There are many websites out there that you earn money through signing up for offers. Some of those sites are Squishy Cash, Cash Crate, Inbox Dollars, Send Earnings, etc.
I'm just curious how many of you sign up for free trial offers just to earn money. You can of course cancel the offers before having to pay anything but that can be a pain. So I'm wondering how many people actually do it?
Squishy cash is offering a special today that they will give you $3 extra dollars if you complete a free trial offer today - so I'm tempted but not sure if it's quite worth the hassle.

I do respond to some of them. I am selective thow since some of these offers do end up being a hassle on the time that they allow for cancellation and the hoops you have to jump to actually cancel what you signed up for. I am very skeptical now that I have had an issue once where they took money from my bank account even after I sent the item back after my trial period.

I did Cash Crate for awhile, and finally had to stop. I did get paid, but gosh, some of those offers I just didn't need. I had to keep creating new email addresses to get around some of the continuing emails I'd get after signing up and canceling something. So, to me it did become a pain. And the sad part is, I really liked them. Goodness, I had so many sites going that I couldn't keep up. And I think the only one I can remember that I signed up that I still use today is moola.com

I try and stay away from these, I know its tempting but unless you are really organized and keep good records I wouldn't do it. Even being extra responsible does not always do it. I did it with stamps.com and they are still billing me and this was almost 2 years ago! I have done everything, emailed, called, written letters, the credit card is long been canceled.
And something similar happened to my son with freecreditreport.com!
So be careful and good luck

oh wow - that's not good. I kinda decided against it as I was going through the trial offers and saw how much they'd charge me monthly if I didn't cancel. I don't want those charges even if I do cancel and unfortunately I realize that's likely!
