Why Do Campaign Applications Close?

• Birds are currently being selected for this campaign.

• There’s already enough qualified interest, so we’re not accepting any new interest at this time.

• Keep an eye out for future campaigns with this brand! A majority of campaigns launch on Tuesdays, so checking Tuesday evening is recommended to see the most available campaigns. That said, we launch campaigns throughout the week as well, so checking your dashboard regularly never hurts!
  

We know it can feel confusing when you hear a friend expressed interest in a campaign you don’t see. In most cases, the campaign simply filled up quickly and was closed for new interest.

Adding the Applications Closed status is one of the ways we’re working to bring more clarity and transparency to your experience. Our goal is to reduce the guesswork—so you always know whether a campaign is open, closed, or in progress. This is part of our ongoing effort to create a more open platform where you can better understand how campaigns are managed.

What This Means for You

• A campaign with Applications Closed may already be full.

• You won’t be able to express interest in pending campaigns right now.

• Keep an eye out for future opportunities with the same brand—many return with new campaigns!

What’s Next

We’ll continue refining this feature (and others!) to bring you more transparency and a smoother experience on the platform.

Certain campaigns, especially those featuring popular brands, can reach capacity within hours. For example, for a campaign that goes live Tuesday night, it could receive 5x the number of interested hummingbirds compared to the number of available spots. When this happens, we close the campaign to prevent additional hummingbirds from getting excited about an opportunity that is no longer available - because even if you're a great fit, we won't be able to select you this time and would rather you express interest in a future campaign so we have the chance to select you!

To maximize your chances of expressing interest before campaigns fill up, consider the following tips:

• Check Available Campaigns on Tuesday Evenings and Wednesday Mornings
  Campaign newsletters go out on Tuesday evenings, and many brands aim to launch their campaigns by this deadline. This means Tuesday night and Wednesday morning are prime times to find new opportunities.

• Check Back Throughout the Week
  While most campaigns go live on Tuesdays, we often have a smaller number launching on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. These may fill over the weekend and never appear in the newsletter, so it’s worth checking periodically.

We understand that missing out on campaigns can be frustrating, but our goal is to ensure that as many hummingbirds as possible have a great experience. By shutting off interest when campaigns reach capacity, we help minimize disappointment and streamline the selection process.
