As Saving with TaLis continues to search for sidegig to pay for Christmas gifts, Zap surveys are an easy $6.25 after first survey.
What is Zap Surveys
Zap Surveys is one of the side hustle apps used to earn extra cash for completing surveys. It is available for download through the App Store or Google Play Store, or by going to zapsurveys.com. What I liked about Zap Surveys is that I still earn cash even if I don’t qualify for the survey.
How to Start Earning – Zap Download Bonus
After downloading Zap Surveys app, you’re prompted to allow location access. I usually allow access only when using the app. However, Zap wanted to access all the time. The app claims turning location on pre-qualifies you for high earning location surveys and increases the number of surveys you can complete. I turned it on to see what type of alerts I got and how often.
To get Zap download bonus, simply complete the Welcome Survey and the Profile Survey. The first survey is a guaranteed $6.25.
The Welcome Survey asked my general opinion about surveys. It asked 8 questions related to my understanding of how surveys work. For example, one question asked me if I knew that surveys usually ask trick questions.
Trick questions in surveys are used to assess whether you’re really reading the questions or statement, and answering honestly. In the Zap app survey for example, the statement prompted me to choose an animal that lives in the ocean. Easy questions and answers.
Location Surveys
When you turn on location access, you’ll get a message in the app that you qualify for a new survey. Location surveys generally ask you how your experience was at the place you just visited, which means you get guaranteed earnings. These surveys are usually quick, and its easy to rack up cash.
When there is a survey available to complete, a Zap app notification will show how long it takes to complete the survey and how much it pays.
A plus with Zap Surveys is that it shows how long the survey is going to take. Sometimes when completing surveys there’s a point in which I start wondering how long the survey is going to take, and if its going to be worth it. Especially when I may not have time to complete it, and end up wasting time.
Additionally, the Zap survey notification will show a star rating about the survey itself. The star rating is collected from every person who completes a survey, which allows you to determine if the survey is worth it. The surveys itself are reviewed by users.
Talis Tip – make sure you click the “Finish” button after each survey to ensure you get credit
Survey Bonuses
Daily Streaks
In addition to completing a survey, Zap also pays when you complete a survey daily. Don’t skip a day and earn a bonus for daily survey streaks. You earn even if you don’t qualify.
Zap Goals
Complete 500 surveys and get a $10 bonus. Complete 15 and get paid an additional amount.
Earn based on your balance
Zap adds a bonus when reaching a dollar amount in surveys. For example, Zap will add $0.25 when I earn $1.00 from surveys.
Not qualified? Zap still pays
Sometimes I wouldn’t qualify for a survey, but Zap still paid something. Unlike other surveys where you spend time answering and there was no compensation at all. What Zap paid was not much, but it was at least something.
Zap support
My experience with contacting support was good. They responded within 24 hours. I had to contact support because my surveys would freeze and then I didn’t get the credit. Zap didn’t credit my account though. However, the app got much better at not freezing.
Referrals
Refer Zap to other people and earn 10% from the first 10 people you refer, then 5% after that.
Zap Cash Out
Once you have $25 you’re able to cash out. Options are PayPal and gift cards to a few select but popular stores such as Amazon and Best Buy as well as Visa.
