“Almost perfect”

RICHARD O.
4/27/24

Inbox dollars has been the best app for earning extra money by taking surveys, playing games, reading emails, searching the web, completing tasks, submitting receipts, and much more. I have been a member for 6 years since 2018. The only issue I would like to see change is the amount of time it takes for a reward deposit to hit PayPal. It takes an average of 3 days for me and there are other apps that deposits hit automatically.

“Disappointed”

LASKANWLF g.
3/6/24

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! >=(

I've been with inboxdollars for years. I absolutely love them. I love that they have several ways for us to earn money. They also make it easy to redeem the cash. I remember when they used to send checks. But, now we can choose from an array of gift cards such as Walmart and PayPal to name a couple. I'm InboxDollars for life!

I've made well over $130 in the past 4-5 months just doing the occasional survey on the site and playing the free games from Freebie Friday that InboxDollars send out. It's easy money and comes in handy as I'm on a fixed income. So with this $30 payout, I got an Amazon card so now I can buy something that I "want" but don't particularly "need" and don't feel guilty.

Easy to use web site/app with several options for multiple ways to earn some extra dollars. Surveys, mobile games, offers and receipt scanning to name a few. Tracking your progress on the website or mobile app is easy. The follow-up and communication on any issues (for me) have been on time and reasonable.
Payout is through gift cards, or PayPal, and it's easy to request, reliable and I have seen my payouts (PayPal) in 3-5 business days.

It toke me so long to get $10 and almost 2 days to receive my $10. If y'all want more people to participate in these surveys then y'all need to pay more. I just do it to get a bag of chips and drink from the store when I'm out an about. Be fair it I'm a committed survey taker pay me for my time, instead I'm still getting $0.75 surveys I mean come on. Seriously!

Pay more for my time!

I love everything about inbox dollars except for the fact that I use to get my PayPal reward within a day and now it's been taking more like 3 days and that's disappointing. I would give 5 stars if they've were as fast as other apps I know of that deposit almost instantly or within 24 hrs.

I cashed out 30$ to a prepaid Mastercard, got the email with the code to redeem 2 days later, however an error came up to call customer service, which I did, and could not be helped because I could not provide the "sponsoring company" I read the entire summary of prepaid MC to the rep, but nothing matched. He instructed me to contact inbox dollars, which there is no phone number only an email that takes up to 30 days to reply. A previous attempted contact to inbox dollars customer service email yielded in an automated response 3 weeks later, to wait for a real response for another 30 days. Very frustrating to say the least

I got a $5 American Express gift card that I can't use anywhere...it has a 4 digit cvv code.I have yet to find ANYONE that will accept it...all businesses whether online or actual physical stores ask for a 3 digit cvv code. I can't link it to my cashapp or paypal.i can't do ANYTHING with it at all.its the most worthless piece of crap "reward" there is.thanks for nothing.i gave it one star because it won't let me choose zero stars...it doesn't deserve even 1 star.

The surveys here are actually not as they seem. They'll have you answering questions then either disqualify you or simply quick yu out. A few of them asks my race and kicked me out, the length of pay takes forever to receive and I had to make an account because mine all of a sudden was deleted. Totally unprofessional.

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.

Products used:
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.

I got enough for my first cash out reward at inbox dollars so I got the Amex 15$ virtual gift card "that is excepted basically everywhere" which is the furthest thing from the truth. I tried using at more websites then I can remember, trying different amounts factoring taxes etc, nothing worked I'm hoping to sell it for a lesser value. Hopefully the MasterCard version is better then Amex

Inbox dollars is a good company the Amex card is horrible

So far they aren't keeping up with my progress at all. As far as gaming & surveys go, be vary wary & read every single thing very carefully before you download or commit to it on this or any site! To answer a survey for a very minimal $ amount they wanted very personal info up to & including my Social Security Number! Thank God I caught that first! On another instance a seemingly harmless game wanted to have access & permission to my SIM card in my phone to he able to change whatever they wanted! Absolutely Not! I'm not one to go through small print normally but I'm so grateful I did! Quite frankly I'm beginning to think this is a political information gathering site. They waste your time getting as much info as possible then say oh this survey isn't right for you! What a scam! All I know is, I want my money for completing the tasks in the game I signed up for to begin with!

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.

So far, in every year, I earned approx. $300 to $350 with surveys and few other offers (games, receipts of my purchases in the grocery store, etc.). Good thing to spend time; it is relaxing and I get money for it. You won't be millionaire with this, but it is great pocket money. You can ask for your money as a gift cards (there are fifty or more different gift cards), or PayPal.

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!

4/5- one star removed for unoptimized app

The Inboxdollars app itself crashes frequently opening or mid-survey causing lost progress on various android devices and may take few times opening.

Foy payouts and options to choose from to earn money are actually plentiful and give a good amount of money. Payouts have been consistent which is a great positive

Be sure to read some app and survey small print as some don't immediately reward and have a holding period. Large selection of instant reward types though! Overall happy and would like to see app eventually fixed
