InboxDollars Reviews Summary

The company has garnered mixed feedback from customers, with positive remarks highlighting the variety of surveys and the potential to earn extra cash. However, significant concerns overshadow these strengths, primarily revolving around prolonged payment processing times and difficulties in receiving rewards. Customers frequently report frustrations with survey accessibility and completion, as well as inadequate customer support when issues arise. The overall sentiment suggests that while the platform offers opportunities for earning, the execution of payouts and responsiveness to customer inquiries require substantial improvement to enhance user satisfaction and trust.

They get you interested with the initial $5 you get for signing up and quickly getting up to about $15 in a day but you need $30 before you can withdraw money and after that initial $10-15 you have to start signing up for offers or banks credit cards etc. and the surveys pay on average. 25 for 10-40 min you can play games for about. 03 of 20min play time

Scam?
March 14, 2019

Scam or not, I'm not sure. Just don't give them your phone number as I was foolish enough to do. You'll be inundated with telemarketer calls.

SCAM

They will string you along until you try to cash out, then deactivate your account due to some small rule in the fine print. You will not get paid!

Over the past five years I have had it pretty hard. Fortunately I was able to keep my phone. I tried to discover ways I could make some money using said phone. I discovered inbox dollars very easily online and thought "I like giving opinions, don't lie and thought I'll try it. The 5$ incentive screaming at me. I thought awesomesauce. Mind you this was almost two years ago. I start my account. Over period of 6 months frequently tried get surveys. I guess they don't want to hear from white middle aged disabled poor people. Still I persevered. At roughly 8 months of building my balance ever so slowlly (never qualifying for surveys) finally I made almost enough to request my 10$. YOU MUST MAKE $10 BEFORE REQUESTING PAYMENT!
I was. 07 away from my $10. Logged in next time to find just one survey to request my $10. Inbox dollars wouldn't let me log in. Said password is wrong. Changed it. Opened app where it told me I hadn't logged in for over six months, balance. 00. Must now start over. I'm a slow learner. Figd well must just be a glitch. So start over again taking another several months to get my $10. This time. 03 away from my ten dollars after they sent me an email recommendation for sure would put me over my ten dollars. In middle of this survey did same thing again. Locked me out of my account and when finally got back into it. Told me haven't logged in for over 6 months, start over! What the actual f**k? Two times two years. $20 $20 $20 $20 $20 $20 BASTOIDS! I could eat on that almost a month! I took it into consideration the first time. Now it's just plain stealing from people. Someone needs shut these thieves down!

December 18, 2018

I HAVE "NEVER", got more than $0.25 per survey you're trying to make money so naturally you're going to pick the2-4 $ ones. Surveys, and EVERY time I click on to start a survey that's more thats $0.25 I never qualify, are they'll be cruel left you start one thanking yes when I get $4 but in my account I can cash out finally two or three questions and it stopped thank you for your time but you do not qualify, so the measly $22, in 7 weeks I EARNED, now that I'm getting Nearer My payout date, they're making ever I can't get it I'm not stupid now I'll even go for a $0.25 survey,& and the new rip-off now is halfway through the 25 cent he did not meet the requirements where the survey but will pay you for your time they gave you a whole nickel? Oh boy that man five more of them and I can buy a piece of bubblegum at the store give me a break, I could keep on going how they won't let you get to your money but I'm starting to get carpal tunnel you get the hint RIP OFF!

I joined Inbox Dollars on a whim. Now, I'm probably going to have to change my number because I get nothing but Spam calls. Inbox Dollars is a worthless website and a huge waste of your time and energy.

Not worth the time
September 12, 2018

Waste of time for the little amount of earnings. You normal do not qualify for surveys and most of the time they retrieve your information well into the survey. They then harass you with phone calls I have 80 dollars in in 3 months putting in many hours a day trying these survey. I Avery about 4 hours a day trying to surveys and receive an average of 50 cents to a dollar a day. Average pay is about a quarter an hour. Then the harassing phone calls begin. Take it from me this is a waste of time. I have also completed survey and didn't receive credit. Not worth the time.

It took me about 6 weeks of logging in every day to earn $40. When I requested a check, a $3 "processing fee" was taken from my earnings.
To top it all off, I requested the check today and was informed that my check would be sent SEPTEMBER 19th.

Waste of time!

Waste of Time Scam
September 2, 2018

- 'paid inbox dollars' = your e-mail inbox gets SWAMPED with junk/virus-filled e-mails every time you click (it's thus NOT worth the spins - not $ - you get
- 'spins' mysteriously crash and time out after just popping open
- get $ on a spin - nope you didn't; just look at your $ amount up top, it didn't change
- surveys rarely, if ever, pay out what is stated if at all
- cannot cash out until you reach $30 (takes forever to get) and once you request a check they take a $3 'processing fee' - then try to entice you with $5 after (Really dude?!)

May take a while to earn and subsequently request payment. However, they always pay. The other thing is, it will take longer if you are not one to opt into using your credit or debit card on offers in order to earn, I click emails, I do searches and I watch tv or videos and then enjoy the scratch and win. But totally up and up is inbox dollars, I've joined back in 2004 and still apply myself because they are real and they do pay. I'd like to win more than I have ever, but still I plug away at it. If you cant take a few seconds to read and page down to confirm an email, then you're losing those earnings, and most wont bother because they feel it's not worth it, but it all adds up. And I've literally gotten paid 5 times since joining. Most of which I let grow because of the $3 processing cash out fee which by the way, in all these years has not been increased! Kudos to inboxdollars.com and to their chat support staff they are really authentic and never have I been cheated out of getting a check!

Stupid
August 28, 2018

I signed up. Followed all of the rules. Spent a large amount of time earning 1¢ to 2¢ IF I was lucky. Then, for my main reward, after spending 45 minutes trying to earn $2 by getting an insurance quote from one of their "paid emails", I was booted from the site & my account was closed. I plan to take walks in my neighborhood looking for pennies on the ground. It will be a better use of my time & I believe I will acquire more cash.

There's a $30 minimum to withdraw your earnings which takes forever to get to because it's hard to qualify for surveys and in the rare chance you do qualify for a survey you'll be lucky to get. 25 cents for it.

Scam

Make pennies, and takes forever. Never get paid, until you reach $30, if doesn't happen because they frequently disqualify you for the survey

Account Deactivated
August 15, 2018

I have been using this program on and off for a few years and I've never gotten any payments out of it (a good 90% of the time I do not qualify for the surveys). I recently started using it on a regular basis & finally got close to $30 & they deactivated my account saying that I had duplicate account with the same IP address when I do not. I have referred friends to this site and I hope they don't experience the same issue when it comes time to request payment. It is definitely not worth the time and effort put into it. It is best to find a more productive way to invest your time.

LOST ALL MY MONEY
July 19, 2018

Don't use inbox dollars. I went back to college and continued to do surveys for a day or two. Then I logon on and my account is DEACTIVATED for violating terms. Apparently a university network violates their terms and conditions. Extremely disappointed.
