“Crowdtap is a platform that connects brands with consumers to gatherr insights and promote products.”

Twyla g.
6/25/24

Crowdtap is a platform that connects brands with consumers to gather insights and promote products through sampling and reviews. Here's a review based on common user experiences: Pros: 1. **Engagement Opportunities**: Users can participate in various activities such as surveys, polls, and product sampling, which can be enjoyable and rewarding. 2. **Earn Rewards**: Participants can earn points or rewards for their contributions, which can be redeemed for gift cards or products, providing tangible benefits for their time. 3. **Product Testing**: Members often get the chance to try new products before they hit the market, allowing for early feedback and an exclusive look at upcoming items. Cons: 1. **Reward Redemption Delays**: Some users report delays in receiving rewards or difficulties in redeeming points, which can be frustrating. 2. **Limited Availability**: Opportunities can be limited based on demographics or location, meaning not all users may qualify for every campaign or activity. 3. **Technical Issues**: Occasional technical glitches with the platform may affect user experience, such as survey loading issues or login problems. Overall, Crowdtap offers an engaging way for consumers to interact with brands and earn rewards through various activities. However, like any platform, user experience may vary based on individual participation and technical factors.

“It was bound to happen eventually!”

Lisa K.
10/10/24

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.

It's a great site to earn easy rewards like amazon gift cards and test products for free. I have tried many things from them and have nothing but great things to say about them!

I really enjoy Crowdtap. I am not from America and I get te chance to know brands and try them for free. I have the chance to win gifts cards. Their surveys are fun and not exhausting at all.

On crowd tap you fill out surveys and you get points. Ever 100 points equals 1 entry into the drawing at the end of the month. Most of the time its an amazon gift card, every now and then you will see target or walmart pop up. The ebay crowd offers an ebay gift certificate. Also companies offer free samples on here and you actually get decent sizes/portions of items. The faster you sign up the higher chance you will get chosen. In the past 2 months I have recirved free samples of aveeno, sahale snacks, sweet n'low, garnier moisturizer and miceller makeup remover, and advil samples and coupons. I have also received $70 in amazon gift cards. The more surveys you answer and the crowds you join increases the chance of getting picked for a gift card at the end of the month. The more entires you have the higher the chance of your name being drawn. So no this site not a scam and it does pay out.

Love the opportunity to share my input on new products and be rewarded for my time. The new site makes it easier to navigate but the validation process to get my rewards has been a hassle.

I go to log into my account and find it's been deactivated. I email support to find out the specifics, and get the account reactivated, they refuse, on grounds that they have "security software in place to detect multiple account creators, spammers, and bots negatively impacting our platform" and that my account was flagged, and that they simply will not reinstate my account.

So, they're telling me that just because their software encountered suspicion, that I'm at fault. Well, unfortunately, the password I used for their site was one that got hacked and placed on the dark web years ago, so obviously it's been hacked. But they, in their infinite wisdom, tell me that for "security reasons", they can not tell me any of the specifics. I haven't logged into our used their site in like probably 9 months or so, so I'm sure they could fix the issue based on that alone, but refuse to even investigate, so here I am.

Hopefully, if any of you decide to use them, you'll go in knowing that if there's ever a problem, they will simply make YOU the offender, and not allow you access to your account or points you would've accrued over time. They simply do not care enough to properly investigate. Their "security software" is the brains behind it all, and trumps any actual work or customer service.

Hi Geneva, Although we wish it weren't the case, there are instances when profiles are banned and we take great care before taking that step. We abide by the regulations of our Terms of Service (https://crowdtap.com/auth/terms-of-service), specifically in this case, sections 4.7 and 4.8, with the intention of being able to reward and support the Crowdtap community members as a whole. We do offer an appeals process (humans do err), but depending on the specific cause of a profile's banning, that may affect whether or not you hear back from us. If you send us a private message here with your account email address, we can provide you with more detail.

Crowdtap will disable your account under false pretenses, without giving you a valid explanation. Oh, they will tell you that you've "violated" their Terms of Service, but ignore you when you ask them to please explain. And you know why they ignore you? It's because they have no proof to back up their claim!

I was vaguely told by Crowdtap that I was guilty of "identified suspect account activity". I reached out to them through email, letting them know that there was no possible way, and I asked them to please explain. Have I heard from them? No. I've also been calling their office since Wednesday, leaving messages, and to no avail, I have not received an answer, nor a returned call. One of the times I called their office, the phone was answered but instead of someone talking to me on the line, I was instead able to hear background noise in the office as employees discussed what they plan on doing after they get off work, while ignoring me on the line. Why, you ask? Because Crowdtap has proven to be a poorly ran company, with a staff that lie to their customers so that they can disable accounts.

I have always been an honest Crowdtap user and I have always praised their company, getting others to join because of how I bragged about their app. And for them to blatantly lie, stating that I have misused their product... it's very disheartening. They have falsely questioned my integrity. I hope that their company is honorable enough to fix this mistake, and reactivate my account, as I have always used their services in an honest manner. I ask to not be punished for a mistake that I have NOT made.

Hi Leslie, Thank you for providing us feedback. Since you provided your reference number with your review, we were able to look into this for you. Please keep in mind our Support team cannot be access via phone, which is why you did not receive a reply. The reason why your account was disabled is because we found you were using more than 1 account. When you signed up for Crowdtap, you agreed to our Terms of Service. Section 3 allows only 1 account per person, and Section 4.16 allows us to disable access if we find misuse of the platform. We want Crowdtap to be a fun and fair experience for all, and in order to maintain the integrity of our community, we remove access for those misusing accounts.

Crowdtap deactivated my account but they don't say why they did, I summited a ticket on 11/04/2022 regarding a new email address I wanted to change and christina did reply back to me and ever since that day no response back so basically days have gone by and Nothing, so I left a review and developer did reply to me and apologize and said for me to reach out to Support team but I got tired of submitting ticket to ticket, all I want is for them to reactivate my account, is not much I'm asking for.

Don't waste your time or effort. They will disabled your account and tell you cause you violated terms. Which is BS when you've done nothing wrong.
