“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've been doing Inbox dollars for nearly two weeks. The first couple of days I earned a few dollars with no problem. But once I got to 10.00 I get rejected from every survey, they never paid out for completed offers, and filled my email mailbox with spam. They never respond to any complaints. It's really not worth it. I plan to check out other survey sites instead.

Judging by the other reviews, I must not be the only one who didn't qualify for a bunch of surveys. Am I the wrong age, race, or have I not paid for enough hotel rooms, insurance companies, cable, etc. in the last 6 months? We'll never know. I don't think I trust Penny Hoarder since they recommended this site.

SITE has totally gone down hill! USED to pay more for everything now not even half of what it used to pay. I got my whopping rewards card for $5.00 and cannot use it anywhere! I have gotten ones in the past many times never a problem with them. I will NOT recommend!

With all of the possible ways one can earn real cash with InboxDollars its extremely easy to cash out on a regular basis. I remember when it was difficult to withdraw money from InboxDollars, they had a high withdrawal amount, but they have gotten better over the years. InboxDollars has improved many things as apart of their service including how to cash out easier. You can cash out at $10 with PayPal, they process takes a few days sometimes just 24 hours. It's a legit way to earn some extra cash.

Tip for consumers:
Make sure the email you sign up with is the email attached to your PayPal

Products used:
Paid Online Surveys, mobile game cash back offers, search and earn.

Just a couple of months and I have already legitimately made like $35 on Amazon. I love the fact you don't have to earn little by little if you even get enough to cash out. I got $20 just to play 1 game. No purchase was required.

This website can earn you some decent spare cabbage lol now you can even cash out at $5.00. If you're good at shopping and snapping receipts, downloading and playing games one game download is offering $130.00 and doing surveys this website is for you and it only takes 24-72 hours to receive your cash out in your email

I spent weeks doing all these surveys, and I finally was at the 30 dollar cash out. Never received it. Also cashed out a 10 card for Google play, the link freezes up everytime I attempt to redeem. Awful.

I've been a member of site for years, like the different activities you can do daily. It can be fun answering the polls, looking at coupons to print, taking survey, and most of all the Billy button when shopping

I've earned several hundred over a period of a few years just by taking surveys, playing games, watching videos, opening emails, printing coupons, learning and earning, and other simple quick tasks. It's worth the time! And it's for real!

This site "steals" your data ultimately, because you never qualify to take the surveys. I doubt it is all discarded as they contend. You end up providing services and they do not update your earnings amount. You cannot cash in until you earn 30.00, which is highly unlikely that you ver will. However, for the patient few, you may earn pennies per day. Not likely, if there is such a thing as "stealing personal information for surveys," and not compensating individuals, I believe this site would qualify.

This app has been pretty decent for making small amount of money in my spare time. It could be better though. Mist surveys do not pay much at all. Usually between 25 and 75 cents for up to 25 minutes. What I do not like at all it when im halfway thru a survey and get denied for answering something in a way they dont like. Especially when it comes to my race or political stance. After 15 minutes into a survey, thats crap.

I've been doing this for years. I've never had one problem with inboxdollars! I do the surveys and prepaid emails, mostly. I cash out at $30 so I get a check about every 4-6 weeks. It's easy to do and if you put in legitimate answers the surveys do not kick you out. Of course they are looking for specific demographics with each survey but that's just common sense. It is legitimate. You will get your check!

I spent a couple of months doing this in my spare time. Made a few dollars and they actually paid. The surveys were a pain, they dropped you in the middle sometimes 20 minutes into the survey and you got nothing, and often paid very little. Everything was going fine, and one day I tried to log on and my account had been shut down. I contacted them and got a scripted e-mail response saying that I had violated the terms of their user agreement. Additionally, I had money in my account which they never paid. Further attempts to contact them proved futile. In reading reviews from other people, they had a similar experience. Dropped for no reason. If you do decide to do this, do not allow your funds to accumulate beyond the first payout threshold. You never know. I took great pains to be honest with my answers,, but no clue as to what I did to set them off.

Tip for consumers:
Get your money out as quick as you can, because if they cut you off, you don't get paid!

It is a website that allows you to take surveys and pays you for them. I have not pursued a new one yet.

It is very rare in the days and times that you can actually say that a company as a whole would have integrity. But I can honestly say that after 90 days of doing surveys playing games running receipts this company actually pays they answer your emails responses to tactical issues and they honor their word that's all I've got to say five stars in my book. PS these types of sites are not to make you rich but to help you sustain your living

Tip for consumers:
It's nice to see if there is actually people out there that care about their integrity.

Thought I'd give this site a try. I have some downtime and thought, hey why not earn a bit of extra cash answering surveys? I've been using inbox dollars for 5 days now and I go on everyday to see what surveys are available. You will spend 5-10 minutes answering questions only to tell you you don't qualify for the survey! Really? Why tf did I fill out a profile with most of these questions? The site should automatically match you will appropriate surveys to take. Bottom line- don't waste your time with this site!

I submitted two magic receipts fulfilling two separate offers for a $9 reward. The scan said It could not verify the information on the receipts and to submit it for manual review. I did this and waited the requested 10 days and received no response, no solution, no rewards.

Even after clearly explaining this to support I get an instant, automated reply telling me how to submit a receipt and then request a manual review. I have already done this. This system requires us to spend money to earn money, you get paid for your referrals. Now you refuse to to hold up your end of the bargain?

Unbelievable. I see a few good reviews so do you just chose to scam people at random?

Tip for consumers:
If something goes wrong, do not expect resolution. Use at own risk. It doesn’t appear they have real people. Telephone number does not work

Not so much a reflection of the site but waited days for a gift card redeem only for the Amex card to be useless as so sites accept them anymore. Can't use it in person as it is digital. This reward should be removed.

I was a little skeptical at first whether it would be just another time wasting app that never actually lived up to the hype they claimed in things I've read about. But actually they really do pay off. I feel I have really benefited from this app. Hopefully it continues.

It sometimes takes a while to accumulate the amount needed for cash out. Rewards can take ridiculous amount of time in pending mode. And finally i feel it take them longer than it should to finalize a virtual reward. With all that being said I still give them 4 stars. Far better than other similar apps.

I have been using Inbox dollars for years now. I like the idea of receiving cash back, but Inbox Dollars has a variety of ways to earn. By reading emails, shopping, watching videos, doing surveys, playing games, uploading shopping receipts...and much more.The ideas of cashing in for Giftcards works well, since they have a great variety of many stores I shop at. Trust me when you can earn a little extra cash this goes a long ways with a budget.

I love this site. In just the past few months I've received over $70 in Amazon and Visa card rewards from surveys and playing games. On other survey sites I've tried in the past I rarely qualify for surveys and tend to give up quickly, but at inboxdollars there are enough that I do qualify for to keep me busy. The games are a great way to earn too, though some of the deadlines are too short to be realistic so you have to pick and choose. But the rewards really do pay out, and I've always received my gift cards quickly and without any hassle. Definitely recommended if you want to earn some spare cash on the side.

This is a legitimate app. You are paid to do various different things such as read the email they send on the app, play games, search the web, shop, and more. I use to pay for my kids Christmas and birthday presents.

Yeah, I'm doing the survey thing, but they won't let you "cash out" until you reach $30. It's taking forever! I hate it, but compared to all the other survey sites I found it's ok. The others get -10 stars, lol! The surveys are interesting at least, but watch out for the ones with "complete 8 offers" they want credit card info! DON'T DO IT!
