I have been a member of CyberGold for nearly a year now. When I first joined I was rather skeptical. I already belonged to a few different points programs but this was my first experience with a website that actually paid cash. I figured I had nothing to lose so I registered.
What is CyberGold?:
CyberGold.com is a website that pays you cold hard cash for checking out different websites they are promoting, signing up for offers they are promoting on their website (some free, some at a cost), clicking on email links they send you.
For the most part it is fairly similar to any of the other cash earning programs that are out there now. These programs do not really vary a whole lot in their mission. They are out to get business for companies who pay them to promote their products. In turn, CyberGold takes a portion of what they are making for each customer they bring the company and they give that to the member.
I have never signed up for any of the offers where you need to pay to join. The way I see it is that if I have to spend money to make money, I am not gaining anything. I have, however, taken advantage of a couple of their offers for merchants who were running first time shopper specials. For example, I purchased some cosmetics through a CyberGold merchant who was offering $10 off for first time customers. My order came to $9 so all I paid was shipping and handling. As a bonus CyberGold deposited $10 in my CyberGold account just for shopping with this company. So in reality, CyberGold paid for my merchandise and gave me a little extra. These are my kind of deals.
I have cashed out with CyberGold twice in the past year. It has never been for real large amounts of money, but I knew going in to it that the only way to make a lot of money through them is to take advantage of the paid offers which I don't do. So far I have made about $30 through CyberGold which is more then I started with. Considering the amount of time I spend on CyberGold.com, perhaps 10 minutes a week if that, I am happy with what I have made so far.
Cashing out has always been a breeze. There are three different methods by which a member can cash out. You can have your money deposited in to your checking account, or you can have your balance credited to your credit card. The transaction generally takes about a week to show up in your account of choice. You can also choose to have your money donated to a charity that participates with CyberGold.
CyberGold only allows one account per person and allows two accounts per household. If you do set up accounts for yourself and your husband or wife, remember to clear your cookies before attempting to log in to the second account or it will keep pulling up the first account. Members must be 18 years or older to participate, and right now CyberGold memberships are only available to people in the USA and Canada.
I hope this has answered all of your CyberGold questions. Have a great night!
