They'll send you a million emails a day, which you can't unsubscribe from without cancelling your account, you'll be lucky if you get paid at all because the loopholes for survey providers are far too big, and they take ZERO ethical/integral responsibility for the alleged "money-making" content they advertise to their users. InboxDollars does not screen their survey providers, so survey providers can promise you money, collect your data, and then boot you out of the survey under the provision that you're "ineligible." And there is no way to receive partial payment for your time. This means that there is nothing stopping survey providers from making you fill out the entire survey for free. When I brought this up to InboxDollars support, I suggested changing their 'ignorance is bliss' policy and providing some insurance to their users about getting paid for their time, but they basically just reiterated their policy (that I was already aware of) and did not seem interested in taking any responsibility for the content they get paid to post on their site.

In addition, much of the survey research on this site could be legally questionable, and InboxDollars doesn't seem particularly concerned with protecting their users. Many surveys require personal, identifiable health information to be disclosed, and they don't have IRB approval or informed consent. In most cases, they don't even have a contact in case you have any questions about the survey. You have absolutely no participant rights, even though you probably should in some cases. Imagine if a survey provider was able to steal your identity from a survey you completed... with the gross negligence policy that InboxDollars employs to keep their site populated with surveys, I don't imagine it would be that hard.

You should always be careful about the personal information you share online, but when there are better survey-hosting sites out there, why take extra risk for lower payouts? Go with a more reputable site like Amazon MTURK.

I have been with InboxDollars for about a year and 1/2. I have made about $600 in that time completely on surveys, videos, tv, win-it codes, searches, and spins. I have only done one or two of the free offers because I don't want to spend money to make money. Some days I am disqualified for many surveys, and some days I get to take 3 or 4 of them for a payout. A dollar or two a day adds up. All this is done in spare time so it is really free money. This site will not make you rich, nor will it make you instantly wealthy, but it can give you some spare money earned in your spare time.

Sure they give you $5 to start that you can't claim until you turn it into at least
$30. The majority of their surveys only pay 25 cents. Yes that's it 25 cents. You have to take a lot of surveys to make it to $30. Then the survey will take up 10-15 min of your time asking "qualifying" survey questions and may disqualify you after you have spent 15 min answering questions. Do not waste your time. I'm a real person and my time matters.

I did some research before trying Inbox Dollars and there were mixed reviews. I thought I would go ahead and give it a try it when I needed a little extra cash. I thought it was pretty frustrating to do so much work for pennies, but i was willing to give it a chance. They only pay out when you hit a minimum of $30 so I built and built until I got to about $24.00 (give or take). A few days later they suspended my account and wiped out all my credits. There were several reasons listed why this might happen, but none of them applied to me. I was very frustrated and will definitely not recommend Inbox Dollars to anyone. I will go out of my way to make sure no one I know has the same experience. SAD! Nothing is legit and you just can't trust anything/anyone anymore.

Total SCAM!

This company is a sham! After months finally getting enough points together to get a payout they turn around and say that I violated some contract and was bot or VPN or something like - not sure what those are!

When I first joined and I had issues I thought I'm new at this and will keep at it ti at least get one payout from them. After many surveys telling me that I didn't qualify after completing the entire survey I got nothing while they got all my answers. This happened quite a bit and the ones that I did get paid for is a few cents for anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. So it took me like four months to make $68 and wouldn't you know what as soon as I make a request for my payout I get told I'm not getting anything because my account has been terminated.

I tired talking to someone over there but good luck with that. They never give you a straight answer. You just get vague emails that are generic for quit a few different issues. I have no idea if I'll ever see the money that I honestly made!

Up until November 2017 I would have given this company an excellent review. Sure it is time consuming and annoying that you get disqualified from surveys but if you work at its legit. I was earning 40.00 a month. Them suddenly I had no more surveys. Each day prior I would log in and have 10 or 15 surveys and those would replenish during the day. There was maybe once in 2 years I logged in and no surveys. I chatted with them thinking something must be wrong with the site but was told that they dont control who gets the surveys and I just must not qualify to please check back. Well I have been checking back for 3 months and still have never once had a survey. I chatted again and got the same response. I call bs. How can I go from that many surveys to none? I am the same person so suddenly there is no need for my input? This is ridiculous and I cant get a straight answer. I note on FB and Instagram several other longtime members posted the same exact situation with no response from them. I dont recommend this site. You have no way of knowing when you will be cut off. I also dont appreciate getting the run around from them on this issue. Clearly something happened on their end but they refuse to admit it.
