady did everything she could to retain me. (She didn't have a chance - but I'd give her an A+ for effort.) I'm happy that in the end this converted into a $9.50 credit.
Here are the offers I've completed, but the credits are pending:










A few notes on the pending offers
  1. The Discover Card More is a great deal!!! Not only do you get $30 from CashCrate (after 1 transaction), but Discover will also give you $50 cash-back after spend $500 in 3 months. In total this deal will yield $80. This is awesome...my best offer so far. Looking forward to seeing the $30 in my completed list.
  2. Netflix offer should be converting soon. I initiated the service about 2 weeks ago and it takes two weeks to post the credit. No a bad deal... get paid $13.50 for having access to unlimited movies for 2 weeks. (Too bad my daughter is now hooked on Netflix's Watch-it-now service. Looks like they've converted me into a paying subscriber. Good for them!)
  3. The other pending offers look like they may not convert: Theme Park Survey, MemoLink, & Pharma Offer. I suggest staying away from them until I see them convert. I will continue to post their status.
This is my first post on this blog. Going forward I will document my successes and failures with CashCrate. Please visit this site offend to see which offers I've been able to convert into cash. This should save you the head-ache of spending your time on offers that do not produce cash. In addition, it would be great to add a few referrals to my account.
