30% to cash out your earnings, what a ripoff I cashed out £100 and was charged £30 on top and when did this charge start as it was free to cash out last year so all that I have earned this year did not even cover the 30% charge. I am thinking of closing my account

Charging 30% to redeem rewards
April 11, 2025
Updated review

Policy has changed so now it takes £6.80 of earnings to redeem £5 paypal cash. Sorry, I won't be doing anymore surveys with you, they're already low paid and unreliable in paying in the first place.

Date of experience: April 11, 2025

Avoid opinion. Life and any tv pilot surveys. You will spend 30-50 minutes doing a whole survey only to be disqualified at the end.

I played a few games, made £50/£66 in almost 4 days now to be credited and now they kicked me out apparently because they noticed? WOW! You are a scam! Thankfully for me, I was just investigating websites like this one, so I didn't invest a lot of time in it, nor did I really need the cash. So turns out, if you do make a profit on this website (even only £66), they will find your account and block it from you being able to login at their end. And when you ask for a password, in case you forgot it and the problem is at your end, the system doesn't send one anymore. It doesn't recognise you as a new user or an old one either, you're effectively blocked from accessing the potential gift cards with the email that you signed up with on this website! I tried signing up with a new email and it does work! You are in! (So it's not the IP or the firewall). But if you try to use an email that has a sure profit of £66 to be credited in the next few days, you're out! Would you look at that? You've helped me though, unknowingly. I would have wasted my life and my time on all kinds of things, and I would wasted it poorly if it wasn't for this enlightening experience of... oh wait, there are no honest, well-intentioned business owners of this! There is no way to make even the smallest profit this way! And now I know and you will never see me try these offers again! Thank you for the enlightenment, for your inability to be fair and honest and even reach into your little pocket for a meagre £66! Business is that bad? I'm not the one that decided this would be a sane business model, you did! And I bet you're suffering because of it, as the business owner, which you totally deserve... When you start something, you do it right, or you don't do it at all, you don't make false promises, that's the first way to lose your customers. Have fun with your $#*! business!

Rewards for surveys
March 28, 2025
Updated review

Rewards are easy to claim, you can cash out when you earn £5, but sometimes you have to earn over £6.50 to claim rewards which can be a bit annoying.

Easy to do, just a shame you have to wait so long for them to be paid into your account. Especially as you have already verified your account.

Unpaid game installs, took 15 years to cash out. 20 minutes for a survey to be told I'm ineligible, then get a spin to win 0 or 1p. Unable to get hold of customer service EVER when I have had questions or been unhappy. Waste of time.

If you're simply taking part for fun in a few spare minutes this is fine but in my case wouldn't be suitable if you want or need regular pocket-money. It's taken ages to reach the level where I can claim a £10 Tesco voucher but I was determined to get there. The voucher hasn't appeared yet and I may soon start to get anxious.

I have been using InboxPounds since September 2023 and I enjoy taking surveys every day.
The site is very easy to navigate and has different ways to earn money from paid surveys to paid emails to paid searches, Spin and Win when surveys are declined and playing games to special money off offers on various services and products. Its a great way to earn money while having fun.

Dreadful Site
September 29, 2021

Horrible slow low paying surveys, limited offers that they refuse to pay out even if you complete them.

Ignore the 'satisfied' users on here with their solitary reviews... nothing suspicious about that at all.

It is fantastic to hear ads that refer to questions you've answered, it validates the ad too. However many times you fill in demographics and find the survey is full or finished. I limit myself to 3 goes and then give up.
It took a a little while to find out how to redeem the cash I'd earned, now I'm waiting for the voucher to arrive as looking forward to buying a versatile griddle/ roasting pan/casserole dish that should be a great space saver when we venture off for adventures in our motorhome.

I've been a member of inbox pounds for a few years now, admittedly it's a little slower to cash out on this site as the surveys tend to be worth less than other survey sites (the main reason I gave 4 stars) but you can top up with the paid emails and there is some good offers to complete too. A good range of rewards to choose from, easy to order your reward and processing was quick.

Useless site, blocks someone from entering surveys due to 'inconsistencies'. No explanation, no option to challenge false accusations.
It has also taken 5 years to build up £20 on the site as 99.9% of surveys screened out at some stage
Reward collection is made difficult, it took several days before the validation text service worked.
As soon as I receive the money owed I will be closing my account.

Very disappointing that I can spend hours completing surveys, get right to the end and then be told I have screened out and therefore do not get the promised reward (which is usually extremely low anyway). Clearly the surveys and data are being used - the respondents are simply not being compensated for their time. Happens too often to be technical errors as inboxpounds suggests this might be the case. Waste of time contacting them as you just get a standardised reply saying they will look into it and then no further communication from them - ie. Just the usual fob off. I will not be wasting any more time with this site.

Use the website fairly often which has a fair number of surveys. Don't always qualify which is annoying at times but do have other offers and earning a bit daily with the search tool. Quick enough with their payouts as well.
