Bidding points are locked, not spent
Official rules (Tasker's own pages)
- T Points convert 1:1 to NT$, and 1:1 to proposal credit.
- You choose the bid per proposal: minimum 100, maximum 9,999.
- In the priority-proposal area, ranking is by amount bid only; ties go to whoever submitted first.
- Refunded 100% whether or not you win: on accept, decline, job closed, or after 2 days unread/unanswered.
- A refund does not reset the expiry date; it keeps the original redemption date, and credit already expired on refund is void.
- Sources: help/126, help/116, TaskerGo, points plan

The official pages contradict each other on expiry
The terms say 600 credit lasts 30 days, 2,400 → 60, 4,800 → 90, 8,400 → 120 (top-ups of 180–1,200 credit: 30 days); help/126 says 30 days for all. We go by the terms / what the page shows.
Our three-tier bidding rule
| Tier | Bid | When |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 100 | Job value < NT$3,000; ≥ 10 proposals; client moderately active; medium fit. Mainly to test the water |
| Mid | ~200 (official average) | Job value NT$3,000–15,000; 3–10 proposals; client online within 3 days; high fit |
| High | Current #1 bid +1 to +50; cap = points worth 10% of expected gross margin, and ≤ 1/3 of available credit | Job value > NT$15,000, or a perfect-fit job that can earn a first review; client online today; few proposals |
Filters and stop-loss
- Client not online for over 3 days → don't bid.
- Job posted over 7 days ago with many proposals → don't bid.
- 3 days unread = no reply.
- No follow-up after 7 days.
Next / what was learned
- A bid locks points for about 2 days; the real cost is opportunity cost and expiry.
- Still unknown: real plan prices and bonus points, our credit's expiry date, how many points each proposal actually used.
What was done
- Read Tasker's official help and pricing pages on proposal points and wrote a bidding rule from them.
What was learned
- Points put on a proposal are refunded 100%, won or not — returned when the client accepts, declines, closes the job, or leaves it unread/unanswered for 2 days. So a bid locks points for about 2 days rather than spending them.
- The real cost is opportunity cost (points locked away from other bids) and any credit that expires unused. Refunded credit keeps its original expiry date.
- In the priority-proposal area, ranking is by points put in only; ties go to whoever proposed first.
