Legit, but slow cheque payouts and limited earnings
Easy surveys and a user-friendly app. Canada only, $20 minimum, paid by cheque.

The short answer
Caddle is legit. It is mainly a cashback app that also pays you for easy surveys, receipt uploads and referrals.
But the only payment method is a cheque by post, from $20, and it can take up to 60 days to arrive. Most offers ask you to buy something, so the earning potential is limited. It can be a decent secondary app if you live in Canada.
- The app is user-friendly
- Survey offers are pretty easy to answer, with no pre-qualifying questions
- The referral program is straightforward and rewards quickly
- Receipt uploads give you bonus products
- Limited earning opportunities
- High payout threshold of $20
- Paid by cheque only, which can take up to 60 days
- Only available in Canada

Is Caddle legit and worth it?
Yes, Caddle is legit. It pays you for surveys and other offers. But that does not automatically make it worth your time. Here is what you should know.
- Payment by cheque only
Once you reach $20, Caddle sends you a cheque by post. It says it can take up to 60 days to arrive, and then you still have to go to the bank to cash it. This is an extremely long wait compared to other cashback apps I have tested.
- Most offers ask you to spend money
Cashback offers are by far the most common. You get a percentage or a small amount back after a purchase. Only take them for products you would buy anyway. Do not buy things just to get the reward.
- Few surveys
Surveys are easy, but they are not the main earning opportunity. If you do not like to buy things online, you will not earn much.
- Canada only, and app only
You can only join if you live in Canada and are at least 16 years old. Caddle no longer works on desktop: it is now only available as an app.
My takeAll in all, Caddle is a decent site to join if you live in Canada. Just don’t expect to earn a lot from it, and don’t expect to receive your earnings quickly because of the high payout threshold. I would say that it can serve as a decent secondary site to earn from if you are eligible to join.
Caddle pays by cheque from $20. The top sites in Canada pay faster and through PayPal.

There are 4 ways to earn. Cashback offers are the most common. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveysEasy, few
Surveys have a Survey label in the list of offers. Unlike on other survey sites, you do not answer pre-qualifying questions: you start the survey right away and get the promised reward when you finish.
Some survey offers ask you to watch a video ad first. Watch it, or you do not get the reward.
Cashback offersMost common
You buy a product, and you get a percentage or a small amount back. These are by far the most common offers on Caddle.
Only use them for products you are interested in. If you are shopping anyway, you might as well get a bit of cash back. See also the top cashback sites.
Receipt uploadBonus products
Go to the Upload Receipt section and check the offers. If an item on your receipt is in the list, take a picture of the receipt, upload it and pick the offer. The whole receipt must be in the photo, and every item must be readable. For a long receipt, you can take several photos.
You do not earn cash this way, but you get bonus products for what you buy on your normal grocery run. In my opinion, it is the one good earning opportunity on Caddle.
Referral program$1 per referral
You get $1 for every person who signs up through your invite. They only need to watch one ad and answer the questionnaire. They do not have to buy anything. The reward is small, but it takes little effort.

How much can you make?
If you do not like to buy things online, you will not earn much. You will have to rely on surveys, and they are not the main earning opportunity on Caddle.
Remember that you spend your own money to get the cashback rewards. Overall, in terms of earning potential, Caddle isn’t that good. It can serve as a decent secondary app, but you need to be patient, because the cashout threshold is quite high.
How you get paid
| Method | Minimum | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Cheque by post | $20 | Up to 60 days, according to Caddle |
Every offer you complete is credited to your Caddle account. Once you reach $20, you can request a cheque. You then have to cash it at your bank.
This is the main drawback of Caddle. If you want to get paid quickly and online, see the top sites that pay via PayPal.

“Didnt get the check….. not sure about this program….”
