Hold Period
Quick Definition
A hold period is a time frame where earned rewards are temporarily withheld before being made available for cashout.
Detailed Explanation
The hold period is a standard practice in the GPT industry, including BountyCore, where rewards earned from completing surveys, app testing, micro-tasks, and offers are held for a specified period. This allows for verification of task completion, fraud prevention, and ensures that users have met the requirements for earning points. The hold period can vary depending on the type of task, the user's account status, and other factors. During this time, users can continue to earn more points, but they will not be able to cash out the held rewards until the hold period expires.
Why It Matters
The hold period directly affects user earnings as it determines when rewards can be cashed out, which can impact a user's ability to receive timely payments for their work.
How It Works
1. A user completes a task and earns rewards. 2. The rewards are placed on hold for a specified period. 3. During the hold period, the task is verified and reviewed. 4. If the task is validated, the hold period expires, and the rewards are made available for cashout.
Examples
- •Completing a survey and having the reward held for 7 days
- •Earning points from app testing and having them held for 14 days
- •Redeeming an offer and having the reward held for 30 days
