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).

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, ... more
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 program of them all. If you spent some time 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:
Total hours in a month = 30 days* 24 hours/day = 720 hours
Total pay = 720 hours * $0.01/hour = $7.20
Now, nobody in their right mind would actually surf twenty-four hours a day. Of course, you could always get a cheat program that would keep the bar active and the cash rolling in, but your electricity bill will cut into your $7.20 worth of profit!
So as you can see, the initial pay rate doesn’t get you anywhere. But wait, you can always sign up for special offers and increase your pay rate. Here is the break down on pay rates for the number of offers you sign up for (all for 1000 points):
The gold club is a ridiculous scam. I won’t go into details about how it works but believe me, the chances of you getting into this are zero!
The problem with the special offers is that you have to pay money in order to get them. All of these offers require credit cards and over 90% of the offers are casino/gambling sites that require minimum wagers ($50 +) before you can get credit for the offers. This means that you would end up paying hundreds of dollars before you raise your pay rate. And this is only a conservative estimate. Has anyone ever heard of impulsive gambling? The reason these sites join with Cashfiesta is because they know that once an unsuspecting gambler wages the minimum, they are bound to go for more, much more!
So let’s say that you join for 6 offers and actually get credit for them on time (This is another problem). Now your pay rate is up to 1000 points = $1.00 for that month. You would earn $720 in the month if you surfed twenty four hours a day. On top of this, you would supposedly make a couple of hundred dollars from points you get for signing up for the offers (1000 offer points =$1.00). Factor in the electricity bill and the hundreds of dollars paid for the offers to begin with and you basically come out even!!
So that doesn’t work. What’s left? Referrals. Good luck with that. Unless you can sign up a considerable number of people who actively use the bar, referral generate you very little income. Everyone has had a taste of the pay-to-surf experience and they are not happy about it. I have over 100 referrals from days long past still showing up in my Cashfiesta account. Not a single one of them uses the fiesta bar anymore. I guess they’ve realized what a waste of time it is.
And if all this is not enough, consider this. How can you trust a company that has no guarantee on it’s future existence? Just like many of the other pay-to-surf programs that just “disappeared”, Cashfiesta can disappear next week, next month, or next year, and with it go all your hard earned points, referrals etc.
Well, that’s it. I hope this will shed some light into the matter. For all of you who are thinking about joining Cashfiesta, take my advice: save your time and energy, this is a complete waste of time!
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)
Should you wish to try it out, go to www.cashfiesta.com.
please use abulkalam2001 as the referer id.
Hope this helps. ...
