“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! >=(

Within the past 2 months I have already cashed out $15.00 Walmart gift card, two $10.00 Prepaid MasterCards, and can do a $5.00 cash out right now. Quick redemptions. Highly recommend, why not get paid for what you do in your spare time. Your time is valuable.

I have had several rewards unaccounted for, never pending and stays in the "viewed" status. The rewards I am credited and available for "cash out" take about 5 business days to receive in my email which the virtual mastercard I choose as my most recent "cash out" had limitations on what I was allowed to buy and declined at multiple stores. I really enjoy the app and the ease of making a couple dollars but really wish the money I essentially worked for would just deposit into my bank account or be available to use immediately through my apple pay.

So I'm sure that all of you, like myself, have agreed to take surveys in hopes of achieving the promised reward upon completion. Then what happens? One survey turns into another, and then another, and before you know it, your just aggravated with the whole thing and then you quit. Me too, been there done that. Then I found InboxDollars. They have multiple choices for you to decide on how you want to rewarded, i. E. gift cards, PayPal deposits, or my own personal favorite, a check mailed to your home address. The surveys are simple and on average pay between 25 to 75 cents each, I have been paid as much as 4 dollars though, and they usually take 8-15 minutes to complete. What are you waiting for? FREE MONEY!

With all of the possible ways one can earn real cash with InboxDollars its extremely easy to cash out on a regular basis. I remember when it was difficult to withdraw money from InboxDollars, they had a high withdrawal amount, but they have gotten better over the years. InboxDollars has improved many things as apart of their service including how to cash out easier. You can cash out at $10 with PayPal, they process takes a few days sometimes just 24 hours. It's a legit way to earn some extra cash.

Tip for consumers:
Make sure the email you sign up with is the email attached to your PayPal

It does payout through a variety of surveys, bingo cards that will necessitate adding a Chrome Extension. The first Payout tier is high, I believe $15 and then goes down to $5 after. Almost every time I cashout I encounter some sort of problem or have to wait longer than I think it reasonable, as other sites of similar size and caliber don't seem to have any problem having near immediate cash out options available

I absolutely recommend this website for making money. I'm not saying that you'll get rich overnight but I have cashed out a couple times and it is totally legit. My only issue with the site is how long it takes to receive your reward once cashed out. It doesn't take months but I would prefer if it would be 24 to 48 hours instead of 5 days

Tip for consumers:
Be patient it is totally worth it

If you have patience and determination, it will eventually pay off. Of course, I would like to see more money (who wouldn't?), but the reward/effort ratio is fair.

Tip for consumers:
If you don't have extra time, don't attempt. It requires time and a lot of patience.

Doing the rewarded offers is a great way to make some cash. Most take a month to post to your account and most require a few bucks (that you can indeed turn right around and get back in most instances) to get the offer started, but if you sign up for like 4 or 5 at once you're looking at a $2-300 payout that you can get directly to your PayPal and that ain't bad my friend

I love the site and cash out often. The only thing I wish would improve would be the scratch and win probabilities. I only ever win small amounts not once a decent dollar. But great for surveys and deals.

I haven't done all of the stuff, but I've made about a hundred bucks playin slot games that I like playing anyway. So thats good. Just don't be in a rush, some of the offers stay "pending" for 45 days. But it has worked as advertised.

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.

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.

They host surveys sponsored by other companies. Each survey has a dollar amount associated with it that you can earn if you complete the survey. Although getting "kicked out" of surveys happens often, at least for me, the ones you complete do add to your total and you can cash out for things like Amazon gift cards once you reach a certain amount.

I have cashed out on inboxdollars twice so far and it's quite easy doing surveys and downloading apps for higher amounts. I will say that miss cashing out with all my money instead of $10, $15, $25, etc. I miss having $36.57 (This is random amount) and cashing out all of it. But other than that I enjoyed using it and will continue to use it too. It helped with Christmas funds too so I'm grateful to have a site like inboxdollars around.

It sometimes takes a while to accumulate the amount needed for cash out. Rewards can take ridiculous amount of time in pending mode. And finally i feel it take them longer than it should to finalize a virtual reward. With all that being said I still give them 4 stars. Far better than other similar apps.

I was a very active member in inbox dollars several months before and have cashed out at least twice when the amount to cash out was at 30. After a while it became extremely difficult to earn money. I got stuck at 24 dollars and left the site being ftustrated. I recently signed in to give it another try to find that they lowered the amount needed to cash out.it motivated me to start earning again! On my first day back i made $9.50. I just wish it didnt take so long to earn

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

Tip for consumers:
Please optimize or fix android app

I like inboxdollars.com because I can actually earn extra cash for fun money. This how I am able to have treats such as restaurant goodies that don't affect my budget. I only gave 4 stars because I feel like the goals bar keeps being raised which makes it a little discouraging and harder to reach. Even though I enjoy inbox, I'm starting to feel that my participation time may be limited.

Tip for consumers:
Read qualification instructions carefully so that you don't waste your time and not receive your reward.

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 Dollars is a good app to download for a little extra money every month. They offer a wide selection of games, apps, and websites to use to make money thru the Inbox Dollars app. You can cash out at $5.00 and the payment process is easy. They offer several ways to receive payment. The only small complaint I have is that receiving payment using the PayPal method takes 3-5 days. It would be nice if you could pay a small percentage of your payout to receive the money immediately. This app is 100% legit and worth downloading.

All I did was download games and play them, you gotta do it for a certain amount of time and reach certain levels within that time to get cash. There are options to spend money to get money, but you can even just read emails (basically you just get sent an ad for something) then you click the confirm button and bam you get a penny. Then any receipt you get you can scan and get a penny (if you have any of the promotional items on the receipt you can redeem those too for a few cents) basically it's easy cash. Save up. Cash out.

I've been using Inboxdollars for a few months now and they are easily one of the best money making websites out there. The cash out is quick the only thing is that customer support is kind of slow getting you help but once they do get around to it they are usually very helpful and can easily fix the problem your having pretty quick. I like Inboxdollars it's a great side gig to make money. They offer so many different ways to earn money my favorite is playing games to earn money they have all types of games you can play to earn money I definitely recommend Inboxdollars to anyone who wants to earn a little extra money.

Tip for consumers:
Save proof of every time you complete an offer because sometimes they don't credit your account for some reason but if you summit a help ticket with proof they will almost always give you the credit right away
