Is Key for Cash Legit or a 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.

This service's rating has dropped extremely poorly. When I first started out, the pay was $.75 Now it is $.30. I think even though they are not a scam? They do however take advantage of people with the lower rates due to people needing money for expenses.

KeyForCash is a legit work-at-home "job"...I have gotten paid twice from them. The only drawback is that there is not always work to be keyed, so do not go into this thinking it will be a steady source of income for you.

Good luck and Happy Keying!!

Well this week only I got call from KFC and did start working, but the payout is now @ .10/1000 character. Its very low, one can understand. But as you don't have work you have to continue with them. About payment I am not sure, will have to wait for a month, then will analyze whether its genuine or not.

Key for cash is no place to work. They treat their workers terribly!! They lowered the pay down to .25 per 1000 keystrokes. There has not been work for some time now. It is not even worth your time as it will not even pay for your electric while waiting for work!!! Run as fast as you can from working there!!!!! You can do much better!!!!!!

I currently work for key for cash. I have always been paid. The only down side is it usually takes almost 30 days to receive your pay check in the mail. But they do pay you. It is a good place to work. It is by far a way to make a living though. It is good to get extra cash to spend.

I just started about a 2 months ago. They showed on my account online that my payment date was 2/20/11 and said they are usually mailed 5 days later. It is now 3/11/11 and I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE CHECK. I've emailed them twice now (the only way you can contact them) and they Still haven't replied...and that has been over a week ago. I'm starting to wonder and if my check doesn't come soon, I'll be filling a complaint with the better business bureau.

I just signed up. The rate is now $0.20 per 1000 keystrokes. Ridiculous. I just spent 30 minutes. Not typing terribly fast, but typing at a normal speed. (I originally scored in the 100th percentile) And I now have $1.34. That means if I continue I'll be making about $2.60 an hour. If I were a kid, this would be awesome. But I think my time is worth more than that. I wanted to make at least minimum wage and this doesn't even let you do that. For a contracted job it pays extremely low.

I do appreciate that there is no selling or referring of any sort. I might continue if I'm really really bored.

I signed up with KFC sometime in August. I scored very well (98th percentile) and had forgotten until I got an email yesterday. The pay is a lot lower than I thought, but it's something I can do from home while watching tv, or just hanging out with my roommate. Tonight was my first go and I already have close to $8 in my account with close to 1000 items waiting to be confirmed. It's nothing to quit your job over, but the extra income will definitely be appreciated.

I remember signing up for Key For Cash last year. I just got an acceptance email today and started tonight. The pay rate right now or at least for me is $0.20 per 1000 characters. (I'm reading a lot of you guys are at .40 /characters. I don't know if they have change the pay rate or why is it different for me.) I'm a really fast typer, so I'll see how this goes, I'm usually online staring at the screen for nothing so might as well make a little income on the side.

I have been with KFC since 2001. Ive always been paid when they said they would pay. I think this is a great way to make extra money....as long as you keep in mind that it is just extra money. At times the work is slow....but with patience and willingness to check the site often there will be work. Some weeks are better than others,. I love the work and will continue as long as they have work coming in. Thanks KFC!!

Keys for cash was a very good experience for us,at a time of crises they(keys for cash)came threw.With promptness and professionalism. We received 1500.00 dollars at a time that this was needed,due to my heart condition.Except I don't understand why they didn't just let us keep the house/with us making payments.I reckon it was a money thing(OH!!Well!!)I want to take the time to Thank them for a well needed service.Thank-You donna

It took me three months to get hired with Key For Cash and I have been working for a total of 7 months. Currently, the pay rate is $.40 per 1,000 keystrokes and you receive your payment about 3 weeks after you reach an account total of $50. The work is very sporadic, and I average about $51.00 a month. By no means is this to be used to as the primary source of income, but as a graduate student, I find it nice that I have $50 extra dollars coming in a month for miscellaneous expenses.

It only took me three days to be excepted into their program I took their test for two days and on the third day received an e-mail saying I was accepted. This all sounded great, except for the fact that they only pay .20 cents for every 1000 keystrokes. I type approximately 60 wmp and even so would only make approximately $3.60 an hour if all of my keystrokes are "accepted." You have "slides" and most you cannot read in which case you just type enter and that does not count for a keystroke and the other ones are blank. In about an hour I had just over a dollar in my account with over 500 unconfirmed strokes.
