“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.

This has been one of the most misleading wastes of time I've ever experienced. There's so many loop holes and requirements and actually receiving the money or gift cards is beyond frustrating and ridiculous.

This site really pays out, I've made around $70 in just under 5 months of just randomly checking into my account and playing games, taking pictures of receipts, completing simple offers and surveys. There are several gift cards to choose from and some allow you to cash out at as little as $5.
The only bad thing I'm my opinion is the surveys, some say they will only take 5 mins to complete or some approximate time and you can take that time getting into the survey only to answer one question and suddenly get kicked out of the survey, then get a message that states "Sorry, you did not qualify for this survey." So that gets very frustrating some times.
Other than that, InboxDollars really does pay out and it's a great way to earn a little extra money.

Legit and easy gift cards
August 2nd, 2023
• Previous review

InboxDollars is legit, I was able to cash out and get a gift card of my choice when I earned $15 and then got another $15 just for earning $10, so I have already gotten $30 in Amazon gift cards and I've only been using this thing for nearly a month. Inbox has several ways to earn money, like playing games, uploading receipts, taking surveys, searching the web and several more options. My only strong dislike for this app is the way it offers Surveys, it gives you an estimated time it will take to complete a survey and you can end up spending more time than estimated only to be kicked from a survey with a message that states "you did not qualify for this survey". It's very frustrating and time consuming only to receive nothing for the time wasted. So I don't really do the surveys but the other options are great.

I joined Inbox Dollars after reading an article about survey sites that legitimately pay out. So I decided to give it a go. I'm unsure how long it took for me to earn enough for my first cash out, but the money was delivered to me via PayPal within a few days. By this point (June 30, '03) I've done it 3 times for $45 in total. It isn't really time consuming at all, I'm sure that I'd have more if I invested more time. They have surveys, games you can play on their site, rewarded emails, and you can also upload shopping receipts that show you purchased specific products (like eggs or cheese, or Hershey's chocolate) or visited a specific retailer (i.e. Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc.). (They also promote games, and other things that they will reward you for but I'm focusing on those aspects that don't involve downloads or commitments, since I haven't really tried any of those.)

I've made around $400-$500 on this site doing the mobile offers they have. Overall I definitely recommend it.
Some offers pay to little for too much work, while others are more reasonable. Th surveys are kind of a waste of time, since you're likely to get disqualified from most of them, which means the time to spend on it is just wasted.
Sometimes the offers don't track for me, and I have to contact support, but they're Sally really good with getting things sorted once you can prove you've completed the offer.

Inbox $ are the worst survey site out there, they rip you off so bad they should be sued. I'm looking in to that right now, don't waste your time they are truly scum of the earth. I would not even give them one star but that's how these $#*!%%% have it set up.

I like Inbox Dollars. They make it quick and easy to cash out once you reach $10. If you take enough surveys, that can happen quite quickly.

Perhaps this site would be worthwhile for a regular consumer of an enormous variety of products, who has nothing better to do all day than play with online media and discussions. For anyone else, it's just a major pain in the rear. Their "dollars" are much closer to "pennies" (best-paying results I ever got was $1.00 for half an hour's work); they provide virtually no information on their survey options before you click into one, so you can spend 10 minutes answering questions only to be told you don't qualify; and once you're signed up, you can't even take the money and run until you've accumulated a minimum of $30.00 (which can easily take months).

I love inboxdollars.com. I've been a member for several months now, and have easily cashed out over $300 in Amazon gift cards with little efforts on my part. Inboxdollars is a rare gem: a website that actually pays you for trying new products or completing simple online tasks. Rewards are easy to earn, and the reward amounts offered are very generous. It doesn't take long at all to reach the $10 cash-out threshold.

Sometimes the surveys can be time consuming but between then and the offers you can make cash! I cashed out 30 dollars by signing up for an offer from Acorns. Money went right into my PayPal. It was awesome!

So far, I've liked inbox Dollars more than any other survey site. I was able to rack up enough to cash out 45.00. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that I have not received the 15.00 American Express gift card or the 30.00 PayPal gift card. They are eCards but it's only after do they tell you it could take 2-3 days for processing. It's day 3 on one and day 2 on the other and nothing yet. You must also be active on their site to receive your earnings. Most of us utilize these sites because we really need a few extra bucks. Receiving what you redeem should be as quick as possible.

Tip for consumers:
Redemption takes 2-3 days for processing.

Products used:
Took surveys, did daily activities and signed up for offers via their affiliates.

I've been doing surveys, videos, etc for 2 years now. No problem and everything was fine

Then recently I achieved $30, told them to pay my fee and I cashed out. What happened? 1 day later they banned me and won't release the funds. I contacted them and never heard anything back. Total waste of time.

Don't waste your time. You'll be denied all the surveys that our $1.00+ and given a. 25 cent one in replacement. Its a scam in my opinion. Not only that you have to reach $30 before even beginning able to take money out. I've literally had this app for months and only at $7 bucks. Do yourself a favor forget about it, If I could Id give this bull$#*! 0 stars... Oh yeah dont listen to the good reviews those are paid for reviews to bring in more people.

Inboxdollars has been as excellent way for me to earn rewards in my spare time. There are many ways to earn, for example surveys, paid emails, watching videos, shopping and my favorite playing games. There is a good variety to choose from. You set your own pace and the more time you participate means quicker your rewards. Cashing out is quick and easy with several pay out options such as gift cards of your choice, paper check or PayPal. I have not been playing long and i have already cashed out 3times. My experience with the customer service department was far above what i expected. They were prompt to respond as well as resolving issues. Inboxdollars is honestly one of the best sites. Thanks so much inbox dollars. You have made it so easy and fun to earn some extra cash.

It may take a while to build up money simply by clicking on emails, but there are opportunities for surveys and shopping. All of which build your bank faster. Cashing out is super simple. You just click on the gift card you want, and you're done.

Inboxdollars.com really pays out & is pretty easy. I have had a few issues after completing small tasks & offers where I never receive the credit but I figure it has to do with being done from my android phone. I have not contacted their support for this matter. It would be nice if they would post more offers or at least update them more frequently to replace ones that have already been completed. The layout process was pretty seamless & DID NOT take a long time either. Overall, I'm definitely pleasantly surprised with the service provided.

There is no reason to ever consider enrolling in any kind of program that demands participants to pay their money to the program in order to make money. This is nothing more than a technologically proficient envelope stuffing scheme that attracted the same type of victims 20 years ago that are now realizing they've been victimized by this joke of an effort to hook unsuspecting consumers into slaving away for pennies where the sponsors and the founders of this absurd scheme take advantage of economically challenged individuals at every possible turn. Now, can I get my 2.5 cents that I've earned writing this or is there a 1.5 cent fee and a catch that turns my 1 penny left into credit for a lottery ticket?

Tip for consumers:
Be smart, get real, and spend your time doing legitimate work for real compensation.

Surveys get less and the spins are a waste of time once you're close to payout. Does anyone really win with those sweeps from the sweepstakes. Too many offers requires purchases. And why should it take so long to receive a payment especially if you have the card already.

Dear Member,
We wanted to reach out to you and offer some clarification on the site and our advertisers (Offers/Surveys) and how crediting works.
Surveys are provided on the survey page and we have over 7 survey providers so there are always surveys available for you to complete. A few of our survey providers have an extensive list of surveys available to you on their transaction page.
Survey notifications via email can change based on member and how much of the profile surveys you have completed. The more surveys you take the more you are generally offered.

The Spin and Win Wheel was created to offer our members a fun thing to do after being disqualified from a survey and is not intended as a main earning activity on the site. The Sweeps you earn can be entered into drawings for $250, $150, $75, and many other cash drawings along with Target Gift Cards.

We have a list of winners on our Reward Center "Recent Winners" link. http://www.inboxdollars.com/pages/recent-winners

We have FREE offers and we have offers that require purchase. It's up to a member to decide which offers they prefer along with which activities on the site they want to participate in to earn cash.

Payments are processed weekly for Gold Members so if you request your payment by Sun 11:59pm your payment is processed that Wednesday. We offer Check, Prepaid Visa and Merchant eCards for payment options. The PrePaid Virtual Visa and the eCards are sent to you via email the same day your payment is processed. If you request a check or a Prepaid Visa to be mailed please allow time for mailing US Postal Service.

We hope this helps answer your questions and if you need more help please feel free to contact Livechat agent 24/7 for assistance! We also have a full Support Center with a lot of great information there for our members as well.
