“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.

When I began three years ago, it was easy to earn and meet a daily goal. Now, I am ready to quit. Surveys don't work. I can't even get in to answer one question on most surveys. When I rarely get to finish a survey, it doesn't pay out. Games and partner sites are hit and miss. I have to constantly submit tickets and don't always get someone who pays attention to details or takes time to comprehend the situation correctly. I have not been paid for all I've completed, which is beyond frustrating. I'm finishing up my last activity, but don't know if it will actually award. Then I'll wait for my pending credit to come through, cash out, and be done. I would not recommend this site.

I just joined and I can already tell it is a scam website. After answering about 10 questions on a survey, it tells you do not qualify for that survey and kicks you off. Don't waste your time.

Overall the game experience was excellent. I was having lots of fun. However, when it came time to cash out, mind you I was almost convinced that it was really legit (to the point that I excitedly started promoting it to all my family and friends); I even went as fast as getting the actual virtual debit card with my outstanding $334+ pay out, and then, I tried to order something with the card, and it was a BIG FLOP! I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET MY AWARD AFTER PLAYING ALL THE GAMES FOR ALL THE MONTHS I WAS PLAYING. In fact, I can't even get into my profile (prepaid card sponsor) it received any email regarding my profile.

Tip for consumers:
It's my money and I want it now!!!

Inbox Dollars is a website that allows people to a little (emphasis on little) money by taking surveys and also playing mobile games. It is legit and really works. It can be a huge time suck to try to make any real money, so I would recommend it for something fun to do to pass the time, explore new mobile games, and taking online surveys. The survey portion is incredibly bogus for me because about 90% of the time, if you answer a question that "disqualifies" you from the rest of the survey, it kicks you out and says you don't qualify for the survey. So spend 20 minutes answer questions to try to earn $1, for example, and all of a sudden, kicked out. Then, they may suddenly flag you for not answering properly and then you can no longer take surveys. This is why I quit trying to do anything with this website other than the occasional mobile games. Keep in mind, giving out all your personal information comes with risk and a lot of spam. Good luck and hope this helps.

The site is a waste of time. I was completing a 17 minute survey on Inboxdollars and about 10 minutes into the survey, the attached message was displayed:

The survey has been reset since you started taking it.
To restart it, please follow the link in the email or other website that originally sent you here.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

If that doesn't happen, I attempted to complete three surveys and after answering around 10 questions. Then this was displayed for all three surveys:

We found a better survey
That last one wasn't the right fit.

No points earned. Scam website.

Don't waste your time with the site.

Update: On 10-11-24, I received an e-mail from InboxDollars with this subject: Level up to your first gift card with this $1 Bonus! When you click "Claim your bonus!" McAfee WebAdvisor displays this:

Website status:
Risky
www.click.inboxdollarsemail.com/

This site contains potentially dangerous content that could harm your computer. We blocked it so you can continue browsing with confidence.

I clicked a survey where the site claims you will get $6 and the following is displayed:

Due to the nature of the survey, this survey does not reward instantly. Please allow approximately 6-9 weeks to receive the reward. In order to receive the full reward, you must provide accurate and thoughtful responses. Responses may be reviewed by humans for Rewards eligibility. Rewards issued after final review of all responses.

I bet after the 6-9 weeks, they'll find a reason not to reward the $6. Also Malwarebytes Browser Guard displayed the following regarding that survey:

Website blocked due to adware. Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this page because it may contain malicious activity.

Just a heads up, if the survey contains samplicio.us in the link or is from zampparticipant or Zamplia, they won't reward you anything. Beware. Update on 11-20-24: I have been using Surveyjunkie and the surveys that contain samplicio.us in the link or are from zampparticipant or Zamplia don't work on there either.

Also the closer you get to $15, the more times a survey kicks you out and rewards you nothing after you've answered questions.

11-19-24 - The same user won both the $100 Giveaway and the PayPal $100 prize. Users should only be allowed to win one prize per sweepstakes. See attachment.

11-26-24 - Whatever survey I click on, even the ones that pop up as recommended for me, now display "we found a better survey, that last one wasn't a good fit" I've cashed out recently so I'm just going to use Survey Junkie now since it's impossible to find a survey that works on InboxDollars.

12-24-24 - I tried InboxDollars again today and only 8 out of 61 surveys awarded me anything. That's only 13%. It's mainly a waste of time. Use Survey Junkie instead.

12-25-24 - A survey where I watched an ad for Chipotle and answered questions about what restaurants I eat at and how often came up twice today. Both times upon answering all of the questions, the message was displayed that they found a better survey for me and I received nothing. So a heads up for people who read this, if you get a survey where you have to watch an ad for Chipotle, don't waste your time. They won't award you anything.

I have been using this site for a few years now and LOVE it! I have made over $1000 and just cashed in another $100 for a virtual Visa card that I can use any where. The games are fun and have different levels of complications and the surveys are pretty much easy and tailored to you. If any problems ever occur I simply reach out to customer service and have never had to wait more than 48 hours for a reply and more often then not a rectification of any issues.

The positive: The payouts occur with in the 10 days they advertise. I have deposited almost $200 from game play and daily bonuses.

The negative: They still owe me $100 dollars I earned through game play. I have contacted them through their help page more than a month ago, but have not received a reply.
