Back to the Tap Survey drawing board
« on: May 29, 2020, 08:58:48 pm »
Well after much and many days of success with Tap Surveys I am now not only not qualifying for any tap surveys but not even getting the 1 cent reward.  Darn why oh why lol.

Just bum luck I suppose.  I got over 60 cents in Tap credits today.

I've been told that Tap will stop crediting after a certain number of DQs, maybe that's what happened.  I personally never experienced that but other members here told me it's known to happen.

At any rate good luck, I hope things turn around for you soon.

I've heard the same thing but have never experienced so can't say if its true or not

I have not been having that problem with TAP.  Maybe try later. It might be a glitch. If it continues, you might have to open a support ticket directly with TAP.

I think of it as the Tap Wall.  Once you hit a (unknown) number of DQs, Tap will not pay you until you qualify again.  This has happened  to me a couple of times and it truly stinks, but as soon as you qualify again, you're back on track with DQ payments.  If you see the message "sorry, you did not qualify for this survey", that means you hit the Wall.  I just keep trying till I complete a survey and get a reward.  In my opinion, that is better than doing a bunch of FC surveys and getting the penny that doesn't count towards cashout.

I've heard about the "Tap Wall" also but have never experienced it.  I usually stop trying them after I make my .05.  Sometimes a little more.  :peace:

I haven't had a problem with TAP lately.  Works for me.

My firs thought was that you hit the "Tap wall." I too have heard that Tap Research will stop paying out disqualification bonuses after a certain number of disqualifications. I have had this situation happen to me in the past, so I always have that in the back of my mind. Once you are able to qualify for and complete a survey, subsequent disqualification bonuses should credit again.

Yes, they changed their rules last year and since then I think I have hit the "Tap wall" at least once. So those little 2 cent surveys that some people say they don't even bother with? I always do them to hopefully keep me from hitting the wall.  Because if I hit the wall, it means I have to do something else to make sure I get my 5 cents, then I go try more Tap surveys to maybe get around the wall with a complete. Sometimes it takes awhile to do!

You make a very good point about the 2 cent surveys.  I have always had the "why bother" attitude toward those as well, but I will keep in mind what you said about the Tap wall.  It definitely could be beneficial in that regard (and, as I and many others have also pointed out multiple times, the pennies add up fast!)

Thanks for the advice!

Today was a good day for me on Tap.  It is great to make the cents I need on Tap.

This has happened to me too.  I was doing so good for awhile and now I am getting nothing.  Not qualifying and not getting the DQ bonus.
