Q: How to sign up for Special Offers?
A:
Here are the basic steps for a successful registration:
- Log in to your Cashfiesta account.
- 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

If you have followed the instructions but still can't start the FiestaBar™,
email
with "FiestaBar Problems" in the subject field
and the error message you got in the body of the message.
Q: Do the files I have to download in order to run the FiestaBar™ infringe on my privacy?
A: The FiestaBar™ shows you advertising banners and thus allows you to earn FiestaBar points.
The only purpose of the files you download is to assure the smooth functioning of the FiestaBar™.
We do not install any additional components to gather information about you or your surfing habits.
Q: Are there any software or hardware requirements for using FiestaBar™?
A: There are some minimum program requirements - you should have installed
at least Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 6 versions. There are no specific hardware requirements.
Q: Is FiestaBar™ compatible with Mac OS?
A: No, it is not. Due to the small number of Mac users compared to the number of PC users,
we will not release Mac version of FiestaBar™ in the nearest future.
Q: How can I uninstall the FiestaBar™?
A: You can uninstall the FiestaBar™ just as any other program on your computer.
Go to Settings/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs.
Q: I have already installed the previous version of FiestaBar™ - how can I update it and switch to the new one?
A: The previous version of FiestaBar™ will be updated to the new one automatically when you log in to your FiestaBar™.
Q: When does FiestaBoy go to sleep?
A: If there are no ads on FiestaBar™ for some reason.
FiestaBoy will sleep and the dollar icon in your systray will be red.
When an ad appears, move your mouse pointer over FiestaBar™ to wake up FiestaBoy.
Q: What to do when FiestaBoy goes to sleep?
A: Depending on what picture and instructions you will be shown you have to do one of the following:
- if you see this picture 
in the left corner move your mouse pointer over FiestaBar™ to wake up FiestaBoy.
- if you see this picture 
in the left corner click on the sleeping FiestaBoy,
and then you will be prompted to take same action to wake it up - usually you will have just to click
on the FiestaBoy walking in the advertising space.
Q: What happens when FiestaBoy sleeps?
A: FiestaBoy sleeping - you are not earning points.
If he's taking a siesta, there's no Cashfiesta!
Click on FiestaBoy to resume your session. FiestaBoy walking - you are earning points.
Q: Does clicking on banners increase the points I earn from the bar?
A: Cashfiesta encourages members to explore and sign up for offers if they are interested in them.
Clicking on banners by itself doesn't increase your bar points.
Q: Is there a limit on the hours I can use the FiestaBar™?
A: No, currently we have no limit on the hours you can spend online while using the Cashfiesta services.
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.
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.
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.
Q: Can FiestaBar™ work if I am using a proxy?
A: Yes, it can. The FiestaBar™ uses your default IE proxy settings.
If you want to use a proxy you have to specify it in your IE settings.
Q: I receive "Cannot establish connection to Cashfiesta servers.
Please check your internet connection and settings." What to do?
A: Most probably either your connection is unstable or slow. Contact your Internet provider for assistance.
Q: How do I move FiestaBar™ up and down?
A: Click the arrow in the top-left corner of the FiestaBar™.
It allows you to position the FiestaBar™ top or bottom of your screen.

A: Go to SETTINGS button of the bar menu, then check Manual from the Launch options on the screen.
Q: Can I change the skin of the FiestaBar™ and how can I do it?
A: The FiestaBar™ has a default skin and several skin options to choose from.
To change the skin go to the Settings button which will open a new window
where you can choose the desired skin from the Skins dropdown menu.
Q: How can I re-open the FiestaBar™ after I hide it?
A: You can open it from the systray icon

Q: How will I know how many people I have referred?
A: You can see it either on your FiestaBar™ Referrals counter or on
My Statistics page.
Q: How will I know how much money I have earned?

in a given month and the payment method you choose. You can always check your current month points
and last and previous months' earnings on My Statistics page.
Q: When will I know my last month earnings?
A: As we need to receive confirmation from our affiliate partners for the Special Offers completed
during each month, there is a delay of up to 8 weeks before your individual payrate can be calculated
and your points converted to cash. For example, your earnings for April will appear in the
"Last Month" table on My Statistics page by end of May.
Q: Are my last month earnings included in the "unpaid" field?
A: The amount in the "unpaid" field of the "Previous Months" table doesn't include your last month earnings.
You can see these earnings in the "Last Month" table as soon as we calculate your individual payrate for the month.
Q: Why do the Special Offers I signed up for during the last month not appear when I click the "Special Offers Done" button?

during previous months only. You can see the Special Offers you signed up for during
the last month in a drop-down menu in the "Last Month" table on
My Statistics page.
Q: What are "Special Offers Available"?
A: The "Special Offers Available" button shows you a list of Special Offers available
for your region that you haven't signed up for yet.
Q: What are my potential earnings as a member?

Special Offers you sign up for. The biggest check we have sent by now is for $553.

to receive their checks.
