Advantages: Nothing Disadvantages: Terrible pay, unsound business
Let me start by saying that the pay-to-surf hype that took the internet by storm in 1999 is long gone and dead. Cashfiesta was one of the later programs to emerge, and today, it is the only pay to surf program that is still functional (at least to my knowledge).
Anyway, take it from a person who spent countless hours trying to make money off such programs – they don’t work.
More importantly though, Cashfiesta is perhaps the biggest unprofitable ... ...looking into the payment methods, and the actual amount of money you really make, you would realize that Cashfiesta is a complete waste of time and energy. Let’s get started.
When you first sign up for this program, your individual pay rate begins at $0.01 for 1000 Fiesta points. This is approximately a bit over 1 hour of surfing and sometimes much more. But for now, let’s assume an hour. If you surf 24 hours a day, here is how much you could earn:

Advantages: original bar concept, bright new design, UK based originally Disadvantages: lack of advertising, don't live up to promises, hard to pin down, untrustworthy
I thought I'd freshen this up as I've seen some new opinions by members, both on here and on Dooyoo that indicate that this SCAM Company have started up again.
BE WARNED... PLEASE READ THIS IN FULL BEFORE WASTING TIME ON THIS PROGRAM
Cashfiesta - you know the Surfbar with the little man that falls asleep all the time. Laugh, oh yeah, when he's asleep you aren't earning - But the truth of the matter is, you aren't earning when he's awake either!
... ...in the ‘Paid to Surf’ industry a year ago. They were British, for a start, they had a different looking Surfbar – the ‘Fiesta Bar’ which showed your stats real time as you surfed. The little Fiestaman I mentioned, ‘fell asleep’ if you were not ‘on the clock’ and earning, but as soon as adverts were shown there he was perking up and your balance was ticking over nicely
They rushed the release ...

Advantages: Making money of the net Disadvantages: what money
Well, after leaving the internet for a period for reasons unknown by myself I came back hoping there would be just as many scams out there as before with the opportunity to make a fast buck. I did, however think that the days of getting paid to surf the net were dead and buried after the lull in the internet after its initial boom nearly wiped out and business venture on the net. All of the get paid to surfers out there must remember the days of ... ...back to find Cashfiesta there offering what appeared to be decent rates, I have to say I was shocked.
The money does look handsome at a potential rate of earning of a little over $1.50. I must however stress the word POTENTIAL as it comes in very handy for the creators of Cashfiesta. I will leave this little rant until later and get on with explaining this shocker of a program to you.
First and foremost you have to join, which basically entails ...

Advantages: Bar displays points dynamically, well maintained site Disadvantages: Poor pay rate, possibility of losing points if bar crashes, few ways to make money other than the bar
Cash Fiesta has been around for a while, and initially they were looking to be one of the better PTS programmes available, with a reasonably good pay rate. That rate has now declined as have all others, although it is tough to work out exactly what it is because of the way earnings are calculated, but I would say that it is only $0.01-$0.02/hour. The only way to earn significant amounts is, as always, by getting referrals, and the way to do that, ... ...banner on your site. So, that rules most people out.
On the upside, the bar is one of the better ones, and whilst not 100% stable, it is better than average. The really good thing about it, though, is that it shows how many points you have accumulated on the bar itself. This introduces another problem, though. The points tick up at a regular rate, but only on your computer. It is only when you close the bar that the points are transferred to the ...

Advantages: Apparently pays out for surfing & for signing up to 3rd party offers Disadvantages: Unreliable reward system that can't be trusted, annoying Ad bar that needs constant attention
A few years back there was a flood of pay to surf programs available, however nearly all of them have since disappeared and many didn't actually pay as they promised. Cash Fiesta is one of the few surviving programs left and they have got a reputation for paying out.
As a new member, you need to download the Fiesta Bar. You then get paid an unlimited amount per month for viewing adverts at the top of your browser. In order to keep earning points, ... ...it, which can be annoying. You have to sign up to at 6 special offers a month to get $1 per 1,000 points accumulated surfing, last month I got $0.83 per 1,000 for signing up to 5 special offers, but it's pointless unless you sign up to at least a few or the payout is negligable. There are numerous offers, including totally free sign ups. You also get additional points at different rates for different offers. You can also get additional points by ...

Advantages: payment rate may be good Disadvantages: Need to chase around cartoon
I have been using this program for the last half an hour and already I had to wake up the little cartoon (icon) 6 times.
Sometimes it appears to be obvious why the icon is sleeping (there are no ads to view). However, it appears to be sitting idle even when there are plenty going on. When it decides to run, it runs all over the advert, forcing the user to click on the advert.
I have used (still using) adbars, where I am forced to click a button ... ...I hope they improve things otherwise one will have to be very patient chasing around a pretty disobedient cartoon.
Having looked at the payment rate for the last month, it seems quite good ($0.6 per hour)

Advantages: Good pay rate, new style bar Disadvantages: The Fiesta boy has a tendancy to sleep quite alot
I stumbled accross the Cashfiesta program while looking for a second advert bar as oppossed to alladvantage. The $.60 unlimited hours pay rate was instantly attractive as I am a heavy internet user. The bar is Different and impressive, and the idea of having the points tick over while you watch is a great idea because you know exectly when you are making money and when you are not. Unfortunatley to keep the money rolling in you need to keep the fiesta ... ...you stop getting paid, you are supposed to move the mouse over the little character and he will get up and start running again, this is not allways the case though as he tends to take prolonged naps. Sometimes the adverts stop coming in aswell causing the fiestaboy to sit down and the money to stop coming in. All in all its a promising advert bar, and I hope they live up to the promise and pay well cause I am at about £40 a month from this scheme ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Low rates, absolutely NO RESPONSE when you email them, etc
I signed up for CashFiesta about 4-5 months ago, and what a waste of time this was.
When i first signed up I had to wait about 2 months because they never had their FiestaBar ready, then after the wait I recieved a email telling me the FiestaBar was ready to download, well after reading their promises (payouts around 60-70 cents a hour I was looking forward to trying to earn some cash.
The first month went well, as I earned $9 (well thats what ... ...but slightly short of the promised rate.
The next month is when all the fun started, I surfed for about 25 hours in total, (and expecting around another $10-$12) I actually earned about $1, THEN after looking at my account I noticed the $9 had turned to about $1 and there was a message stating "For the people who want to collect their cash right away, the rates have been lowered" so I thought "Oh well that does`nt concern me and it will probrably ...

Advantages: looks like a good payer, easy to use Disadvantages: A few long down-time periods
CashFiesta looks like is firmly back on track at long last and it is a pleasure to see fat boy running about again. I have been with CashFiesta for 3 months now and am awaiting my first fat boy cheque.
Often I have found the service to be a little slow but on average you can clock up about 400 points per hour. I am for 3000 points per day and often achieve more if i put my surfing hat on so to speak.
CashFiesta is amongst one of the better advert ...

Advantages: Pays (supposedly) Disadvantages: Fiestaman requires constant attention
I have now been using this program for the about 4-5 days and already find it difficult to keep the fiesta man awake. Like someone else mentioned in another opinion, he is probably the laziest thing I have ever seen (sits adle within a few seconds at times).
In a way, this is clever programming tactics, where you need to concentrate on the fiestaman & hence ads. However I feel, the little man needs far too much attention.
Sometimes it appears to ... ...ads to view). However, it appears to be sitting idle even when there are plenty going on.

Advantages: none Disadvantages: its a scam what more needs to be said.
Cashfiesta sounds like any other get paid to surf programme, members download the paid to surf bar and as long as your are connected to the interney you get paid. Well thats the story you are told, in reality the view bar is never available to download as it is constantly being upgraded, if you are one of the few members that do get it do not expect to get paid.
The view bar is very original there is a little man when he is a sleep you are not earning ... ...This is a simple concept but proved to difficult for cashfiesta as they decided not to pay members when the man is awake.
This is british based so members rushed to sign up as there are not many british run and owned paid to companies about.
This programme at first proved very popular and I waited along with thousands of other members for the payout to begin. They never came in the end the rate of pay for each hour online was done to zero.

Advantages: Good look/design, clever marketing Disadvantages: Points updated only when quitting
Cashfiesta is one of the better "paid to surf" programmes. It at least tells you exactly when you are earning, and best of all, tells you on the viewbar how many referrals you have (unlike any other programme I have come across). You do not have to surf actively to earn, and the payout rate ($0.60 per hour) is slightly above average. The moving man is a good idea (although he often takes a while to react after his "siestas"). The only downside is ...

Advantages: excellent design, rock solid stability, nice idea, dont need your browser loaded Disadvantages: Occasionally sits down for long spells due to lack of ads, recently pitiful pay rates
Cash Fiesta is a cracking idea for a pay as you surf scheme. The advert bar is rock solid. They pay for unlimited hours per month which is good for big scale surfers like myself. Another good point about this is that you dont need to have IE loaded or anything like that, as long as your connected to the internet you can have the little fiesta man walking and thus clocking up points. The bar is standardly constructed, with a large and small advert ... ...at the side of the bar, and whilst adverts are not coming through, sits down. When adverts come through you just move your mouse above him and he stands up and starts walking on the spot. When this happens you will see your points clocking up on the little counter (another novel idea). After a while, he will start actually walking across the advert bar and as a thing to prove you are still there you just have to click on him and again the points ...

Advantages: you get to see lots of ads Disadvantages: you get to see lots of ads for useless products
I only just joined up for cashfiesta last week so this may not be as rounded as someone's op who has been on for longer. However i'm trying to explain the current problems with the site. As any pay to surf site, it is well laid out and joining is ridiculously easy. You give your name and email address and then just download the ad-bar. Even a five-year old could do it. It takes about three mins to download on a 56k modem. It is quick and easy to ... ...good times. When you load it up you get a fairly small, bright orange/yellow ad-bar. You can move it around the screen but you can't hide it (not suprising really they are trying to make money out of us after all). In the top left is a little Mexican with his sombrero. Whilst he is walking you are earning money. But as soon as he siesta's the fiesta ends. Then you have to click on the ad bar to get him going. Because of this you vaguely have to pay ...

If you have the vbar you know what the title means for most of the month of August (like paysU in july) the little mexican has been having an extended siesta. He started to rerun tonight though and the bar looks very impressive with three ads now running accross the screen hopefully this means they have lots of money for us.
