“Just got a $30 payout!”

Michelle S.
2/15/24

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.

Top Critical Review

“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 like that you can cash out to other platforms such as PayPal, Amazon, eBay and much more.
I just don't care for the pending time. Not just from the other sites but the cash out time as well.
But hey, it's nearly free money all in one place.

Good for earning cash, easy cashouts, good options for gift cards but customer service is horrible if you have an issue.

I'm not happy for, even with screenshots of proof, that I was cheated out of a $65 reward from a paid email through inbox dollars, all cause it's not in their system... Convenient.
I honestly want a full refund of the money I paid in that paid email, tbh.
But other than that, they're good to cash out my $10 when I have it to cash out

This app has been pretty decent for making small amount of money in my spare time. It could be better though. Mist surveys do not pay much at all. Usually between 25 and 75 cents for up to 25 minutes. What I do not like at all it when im halfway thru a survey and get denied for answering something in a way they dont like. Especially when it comes to my race or political stance. After 15 minutes into a survey, thats crap.

The overall program is getting better at the various ways to make money. The app isn't showing my earnings and doesn't allow me to upload receipts or take surveys. Most of the time it won't even sign in, saying connectivity issues

This is a legitimate Site & it does actually pay as Stated. However, Far to much time must be spent doing Pre-survey qualifying(5+mins, only to qualify for 1 every 10 surveys, the qualifying survey is typically 15+mins, and the typical Payout is often miniscule (25¢,-$1, average is 50¢). 25mins(5) to 50mins(10) to find (1) qualifying Survey + 15+mins for (1) Survey = 40min - 1+hrs of your time for 25¢-$1. Signing-up for the "Offers" to get paid almost always requires a payment for a service or Game and includes a time frame, either a minimum time using a service or attaining an impossible Level on a game within a short time frame (level 50 in 5days = many many hours of game play for a few dollars). Paid emails, videos, coupons/receipts are only worth a few cents, and the coupons are rarely useful. Once the minium payout has been reached, there are numerous ways of payment, including PayPal & a variety of gift cards, which usually only take a few days to receive.

Tip for consumers:
The amount of time and energy required for minimal payout.

InboxDollars cash out for a digital card takes too long. I thought I was going to receive it right then, but I didn't. I wanted to pay a very small bill, but I had to wait a few days to get the digital card.

You can make a small amount of money on this app if you spend the time. You make it easier and faster in the beginning but the longer you have it, longer it takes to make money cause all the easy offers have been done. Get declined for about 80% of surveys on here and no longer am able to do playtime and I dont understand why. When you request cash it takes up to 10 days to get it (avg 3-5 days)

I've had this app for about 1 year or alittle over and no matter what I couldn't reach 30$ cash out mark. Well that changed with the playtime being fixed. Made over a 100$ in 1 day. Now I'm my $ and I'll rewrite and give the app over 3 stars

The surveys are legit and it's not difficult to get to $30 cash if you just do surveys and the daily activities, but the Receipts process and results is just awful. It rarely accepts receipts I submit, even if it includes every bit of info required. Useless.

Takes forever to get paid out and verified sometimes you don't get credited for finishing a task but mainly the slow payout is what blows

They don't lie about making no ey I've cashed out twice now and recieved payment but when you need to change something like your phone number they want a government I'd but if it's not a certain one it won't work even if by our government and state standards I can use the same photo id to buy tobacco and/or alcohol it just doesn't work as a license which I currently do not have so that makes this whole thing too complicated and I e never been told any of this untill I cashed out and now I have no idea if I will be receiving it or not at this point because the customer support people I've spoken too just seem to repeat themselves and ignore anything I say so it can be good till it's not I guess not sure how many others are going through or have gone through the same thing but I'm not making enough through them to take money I don't have and fix current financial issues keeping me from getting my license back when I have more important things that need to be paid for first like food for my kid and bills

It really does let you cash out, but getting to the limit is not as easy as they let on. Don't even bother with the game offers, they make it sound so simple and you get a good cashback, average $30, but the goal you have to meet to get it is ridiculous, like getting to level 250 within 14 days when it cost coins to play every level. I've tried several and never even got halfway there before the time ran out. Of course I didn't spend real money to play more levels either. The surveys work once every few daya, but if you really grind the online games and videos you can get a little bit of money.

Tip for consumers:
Try and reach the daily goal, confirm all the paidemails and scratch the 2nd ticket every time.

Not good you have to wait up to 10 days for payment. You do all the work and put time in to it and you have to wait 10 days should be seconds its a gift card not good not happy

First time you have to earn $15.00 that's cool it paid out quicker than the second time of $10.00. I feel like if you were able to cash out the first time being $15.00 then all other times after wards shouldn't take any time. If they can accommodate this I'll return to inbox dollars. I did/do enjoy the games. Thank you.

Tip for consumers:
Be patient you'll receive your payment.... eventually!

I thought I was requesting a physical MasterCard, but accidentally ordered a Virtual MC, which doesn't work everywhere. I wish they would offer direct deposit to a bank account. It would make everything so much easier! Ugh

I was happy at first still waiting for my Visa though.its been just 2 days but the games almost are impossible to meet the goal s they give you to achieve payouts. Like reaching level 150 in 14 days is unheard of

Needs work on crediting what rewards you completely complete I have finished an completed at least 4 different offers an I never have received the points. This gift card took forever to complete. An since I've redeemed I haven't gotten it yet an it been almost a full day. So I'm unsure wish I could have a better experience to give a better review
