So it finally happened to me after reading about it happening to so many others. Had been on here for a solid year, earning as much as $60 a month. Just cashed out for 5 bucks and immediately I can't get back into my account & says I've been banned. These people are slimy! Another issue I had with them is I was signed up to do a $100 survey. They confirmed with me multiple times, both through calls and emails. Then literally 30 seconds before the interview was scheduled to start, they cut me and offered $20. I raised a stink since I had scheduled my whole day around this and ended up getting the original $100 offered. By the way, none of the emails indicated that being cut at the last second was even a possibility.
Well, I have been a member for quite a few months now and they decided to shut down my account yesterday because I have been logging in at work. They also shut down two other people in my office. I explained to support that our server is based in another state but they do not care. The funny thing is that they shut it down right after I cased out for another gift card. I hear they are doing that to a lot of people these days. You have been warned! You might spend a week answering questions, only to get shut down when you go to cash out.
I love working the reviews on Crowdtap, I have been a Tapper for a few years and have always enjoyed receiving full size samples and gift cards to my favorite places to shop. No problem with this company. Keep up the good work, I look forward to this everyday.
I absolutely love Crowdtap! I even got the girls at work hooked on it! It is awesome to be able to try different products for free and be able to leave your honest feedback about the products! Since I have been signed up with Crowdtap I have had over $180.00 in gift certificates for Amazon! I just can't get enough! <3
I give crowdtap a two star rating on account they actually pay fairly good. But i and most everyone i know have gotten blocked. I got blocked with no warning, have contacted support 4 times on what i did wrong, and nothing, no answer back, no reason why i got blocked, nothing. So if you plan on joining their team, enjoy it while it last, cause it will not last.
Well where do I begin I've been to survey site after survey site click enter click enter. It seemed everything is dull and gray until I came across Crowdtap. It's just not about answering questions you get to participate with actually products, where companies actually take in everything you "the consumer" has to say so I ask you,"what are YOU waiting for? Come On and join the fun at Crowdtap
I have been a member of crowdtap for a while now. I recently had my account disabled and contacted customer support. They told me that my account would not be reinstated but did not give me a reason. I answered survey questions to the best of my ability but prior to my account being disabled I had an error with a survey that could not be skipped. I'm angry because I spent a lot of time answering surveys and had accumulated 15.00 that I cannot retrieve. They need to change their policy and at least explain their reasoning for disabling accounts. I wrote to them a second time and have not received a response.
This site has given me so many opportunities! I get free samples so often and get gift cards in exchange for my review and doing a few surveys! I've probably earned about $100 in the last 6 months alone! I love this site!
Hey, Jessica! We're glad to hear you love Crowdtap. Thank you for your review.
I was a member of Crowdtap for a long time. Recently, they blocked my account, gave me no actual reason, and refused to budge on it. Also, recently, I have been getting a high number of personal questions in regard to my political, religious, and Covid-19 views and beliefs. In my eyes, I did not violate any of their policies or rules. They ask for honest answers where there are no wrong answers. I'm going to take a guess that someone did not like my views or take on something I was questioned about and decided to permanently block me. There could be no other explanation since I have been a long-time member.
Ive been a member on Crowdtap since 2017 and love it. Ive tried lots of different sites that promise rewards for surveys or actions and always ended up disappointed by the crazy amount of points you would need to actually earn anything. Crowdtap has very reasonable and achievable point goals. Ive managed to earn myself quite a few giftcards from them along with that theres product sampling for full size products. You wont always get approved for the samples but the points you earn towards giftcards makes up for it. Theyve recently kinda relaunched the site and added options to what giftcards you can earn, going from only amazon giftcards to a pretty nice sized selection to choose from. Or you can choose to donate your points or get subscriptions to things like hulu instead. Short surveys, fast rewards, free samples. I havent been able to find a better site yet.
I love crowdtap for the samples and the gift cards. I usually earn a $ 5.00 gift card every 1-2 weeks so I don't know how anyone earns $ 600 a year. They are easy to do and I have learnt about a lot of new products! I have never had a problem with them paying and have received many samples to try. Great site and I will continue to use them.
I have only been with Crowdtap for a couple of months, but so far, I thoroughly have enjoyed it! Looking forward to doing my first review of a product I received today and I'm happy to do it! The site is easy to use and has fun surveys.
Glad to hear it, Kelli. Thank you for your review!
Transparency lacking. If an account has been deactivated, I was informed that we are unable to site specifics due to security reasons. That they standby their security software to detect and/or flag certain accounts. Therefore, you're unable to verify that you're in violation of their terms of service and/or no recourse of action. But good to know for future and discerning credibility of products and/or businesses soliciting real reviews, etc.
It an ok website, get free samples, can earn gift cards, my only complaint is all the hoops you have to jump get any also how long it takes about a month to earn enough points to get 5 dollars, same with samples there aren't always opportunities and they aren't guaranteed
Thank you for your review, Sherri. It's true that depending on how much time you spend on the site, it may take you more time to earn points to redeem. As you also know, some actions offer more points than others. It's also true that to redeem points for gift cards members must verified their accounts, but that's for the good of the community overall. You can read more about why we do this here: https://support.crowdtap.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2957779-crowdtap-bans-or-denies-verifications-right-before-members-are-able-to-redeem-rewards-
So far it was a great experience. But since Last week, I did not receive any gift cards after 4 business days. I'm supposed to receive 2 amazon gift cardas, got the email from them "Rewards is on your way", did not reach to me. I emailed to Team members, did not get any reply.
Very upset!
Crowdtap is so very simple to navigate and only takes a few minutes of time each day. Today I received my sample kit! Full size samples to try and review is so simple. Take a survey and earn points for gift cards!
I have been a member for about 2 years now. I love it! You get to try things you may never have known about. You also get points for all the questions you answer. You can trade them in for gift cards.
Thank you for the review, BJ. Love that you showed off your Crowdkits.
I found crowdtap browsing through the internet trying to find sites that give away free samples. Well this site you take surveys, and NO you do NOT have to post everything you do on their to your social media. I SWEAR by this site, especially if you have a LOT of free time, but if not you can do a little each day. It does take time, so be patient! You receive a $5 amazon gift card code in your email each time you level up, trust me it adds up! Crowdtap also gives free samples but it can also be full sized products! I love Crowdtap and it's not a scam, but please be patient don't give up too quickly. It's basically free money!
I was warned about this site by my friend they ban you for no reason. Wait until you here the reason they told me identified suspect account activity and couldnt give me any specifics. The person who told me this her name was Christina and she was very rude. I will not reccommend this site to anyone and it seems like a common theme they ban a lot of good members and give some stupid reason. I always answered honestly and put a lot of thought into my answers.
Tip for consumers:
Dont use it they will ban you and with hold gift cards from you.

Crowdtap.com uses a point system for each survey. Take surveys, earn points and then go shopping. 5 minutes is all it takes. Thanks Crowdtap.com for being the best out there.
I joined crowdtap a year ago and I do like the samples but you have to sign up fast and be approved to receive each sample. You answer all kinds of questions to earn points which isint to bad but they want you to constantly take pics and post them. They are approved by other members. I just don't feel it's worth it anymore. It takes a long time to get to 1000 points to only earn a $5 gift card.

Thank you, Joy, for your review. We're glad you're enjoying the platform and are earning rewards!
Like many other people they closed my account without reason or explanation after I accumulated a bunch of points. I had enough for over $100 and as soon as I redeemed $60 worth they shut my account without sending my gift cards. This is a common practice. They have 1/5 stars on BBB. They are a shady company. Do not use
I belonged to this platform for 4 years, I came from answering the reviews honestly, after being inactive for a few months I returned to the platform and I received many surveys to answer, many of them were double and I answered them and for no reason my account was deleted I tried to contact them and they never answered my emails... bad experience
Well, the thing is after you qualify and try to cash out they don't let you!
Id been trying to redeem my points but they keep coming back for no reason, is like they don't want you to get your freaking money, This is the most stupid thing i've ever seen in my life.
Have been trying for months to validate my account so I can redeem my points to no avail... and have applied to sample with no response or follow up. So much better before the upgrade. Please just go back to the way it was!
