KeyForCash.com Review

Is Key For Cash Another Data Entry Scam?

KeyForCash.com is a very different kind of work at home data entry program. When you visit their site the first thing you'll notice is that you're not bombarded with pictures of fancy cars, million dollar mansions, and bursting bank accounts.

This fact alone is enough to separate KeyForCash.com from the rest of the bogus data entry from home sites.

...So is Key For Cash a legit program or a cleverly disguised scam?

For starters KeyForCash.com does not advertise their services and have become popular simply through word of mouth advertising. This goes a long way to proving their legitimacy since advertising costs money, and the companies doing it are obviously looking to recoup their investment from you.

The next thing you'll notice about KeyForCash.com is that there is no cost to sign up. Registering to receive work from them will not cost you anything, just enter in some basic info, name, address, and email.

So is this a legit program? The answer is yes, they have been in business since 2001 and have a history of getting people actual data entry work. Not like the rest of the B.S. data entry programs which sell you training in affiliate marketing and how to make money using AdWords.

...Are there any downsides to KeyForCash.com?

Unfortunately, this work at home opportunity is not perfect and does have its own set of drawbacks. First off it's only available to residents of the continental United States, this does make sense since most of the work is for primarily US based companies, but does leave out many applicants.

However, the most detrimental part of KeyForCash.com comes from the overwhelming demand for data entry at home work. Since there are so many people searching and applying to Key For Cash the waiting list to get in can range anywhere from 3 months to several years or at times never.

In addition, the high demand for work and the surplus of potential employees has driven labor prices way down. Last time I checked, KeyForCash employees earned 55 cents per 1,000 accurate keystrokes. Obviously this is better than nothing but it does force you to type an enormous amount to make an average hourly wage.

To many folks this wouldn't be a problem but the difficulty in earning a livable wage or substantial supplementary income is increased due to inconsistent work assignments. Some months there may be work and in some there's nothing for you.

I don't see any harm in applying to KeyForCash.com but it's good to have realistic expectations and know that just because something isn't a scam there's still no guarantee that it will work out for you.

...What to do next?

While you wait for your application to get approved at Key For Cash I would recommend checking out what I consider to be the best online job out there, and one I still use to this day to make a great living from home.

This opportunity costs nothing to start and gives you the ability to make money within an hour of starting. If you want to know more just let me know where to send you the info, Click Here.

i have recently signed up for keysforcash.com. i have too the evaluation over and over until my score was 99% above every one. I waited almost a week and a half to 2 weeks and they finally accepted me into the program. I think its a decent idea, and it does seem legit even though i havent yet earned a check yet, but it definitely requires a lot of typing for only 40 cents for 1000 keystrokes. i type between 60-70wpm. i only started a couple days ago and did a total of 3 hrs out of the 3 days. i have only made 10.05, so im sure if i worked a full 8 hrs it would only average to about 25-30.00 a day which is well below minimum wage anywhere. I went back on today and there is no work, so it's going to be impossible to make my 50.00 this week, if there isnt any work. So i don't know how long im going to continue to work for keys for cash. i'll give it another month and hope to see better results. they definitely need to raise their price to 60 cents or better.

I've been doing work for the Key for Cash program for about a year now. They are consistent to pay. The work is not always consistent and the rate keeps dropping, but it is nice to have an opportunity that pays when they say. Pay is now 0.40 per 1000 confirmed keystrokes. Luckily I am fairly fast and efficient.

What was your % when you got accepted? Wondering what they consider a good enough score, thanks!

I've been with Key for Cash for approx. 2 months. I love it! Easy money - no hassle - no gimmicks. The faster (accuracy counts too) the quicker you earn more money. I was hired within 2 weeks of applying. This is the real deal. It's great!!

I have been doing data entry online from home for Keyforcash.com for nearly a year now and I love it. I can do it on my laptop day or night at my convenience for as long or little as I can do that day. They have NEVER failed to pay me my $50 each time I reach that amount and I do not even have to ask them to, they send it automatically. I have received quite a few checks from them and all within the time they claim they will send it. The pay is 50 cents per 1000 keystrokes but in this economy and job market and with my being a stay at home mom looking for a little extra cash to help out here and there, this is a great opportunity for me and I am very grateful for it.

Keyforcash is definitely legitimate i have worked for them since April 2008 and have received all my checks from them. Some might have been slow to recieve but i got them! So good luck to all who apply!

I worked for Keyforcash.com. After finally reaching the $50.00 amount that they require, I waited for my check. THEY SENT NOTHING. When I contacted them by email (the only way to contact them), they responded that they would look into it. Now they don't respond at all. STAY AWAY FROM KEYFORCASH.COM.

Although, as Mr. Albright mentioned, it took some time (approx. 2 months) for me to be accepted(I'm assuming the wait time was shorter for me because I have an exceptionally high keying speed...although, of that I can't be sure),I have been working with Key for Cash since May '08. During this time I have found that KFC IS DEFINITELY a legitimate company and also that most everything Mr. Albright mentioned about KFC is correct. I wanted to add this update: the pay rate has gone from 55 cents per 1000 keystrokes to 50 cents per 1000 keystrokes. I would think that this is due to the number of keyers versus the amount of work available as of late. Another thing to keep in mind is that their 'pay schedule' is on a 'net 30 day cycle'. For those of you who aren't sure what that means. It means that even though your check may be cut on say Sept 3rd(as was mine this month) You may RECEIVE that check until up to 30 days later. (Mine was post-marked Sept 22nd and I received it on the 24th) HOWEVE... read more »
