“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.

“Surveys=cash”

Mel C.
11/23/24

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 so easy to earn money fast. Some of the simplest ways to pass time and make a little cash. The games are pretty entertaining too. Takes like 5 business days total to cash out but still gets 5 stars because it's already free money. Can't complain.

Inbox Dollars is a good app to download for a little extra money every month. They offer a wide selection of games, apps, and websites to use to make money thru the Inbox Dollars app. You can cash out at $5.00 and the payment process is easy. They offer several ways to receive payment. The only small complaint I have is that receiving payment using the PayPal method takes 3-5 days. It would be nice if you could pay a small percentage of your payout to receive the money immediately. This app is 100% legit and worth downloading.

This is a good site. I've cashed out several times, and I earned it mostly from reading emails and registering, but you can do surveys and other stuff as well. You need to have $30 to cash out, and there's a $3 charge, but they always put the $3 back in your account after the redemption.

I contacted them about a reward I didn't get credit for and their customer service team answered me back within 24 hours and had the money in my account the next day. I cashed out with an American Express Prepaid card and it was sent to my email the following day. GRADE A customer service. They have good rewards and they pay out quick. This is one company you don't have to worry about paying out they pay everytime and if you have any problems.¡Lppp

Tip for consumers:
They payout and they have an amazing customer service team.

The app worked great for a short time. But when it came to getting paid more than 2 dollars, they don't even post the activity or completion of the tasks. I have been trying to get the money owed to me, over 40 dollars. I have email and contacted support but can't get any type of response

They say they will pay you for taking surveys online, it is not much, about one or two cents per minute of your time. You have to accumulate $30.00 before you can collect the money. After hours and hours of taking surveys, I was up to $21.00 and then they would not let me take any more. They do not want you to reach the amount to actually get paid, big rip-off. Live and learn.

Terrible site. Poorly designed surveys, you will get many pages in and much wastes time to be informed that "you don't qualify for this survey". Also, credit is not given for some completed surveys. Finally, multiple surveys get you to a point where the survey doesn't take input or is otherwise unresponsive and all time is wasted. I don't believe the site is a scam, but don't bother with it unless you have tons of time and expect nothing for it.

Inbox Dollars is a great website to earn a little extra cash. It's easy to earn money just reading your email and searching online. Once in a while I also do a couple of surveys and offers. They also offer the opportunity to earn while playing games or watching videos but I don't use those. The program is not a scam, I got my first check already. This is no way to make a living, but a nice way to make extra cash while doing minimal effort.

This site is a waste of time. Rewards take a long time to acquire. Once acquired they take even longer to payout. Beware you can get deleted out of the blue with all your earnings lost. Also spin a wheel never wins money.

Inboxdollars is the first legitimate site that I have found! And they do not send unnecessary emails. I have been able to cash out quite a few times. From receiving a check by mail to getting gift cards for shopping and dining out.

I've been filling out their surveys for about 10 months. The checks always came in on time however they were never more than $ 40. I recently accumulated more than $ 50. I submitted a request for payment and guess what. NO CHECK! It never came so I got on their chat line, discussed the problem and the "Chat Person" told me that it was cost $ 5 for a new check to be issued. I agreed and I am still waiting for a new check.

Surveys don't pay anywhere enough to make the surveys worth your time. All money making offers, even the 100% free offers asks that you pay silver and gold sponsors 1000% or more than what inbox offers in return. The Spin and Win wheel is rigged. I've spun the wheel a lot. Each time it lands on sweeps ticket or lose turn every time. I've seen the wheel slow down, then momentarily pick up speed to avoid landing on cash prizes, I've literally seen it stop on $1 and $5, then the wheel flashed and moved off the winning spot, just to land on sweeps ticket or lose turn again. I've recorded it for proof. I've mentioned this before and it is somehow my fault. As they tell everyone. Beware this is a scam.

I like that you can cash out to other platforms such as PayPal, Amazon, eBay and much more.
I just don't care for the pending time. Not just from the other sites but the cash out time as well.
But hey, it's nearly free money all in one place.

I just wanted to submit feedback - I have been using this site for a couple of months and for the most part it offers a variety of ways to earn. However, on the surveys that dont qualify, you have taken a good 10-20 (or more) mins before they tell you you dont qualify and you get a spin and win. This is a good idea in theory, but to have 2 spots with no wins and the fact that most of the time it seems to land on no win, it makes me feel my unqualified efforts were a complete waste of time and discourages me from participating in any future surveys. I think either pre-qualification should narrow down surveys better so you dont have to waste so much time, or something should be added to the spin and win to make it more favorable. I would share this site with more people if some of these things were cleaned up, but I am afraid that I would be wasting time of friends too. If you dont do survey's - all their other categories are just pennies worth and so takes forever to earn anything!

This site I would consider one of my top five. It consistently has surveys of all kinds. It does take longer to get to the amount where you can get a payout but once you day it does come in pretty quick. I have been using this site on a off for a couple of years I have received some payouts just not as often as others. On top of surveys they have videos, shopping, referrals and search engine that you also get points on.

Take endless surveys and one or two might pay out some chump change. They direct you to thousands of other ads and claim no responsibility when you realize they are trying to scam you. Also, the $5.00 they promise you to sign up only gets paid when you hit $30 on their site. Something conveniently left out in the sign up presses. Cleaver but futile

Hi William,
Sorry to hear your experience with our survey providers was not a positive one as we do try to find the best surveys available for our members but it is important to note that the amount of the survey offered is listed on the survey prior to the attempt. This way you can decide what surveys and the amount you'd like to try for.

All surveys are provided by third party advertisers and we do clearly state in our terms that we work with third party advertisers so all crediting is provided based on completion of activities on the site.

I'm including a link to our terms that are always provided to members prior to joining to help clarify our request payment requirements which does state a minimum of $30.00 is required to request payment.
http://www.inboxdollars.com/pages/terms

When a member does create an account with us we do issue the $5.00 as promised as soon as you activate your account.

We do realize that our site may not be for everyone but we do try to disclose up front how our site works and how crediting can be obtained. We also have some very helpful articles in the support center as well as 24/7 live chat agents.

Yes, you do get paid for the surveys you take. The pay is very little. I had to spend over an hour on a survey for $30, wasn't terrible I guess. All the short surveys pay like a dollar or less. You can also play games to earn money. I did decide to do this, I had to reach certain levels to get paid. Inbox dollars paid me for the first 2 milestones I hit in the game, after I finally hit level 23 I was supposed to be rewarded $30, I never received my money. The last reward I received was $15 for hitting level 18. All that time trying to level up on this game, for nothing. I waited a little bit, thinking it would just take a few days to show as pending on my inbox dollars account, but it's now been weeks & still nothing. So, it's an okay website to use for some change. Maybe $30 here & there. Just be ready to invest some time in the surveys.

Tip for consumers:
I contacted Inbox Dollars customer service, the only way to contact them was by email. I still have yet to hear back about my issue. I give 0 stars for the customer service for sure.

About the only good thing I can say about them is, when I signed up I got a $5 bonus. After several months building up enough to get a payment, this past Friday, I have enough, and today they close my account. Don't waste your time.
