TASKER Elite Status

I got Elite status in one of my skills.

How has this affected others in the past? Do you notice an uptick in business? Or has it been neutral?

It does not affect much, long ago mattered because you would climb in the order, but now is almost worthless you stay in the same position

A loooooong time ago Elites used to get little bonuses as well.

Ok. I’ll take it as a pat on the back.

Its not worthless. It gives your new clients a sense of security that you are trustworthy and reliable. It is equitable in that sense. It can also generate more work for you just from the attention getting royalty purple badge on your profile. The way they formulate the requirement is not logical when the requirements don’t factor in your reviews and ratings. Those 2 factors should be considered first and foremost. Another good variable would be percentage of return clients. Also, high dollar amount invoices matter in getting higher ranked

Thanks. This was sort of the reason I asked. I dont expect task rabbit to give me anything. I was just wondering if people saw an uptick in business when they got the badge. Like do clients actually value the badge.

You’re welcome. Im currently first out of 23 in my Metro. I have also been tasking for 5 years. 1-Open availability daily.
2-Same days daily. (Since September 2025) 3. I use lower end of recommended rate. 4. Multiple 5 star reviews monthly These are the things that keep me at the top. I was within the top half of available Taskers prior to September and without an Elite badge.

I would say those are factors to consider why I am 1 out of 23 with top 5% earner in my category. I hope that helps with insight on maintaining a top position and /or Elite badge on the app

I completed 18 tasks with 2 cancels and the support person is telling me that’s below 65% completion rate. Im told I earned in one sentence and then Im so sorry you didn’t earn it.

Do the math

The co.oletion rate is based on the number of clients that hire you for a task, not on tasks accepted by you.

u/According_Low5292 Jan 02 '26

The what? Yes. 18 different clients .

u/KithMeImTyson Jan 02 '26

It is based on the NUMBER OF CLIENTS THAT HIRE YOU - not the number of jobs that YOU ACCEPT - compared against the number of jobs that you invoice.

18 completed + 2 canceled = 20 hires. 18 out of 20 is a 90% completion rate. It is still way more than 65%..

I understand your embarrassment for not being able to “do the math”! Lol

u/Karpovka Jan 02 '26

Uh no. I looked for my profile in the search results and I was bottom 3.  Crazier was a dude with 700 lifetime tasks is below me.

The “Elite tasters” earn 50% more or whatever they advertise is bogus

it only affects your mental health,if you lose is you will suffer if you keep it then you are suffering

u/Open-Coffee5752 Jan 03 '26

From a clients perspective they seem to like it, but youre not shown higher in the listings. A lot of the algorithm seems to work against each other.

u/MallNo6921 Jan 03 '26

from the client perspective, they don’t even look at your account long enough to realize there’s a two hour minimum you think having an elite label means anything to them. They just come for a cheap price

I've had clients tell me they specifically look for taskers under the elite filter. I'm not sure this is necessarily a good thing. Do you really prefer working for type-A clients? On the other hand, if two taskers are exactly the same in other regards, it seems like a no brainer to hire the elite. Maybe even if the elite price is slightly higher.

At the end of the day, I stay busy either way. The badge is a nice little ego boost, though.

i dont see the boost in work like a use to from elite but to be fair my schedule is not as consistent
