This is from Amy Bass, visit her website; http://www.mydebtfreegoal.com/

"I was just in a meeting with the owners of CashCrate and was able to get quite a bit of very important information from them about the changes going on in the Get Paid To industry and CashCrate as a whole. Some of the things that I learned today are completely different than what I previously thought and what has been standard practice about getting offers to approve so read on.

Apparently the past couple of months haven't been so good for get paid to sites. There is a lot of fraud going on from people completing offers and surveys with false information. This is causing the advertisers to be more careful and much more picky about the offers that they approve.

Private Phone, 2prong and other Disposable Emails

They have now started to reject offers from people who are using http://www.privatephone.com, 2prong and other disposable email addresses. This was a shock to me because I had been using 2prong myself. I wont be doing that anymore. You can still use http://www.privatephone.com as long as the phone number is within your area code and near your actual address.

The Old Gmail Dot Trick

Also, they have been getting upset about people putting dots in their email addresses, you know, the old gmail dot trick. When the advertisers see dots in email addresses the assume it is a fake email address and may reject the offer.

Never fear, according to CashCrate Joe & Carter there should be no problem getting the offers to clear by simply using one email address for everything on the site. I now have one email address that I use specifically for my CashCrate offers and I don't worry about changing it up anymore.
It is fine to use a 2nd email address as long as it is an address you will check occasionally. CashCrate doesn't want you to use an email address that you will never ever check.

Don't do the same offer on more than one GPT site

If you complete an offer on one site then go and complete it again on another site it really upsets the advertisers and most likely reject both completions. So keep a notebook or something to keep track of what offers you have completed if you use more than one site to do offers on. Advertisers do not want the same info from the same person twice.

When it comes to offers such as "Party with a star" in which there are multiple offers but for different celebrities, you can do all of them. That is because they are each different offers for different sweepstakes. Just don't do the same celebrity offer twice once it has cleared.
These are all reasons why the approval rates have dropped for a lot of people. Advertisers don't like fake emails, phone numbers and addresses. Make sure to use real information.

Gift Cards and Prepaid Cards

Advertisers are making it a practice to reject offers done with gift cards. They used to accept gift cards, but there has been a lot of people buying gift cards and completing some trial offers for more than the limit on the card. So due to this type of fraud they do not like gift cards to be used.
Now, if you want to get a prepaid visa card or something that allows you to add money to it. That may be allowed as long as it has enough money on it to cover the expenses for any trial offers you want to sign up for.

Some Good News About CashCrate

According to CashCrate Joe & Carter, the worst of what we have been experiencing with fraud in the industry is now behind us and we can expect more approvals in the future.

Over the next few months a lot of the smaller Get Paid To sites that have not taken the proper precautions against fraud will be forced to shut down. At that time, many of the really good advertisers will start returning to the strong get paid to sites with better offers.

Exclusive Surveys

CashCrate is also now in the works with some surveys companies to bring even more actual real surveys to the site. Not those advertiser surveys, but real surveys.
These surveys will also only be available to CashCrate members so this is a nice incentive to stick with them.

Clearing Cookies

I asked if it is really important to clear you cookies between each offer. They said that it only helps if you are doing offers from the same company. So if you are doing different offers from different companies you wont need to clear the cookies between them.

Summary

Some of the things I discovered about CashCrate and how to get offers approved blew my mind. I think it is very important for everyone who is involved with CashCrate to read this. "
