Is Fusion Cash (FusionCash.com) A Scam?
It’s no surprise that Fusion Cash has come under scrutiny by work at home seekers. There seems to be a continuous pattern that emerges when a company becomes popular. People flock to the program, sign up and get started. But then something funny happens, some don’t do as well with the given program as others and next thing you know it’s being called a scam! I’ve also noticed that a company is called a scam if it has some flaws. Last I checked no company or person is perfect. Do we run around calling them scams?
In any event, I have personally worked with fusion cash for several months now and I can attest it is not a scam. Fusion Cash is totally free to join and get started with. So the barrier to entry should be easy for most people interested in working at home.
How Fusion Cash Works
With FusionCash.com you earn money for completing free offers, risk free trial offers and some paid offers. You can easily earn as little as $.50 per offer to as much as $50 per offer in less than 10 minutes. I know this for a fact because I’ve done many of their offers. Here’s screenshot of my own payment for you naysayers. It’s one of the few places I know where you can get paid to fill out offer forms of various companies. I’ve actually been paid several times by fusion cash for completing offers before I decided to move on to their publisher program.
The Complaints!
One of the negative things I can see about Fusion Cash is that it does take some organization on your part to keep track of all those offers you’ll be doing and you need to read the fine print on these offers to avoid some downfalls. The other bad thing is that it’s not open to international folks! Now before you go and decide to sign this program off, keep this in mind, you don’t ever have to do the paid or risk free trial offers to earn money with FusionCash.com. There are tons of free offers being added everyday. Granted they won’t pay as much as paid or risk free trial offers but they do pay and can add up. But again with all these offers there are some things you need to do to avoid some bad situations, which I’ve described on the following page: Get Paid To Try Offers
How You Make Money With Fusion Cash!
Well the most lurcrative way is the paid and risk offers. But it can also be a downfall if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’ve done all the type of offers that Fusion Cash offers. But personally I like the risk free offers more because it allows me to try products I’ve always wanted to try but never had any real incentive to do so. I’ve done well with these offers because I stay organized and know when and how to cancel. Furthermore I always read the fine print before signing up for any offer.
Risk free offers are great because if you don’t like the product or service you can always cancel before having your credit card charged. This is where you need to be organized and keep track of expiration dates and numbers to call to cancel. But this is simple if you just write everything down.
The other type of offers people complain about are the paid offers. But like with risk free offers, you don’t have to do these offers. You can just stick to the free ones. But the paid offers do earn you a lot more money. But keep in mind with the paid offers it’s very similar to when you put money in the bank.
Here’s why. Let’s say Fusion Cash pays you $25 for trying out a baby magazine you’ve always wanted to read anyway. You would only be responsible for paying for shipping which would be about $6.95. In essence Fusion cash just gave you $18 (when you subtract the $6.95 you paid for shipping) that’s almost 3 times more than you invested. How many saving accounts, mutual funds and stocks offer you that type of return in minutes let alone within years? Not any I know of! (And if you do know some, please email me asap!) So for me this was a win win situation.
But I understand some of you don’t want to pay for these offers or don’t have a credit card and that’s fine! You still don’t need that to earn with fusion cash. As I’ve said many times in this post you can earn on free offers you fill out! However keep in mind that it’s just going to involve doing more offers to make some decent money but it can be done and it involves no out of pocket cost!
How To Avoid Losing Money & Or Being Spammed!
At the end of the day you can make money with sites like Fusion Cash but you need to be very organized and have attention to detail to succeed with get paid to try offer sites like fusion cash or you could end up being spammed or lose money. However if you follow the simple steps in my Get Paid To Try Offers video, you’ll avoid these pitfalls and can easily do very well with Fusion Cash. But be sure you apply the tips. Sites like Fusion Cash aren’t for every one but honestly I think its more because people aren’t knowledgeable about how to go about this opportunity. It’s like the old saying goes, knowledge is power.

That is too funny! I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on that...
I agree. Fusion Cash is a good site and it’s free so there’s nothing to lose.
ReplyThe above article was written by the developers of FusionCash.com. Don’t believe what it says. It a scam, no money to be made.
ReplyEveryone’s entitled to their opinion. But making up stuff is going a bit too far. I’m not a developer and I don’t own or run Fusioncash.com. I think anyone that has read my blog posts http://www.workathomenoscams.com/articles/ and reviews http://www.workathomenoscams.com/work-at-home-reviews/ long enough know I give my honest assessments of an opportunity based on my own experience, Whether good or bad.
Sounds to me like you didn’t have a good experience with FusionCash and that’s expected with any company. I can have a great experience at BestBuy and someone doesn’t and it doesn’t mean that best buy is a scam.
But sorry to hear that FusionCash didn’t work for you. But it’s really unfair to make a blanket statement like that. And you’re not the only one, too many people in the work at home world do this. And granted a lot of the stuff out there is crap but companies shouldn’t be accused of being a scam because it didn’t work for you.
I reviewed Ameriplan http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/09/25/is-ameriplan-usa-a-work-at-home-scam/ a few months ago and gave my personal experience about it but didn’t call it a scam because it didn’t work for me. Why? Because I knew other people were making money with it so how I can make that call. So keep that in mind folks.
But thanks for your feedback. We love both the positive and negative stuff.

ReplyHow much did fusioncash pay you to write that article? They do pay you, yes, but most of the time for the paid and risk free trial offers, you will not see a penny of that money unless you’re one of their favorites.
I conducted my own study on this company. There’s a forum in which you can discuss many of the offers and such and if you’re one to kiss the owners and moderators tails, then your offers approve 9 times out of 10. If you discuss the flaws with the site and/or question the ethics of the site, your offers only approve at the rate of 2 out of every 10.
Myself and 19 of my friends conducted this study over a two month period. 10 of us sucked up to the administrator and moderator while the other 10 done everything they could to get on their nerves. What did we find? We all done the same offers and the ones who got on their nerves averaged about $21.83 in earnings while the suck ups got an average of $117.47.
When questioning why an offer hasn’t approved I was told that they only pay out when they get paid from the advertiser. My cousin works for Stamps.com in the affiliate department and verified that payments were sent, but none of us received the credit for it.
Scam? Not in essence, but they’re crooked and will bend you over if you’re not on their good side.
ReplyHey Joey,
Thanks for your comments. I always love to have intellectual debates with other users.
First and foremost, I wasn’t paid to write the article.
But yes I’ve actually worked with Fusion Cash and made money from them. It’s the only reason I decided to write the article to share my experience with others so they can make their own decisions. I even pointed out the things that would turn people off about fusion cash.
So I’m not hiding my relationship with fusion cash. But I wouldn’t put my reputation out on the line if I didn’t believe the company was reputable. Now with that said, are they perfect?
Nope. but find a company that is and I always find someone that has something negative to say. No company is without faults. I love jetblue but I’ve had some horrible experiences with them. But for the most part the other experiences tended to be good. Does it make Jetblue a scam?
The fact of the matter is that you and your friends did make money. I don’t know why anyone would purposely want to annoy the people that make you money to test some theory about favoritism. Umm if people that are cooperative tend to have no problems then the answer is simple. Be cooperative.
Problem solved!
I was a member a prior to the introduction to the forum so all I focused on was just doing my offers and making money.
So I have no experience or comments either way about that forum situation and how it could possibly affect your offers income.
But personally I would just focus on doing the offers and ignore trying to flame fires in the forum.
At the end of the day you and your friends did make money and that’s what we’re trying to help people do here.
Are some people going to experience problems with Fusion Cash or any company, probably. But for the most part people will make money like you and your friends did and at the end of the day that’s what people visiting workathomenoscams.com are looking for.
But with that said I can appreciate your point of view and glad you could share it with the rest of the folks that will consider fusion cash.
At the end of the day it will be up to them to make their own decisions based on the experiences that you and I have laid out here.
I’m just happy they can get the full spectrum with comments like yours.
So thanks so much for participating on our blog.
Hope to see you back again soon.

ReplyWell, the writer is getting a referral fee everytime someone signs up using the link he has above. So, he is profiting from this article.
ReplyAre we going to do this again? I’ve already stated several times that I work with the company. Obviously if someone signs up I’ll get a referral commission. But what you seem to be missing is the fact that I’ve actually mentioned the negative qualities about the program.
If I were just profit motivated as you’re implying, my review would go something like this. Fusion Cash is wonderful. It’s perfect. Go Sign up right now, you’ll become rich.
But no I actually tell you the negative qualities about the program and how to get around it. This way people make an educated choice. There are enough people that are being one sided with calling everything a scam or saying every opportunity is perfect.
My reviews are just based on my experience. So if people can relate to my experience and they sign up, that’s great for me because I get paid. But more importantly I help them find a way to make money as well.
And judging by the comments of my subscribers they are making money with my recommendations: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/04/24/success/
So I don’t make apologies for recommending companies that I’ve made money with and pay me to refer other people who can make money too.
Take care.
Eddy
ReplyI hear what all of you are saying. I have come to the conclusion though that all of you are right. If you make even a dime from one of these companies, it’s a dime more than you had before. I tell people at the DHS office where I work this all the time when they complain about not getting enough benefits. The problem is, the return on your time. If you want to earn a living, even if you are making a million bucks on a sale, you have to have enough return to support your habits. A million bucks is a lot, but if you go out and spend that million bucks on a house and have no money left to pay utilities and other expenses, what have you gained? You’re going to loose your million dollar home because you can’t pay the taxes (which are out of your control)
Replyyour only profit overall would be that you got to live in a million dollar home temporarily. Somewhat of a gain, because now you know what it takes to live in a million dollar home however temporary it may be, and you can duplicate that effort if the occasion arises, maybe next time having a little money left over so you can enjoy your efforts longer. The point being, if you earn something, or get it given to you, how is it going to fit into your scheme of life? Blow your dime on a piece of bubble gum, or save it and add it to a collection to get something more. NO I am rich and my base salary is barely able to pay the expenses I have chosen for myself, but if everyone that reads this wants to send me a dime, I’ll except it. I’d except pennies to. Have you heard of the guy who built a house out of all the junk the neighbors didn’t want? Or the woman who really truly built a house after she bought a portable sawmill and used trees that nobody else would pay for. She lives in Central ILLINOIS and I’ve seen her house. Lots better than the house I live in. So think about it. If you aren’t making enough threshold money for yourself, rethink what you are doing.
Jackie,
I couldn’t have said it better. You’re one of the few people that totally understands why I recommend multiple streams of little income for certain people looking for work at home.
Thanks for your comment! It was brilliant and appreciated.
Eddy
Replythanx soo much!! I am in college and because of this site i was able to weed out all the bs scam pages and find something to get me a little income. Fusion cash is def a good website. Thanx soo much
ReplyYou’re quite welcome Alexandria!
I’m glad we’ve been able to help you avoid scams and introduce you to different ways to make money at home.
I love hearing comments like that.

ReplyI think this is a great article. I work with Fusion cash a lot and it’s actually the only one that ever has paid me. So if you think it’s a scam I guess you just had a bad experience. It takes a lot of time and patience to make money online and if you have that then Fusion cash is the way to go.
ReplyHi Philthy,
Thanks for sharing your experience with Fusion Cash. I agree it’s definitely a nice way to make money online if you’re organized and understand the pitfalls of certain offers. But it does pay off.
Eddy
ReplyHow often does fusion cash pay out their members?
ReplyI just signed up, and also did 2 free offers, yet, I haven’t seen a penny in my PayPal account, not even the instant $5.00 for sign-up at their website.
Hi Tara,
You should read their faq section. It answers these questions and others you may have.
Like most work at home programs you’re paid the following month for the work that you put in the month before. So if you worked in October you wouldn’t get paid until sometime in November.
So that’s why you haven’t seen a dime in your paypal account. Hopefully this helps. But go and read the faq on their site so you understand how the site works and avoid any confusion.
Eddy
ReplyUnfortunately, the TOS said that onlu US residents can register on this site
ReplyHi Mike,
Unfortunately that is the case for so many of the non-traditional work at home opportunities we discuss on this blog. It’s just a sad reality we can’t do much about. But you may want to visit our international page for some other options to consider:

ReplyHi Eddy, I just have a few quick questions before I *might* sign up.
ReplyFirst, how old do you have to be to sign up?
Second, should i use a proxy server to hide my IP address? Because I don’t want anyone calling me.
And third, I kind of beleive this site is legit, but i kind of don’t at the same time. The reason is when it asks for your email and stuff, if you go to tools, and then page info when you are at fusioncash, it says there is no site encryption, therefore people can see your private data. Please help!
Well stated Eddy.
Fusion Cash is one of the best GPT sites on the internet. If you are careful about the offers you try, you can make decent part time income. They have paid me, unlike so many other scam sites. Give FC a try.
ReplyHey Eddy I’m also a member of fusion cash. But i was wondering have you tried out cashcrate? It’s just like fusion cash but i think it’s better because you get paid to shop, do surveys, sign up for newsletters, take quizes, do offers, and you get 20% of your first level referrals and 10% of you second level referrals…. REMOVED BY ADMIN… It also the pay on average is $100-$250 if you can devote 3 hours a week to the site and if you don’t believe me use my referral url found by clicking my name to visit the forums and look at the checks yourself.
ReplyYes I’ve heard of good things about Cashrate and I’m very familiar with their program. However all the ways you discussed to get paid is also offered by Fusion Cash. So it’s another great alternative.
P.S. You can promote yourself in comments on a blog by entering your referral url in the field assigned for that. If you provide some useful non-self promoting feedback, Then people will click on your name. Blogs just like forums don’t allow self promotion otherwise we’ll get filled with every affiliate posting affiliate links instead of useful comments. I’ve taken the liberty of placing your affiliate link in the appropriate place. Take care.
Replyty so much eddy for introducing me to this site its a great way to earn some extra cash. I like to do the dailys (those alone rack in 50 bucks a month). It doesn’t replace my job, but its nice to earn a little extra cash for practically nothing.
ReplyYou’re welcome Chris!
ReplyI love your whole website, Eddy. You’re the reason why I signed up for YouData and so many other fantastic work at home websites. I wouldn’t be making the money I do now if it wasn’t for your recommends!
Thanks a bunch! I don’t regret subscribing to your blog and can’t wait for future opportunities you might come up with!
ReplyHey Christina,
Well I’m happy you don’t regret signing up for my blog either. Hey at the end of the day you had nothing to lose since it’s all free. lol
But I appreciate the sentiments. Always makes me feel good to hear when people are taking action and making money instead of complaining that they can’t or everything is a scam.
There are a lot of opportunities out there if you have an open mind and willing to start small and work you way up. So keep it up.

Sorry you’re too young for this or any of the opportunities discussed on this site.
ReplyHey Eddy under the terms of service it says if your 13 -17 you can register for an account but with parental permission, is that right because I’m 16 and I have parental permission so does that mean I can register for an account.
ReplyWell I see you’ve read my article carefully because you actually read the terms and conditions of the site.
ReplyIn any event, you read the site and you seem to fit the age group. So I guess you can give it a shot. But to be sure contact Fusion Cash directly on their site. This way you don’t end up wasting your time if you don’t qualify. Hope this helps.
Hey,i was wondering which website works the best between Cashcrate,Treasure Trooper,and Fusion Cash. And bythe way,great article.
ReplyWilson,
Truth be told they’re all pretty much the same. As long as you follow the advice I provided in my get paid offers scam article, you can do well either company:
Replyhttp://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/05/07/getpaidtotryoffers/ Most of the complaints about these companies is because people don’t understand how to make money with get paid offers, or just don’t like the business model.
But if you read that article you can decide if you want to pursue this type of opportunity. If you do you’ll be in a better place to make money with it than losing it. The one piece advice I must give is that if you join all 3 companies you can’t do
the same offers. On each site you would have to do totally different offers. So keep that in mind otherwise you may not get credit for them. Good luck.
Have you found, or has anyone else, found that signing up for multiple sites like this, say fusioncash and Cashcrate results in multiple offers? For example both offer netflix, or what have you.
ReplyHi Lib,
Yes its very common to see the same offers on various sites. However it’s against the rules to do the same ones on each site. So if you did Netflix on Fusion Cash, you shouldn’t be doing the same offer at Cashrate. This type of stuff is usually buried in the terms and services of each site. It’s also a lot of the reasons why some folks don’t credited for a given offer and later complain these get paid offer sites are a scam. So keep that in mind.
ReplyI recently joined fusion cash and I haven’t been doing too bad, but I have a problem getting referrals. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
ReplyHi,
Read this article:
Replyhttp://www.workathomenoscams.com/affiliatemarketing
Eddy… I had joined FC close to a year ago but was never really active until last fall. Since then I have received my first payment and am well on my way to my second. I noticed that this article was fairly old and wanted to let newcomers know a few things about FC. 1) FC is definitely not a scam; it may be possible that one of the offer companies may be a scam in that they fail to pay like promised, but FC itself is very good about paying its members. And if they hear complaints about a particular offer, they usually will pull that offer off of their site. This leads me to 2) they have a very active forum. Some of the threads in the forums talk about particular offers… esp. those that fail to pay, or little hiccups that would prevent a particular offer from being counted. 3) They have made the forum even more active by actually paying members to write in the forum. Each month that a member has posted to the forum 30 or more times, they will give that member a $3 bonus. Which brings me to 4) how easy it is to get paid by them! They now have a daily e-mail offer worth 2-cents along with their daily Paid to Click offer worth 15 cents. If you are consistent at doing those daily offers, in 90 days you’d accumulate over the $15 offer-threshold needed to get paid. Tack on the monthly $3 forum bonus for 3 months (eg 90 days), plus any other bonus (eg Facebook bonus for becoming a fan, payment bonus for posting your previous payment, or even the sign-up bonus just for joining and completing your first offer) or other offers, and you can easily reach the $25 minimum payout threshold (to get paid you need $25 total in your account with $15 coming from offers, not bonuses) in 90 days. Who wouldn’t like an extra $100 every year?! Esp for working only 10-minutes each day (to complete the daily offers and write one message in the forums).
Not to mention, all that I listed above is just if you work FC alone. They also have a very nice referral program. Veterans of the site (like OldBuddy that had made a comment above) that have many referrals can accumulate a sizable bonus from them. They might rack up an extra $10, $50, even $100 in bonuses from refs by the time they reach the $15 offer-threshold and can get their payment.
And the FC community is also a lot of fun! Because of their forum bonus, the forums have become very active with people talking about not only the offers on FC, but anything else under the sun. The FC admin also has various surprise promotions and games on the forums for some extra fun (and money
). A couple of Sundays ago, they ran a mystery promotion in which I happened to be lucky and got an extra $2.
If anyone was skeptical before, they should really go a give this site a try. This has become a mainstay in my online work, and I plan to continue working with this site for years to come.
ReplyHey Larry,
Thanks for such a detailed comment. It’s funny I was actually talking to the owner Tyler writing an update post to really highlight all the improvements made. It’s one of the many items on my list of things. But your comment pretty much covers all the things I planned to cover. So I may just copy and paste your comment now that you did all the work. lol
I’ve manly focused on the referral side for many years because I already made money as a member. So I can definitely vouch for the income potential there as I make very good money on that front. But I recently just started to login and check out the members area again and I really loved the new inclusions of the getting paid for the FC emails, clicking on ads and watching videos. It’s really easy money and does add up like you say. The forum is definitely a lot more active and that financial incentive to participate reminds me very much of what WA does with their forum and I know it works. What stood out to me is using the forum to research offers before doing them. That’s a great tip that I will have to include in the review above among some of the other updates that need to be done. lol
All and all, I think FC has made some great changes. I also like the intro video they have included. I think that had been needed for a long time in the member areas. At the end of the day FC is definitely legitimate as you and I know. But it will pose an issue for people that aren’t organized and don’t understand how these offers work. I find that people who understand this tend to do well with FC. Whereas the folks that don’t end up losing money and then call FC a scam. So hopefully the review above and your comment gives folks something to think about if they were on the fence about this great opportunity.
Thanks again for sharing.
ReplyI read comments on other sites and learned that if ur not on there for awhile (ex.months) that your money expires. Why is that? They signed up for stuff and probably spent hours doing surveys then after a few months thier money expires with no notification.at all. Why is that?
ReplyHi Allora,
I have no idea why. Every company has different policies that we may not like. I live in a condo where there are some rules in place that don’t make any sense to me but I just know it’s part of living there.
ReplyIt’s just a matter of following them and you avoid problems. The same applies here. Just be sure to log in once a week and stay active and problem solved. It’s not something that’s hard to get around which I find humorous when people whine about stuff like this.
That is somewhat true that money in Fusion Cash will expire. Actually, it is not based on when you were last active with the site, but rather it is on a per-offer basis; according to the site “…offers and bonuses expire if not cashed out within 180 days of being credited. ” So if you’re not active for a few months, only those offers completed more than 180 days ago will expire, not your entire account balance.
That being said, there are many ways to make money, and unless you are not active on the site, you’ll probably have no trouble earning enough. In my previous post, I mentioned how it is possible to reach the payout threshold in about 90-days — half the time necessary to prevent offers from expiring. And that just requires about 10-15 minutes a day to complete. If someone actually signs up for different offers and/or takes surveys, that just makes it even easier to reach the minimum threshold.
I think FC may have this restriction for a couple of reasons (although I do not run the site so these are pure guesses on my part): 1) For accounting purposes. Even normal paychecks, rebates, and other payments you may receive usually have an expiration date to prevent accounting headaches for payments that never close the loop. 2) Keep members active. In order to make enough money to cashout in 180 days, members either need to keep active doing the daily stuff for free and getting a few cents each time, or by completing a few of the bigger offers with larger payments. Either way, it ensures that their members are active, which in turn can be used to gather more advertisers. Advertisers are only willing to spend their money at a site that is active and will gain the best return on their investment (ROI in marketing slang).
ReplyLarry,
Thanks for chiming in and clearing this stuff up. I really appreciate it.
