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.
Not worth it. You never get credited for surveys you take, they will do absolutely everything to get out of paying you, they didn't want to pay me so they blocked me from live chat after complaining several times that I didn't receive credit for something, and they of course have no phone number to be reached at because they don't want to have to hear these hundreds of complaints about being a scammer company when they already know they scam people. Horrible, horrible company.

I've been with InboxDollars since June 2011, back when you only got paid for surveys and checks in the mail. Once my kids got older, I didn't qualify for most of the surveys. So I'm glad they have other ways to earn... Games, Apps, Offers, Receipts, etc. I get games all the time (it's a nice way to try out games or offers and once you complete it, you can decide to keep it or delete it) sometimes they're easy and worth a couple dollars, sometimes they take a long time and you can earn $60 or more. I only do offers or games that are free and I earn "money" (I get Mastercard prepaid virtual gift cards and just pay bills down with it but there are tons of different kinds of gift cards) every month, sometimes only $30, sometimes a couple hundred. It all depends on how much you're willing to put into the games to earn or go through offers. Requesting "cash" is easy and you usually get it in a couple days. Customer Care has been exceptional every time I've contacted them! I love them, clearly since I've been with them for a long time. Try them out, you have nothing to lose!
I've uploaded 2 screen shots, proof of how long I've been with them and proof of a redeemed $100 gift card. They are absolutely legit! Good luck!

Legit website. Be sure to read the small print. Almost impossible to fulfill the requirements for the games for free, but for stuff you might have already done anyway can cash out a decent amount of money. Probably the only website I actually find worth keeping up with

So I don't really do this for an income but just to make a few extra dollars($27). Now I don't get on the site every day because it isn't worth all that. Every once in a while I'll get on and try to get a survey. I'm lucky if I can get one and it's usually for some ridiculously low amount of change. Usually just end up spending 20-30 minutes trying to qualify for a survey. So there is that. Now about the other offers... so I applied and got approved for fingerhut and never received my payout. Hah then they tell me they can't give me the payout because I waited too long. So basically I'm screwed because they never sent it and I didn't pay attention. It's a pretty smart way of not paying out money. Needless to say, I'll just keep doing the emails and leave it at that. Maybe I'll get a check in a year, maybe not.

To be perfectly honest I thought it was a scam but seeing as the pandemic shut slot of stuff down I started playing more games and this said it would pay to reach certain goals so just kept at it. Long story short it is not a. Scam mad 50 bucks payed to my PayPal directly, only thing I would like to see is more games I'm a true gamer.

You won't get rich, but extra pocket money for playing games, doing surveys and searching the web is a good trade off. In a month I made $70 doing things I would have been doing anyway.

After taking surveys for months, giving my best, honest, thoughtful answers, and collecting my cash, you suddenly cut me off, without warning, saying I was, all of a sudden, doing it wrong. I have no way to ask you what I suddenly did so wrong! I was nearly halfway to my $30 gift card! I had to crawl the rest of the way, one penny at a time by doing months of your 1 cent scratch offs... which I once thought were fun, in-between surveys... So heartless and unfair! I enjoyed the surveys and did not cheat!

Always there when i need a little extra money. You need to be patient though. Takes awhile to get some of these rewards but it always helps at the right time.

This site is legit, I've already received a check for $43. But it takes a while to accumulate that kind of amount. Also, you have to accept that you will NEVER be in contact with any kind of customer service. If you use a separate email for all of the offers, then you won't have to deal with the spam email they send and it works out alright. Other than that it's a decent way to make some extra cash.

Don't waste your precious time, If they told me earlier I would not waste my time on there. You would never get your money out. I am still yet to see anyone that actually got a check from inbox dollars
Date of experience: July 15, 2011
It takes patience to reach the first 30 dollars but they do send you a check.
I got mine two weeks after requesting payment.
I don't qualify for a lot of surveys though because I don't have children.
They never terminated my account even though I was inactive for a year.
I like that you get paid not a lot but it's still something for downloading apps and for your searches.
I wish they pay a bit more but if you keep at it daily you can make some extra cash. Think of all the time you waste online playing games, they don't pay you a cent!
I say thank you. It is a bit like a game to me..

I just received a American Express virtual gift card from inbox dollars and it's invalid. I really need that $5 for food for myself. We need to come over the solution.

I have been using www.inboxsollars.com now for about 1 and 1\2 months now and I am totally satisfied with my experiences. I have earned about $40 in gift cards with ease doing fun activities and accessing new services and apps that have been a true benefit to me. Thanks for this easy opportunity. I was able to cash out with ease and got payment quick. I did have a little trouble with my credits from one of the sponsoring companies, but the customer service team handled my issue quick fast and resolved to my liking. Thanks again! I look forward to many more rewards to come!

1.2 cents to open mail - pays most times but will take forever to cash out.
2. Surveys that pay 25 cents here pay 1 - 2 dollars on site they originate from. Meaning this site is keeping the difference! Go to original site without going through inbox!
3. Offers - May pay in full right away, may never pay at all.
4. Cash out - Reach 30 dollars cash out for 27 dollars. A 3 dollar fee to cash out which can be avoided if you add another 10 dollars in 30 days (yea right). But the 3 dollars is given back as a credit to your account.
KEEP doing stuff on site until check arrives or account will be discontinued and you will not get paid.
Bottom line waste 2-3 hours a week here and maybe get 27 dollars a year for it... MAYBE!
Tip for consumers:
Don't!
If you do document everything and prepare for a long fight if calling them out for non-payment.

It's a real way to win and earn a bit of pocket money. I once scratched to win $100 PayPal Gift card. Customer service is slow to reply. I'm having some problems getting paid on the Public App Offer and the sierra Club Offer. Sent an email to customer service, have not heard back with answers in a while

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.

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.
Date of experience: April 15, 2013
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

They payout and they have an amazing customer service team.

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.
Date of experience: June 30, 2020
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.
