    Today I will go the way others are going, a-z to a-z and see if that nets me more than the $450 I got going page by page.

    Today was a big one for me. Based on a previous posters comment about visiting high premium friends and not collecting anything, I decided to do that with my high premium friends before I even started my first tap. Just visit and leave and go to another high premium friend and visit and leave. I did this for a few times and my first tap in the other Springfield gave me $43. So I picked 2 high premium friends close to each other and visit and exit them. Did this about 20 times each town and then my second tap in the other Springfield gave me $106. I just kept doing this while watching tv and when the show finished, I started on my 3rd house tap and got $547. After that I just started tapping all 3 houses in each town and finished with $613 for the last tap and $169k total richer. Even after I collected from all my high premium friends, I went and visit them a few times before collecting from a regular friend again and the next tap increased a lot. As long as you visit a high premium friend collected or not, it will always increase the amount in the next tap 8)

    Yowza! :shock:

    And of course she's right.

    You can do it faster if you don't collect every time. Tap a building, when the money shows, leave and on to the next.
    I do it under an hour with 100 friends. First visiting the premium friends, and then the rest.

    Thanks for the tip, I've been tapping every last dollar, should save me some time and sanity

    Tonight I didn't go crazy like yesterday. I started off by just by visiting friends with 20 minutes left before I could collect. When it came time to collect, I got $256 for the first tap. I just collected 3 houses each town from A-Z and the last tap was $379. Total raked in tonight is $98k

    I suspected as much. Of course getting all the premium stuff is expensive. I speak from experince. Sure would like some free premium stuff for a change.

    I have found this as well; I did not go through and calculate the increase per tap or per neighbour, although I generally do calculate most things in this game, this is one I have yet to do. After the Christmas event is over I will go in depth with this as well to see what kind of mathematical conclusion I can draw, and give you guys an idea of how closely I get to these numbers found by the OP.

    Great work though, I have definitely concluded this is VERY true, as for how much money you can make daily from premium neighbours, that is another thing I would love to see calculated by a group of people with a few different towns with different combinations of friends.

    Wait. Are you saying you don't even have to tap something when you visit and the bonus will go up when you do tap? I have 15 neighbors with pretty much all the major premium items.

    Here! Here! Know where you're coming from. Luckily, Ive caught her tapping around my town for me so Im hoping to soften her up a bit about my game time. This tapping thing has me confused, though. How on earth do you count all those dollars anyway? And does it really go up just by visiting someone and not tapping? Ive tapped all my friends for today but will try it tomorrow. Need more land.

    I got like 300 a tap yesterday. These people talking about 1000 a tap makes me wonder. Do they just sit there and go in and out of one Springfield for 3 hours straight or something?

    I did the visit/leave/visit thing today and got up to a little over $1100 per tap. I'm not sure what it was by the end of visiting. I had some free time and did it for about 30-40 minutes. I made over $300,000 today. Granted, I won't have time for this everyday, but once in a while for sure.

    Definitely not ****, I assure you. Were you in a town with a Springfield sign?
