“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 just read through all the reviews for inboxdollars.com and the very last comment listed, or the first comment posted, at the bottom of the webpage mentioned a survey that was affliated with Experian credit services. This is not entirely true. I will give all of you some inside information on all the surveys you are filling out information for, especially if you are giving you name, address, etc., and the surveys ask about your buying trends and health questions and things you want to do in the future, or more likely to do in the future (have a baby, buy a house, etc.). Experian has 2 parts to its business - 1 is credit monitoring and 2 - is Marketing in the form of mass data collection on individuals to sell databases to companies who want to sell you things. So basically, the surveys collect "behavorial" information on you and this info is sold to many, many companies who maintain databases to sell to these companies that want to do a mass mailing, or something like that, for certain individuals that met x, y, z criteria from the behaviorial database they bought from Experian. I used to work at Experian and programmed these databases for sale per client specific requested formats. Think Junk Mail! So, be very careful with the info you are giving out in these surveys (any survey on any website, not just inboxdollars.com) and more than likely when a survey comes back and says "sorry you did not qualify" it probably actually got all the info it was needing to collect in order to be sold for a certain campaign. See, these people who sell your info to places like Experian Marketing Services get big bucks and then they turn around and give you pennies, or give you nothing! They are the ones making the money! Genius if you ask me! But bad news for you, the naive consumer who is tempted into joining these sites to make an extra buck or two. Just be very careful with the info you give out about yourself.

I recently signed up with inboxdollars to check them out as I was referred to it by a family member. I will say playing the games is a cool option and do far I haven't had an issue with that path.

I rarely qualify to do the surveys which is honestly annoying.

FOR THE BAD PART. NEVER SIGN UP TO RECEIVE A VIRTUAL PREPAID DEBIT CARD THROUGH THEM! I HAVE 2 AND NEITHER OF THEM NEITHER OF WHICH WORK AND IT'S AS NIGHTMARE JUST TO DEAL WITH IT. I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A NEW ONE IN THE EMAIL WHICH NEVER CAME FINALLY WAS SENT A "NEW" VIRTUAL PREPAID DEBIT CARD WHICH HAS THE SAME EXACT INFORMATION AS THE ONE BEING REPLACED. AFTER LITERALLY SPENDING MY WHOLE DAY CALLING AND GETTING A HOLD OF CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY SAY THEY NEED TO CHARGE ME TO SEND ME A PHYSICAL CARD WHICH IS WRONG AS THE PROBLEM IS ON THEIR END AND NOTHING I DID. I STILL HAVEN'T EVEN CALLED IN REGARDS TO MY SECOND ONE BECAUSE OF HOW OF A NIGHTMARE IT WAS DEALING WITH THE FIRST ONE. THE KICKER I'M NOT EVEN GUARANTEED THERE PHYSICAL CARD WILL WORK IF/WHEN I RECEIVE IT. OH, AND WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY LISTED ON THE EMAIL THAT THE CARDS ARE THROUGH IT SAID THE CARD WAS NEVER ACTIVATED BUT WHEN I CALLED THE PHONE ON THE CARD THEY SWORE UP AND DOWN THE CARD WAS ACTIVE AND VALID YET EVEN WHEN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON WAS ON THE PHONE I TRIED THE NEW CARD FINALLY SENT TO MY EMAIL 6 HOURS LATER IT DECLINED YET AGAIN.

They don't give you the option to change your email if you want/need to and suggest you put in a ticket which can and most likely will take them 30 days just to respond not actually do anything just to say hey we got your ticket.

I would say playing the games and cashing out is worth not doing surveys but I honestly haven't even collected the money I supposedly earned for completing what I have because of the inability to have proper working cards.

I will be posting an update whether the card works or not if/when I receive the physical card. I'm honestly preparing for it to not work. At this point I want the $10 one to be cancelled and sent back to my inboxdollars account because I have yet to receive the $30 one I had so many problems with.

Tip for consumers:
THEY NEED TO SWITCH WHOEVER THEY USE FOR THEIR VIRTUAL PREPAID DEBIT CARDS BECAUSE WHEN I WAS WITH SWAGBUCKS I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OPTION I CHOSE.

Googling InboxDollars will bring up mixed reviews. As with Cashcrate, InboxDollars, which is owned by CotterWeb Enterprises, works using offers and surveys. The surveys are considered impossible to qualify for, as the survey companies are very specific in the demographics from whom they want information.

With InboxDollars, users earn five dollars for joining and can cash out at thirty dollars. Other than offers, users also receive paid emails, which pay two cents just for clicking them, plus hundreds of addictive games, also with a cash payout. Many users have reported dedicatedly playing their favorite games for several weeks, before realizing that no money has been added to their account. Upon inquiring with the support center, users are typically told that InboxDollars is not responsible and that payment will happen if and when the game hosts ever confirm their having played.

The offers aren't any better, though they are more attractive, as many do not require credit card information in order to be considered complete. However, once an offer is completed InboxDollars closes the page, leaving no record of it having been completed. Many complaints have been submitted by users claiming to be owed credit on numerous offers on which they wasted valuable time and offered up their email for spam. Again, contacting the support center seems to be fruitless, and many are met with rude responses from scammers whose job is to absolve InboxDollars from all responsibility towards the user.
Finally, of those who have made it to the thirty dollar payout threshold, many have complained that upon requesting their payment, InboxDollars mysteriously canceled their accounts and their money was lost.
In conclusion, InboxDollars appears to be a scam, with its main aim to collect email address to sell to third parties, leaving the user with nothing but an inbox full of spam to show for their efforts.

Hi Erin!
It's no fun when a password is forgotten but we can help!
Can you contact a LiveChat agent to assist? The link for LiveChat is in your Support Center in the bottom right corner.
We do not send new passwords but will send you an email with a password reset link you can use to make a new password.

If your link in the email is not working than this can be due to having Popup blocker enabled. The link in the email is a pop up so if you have Popups turned off for InboxDollars the embedded link will not work.

Contact Livechat 24/7 if you need more help!

I have been letting them buy me a mani/pedi or a new pair of shoes every few months for 7 years now. They pay like they say they will. I don't bother with the surveys and I only sign up for offers that i truly have a need for but still get a check every 2-3 months for $3o. I don't get that many outside emails because of them because I don't abuse the system to try to get every penny I can out of them by signing up for things I do not want.

Is this a way to earn money to make a living! OF COURSE NOT! If you want to earn a living, get out there and work. But this is definitely a way to get yourself a treat every once in a while.

Inbox dollars sends about 20 emails a day. All you really have to do is click the link and let the new page load to earn 2 cents. That takes you about 2-3 months (depending on how many offers you REALLY do want to do) to earn the $30 payout. If you aren't signing up for every offer they have, the "spin off emails" are minimal.

I will continue to allow them to make money off my minimal little click for each email and give me a little in return for another 7 years I am sure.

Please don't think you are ever going to earn enough money to pay your bills and make ends meet sitting at your computer for minimal effort. That is how you get yourself scammed and bogged down in useless emails. Most surveys are ways to just get info from you and most of them are going to tie you up for 30-45 minutes then say you don't qualify. So use that time look for a job instead and stop wasting it sitting in front of the computer trying to get something for nothing.

I wish you all the best! Hope you do decide to try inbox dollars for what it was intended for and enjoy your little treat a few times a year for your efforts.
