Cash Crate and Treasure Trooper are SCAMS!

I say the advertisers have been screwing us poor comsumers long enough, its only fair we get a chance to finally screw them back!

I don't like any of these outfits and won't waste my time with them. Your post just convinces me further that they're exactly what I imagined them to be. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of the world! I agree, they do encourage their users to be dishonest. Signing up for something only for an incentive with the plan being all along to cancel just before a deadline isn't ethical.

Well, I don't know about the benefits to the advertiser, but I have been pd by CashCrate. The advertisers know that there are people who will not become paid subscribers to their service, but take that chance that a few will. Besides that, most of the businesses are already rather established (i.e. Blockbuster) and not exactly starving artists.

I agree in the aspect you shouldn't have to buy something to earn money. I'm a member with both and think I'll probably cancel them They don't make me any money anyways.

On the other foot, these sites that advertise to sell something shouldn't give out trials if they aren't prepared to have people cancel. I also have signed up to some other type of free sites to get paid and it's not worth all the phone calls you get.

I have never been a member of Cash Crate but I did join Treasure Trooper for a while. I didnt make much money, just the initial bonus plus the odd survey or whatever. I have had it with these offer sites they are a waste of time completely.

I resigned from Treasure Trooper when I realised that all the offers where stuff that I didnt want or had to pay for.

Of course, you're right, but then a lot of internet programs are like that. The PTS (paid to search) programs are just the same, getting people to search for a cent or less per search, which is ripping off the people who buy ads on the search engines.

I have never been a member of either site. I have been on several survey sites, however, which were so disappointing that I try to steer clear of ANY site that requires lots of form-filling and information requests. I invariably end up subscribed to something I can't even remember*seeing,* let alone clicking on!

Some of the survey sites are legit (I have made $14.00 in 1 month!!Whoohoo!!). Unfortunately they all like to say they will pay you money, and after you've spent 30 or 40 minutes filling out the survey, you discover that all you've gotten is a CHANCE to win money. Not a paying proposition in my book.

I don't agree with you oldbuddy, I think you're missing the point here. Advertisers give free trials to whoever will join thru CC and TT knowing that only quite a few will continue using their products/services. I know that you are well versed in business, so you ought to know this kind of things. You cannot just say thieving in the same breath as what they are doing, as you cannot exploit anyone if they know what you're doing. And the advertisers are certainly aware of it.

They (CC and TT) do not teach you to try the offers and then back off at the last minute, they let other people know about other websites, their products and services, so as to generate more traffic in those sites. In business, you don't just give all, you lose some too. And if the advertisers feel that they could risk some money by offering free trials, I am quite sure they know what they are doing, otherwise they have no business being in business at all.

Its not much different from handing out flyers and giving discounts and/or freebies to those people who comes in and show them the flyers: they pay the people who gives out the flyers and give discounts/freebies to potential costumer, regardless of the risk.

I myself have never used PTR or PTC sites so I have no knowlegde of them other than what I have heard here in mylot about these types of programs ... But it seems to me its the same principle as free traffic sites ...I never use them either as I don't want a bunch of lookieloos ...I would rather pay for qaulty traffic to my website ...I feel that they are pressuring people to click on your ads or visit your website and for what ...only to drive the cost of advertising up for all of us ... I will stick to the programs I am using and stay away from these types ...

i dont know, i mean im a member of treasure trooper and cashcrate. cashcrate doesnt work at all, but treasure trooper, i actually had to work that up untill i reached payout and now i reached my payout but i just have to wait untill the 15th and now that i read this i really dont think im gonna get my money now, which really makes me sad. i was looking forward to this money, why cant sites like that just be honest???
