“They keep their promises”

Tim C.
4/6/24

I've been using Crowdtap for several years now. I fill out surveys and they send me gift cards; my favorites are Uber and Burger King, but they offer lots more. I've never had any problem with them. You won't get rich but it's really nice to earn $5 or $10 here and there for surveys that are easy to fill out (and sometimes kind of interesting). If a friend asked me to recommend survey sites, Crowdtap would be in the top 3.

“Account disabled for no reason”

Gloria B.

I signed up for Crowdtap last night and answered surveys for a good while before going to sleep, then woke up to find my account was disabled and no one can give me a reason why. What a waste of time! I've read that this happens a lot with this site, so I'll be sticking with Branded Surveys and YouGov from now on. I've never had a problem with those sites.

I initially found Crowdtap when searching for product sampling/testing. I tried so many new things that I still use today. I've noticed they don't have or don't offer me samplings lately. But it's okay I'm up to $50 in amazon cards for just taking surveys. I had a recent issue I wanted to change my email. It got done in less than 24 hours, great communication.

Products used:
My samples were- Suave kit, Affresh Kit, Nexxus/Dove kit, Domino Sugar,Mission chips, rxbar kit, Hellman's Mayo. Just to name a few!

I have been a member of CrowdTap awhile now. I love that I can answer questions and help companies develop items. In the past, I got to learn a lot about new products and share with friends and family. The site has slowly changed to more of light surveys of consumers opinions for product development. Everything I do allows me to acquire points that I can convert to a gift card. I also love when I get the chance to test new products through CrowdTap. They have really change in recent years and there is not as many samplings that there use to be. They have an app now that makes answering questions even easier. Being a stay at home parent with no income, CrowdTap helps me to feel like I'm contributing to our household sometimes. I definitely recommend becoming a member!

I have been with Crowdtap for at least a year and I hae been enjoying taking their surveys. I wouldn't even call them surveys, they're more like questionairres about you. No one knows you better than yourself so just answer all the questions honestly and it will be a breeze. Because the questions will be repeated many times down the road to test your honesty. You will get a board with different colored squares worth different point values and on different topics. You only need 1000 points to cash out a $5 gift card, which I average about once a week. And that's only visiting the site every 2-3 days for 30-60 minutes to clear as many squares that are made available to me as I can. There's nothing complicated about it. It's real easy, laid back and enjoyable. You usually get your redemption the same day or next day. I belong to a lot of survey panels and this is one I really look forward to. It's a nice change of pace.

Tip for consumers:
This is a great way to earn gift cards to a lot of major companies. It's quick, easy and painless. Dare I say rather enjoyable?

Products used:
Gift cards for Ulta, Walmart and Amazon

I have been with Crowdtap for quite awhile now, they've always provided me with accurate points and I have always received my monetary rewards within the correct time frame.
Unlike other survey sites it doesn't require tons of time to complete a single survey for a tiny reward or refuse to give you a reward because you were "declined".

I've been using Crowdtap since fall of 2019, and had no problems - except maybe one time they forgot to send me the gift card I redeemed, but I contacted customer support and they sent it out pretty quickly. I always take the surveys that offer 30+ points and only take the 3 or 5 point surveys if I have extra time. That way, I reach the 5,000 point threshold fairly quickly. I think I've cashed out about $300 worth of gift cards over the past roughly 2 years, which isn't a phenomenal amount of money, but it's a nice little side gig. Plus, I like answering the questions, especially the ones related to food, beverages, and the restaurant industry (as a fan of healthy food & new food trends myself).

I did get one sample one time - it was a deodorant made from bamboo fiber or something like that. I think I forgot to write the review about it, so I don't blame them for not sending me more samples, ha.

Overall, Crowdtap is the only survey site I've stuck with in the long run. Swagbucks was a giant waste of time, in my opinion, and all other survey sites I've tried I've maybe gotten like $5 out of.

Definitely give Crowdtap a try. I've always answered questions truthfully and given full, well-thought-out free responses, and I've never had any issues with the site.

I've been paid out roughly 20 times from prizes that range from 5$-25$ gift cards. I usually only get Amazon, and they pay out within 24 hours each time.

Never had any issues with them. Just put effort into your posts and you'll never be wronged by them. Cashed out around 300$ so far in my 9 months of using them.

They also run free samples, so far I've been accepted into a free battery pack and it's pretty good quality too.

I joined crowdtap about 3 years ago. It's so easy to rack up points for $5 gift cards to various companies. Obviously the most fun is the sampling sets. Honestly answer some questions and surveys and if your demographic is chosen you're on your way to sampling new products, absolutely free. All you have to do is leave your honest opinion and review, which I do even when I don't receive free products so this site is perfect for me.

I have tried so many different services that claim that you will earn gift cards and samples, some do as they say... but its really slow, and sometimes you get the "you don't qualify for this survery" not crowd tap! You just answer the questions given and you get points! Those points then allow you to redeem giftcards. Crowdtap also allows you to apply for samples... below is my very first crowdkit sample! I've earned about $20 in about a month and a half time-frame, I'm sure you can more when you're more active. I mostly love the samples! I mean come on! Their full sized! Lol i recommend crowdtap.

I am so happy I found crowdtap a year ago! It's super simple to create an account and all you have to do is answer survey questions about different things. Each survey is worrh points and you can redeem points for giftcards (the selection is awesome!) and you have sampling opportunities from different brands. I, personally, love the makeup samples and I've received several full size mascaras, foundations, etc. I promise you won't regre signing up!

I have been a member of Crowdtap for almost five years now. I love it because it's very rewarding, super easy and fun to use and be a part of! I am big on providing constructive criticism and get a kick out of doing surveys, answering questions and giving feedback so this is an outlet for me with benefits. Not only am I able to help companies out with marketing and advertising by providing answers to questions about slogans or designs but I'm also able to redeem points for giftcards and sample products for free at the same time. Whats not to love? I recommend this to everyone I know because it's great. I cannot wait for an android app because it will allow to me participate even more. I also love the new giftcard options added.

I love Crowdtap. You answer questions about yourself or opinions on stuff. I have gotten a lot of Amazon gift cards from this. It is easy t get to a thousand points. Once you get to a thousand, you can cash in a 5 dollar amazon gift card.
