InboxDollars has a rating of 2.8 stars from 1,800 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about InboxDollars most frequently mention gift card, personal information, and phone number problems. InboxDollars ranks 4th among Work At Home sites.
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.
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.
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.

Inbox dollars is a SCAM! You take the surveys. But when it comes time to receive your payment (via PayPal in my case). You have to link your PayPal account to inbox dollars. They want you to verify you inbox dollars account by send you a code to your phone. The ask you for the phone number associated with your inbox dollars account. When you enter your phone number you get an error message saying that the phone number is associated with another account. Over and over again. Contacting "customer support" is pointless as you cannot talk to anyone. You are required to submit a "ticket" explaining your problem and you NEVER get any response (not even days later). Repeated attempts at submitting customer support ticked is pointless, because again they NEVER respond. So Inbox Dollars GET THEIR SURVEYS TAKEN WITHOUT EVER PAYING OUT!

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I signed up about two months ago have already made over $60 which I cashed out to my Paypal account. You can choose different gift cards also. But cash you can spend anywhere. I mostly play games also do my daily checklist and occasionally surveys. But I looked at it as I already play games on my phone why not earn while playing. Your not going to get rich if your looking for that but to earn a little side money? For playing since feb-march18th. I've cashed out $60. Not to bad I think...
Tip for consumers:
When you send referrals to friends and family you earn $1 for them signing up and 30% of what they earn.

I was with InBoxDollars for almost exactly 9 years. God only knows why I stuck with them that long. They informed me yesterday that I could only take surveys from Peanut Labs and when I tried to do that this morning I was kicked out of every one of them. When I was asked to give feedback on my delightful experience I said I thought I had been rejected due to age discrimination. At that point my account was abruptly and permanently locked. I have a little over $24 in my account, but I need six dollars to cash in. They've paid me exactly 10 times in all these years and the last time was March of 2019. So... the little..."bums" are going to cheat me out of money I've to acquire for more than a year. They are just the worst. I had a better experience at Toluna and they were pretty bad.

I've been using Inboxdollars for a few months now and they are easily one of the best money making websites out there. The cash out is quick the only thing is that customer support is kind of slow getting you help but once they do get around to it they are usually very helpful and can easily fix the problem your having pretty quick. I like Inboxdollars it's a great side gig to make money. They offer so many different ways to earn money my favorite is playing games to earn money they have all types of games you can play to earn money I definitely recommend Inboxdollars to anyone who wants to earn a little extra money.
Tip for consumers:
Save proof of every time you complete an offer because sometimes they don't credit your account for some reason but if you summit a help ticket with proof they will almost always give you the credit right away

I have been a member for less than 2 months and I'm on my fourth check earning now. I love this survey site. You have to keep at it to make money. I get probably 12 survey turn downs a day but I keep going. Good luck to all who are starting its lots of fun. You can make money.

This website enables users to earn certain amounts of money by uploading their grocery receipts, taking surveys etc. It is very easy to use and the payout is very simple.

Since my last review, low and behold I have no available surveys, down from many per day to zero. I've used my spins down from 100 to 16. I posted my last review on Facebook and thank you for the 20,000 people who viewed it. I still believe my high survey non-qualifying rate is due to age and education, but no surveys in over a week? Retaliation?

I've been using inbox dollars for about a year and a half now. I'm not going to lie there is definitely better platforms to earn on but inbox dollars is very legit and the customer support will take care of you if any issues ever arise and I've only had one issue the whole time I've been using them. It is worth it to use this platform.

I've been a member for 1 month now and I have received my $27 dollar check because they charge $3 to process it) It's time consuming BUT if you have the time then why not. Don't expect a lot of money when you are doing surveys online! I feel like survey sites are meant for emergency money. If you feel like you have all the time in the world going to waste, hop on the computer and give it a try.

It's simple, informing, and not a bad way to make a few extra bucks and even save a few extra bucks while your at it. It's a win win. Fill out things you actually need. Auto Insurance quotes. I found one that cuts my old insurance price in half. Stock Market Guides. I use a new Debit Card thru a Stock Marketing Company that points you in the right direction to start earning. You just do the rest. Pretty happy with what I've made in the time I've used the site and very happy with the money I've SAVED. Those partnered with new and better understanding of money making and saving and making right money decisions has actually brought me up in life a tiny bit. Pretty cool stuff.
Tip for consumers:
Don't just go and start doing every survey you can as fast as you can. You'll burn yourself out and miss out on the real stuff that actually will be a positive step in many different areas of life.

I recently started taking advantage of inboxdollars.com as a way to make a little extra money. I have completed many surveys and I was able to get my first payout of $40. I tried to get another payout for $10 and it's been 7 days and still no payout. I don't know what the hold up is, but you can't get a straight answer from them. I don't think I will be using them anymore.
