“The "inbox dollars: fast and fair compensation" review”

Jeanette H.
7/11/24

I highly recommend InboxDollars for anyone looking to earn some extra money online. One of the things that sets them apart is how quickly and fairly they make payouts. I'm always amazed at how fast I receive my compensation after completing surveys or other tasks on their platform. It's clear that they prioritize their users' time and effort, which is greatly appreciated. Overall, I'd give InboxDollars a 5 out of 5 stars for their quick and fair compensation practices.

“Ridiculous and Unfair”

Bryan N.
12/11/24

I'm completely dissatisfied with Inbox dollars. Every thing was good until I completed my latest offer. I was supposed to receive $120. I was given $12. It's ridiculous and bad business. I screenshot my offers upon acceptance so I have the proof of what I was owed. I've heard from others about this happening but I had hoped for better.

I played several games. Took endless surveys. I earned my money and let it grow to $40 and decided to cash out. I selected my cards. They sent me a notice for them to kick in. I'm still waiting. I played solitaire to level 103. Was supposed to receive $12 and chain. Only was given 15 cents. Put in 3 tickets to find out what happened. No response other than more things to earn money. It's a waste of time. DON'T TRUST THEM

Inbox Dollars. Stay away. Don't waste your time like I did

Tip for consumers:
They claim you can make money on line playing games and taking surveys. It looks legit even when you select your cards. They even sent a message I'll be receiving soon. Nothing.....no response to claim tickets. Can I help you... Nothing

It's a good site to make a little extra cash, but it's also frustrating to get bumped of a survey half way through, which happens more than you would think. I've made some money and I would still recommend it.

It's even more difficult to qualify for surveys and earn enough points to cash out. Even clicking on their daily "confirm this email" takes a ridiculous amount of times to be able to scratch off a bonus. It's just too frustrating and time consuming.

I've been disappointed with Inbox Dollars for quite some time. I've spent lots of time, hours, answering surveys and not earning any money. I will click on a survey that pays 1.00 and takes 20 minutes to complete. I'll spend 10 minutes on the survey and then get disqualified. Or, I will click on a survey that pays.25 and takes 10 minutes to take. It takes 30 minutes to complete and I still get paid only.25 cents.

I would click on the paid emails and the would fill up the meter, but it never payed me.

So, I cashed out my money. I got a Visa cash card, but I can't put the money on my credit card like I planned to. And I don't need to do any more online shopping.

It's really upsetting to think about all the time I wasted in your App.

I took the surveys and played the games. I watched my dollars increase with everything I did. When it came time to cash out I decided on Amazon gift cards. I redeemed for two cards one for $100 and a day later the second for $40. I got their emails telling me the payments were being processed and keep my eye on my inbox. Three days later I received my $40 Amazon gift card but no $100 card yet. I waited my ten business days before I decided to ask what was up. I found it nearly impossible to put in a ticket about this transaction. Hidden inside a maze of instructions I finally found somewhere to start a ticket. I then received an automated email stating they would get back to me within three business days. It is now eleven business days later and still haven't heard back on my ticket or received my $100 Amazon gift card.

The closer I get to $15 which is the required minimum amount to get my first gift card, the more difficult it has been to get surveys to work. I'm at $12.96 right now and I haven't had any luck getting the surveys to work. It seems a little more than just coincidental.

Even the surveys that appear as "recommended for you" in a popup don't work. After I click accept and continue, it takes me back to the survey list. The ones I do get to work display "we found a better survey for you" after answering a few questions"

Update: I just answered all of their questions in detail on a survey where they show you greeting cards and want you to evaluate them. After I finished and submitted the survey, I didn't get awarded anything. A message displayed that the survey wasn't a good fit for me.They got their survey completed and are going to get whatever benefits they get and I got nothing. Shady.

Don't even bother with this site.

It's a total scam.

Especially the games. They try to draw you in to install games and play them with offers to pay you when you reach certain goals. It's a load of crap. When you reach the goals and don't get paid. All they tell you. Is there are tracking glitches and a bunch of BS. They'll say sorry, not sorry.

They'll say it's out of their control and they're not going to pay you fur all the time you wasted on that game. All lies.

Just totally sketch. Don't waste your time, because they're not going to pay you.

I have requested a gift card from the points I had saved up, however I never received the gift card that I requested but my points have gone down. This is the second time this has happened. I never received any kind of code, etc. How do I get my card? I can't remember the date but ii was this month for this last one. The other is many years ago didn't question that one.

Tip for consumers:
It is advertised as earn money for surveys, but somehow I never receive the reward!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy the app itself but the payout process is way too long.What would make this app 5 star is for the payout process to be QUICKER. A side of that it's 👍

I couldn't get my card. I had to change my password then I couldn't even get in to get it. This is ridiculous. The process needs to be easier. Every time I have tried to cash in has been taken multiple attempts but this is the worst.

I had cashed in for two $15.00 Walmart cards in November but never received them! I just redeemed my rewards for a $50.00 Walmart card, and I did receive a E-card which is not what I wanted! I do not have a smart phone nor digital wallet, so it is very hard to use an E-card! We should be given the option of a hard card or check for our rewards! I have sent many messages to the customer service and help sight with zero responses from either! Very disappointed

Tip for consumers:
While there are many helpful features on the site, some things that might make it even more useful are: 1) more detailed product information, including specifications and features 2) the ability to filter reviews by specific criteria such as location or buying history 3) improved search functionality for finding reviews on specific products or companies 4) more user-friendly

Inbox dollars has many opportunities to earn some extra cash and also offers that you might not think about. They have games, bingo, shopping and much more. I received an Amazon gift card this time when I cashed some of my rewards, and purchased NRT patches, and vitamins. I am on a tight budget and probable could not afford these otherwise. So I really appreciate Inbox dollars. They have a super variety of gift cards to use with earnings, And it only takes 2-3 days to receive these. If you have any questions, customer support are awesome.

I now have to go through a 3rd party to get a visa card. I don't use virtual wallet so they charge me 5 dollars for a physical card. It takes 3 to 4 days for prepaid solutions to contact me about the card then another 7 yo 10 days to get whereas I used to get a paper check in less than 7 days with no fees. I miss the good old days. It has already cost me 10 dollars to cash out this way and I'm sure the card issuer is getting paid on the front end before they gouge me for 5 bucks.

I'm always apprehensive when it comes to "free" money. I anticipate fine print, endless loops and solicitation. Inbox hasn't been that. I've honestly only engaged the app here and there for 2 or 3 months and have already cashed out $10 through PayPal twice. The first one took about 2 or 3 weeks to receive, but the second payout only took a few days. Of all the b*ll$#*! "free" money out there, this is one of the few I would recommend. Though for some reason I'm getting kicked from almost every single survey due to not being a "good" fit. Aka, inbox claims I may have been dishonest during a survey apparently. Which is false. I have no reason to lie in an anonymous testimony that is worth $2. It might just be their cute little way of advertising high paying surveys, but not really offering them. Either way, it did pay out and that's worth 3 stars.

I love that the site delivers on their promise as for payouts and customer service, though I feel they should update their offers a little more than they do so it's not the same constantly, or that the survey items paid out for the qualifications of surveys
