Q: How to sign up for Special Offers?

A: Here are the basic steps for a successful registration:
  1. Log in to your Cashfiesta account.
  2. Go to Special Offers section. Special Offers available through the "Fast Money" page have a guaranteed Special Offers' payrate of 1,000 points = $1 plus they will increase your Individual Payrate (this is the payrate for your barpoints, bonus points and referral points) for the month they have been signed up in. You will find out about how Special Offers change your Individual Payrate on the bottom of your MyStatistics page in the "Individual Payrate" table.
  3. Review carefully the lists of Special Offers and choose the ones that are available for your country and you are interested in. If you have any problems finding the offers suitable for you go to "All Offers" page, which is the last item in the menu on the left side of the Special Offers section. There you can quickly find important information such as Special Offer name, Points granted, Country Availability and Credit card requirement.
  4. Once you have chosen a Special Offer click on its banner (or the name of the Special Offer if you are on the "All Offers" page). A Guide Page will open. Clicking on the "Sign Up" button will redirect you to the Advertiser's page and it will notify their system that you are coming from Cashfiesta. However, BEFORE clicking on the "Sign Up" button, make sure you have carefully read the instructions on the left side of the page. These instructions are Cashfiesta's way to help you sign up successfully.
  5. After you go to the advertiser's page do all the things that are required for a successful sign up in order to get points from Cashfiesta. Some Special Offers (mainly Casino offers) require that members use the same e-mail address as in their Cashfiesta registration. However, this will be specifically mentioned in the instructions on the Guide Page of the Special Offer.
  6. Have patience while we receive confirmation for your registration from the advertiser. It usually takes up to 8 weeks.

When you sign up for Casino offers you have to deposit and wager a certain amount of money (usually $50- $60)! It is a good idea to play in the casino in at least two different days. If you haven't fulfilled any of the requirements we won't get a confirmation and we won't be about to credit your account with the respective points!

top


Q: How often do you add new offers?

A: We add up to 10 new Special Offers every month. You can easily recognize the new Special Offers by the blinking tag "New" on the right side of each offer.
top



Q: How long does it take to see the Special Offer points in my account?

A: The points from Special Offers are not automatically added to your account. We have to receive a confirmation from our affiliate partner so there may be a delay of up to 8 weeks.
top



Q: I have already signed up for an offer available on your Special Offers page. Will I receive credits from Cashfiesta if I sign up again?

A: We can't guarantee that you'll get credited if you sign up for an offer you have already registered for, as some of our affiliate partners do not report duplicate signups.
top



Q: I have subscribed for several Special Offers but haven't received credit for all of them. Why?

A: Subscribing for ALL of our Special Offers requires that you first log in to your account and use your exact e-mail address that exists in our database. If you think that Cashfiesta.com did not award you for a registration you are sure you did properly, please write us at and we will investigate your case. Please include your e-mail & login name for Cashfiesta.com, the name of the Special Offer you signed up for and the month when you did your registration.

top



Q: I had the FiestaBar™ running but got a "lost connection" message and when reconnected some of the points I had accumulated had disappeared. Why?

A: The FiestaBar™ periodically tries to connect to the server and refresh information. If the FiestaBar™ loses connection with the server, the points you see accumulating may not always transfer to your account, and you can loose around 5 points that you have accumulated after the FiestaBar™'s last connection to the server.
top



Q: I had accumulated bar points but the next time I run the FiestaBar™ it shows I have "0" points. Why?

A: This happens when you start the FiestaBar™ for the first time in the current month - then only the current month points are shown on the FiestaBar™. You can see the bar points you had previously accumulated in the last month statistics on My Statistics page.
top



Q: The new month has begun but I can still see the points I have accumulated in the previous month on the FiestaBar counter. Why this happens?

A: We usually update the earnings statistics and reset the FiestaBar™ counter to "0" on the first day of the month. Under very unusual circumstances, we may do that with a few days delay. In this case your points from the previous month will continue to accumulate on the FiestaBar™ counter. After we do the update and reset the counter, you will be able to see these points in your statistics in the section "Last Month" and the new points you accumulate will be shown on the FiestaBar™ as usual.
