Date Boycotted: Before 2007 URL: http://www.cashfiesta.com
CashFiesta is a site promising "up to $1.00 per hour for being online", and offering the opportunity to "make over $200 in 15 minutes just by signing up to Special Offers". However, many of our complainants have found that once they reach the required minimum payout amount, Cashfiesta have not fulfilled their obligation to pay them.
The complaints we have received, and the forum posts made while the site was in a phase of unboycott indicate a trend of account deletions, false accusations of cheating, and deductions from accounts. Attempts to argue or appeal against these decisions have been often met with non-response from Cashfiesta, and where they have replied no evidence or further explanation is given.
For the reasons above, and the complaints listed below, CashFiesta has been boycotted!
Name: Rosemary Date: February 10, 2002 Comments: I could never get their darn software to load! So much for this programme.
Name: Dave Date: February 22, 2002 Comments: I joined this program and I earned money but not alot. I don't know why but all I know is that their software couldn't be load. I guess their losing.
Name: ron Date: April 18, 2002 Comments: i have been running cash fiesta with 103 referrals under me since mid march 2001 and it works fine with windows me and xp.. will see about pay.. they are fairly new so maybe you all should give them a good chance..they currently are upgradeing thier system ..
Name: Cashfiesta Date: May 19, 2002 Comments: I tried surfing with their surf bar and regularly lost lots of points. It would hang on closing, and wouldn't save a whole session. Their support only replied 'I am so sorry it has happened to you.' and while they did give a more detailed explanation, they never gave me any points back at all. I lost 10,000 points until I gave up on them.
Name: Pat Date: May 21, 2002 Comments: I was a member of their program from the start up. Managed to get a huge downline and when I finally a year or so later got enough money to cash out...they said I had violated their TOS. They never answered emails to prove what I had done. I think they are an absolute scam and advise anyone still with them to be very careful.
Name: Kevin Date: July 22, 2002 Comments: I was a member of cashfiest from the very start and quickly got a nice downline of around 250 people. After about 6 months of active surfing and of my downline actively surfing I had about $800 worth of points in my account. I attempted to get payment by using the payment option they had at the time. Couple of weeks later I went to check on my account status because when I loaded up the bar it didn't work, to my suprise my account information didn't work and in a attempt to get my password sent by email my account name was said to be invalid. Never got any notification from cashfiesta or anything on the matter and never got a response to my email asking what happened to my account. I however did go over to a friends house a month or so after that and he showed me his account was still working ( I was on his third level ). He still had the same amount of referals under him that he did when my account was active so it appears as if cashfiesta doesn't accurrately show downlines. To top it off not a single person of that 190 or so that were under my friends downline actively surfed even though another friend was signed up under him and was actively surfing at the time. Cashfiesta's response at the time was that no one in the downline was active even though we knew better.
Name: Patsy Date: July 23, 2002 Comments: I've been a member for several years, their bar does not accumulate points correctly, they are NOT a new program. I know several other people who have problems with the CashFiesta. We are all experienced surfers.
Name: Tomi Javanainen Date: May 26, 2006 Comments: I've been a member for two months, just wanted to test if they pay or not (heard both positive and negative comments on them). Today I got an email stating that all my points have been nullified (over 70,000) because I have been using 'fraudulent methods'. And I have NOT been using any 'fraudulent methods', all I've done is run their adbar for a month. Well, there ya go.
Name: Jad Date: August 2, 2002 Comments: Their program doesn't work correctly. The only thing you can do is to logout and login on your surfbar every 3 minutes or so. This way you will not loose too many points. :)
Name: Smarthunk Date: August 3, 2002 Comments: Their a lot of comments about their add bar having technical problems , but I found it to be very stable and practical,though it occasionally loses contact with it's servers but this is part of the game.
Name: tc Date: August 26, 2002 Comments: i just started. wonder should i carry on. any comments
Name: Bob Date: November 12, 2002 Comments: I actively surfed using Cashfiesta for about a year. When I finally reached $30, I requested payment. I was told that my account was closed because I cheated. They could not tell me how I cheated because it was priviledged information. I contacted Better Business and Cashfiesta did not respond. There were 9 other claims pending at the time.
Name: Leslie Date: September 10, 2002 Comments: I had hit the pay out rate twice with cashfiesta and both times I was told that the calculations were wrong. And My points were changed after the second time I canceled my account because it seems that no one can win with this company. This was about a year ago that this happened and since then I tell everyone I know to stay away from this company.
Name: Paul Date: September 13, 2002 Comments: I joined recently and after a few days of rampant, sleepless surfing I was accused of cheating and my account was suspended.
Name: Brad Date: October 1, 2002 Comments: I still think CF is a good program. The bar works and is stable now. You will only lose session points if your own ISP disconnects. It even works while playing games like Red Alert 2 cause no browser is required.
Name: Barrie Date: October 9, 2002 Comments: I have been a member for about 4 months, I am currently at around $12. I have emailed them numerous times in regards to if I can use my earnings for advertising. They never email me back ?
Name: Lee Date: October 14, 2002 Comments: I used this program for 6 months with 3 referrals and finally got up to payout and they cancelled my account!! They said I cheated. I surfed for every one of those points. What a waste of time!
Name: Jamie Forrester Date: November 21, 2002 Comments: To the person that said Cash Fiesta is a new company: well i can tell you they are not. The origninal company was actually called All Advantage and if u check there website: alladvantage.com it will simply redirect you. I had EXACTLY the same problems with all advantage about 3 years back. I managed to get around 700 ppl below me and i hit about ~$450 after hundreds of emails and i nagged them for months. i never saw a penny. this is a complete scam. The bottom line is nobody gives anything for free.
Name: Tihomir Date: November 26, 2002 Comments: My problem is that I can't move from 0.01$h rate because I am from Croatia and I can't sign up for any program.
Name: Fenix Date: November 28, 2002 Comments: I am a new user of cashfiesta.I don't know how to move from 0.01$h rate because i am not an american an i haven't any credit card.So i can't sign up for any "special offers"What shall i do?believe it or not?Continue or give up?
anybody can give any comment.thanks.
Name: Daniel Date: December 1, 2002 Comments: I have been reading alot of colmplains and scams now. I started to using cashfiesta for 1 week ago. But now I think that maybe I shall quit, because there is alot complains about the company.
I havent saw one complain yet were someone has said anything about busting them with a laywer. Isnt that possible? They CANT delete your accout, if they dont have any proofs!! Do they have a picture of your PC screen, with an autoclicker on it?? NO! So why let them go on and on, deleting accounts? They will keep doing it until someone knocks them down, and their out of business. I am from Norway, and if Cashfiesta had told me that my account was deleted because of cheating, I would personally go to US, talk to a laywer, and BUST their asses!! Dont let them keep on!! Knock them down!!

In this day of age, find a trueworthy show -ads-paying company is really hard.
Name: a guy Date: December 9, 2002 Comments: Well... i am using the software now, everything seems to be fine.
if alladvantage.com was the original of cashfiesta, then i will keep using cashfiesta for serveral weeks because i did get my checked from alladvantage.com before. (1st check was $58, then the next one was $262) i spent all of them a long time ago.
i never know if they will cancel my account or not.. but i will keep trying to use it for some more weeks. if they really will, i will post back here.
Name: Moneyworld2000 Date: September 1, 2004 Comments: Today is 1st of september. Cashfiesta said that " The REQUEST PAYMENT button is available only between the 1st and 15th of the month."
But I didn't see anything. If Is it true . Please show me or help me do that. My point 's over 70000. Thanks for your help very much !
Name: Ismailton Date: December 22, 2002 Comments: I have 19 refers that use the bar, but it is not computed my profits with them. I don't know the because. It is I also signed several things for increasing my Payrate, and it didn't advance.
Name: tera Date: December 28, 2002 Comments: i don't know, maby the cash bar was not working earlier but it DOES now. i never lose points BTW. if they don't pay or delete my account i'll post again.:)
Name: stan Date: December 29, 2002 Comments: I just started using CashFiesta, i got 2490 points and 49 cheated referrals:), everyhting seems fine now, if the scam me, we gotta bust their #$%
Name: aditya Date: January 6, 2003 Comments: don't bother with it. They only pay you 1c/1000 pts. I made about 54000 pts plus 7000 bonus points thinking they pay almost 1$/hr but there was never request payment button. I am warning you guys they really don't pay as they say in their calculator. Don't waste your time. I was like you wasted my time. And Hey, then theres there website. Always maintaing.
Name: Jonathan Date: January 9, 2003 Comments: Scamfiesta is extremely unclear about their pay rates. After doing extensive research on their website i found out that i was only making 1 cent for each 1000 points, (it takes more then a hour to get 1000 points) so that means to actually reach their minimum check size of $50, i would need to spend well over 5000 hours to reach the check size. They know that nobody in their right mind would spend that much time using their program so when the time comes to pay out, they simply stamp your name as a cheater and cancel your account. It says in their TOS that they can cancel your account for a reason or for no reason, and they use that to justify all the people they robbed. They rarely respond to emails, and ones that they do respond to, dont have anything to do with what your problem is. My account was cancelled because i used the word "f**k" in my email to them, and since they were so horribly offended by that word they suspended my account. Cashfiesta will not pay nomatter what you do, if you are even crazy enough to sign up for their "special offers" you will not get credited for them. The offers that they have are really serious investments, like a mortgage on your home, or putting money into a online casino account, which is another scam subject in itself. And all the offers they have for you to sign up for, cost YOU money. And if you dont got a credit card you're stuck with the 1 cent payrate. Cashfiesta isn't worth your time. They will win, you will lose. If you were unfortunate enough to give them your email address you might as well get a different one, because they will spam you to kingdom come. If you have a existing account, cancel it. You will never get payed. They will screw you over as soon as they owe you money. Sombody do the world a favor and bomb the cashfiesta building.
Name: Derek Date: January 9, 2003 Comments: i had been a CashFiesta member since July of 2000. I logged into my account on January of 2003 and all of my earnings had been deleted. I had just 1 cent remaining in my account. I had well over $27 in my account with CashFiesta. I sent an email asking about why my earnings vanished and never received a response. DON'T USE THIS PROGRAM! THEY DO NOT PAY!
Name: Jonathan Date: January 11, 2003 Comments: If you have been scammed by cashfiesta, PLEASE report them to bbb.org so that somthing can actually be done about it. Im sure with enough complaints the state bbb will take action. If you had dealings with them in the past, no doubt you have been scammed as well as the rest of us, so why not report them? They dont deserve to make a living off of scamming all of us. And that little fiesta boy that falls asleep all the time, (laugh) oh yea... him, perhaps he should be laid to rest for good...
Name: mik garland Date: January 14, 2003 Comments: It was last year some time but they accused me and others of cheating when all i had done was dare to press the redeem button.THis lot are out and out scam merchants and thieves full stop. You have been warned.

Name: Tom Delme Date: February 11, 2003 Comments: A few days ago I saw that they erased my earnings of a few months ago.
Name: RishiBoy Date: February 25, 2003 Comments: Their pay rates are so low, and their minimum payout is so high. Once you reach the minimum payout, they will say you are cheating.
Name: Nicole Date: February 26, 2003 Comments: I signed up for many programs through them and got credited for one when I complained. Thia site sucks big!!
Name: Michael Date: March 4, 2003 Comments: Yeah this program really sux. You can only "earn" anything if you sign up for any of their offers. The offers all cost money so i doubt you earn anything!!! Big time SCAM!!
Name: Jason Date: March 6, 2003 Comments: Nobody ever commented on the fact their website has been donw for atleast 2 months or more.
They must be running from the law. BTW everything everyone said bad about them is true. Program sucked and crashed, lost points. They do not payout etc.

at one time I had over 30 000 referals across 10 of these programs and only a few have lived up to there promise.
could they not be reported to the US Federal Trade Commision?
Name: Methodless Man Date: April 10, 2003 Comments: They terminated my account today. I replied:
Well the link led to nowhere, and it looks like Im out of 5 cents. I have no idea what led you to whatever conclusions youve made, but dont even bother re-investigating. Cashfiesta is the biggest joke in Pay To Surf. And dont you guys worry about the nickel you owe me, even if it DID take 10 months to earn, I found a quarter in a parking lot today, thats 4 YEARS of Fiesta Earnings!

Name: concerned Webmaster Date: April 12, 2003 Comments: I just wanted to let everyone know that there are 2 cashfiesta sites. This one everyone is talking about and Cash-Fiesta. The Cash-Fiesta site with the - is a really good site that has many ways to earn and DOES pay. She credits your account when you signup for a program, and answers every email and is really nice to work with. Please dont get her site confused with this one everyone is talking about. Cash-Fiesta with the - has only been around since February 9th with a payout of $10.00 which she is trying to lower for everyone. Please dont get the 2 confused because she does run a really good site. I dont know about the one everyone is talking about because I wont risk signing up, but like I said please dont get the 2 confused. Thank you.
Name: sean Date: June 2, 2003 Comments: I lost my entire 18000 points last night. This is in addition to several hundreds I frequently lost due to disconnection. Even when it is working, I had to click the fiesta-boy every now and then to wake it up. Besides, it may take more than a year to reach the $50 minimum payout. I am not going to use it again.
Name: Kamzolis Date: June 5, 2003 Comments: Yap, there are 2 cashfiestas:
1. http://www.cashfiesta.com;
2. http://www.cash-fiesta.com
I have 1 month experience with first one, and not a best one. 1 cent per 1000 points. I have registered in the bunch of special offers, and Cashfiesta are showing not any special offer.
Name: georg karagjozov Date: July 29, 2003 Comments: I got $65 even without downloading their software. I deposit and lost:( $50 at Casino On Net and more that 30 days later I got 65,000 special offer points in my account. The problem is that they are too slow in getting report from their partners so they can credit you special offer poins with a big delay.
I.m not sure it worst to use them. Just wanted to say that sometimes they paid to a member.
Name: Gigi Ru Date: July 30, 2003 Comments: I read this coments before but I didn't believe first.Now I am cashfiesta member for more than two months and I get no money from them. First they say my paylevel is 1.66 and I work hard all night, watch ads and after two months my paylevel is 0.01!!!When I want my check they say I don't have enough points.Cashfiesta is SCAM, they don't want to pay!I will wait one month and see if they pay me but I don't believe any more...
Name: RandallW Date: August 20, 2003 Comments: I was supposed to receive a check this year. The company claimed it was sent in March, but it never arrived.
(from e-mail)
According to our records your check was sent in the beginning of March and indeed you should have already received it. Obviously it never reached you.
Unfortunately, once a check is issued and sent out, Cashfiesta assumes no responsibility for its delivery. Cashfiesta is not responsible for checks which are lost in the mail, stolen, or sent to an incorrect address. If your address has changed, please remember to update your profile!
I am sorry for the inconvenience but there is really nothing we can do!
Best regards,
The Cashfiesta Team

Do I believe them? Do I believe they lied? *shrug*
I wasn't credited for a small group of special deals, either.
Name: paidemailsa Date: August 21, 2003 Comments: thanks for warning me about cashfiesta.i joined 3 months ago and ran their adbar like mad . also signed up for 6 special offers. but i kept loosing points . since the last 2 months i log in every day just to see if they have credited me for those 6 special offers so far nothing it is probably time for me to give up hope . does anyone have more info on cash-fiesta?
Name: Wilhelm Date: August 29, 2003 Comments: Its program is a complete fraud. I use their bar as mad for three months and joined in 3 of their special offers and I never had credited for those after of wait for 2 moths. I acummulated 117000 pts (i lost a lot the points for server error messages) in the second month and wait the credit for the special offer but never arrived at my account and in the last month when arrived the pay report from may (the second month) i'll wait that the payment was $55 but was $1,17. I can't believe it.
I was write to them about the offers that i have made and i attach those in the email for explain to them but i received as answer that: "then must received answer form the advertisers NOT FROM YOUˇ", they are ******* and his program is a fraud, i lost my time and my 2nd phone line account was expensive for it
Name: Playbahnosh Date: September 9, 2003 Comments: I use this Cashfiesta program for 2 weeks now, and i'm not satisfied at all. The payrate is 0.01$ so 1 cent per 1000 points. I'll have to wait ages to reach the cheque size!
I sent my account cancellation e-mail an hour ago. Furthermore: I checked this FieastaBar with SpySweeper Pro and I found spyware! Many spyware. They used to monitor my browsing activity and my computer's content too. This is not only a fraud. This is a crime! I'll not take legal actions if they cancel my account this instant. But if I get another unwanted e-mail, mail, phone call or anything, i will sue them to death, i promise! DON'T TRUST CASHFIESTA!
Name: daf460 Date: September 24, 2003 Comments: I joined their program several months ago. I signed up for some of the offers, and still havent recieved credit for them. I dont think I have lost any points due to disconnects as I have a broadband connection that is always on. There was a lot of spyware on my pc after running that stupid ad bar. Im glad I found this site and seen Im not the only one who has a problem with this company!
Name: maria Date: September 26, 2003 Comments: I used to be a member but I quit right after I realize that 1 cent per 1000 points payrate wasn't working. They never converted it, accordingly to my earn stats. This program doen's worth our time nor our raised phone bill!
Name: cool Date: September 27, 2003 Comments: Woo looks like cashfiesta is bad...i joined the program recently..hopefully they'll nt kick me out
Name: Ryan Date: October 8, 2003 Comments: I joint Cashfiesta long ago along with other get paid programs like GetPaid4, Surf2Web, alladvantage and etc. All paid me except Cashfiesta. I had more than 80 downlines and surpassed 30.00 USD min payout. The payment button appeared and i requested. After few weeks, they claimed that my account is invalid and my surfing method was fraudulant. I asked for the proof but they just couldn't give me. After sometimes, Cashfiesta keep on sending me their advertisements and promotions. I was so p***ed off and replied them why they terminated my account but still send me email? They told me i got to unsubscribe by myself. I refuse to do that and warned them to stop emailing me. Finally they updated their mailing list and stop to send me any email. Cashfiesta is a scam, it is not worth to join and waste your time. I have yet to find out anyone receive their real money.
Name: jkjo Date: October 5, 2003 Comments: wow.. people in my country(korea) will be totally SHOCKED reading these posts.
if only i can tell them about this. they're advertising it almost EVERYWHERE i go..
i also was very excited to find out Cash Fiesta, but it's true that they don't work. i've been with them for a year now and no, i don't expect to get paid..
Name: JZ Date: October 25, 2003 Comments: I joined cashfiesta a long time ago (when there were hundreds of pay to surf programs running on the internet). I surfed for quite a bit at the beginning, but then completely forgot about it when most of the pay to surf companies went bankrupt.
Anyway, one thing that I can add to all these complaints is about referrals. Last year, while cleaning up some space on my computer, I came across the fiesta bar. It had been on my computer for a couple of years and I had used it a few times. Curious, I logged into my account and saw that my total earnings were $0.01. This was suprising because I knew I surfed for a lot more than 1000 points and besides, back then rates were suppose to be a lot higher than 0.01/1000 points. I called up one of my friends who was in my downline, and asked him to check his stats. He had exactly the same thing even though he was expecting to have at least a couple of dollars. What was more suprising was that of my 300+ referrals, not a single one seemed to have been surfing all this time. So me and my friends decided to do a little experiment. I convinced him to surf for a a bit with the bar during the month and I did the same thing. Since he was in my downline I was expecting to get some referral points. To no suprise, when the stats for the month showed up, there was a big fat zero for referrals which I knew it couldn't be true.
That was it. I deleted the program and haven't looked back since then.
The point is, even if you don't want to beleive all the scamful ways this company cheats people, and you stick to surfing for 1 cent per 1000 points, it'll take you years to get a pay check. You'll make more money working a couple of hours during the year than this! Money is not found with these companies, it's earned. Don't waste your time, good luck!
Name: suzy Date: October 18, 2003 Comments: Hi, I am glad to see that I am not the only one. I just found Cashfiesta a few months ago and signed up. At first, I loved it. I am on the computer a lot, and this site actually pays you to just be online, so I thought that it was perfect. Even though every time I clicked on a link, my computer froze, I still liked the program. It exposed me to links and programs that I never knew existed. After about a week I had about 4,000 points. Having to spend ten hours on line was paying off. Until one day, I signed on, and to my horror - all of my points were gone. They had just disappearred. Having a heart attack, I wrote to them asking them what had happenned, and to reinstate my points. They had just been confirmed, they knew that I had not done anything with them - so how could they argue. I never even heard back from them. When I wrote a second time, I watched what few points I had accumulated vanish before my very eyes. Still, no response from them. They did not even write back, forget reinstating my points. I could not get over how they could do this. Especially since they had a record of my points, and knew that I was telling the truth. In the last couple of weeks I figured that I would try the program again and see what would happen. I had to spend all of this time on the computer anyway - six to ten hours a day at times, why not be rewarded for it. Maybe, I could earn my points back. I felt sure that I had just gotten a bad employee - or a customer service rep, and that usually they did respond back and take care of the problems. How could they stay in business if they did not.I had to spend all of this time on line anyway,what would I lose. Why not benefit from it, so I started running the cash fiesta bar again. That is when these casinos started popping up. Something or someone was downloading casinos onto my computer with out my knowledge, consent - nothing. It was bizarre. For the life of me, I could not figure out where these casinos were coming from, or how it was happening. That something could download a program onto my computer without any knowledge from me was very disturbing. And for some reason they were landing in my favorite folder - the one listed when you turn on the computer. This is something that I have never even looked at on my computer, more or less put something on. I got my cousin to come down this last weekend, to help me get these casinos off of my computer, and to try and figure out just where they were coming from. They refused to be erased, and he knows a lot more about computers than I do. I think that we finally got them off - at least they are off of my desktop. I clicked on another favorite that just appeared and I was shocked when it led me back to cashfiesta. Can a company really do this - just download things on your computer without even asking? I always thought that you had to download programs, not that they could do it themselves. It really shocked me. The more I have been reading about this site, the more disturbed I become. It seems that even once you get to the payout level, they will not pay, but just delete your account instead. Another lady spoke of tons of spyware. My computer has been acting up to no end. In fact, I have got to go back and grovel to my pay to read sites that I lost when my computer was down. It is suddenly refusing to shut down by itself. And then when it comes back on, the error check refuses to finish. It freezes up, and loves to die. Could those spyware programs be causing these problems? Come to think of it, they did start about the time that I found this program. I used to love Cash Fiesta because of all of the interesting sites that it exposed me to. But now I am probably just going to delete it. Has anyone ever been paid? How can they put spyware on your computer and not tell you? Has other people have had problems with their computer because of them? It sopunded like such a wonderful site when I first found it. I really enjpyed the program. But if it is hurting my computer? What would the damage be if I just left the program in, and did run it. Would it hurt my computer even more? Can the damage that the spyware did be fixed? Will the spyware go away when I delete this program? I am really disappointed! Suzy.
Name: Jonathan Date: October 29, 2003 Comments: I disregarded most of these comments, I finally reached payout of $50 and guess what? My account was closed due to some crap about cheating!!! I signed up for a lot of those programs surfed for each and every of my 426,000 points! How dare they! I had about 426,000 bar points including bonus and about 200,000 from sign ups! This SUCKS! Sue Cashfiesta!
Name: taxlady Date: November 14, 2003 Comments: They paid me first payout no problems other than making me wait forever. If i recall correctly they said they needed to be paid first.
Then they made us wait 6 months or more before we could make any further requests.
When i finally qualified for another payout, and requested it, they deleted me for cheating.
How can a cheater be cheating if it took 6 months to reach payout?
This is definately a scam!
Run for the hills. Don't sign up for this one.
The only thing i ever liked was their viewbar, i used to get a kick out of rubbing the guys belly and making him run...hehe

Name: powerbarman Date: January 31, 2004 Comments: As soon as I reached the $50 payout balance, they closed my account and accoused me of cheating! Not only I didn't cheat, I actually had signed up several of their programs. Therefore, not only I didn't get paid, I actually lost $$$. They should be close down!
Name: mykenty Date: February 4, 2004 Comments: i sent some mail to cashfiest, but they never reply me. Because i have more 50$ on my acc but i don't receive anything
Name: Brian Date: February 5, 2004 Comments: I wasted one month in Cashfiesta, using their surf bar for everyday and only get 2$. I am glad I gave up on this stupid site.
Now when I log in to my account. Even that poor 2$ was gone! Scam!
Name: yoursource Date: February 8, 2004 Comments: cashFiesta is a royal pain to earn from, but if you do it right you CAN earn. One thing you should know is that after 6 months of inactivity (no points earned) they "reset" your accumulated points/money earned (<50) to ZERO. And Special Offers take 4 to 6 weeks to be credited.
Name: ryan tomlinson Date: February 10, 2004 Comments: When you download the adbar, there is always a file missing so it won't load. i emailed them, and they told me to make a folder on my desktop and put the required file in it. why can't they just fix the problem and put the file in the appropiate spot for the download to be successful. they simply do not care. they did cut back my earnings as well. since then, i have not used them because they are a SCAM

Name: Brandie Date: March 22, 2004 Comments: i've been a member for several years..i joined, and then they sent me one check.. i quit using it because i was away and had no internet connection, when i started using them again, i got enough to cashout, and they too closed my account.. i didnt even have any referrals. when i asked how i cheated, I never got a reply
Name: xxicy Date: March 25, 2004 Comments: Well I'm here to state as it has already been about 1,000 times, and I hope they will all get this through your head, cash fiesta is a scam!!! I as well was a member for a while and I didn't use it that much and earned a small sum of about $20. And like what everyone else said they suspend your account. And so once again **do not use this program**
I'd love to hear somebody who actually got paid from this surf bar.
Name: Dua Date: April 6, 2004 Comments: i'm a current memebr of Cashfiesta .. still don't have enough points to cash out .. but i want to comment on one thing , some people say that the add bar doesn't count points so fast , well maybe you haven't been paying attention to the little fellow in the add bar , if you read the F.A.Q on the site , it said that you should click on him if he isn't moving . cause if fiesta boy is taking a siesta there's no cashfiesta ;)
as for the check problems ,i'll get back to you all on it .. i know there's not one good comment here on it but i'd like to try it myself :)

Name: Carl Date: January 20, 2005 Comments: I tried it , accounts ALWAYS get DELETED at the end of the month.
Name: Grand Gordo Date: December 27, 2004 Comments: EW! Worst than spedia man! They reduce ur tax to some pennies, in a way that you will never be paid unless you subscribe for those ridiculous site. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. If, from 1 to 10, spedia is 5, then Cashfiesta is 0.
Name: Randall Wong Date: January 28, 2005 Comments: I have been accused of cheating. I did not cheat!
Name: Lewis Date: December 12, 2005 Comments: this is rubbish, it takes AGES to get any points, and when you finally do, you dont have enough to claim anything unless you buy stuff from them.
after watching 8 hours of adverts a day for a month (at work) i got nothing but sore eyes.
Name: Shang Mu Date: December 26, 2005 Comments: They claimed that I was using fraudulent methods and deducted my earnings, but without any explanation or evidence. I did not use any fraudulent method. I sent them two emails arguing about it but there was no reply at all.
Following is the email that they sent me claiming that I was a cheater:
Dear Cashfiesta User,
We detected that you have been using fraudulent methods for increasing your earnings. Therefore we nullified all your points from the Fiestabar, referral and bonus points. Our Terms and Conditions allow us to terminate your account in cases like this but we chose not to do so because we consider you a valuable member. Since you have completed Special Offers without using any fraudulent methods we will leave the points for these registrations.
Please, make sure not to violate our Terms and Conditions because we will be forced to terminate your account.
Best regards,

CashFiesta's responses have gone from rude, to completely ignoring, to unhelpful, to bordering on libellous (regarding TrendMicro).
I would advise an immediate reconsideration of this program's boycott status.
Name: kristina Date: April 24, 2007 Comments: The other Cash-Fiesta site mentioned does not exist. Maybe it's one and the same? It's taken me years to reach $30, and I'm not getting much for active referals. Seems a little strange that this program is still around if it's scamming people.
Name: Nick Date: May 13, 2007 Comments: All my earnings disapeared from my account(((
Name: Holly G Date: August 9, 2007 Comments: Cashfiesta had a promo going on that if you completed three offers, you would get fifty bucks. Well I started to complete the offers, and when I got to the thrid one, it could not be completed. I emailed them numerous times, with no response. They had finally changed the last offer, and I completed it, so I had all three completed, and they just took it away, like I never did anything. I immediately removed there toolbar, and everything else!
Name: marc arcoria Date: August 27, 2007 Comments: I initially got paid $50 for completing a monthly special.. but after that they took all my points away for cheating .... 2 months in a row... they would not say why... even though I explained I am in front of the computer alot due to my disability and my wife and four children help keep the meter running too.I am very disappointed with the customer service and the false accusations of cheating .
Name: Chris Date: February 6, 2008 Comments: WOW, These crooks are still around???? Unbelieveable that people would still be signing up for this one. It was some 5+ years ago when I quit. When some 100,000 points was worth about 17 cents, I e-mailed to ask if they were serious. I immediately deleted my account. I was not running their surfbar, joining their programs & clicking their ads for 17 cents a month. I could not see myself waiting for 20+ years to reach payout
Name: Lorrain Baker Date: March 15, 2008 Comments: I was looking to take surveys and they did NOTHING but show ads in my face and get me to buy stuff! And in order to get points I had to search things online in order to get points! This was stupid and it costed me nothing but JUNK MAIL!! Their ads put Adware on your computer! and possible viruses!!

Name: malcom Date: June 28, 2008 Comments: I joined this program a while back, but when i reformatted my computer, and had to get the bar again, I went to the site to redownload it, and the site said my account had been suspended....? This site should be shut down for the sake of people.
Name: Ma. Jeanylyn Bas Date: July 10, 2008 Comments: Doesn't give the equivalent money of all the accumulated points from the cashfiesta bar.
