“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 on this sight for a few months and I've earned over $300.00 and I've always had money in the account and when lean times come it's easy to get either a gift card or to have it sent to me by PayPal I've recommended it to friends and they all think I crazy. Only has a few to down load it and they realize now I'm not so crazy.

This website has many things available on it, the surveys mostly kick you out after answering questions for about five minutes, and those are the ones they recommend for you! The games are ridiculously stupid, they say you can earn $300 from playing a game for 14 days, then they say you have to reach some idiotic level like 500 or so and you have to buy some nonsense while in the game. My good HONKS. Then there are the offers they give you, most of them require you purchasing things too.

Another Survey Site
January 20th, 2024
• Previous review

This is another survey site which tells you you can earn a lot of money, but in truth, it's about average. They have LOTS of surveys, but most of them kick you out after doing about five minutes. I had 19 surveys the other day, and only got paid for 3. They have these free offers, which have many game apps, but most of them want you to get to some obscene level (like 600) before paying even a dollar. The other offers are for pennies up to 5 cents. Eureka pays better, JustPlay pays better, and Inbox (when it finally does pay out) takes 3 - 5 days to get the money to your bank, not immediate cash out like JustPlay. YouGov is another survey site which pays out well.

I've been using this site for several years now. I understood their bottom line is not to just give out money for free, so with many games you have to get to nearly impossible levels to achieve the high dollar amounts. But it still was a fun way to achieve some extra money while playing games. Recently I completed an offer that they advertised in many places both in email and on their site, but then they refused to honor the amount saying it was an internal error. Their terms and conditions allow them to change or not honor an amount as advertised or promised at their discretion. Which is very untrustworthy to me and makes me want to discontinue use. Their customer service is very slow and basically just says sorry about your luck.

I cashed out 30.00 Dollars and waited for it to be processed. When I received the Email, with the tittle stating 30.00 on it,I opened it only to find it was for 5 bucks. I tried contacting Inbox Dollars and when I went to hit the submit button Nothing at all happened, it never went through! Great Job! I spent a great deal of time Earning that money.

I been with Inbox Dollars a very long time. And the reason I stay other than liking them is because they never keep you very long waiting for your payouts. Also, you use to be only able to cash out at $30. Now you can cash out at as low as &10.

I been doing surveys with inboxdollars for a long time. Back when you had to have $30 to cash out and the survey were usually only twenty-five to fifty
cents, Now some of the surveys can be $1 to $5, And as aways true to form the PayPal payments I always choose as my reward are always not long having to wait for. A great survey site for making some cash or getting other rewards if you choose,

Tip for consumers:
Just have to be patient. All surveys you do don't get approved.

I have been a member of InboxDollars from some time now and love using the site to make extra cash. In addition to doing paid surveys you can play games, submit receipts, do internet searches, get cash back offers on many common shopping sites as well as cash back on purchasing gift cards. It's a great way to earn money if you spend a lot of time online as it is. Over time I have also had the opportunity to join Focus Groups for higher earnings as well as testing consumer products because of my affiliation with InboxDollars. I will forever be a member of InboxDollars as long as they're around.

Fave Survey Site
October 28th, 2023
• Previous review

Inboxdollars has been my fave survey site for years now. Besides surveys you can get credit for receipts, playing games, discounts on online shopping/cash back and more. Customer service is also quick and responsive to issues. I much prefer getting cash as opposed to gift cards so with choosing PayPal cashouts I can transfer these directly to my bank. They do have a great amount of gift cards to choose from if you prefer to cash out to those and even cash back rewards for purchasing gift cards on inboxdollars via GiftCardsPlus.

Great way to earn extra cash!
June 10th, 2021
• Previous review

I absolutely love this company. Have been doing their surveys for some time now and have always gotten prompt payment when cashing out. Their customer service has always been responsive to any problems I may have as well, although there have only been a very few. I really don't understand a lot of the negative comments online bashing them or saying they're a scam because you can honestly earn with them depending on the effort you put into doing their surveys honestly and regularly. I have even been able to take part in product review studies that earn over $20 where they mail you the product to try out over a period of time so the opportunities are not limited to low paying surveys.

Tip for consumers:
Do surveys regularly and answer honestly; not what you think they want to hear.

These are my honest personal experiences with InboxDollars:

First, it is extremely difficult to qualify for any of their surveys. I've wasted A LOT of time trying. You can't cash out until you reach $10, and then you can only get gift cards. There is no option for actual cash.

Second, I found the section where they pay you small amounts for items on receipts you submit. The problem is that they don't always catch payable items, so you have to contact customer service, via a ticket, to get the missing credits.

Third, their customer service is terrible! About 30% of the time, they will respond and give you your missing credits. The rest of the time, they simply ignore your tickets, and your inquiries about your tickets, altogether. It says they really care about your satisfaction in your experiencs on their site, and that you can escalate problems to a Manager, but they just ignore those requests too. I've looked, but there are no other ways to contact them. It's extremely frustrating, and right now they owe me roughly $20 that, it seems, I have no way of collecting.

I would steer clear of InboxDollars, there are way better sites out there that will always address any issues you may have.

You need to get $10 worth of surveys at a minimum in order to cash out dollar-for-dollar, but every time I go to their site and attempt to complete a 25 cent or up to a $1 survey, 95% of the time it kicks me out, "teasing" me with the statement, "we've found a better fit" and providing a link to that survey, but that's garbage, because I still get kicked out again and again. Once in a blue moon I'm able to complete a survey for about $3 or more and that, along with their "Magic Receipts" which you scan in from grocery and some other stores are the only things that merit my attention. One time I bought potatoes and they were on special for the "Majic Receipts" and I received about $3.50. I don't like the fact that they don't take Amazon.com receipts, because I shop a lot on that site. I also don't like the fact that they're somehow connected with another survey site which won't take a scanned receipt if I already used it with Inbox Dollars. Every time I cash out I tell myself that this will be the last time but somehow I seem to be a glutton for punishment.

A lot of wasted time taking surveys which you can't complete.
November 22nd, 2023
• Previous review

Most, and I emphasize most, of their surveys can't be completed and, if you do so, they're not worth many points. You need to accumulate a minimum of $10.00 worth to cash in. The only way I collect points is by doing surveys, although there are other means. Sometimes I complete surveys worth maybe $3.00 or more but that is few and far between. There are other sites which have easier means of completing surveys.

Legitimate survey site but difficult to earn rewards.
December 8th, 2022
• Previous review

It's quite difficult to complete surveys. Many of their surveys take a long time to complete but there are some every so often which are worth $5 or more when you successfully complete them, and this goes a long way towards the minimum of $10 to qualify for redemption. When you do apply for a redemption the reward code usually gets sent to you within hours, unlike other sites which can take a week or so. Depending upon the account to which you prefer to have them apply it can be very easy to get the reward code and convert it. In summary, I wouldn't rate InboxDollars the best survey site but if you like to have more than one survey companies it's one that I would ddefinitely consider.

Tip for consumers:
Take the surveys as soon as they come into your email.

I've been using inbox for several months. At first it was ok,I made a little money, but this is the hardest site to navigate! You can't possibly get to the required levels on games to make any money, it's absolutely impossible! The surveys are useless. Customer support is basically non existent. I'll be uninstalling soon,just trying to get my last few dollars. Inbox DO BETTER!

It was so easy to fill out the surveys and end up with two different Tarjet cards to use this past Saturday. I do recommend if you don't print out the e-cards to save it and upload it onto an e-mail. There is a pin that is on the left side that is important to share with the cashier. I only had to pay 8 cents for what I received at the store.

It's nice to have so many choices on gift cards. I had a hard time last year with the vanilla visa card because I wrote down the number of the card and forgot where I put it. I still had a couple of dollars left on it and it expires in May. I wanted to transfer the rest of the balance to another gift card. The card was hard to use at certain websites as well. This time I only took out $5 from the payout because I wanted to save up more for maybe a Paypal card and it's nice you can make choices on how much to put on a card.

I love inbox dollars! They have tons of different tasks you can choose from to make some extra money. I've earned 70$ from completing just 1 task! It of course depends on you and how well you follow the instructions and you keep tabs on tasks you complete. I have had to email them because I never got compensated on something i did in fact complete, but customer service is great and just need proof that you really did complete the offer, which is only fair, but once you send that in they happily credit you any missing money, or correct Amy mistakes. They have been super helpful in these uncertain and flat out crappy times with things being so expensive. I'm super grateful for them! Oh, one more thing, in case I wasn't clear, they truly do pay, this is NOT a scam like so many others out there are.

Tip for consumers:
Just keep track of the options you choose to complete because sometimes they aren't notified by the apps developer that you did infact complete all requirements, and you only have 24 days past the waiting period to submit a ticket to inbox dollars to get those funds credited.

I take surveys sometimes, but mostly I look for apps to download and by trying them and sometimes getting to a certain level in sobmany days, then you can make a nice chunk of change.

Many various surveys to do, but there's disappointing situations. For example: Numerous times you'll spend an inordinate amount of time on one, get to the very last page, successfully click on the "Finished" button and only THEN it rejects you by saying "We Found a Better Survey For You".? You receive no money whatsoever! That's extremely frustrating and a waste of a members time! They could at least give you a partial monetary reward for your efforts or attempt! Not good! >=(
