Pending offers, and what they REALLY mean!
Here's some good info about pending offers from the Cash Crate Forums:
Q: What does it mean when an offer is Pending?
We provide the “Pending” feature only as a way for you to track the offers that you’ve done. Just because an offer is Pending does not mean it will be credited, and even if you forget to submit an offer to us, you’ll still receive credit for the offer when the company reports to us.
You may have noticed that it’s possible to submit offers to us (and give them Pending status) even if you haven’t completed them. Remember that you will only be credited for the offer when the advertiser notifies us that you have completed the offer.
Q: How long do offers stay Pending?
An offer stays pending until we receive credit for it or until two weeks have passed. If two weeks have passed without crediting, it will be removed from your Pending list and put back into your Available Offers list so you can complete it. If that same offer is eventually credited to us, we’ll credit your account regardless of whether it’s Pending or not.

How to Sort Offers
When viewing offers to complete, you are given 2 sorting options. The first is by type (100% Free, Trial, or Both), and is pretty self explanatory. The second sorting option is what I will be going into detail about.
Rating - This sorts the offers by their rate of approval. This is, to me, the most important factor.
Newest - Sorts by when the offer was posted to the site. Great if you'd done offers previously that hadn't confirmed and you don't want to re-do offers that don't work for you.
Payout - Sorts offers by their how much you get paid if you successfully complete the offer.
Cost - I always do just the 100% free offers, so I've never used this. But it sorts the trial offers by what you have to pay,
Name - Sorts the offers by name. If you go on the forum and see a lot of people having success with a particular offer, it's easy to sort by name to find that offer.

Types of Offers
Participate in the survey. and Complete the survey. - These are long, boring surveys. Go through and decline all of the offers unless you really want one. Sometimes it'll say "You must select at lease ONE of these offers." If that happens, select one, then decline it on the following page. Once you reach a CONGRATULATIONS or THANK YOU page, you're done!
Click the banner and complete the form with valid information. and Fill out the form with valid information. - Self explanatory.
Fill out the form with valid information and complete the survey. - Again, self explanatory. I'm not sure of any tricks for these surveys, so I complete everything just to be safe.
Register and confirm your email. and
Register for free. - Just register for the site. Although checking for confirmation e-mails are always important, it is absolutely VITAL to these offers.
Register with valid information and complete the survey. Click at least two offers on the "Final Steps" page. - Once you click the offer you will be prompted for your email. When you put it in you will get a silver offers pop up. All you have to do is click any two of the offers on the pop up, leave them open, and then fill out the form on your original window, then submit. You don't even have to do the survey!

Cookies
How do cookies affect your earnings? The sites you visit place a tracking cookie on your computer. You NEEd to allow these cookies to be placed in order to be credited. However, a huge tip I learned was that you also need to remove these cookies once you're done.
As you know, many sites have multiple offers. Take a look at this example:
Say you go to OFFER A on COMPANY1's website. COMPANY1 will place a tracking cookie to register that you were there. Move down to your list of offers, and you'll come across OFFER X which also happens to be from COMPANY1. If that cookie is still there, COMPANY1 will just say "Oh, she's already been here." and you won't be credited. But, if you've already deleted that tracking cookie, COMPANY1 will not see an already placed tracking cookie, and you will be seen as a new visitor and credited for the work.

Your E-mail Address
You will need a junk e-mail address for using Cash Crate, unless you want your regular address constantly spammed. Since many Cash Crate offers come from the same site, you may be not be credited if you use the same e-mail address on multiple offers. I recommend G-mail because they have one feature other sites do not.
With Gmail, you can set up an e-mail address consisting of up to 30 characters. Gmail's special feature is that after you set up your e-mail account, you can edit the address by adding periods. This changes your e-mail address on the sites you input it into, but all mail is delivered to the same address.
For example, you can sign up with an e-mail address of myemailaddress@gmail.com. When you enter it into a webside, simply alter the address by adding periods. You can use:
m.yemailad.dress@gmail.com
my.emailadd.ress@gmail.com
mye.mailaddr.ess@gmail.com
myem.ailaddre.ss@gmail.com
myema.iladdres.s@gmail.com
myemai.laddress.@gmail.com
m.yemail.address@gmail.com
my.emaila.ddress@gmail.com
mye.mailad.dress@gmail.com
...and so on, adding as many periods as you'd like!
