InboxDollars: Surveys for Cash Reviews

by LR Williams

I have cashed out $30 once about 4 years ago. I have since tried to complete surveys so I can get another check and it’s like you never qualify, oh but they ask you tons of questions before they tell you you don’t qualify. Seem to me whether you qualify or not you still take a survey and should be credited for being inconvinced even momentarily. Don’t let me get started on the spin to win, more like a spin to lose because you never win, you only waist your time. This company needs to change things they are doing, because the same people they turn away are the same people that will bring them business but they are too busy trying to shake people out of .25. I don’t think I ever qualified for a 3 min survey and surprisingly I never qualify for them even before a single question gets asked, so why do those surveys keep popping up in my que if your going to tell me I don’t qualify even before a question is asked. I’m going to be honest and say no. Do not waist your time. If you have started another session like me and have earned a little bit of cash I don’t blame you to see it through and keep going until you cash out because I am and you should, you earned whatever cash you have coming to you even though it may be small, but my advice is once you cash out do not continue, try to move on and search for a company who actually values your time, your opinions and your feedback. Ok maybe not so short and sweet. 😅

Okay so first it was alright and I thought I was actually going to make it to $30 even though they give such horrible payout like 45 minutes for .25¢ but that’s beside the point. After I finally made it there, I decided I didn’t want the $3 fee that they charge when I try to cash out so I did the offer that they had which was to make it to $40 in the next 30 days. So finally after painstaking going through 25¢ survey by 25¢ survey I finally make it to $40. Now every time I try and go to another survey or click the cash out button, a screen pops up and says I need mobile phone verification. I was a little confused since I had never seen this page in my many months of using this scamming website, but I entered in my phone number and they said it was invalid. I was so angry. However, what made it worse was that underneath the box to enter in your phone number, it says ‘Need help with this process?’ and I click it. The site then proceeds to tell me that my phone number didn’t work because it’s NOT MINE..? because ITS NOT A US NUMBER?? because IM NOT PUTTING IN A MOBILE NUMBER...? because MY NUMBER ISNT FROM A PROVIDER??? All of this is major bs because my number is my own, from the US, issued by TMobile, and it’s my iphone number.... Clearly this app is running out of money or something because I’m not getting paid for the hours I spent on this scamming app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! YOU WILL BE SCAMMED!

Initially, payouts look ok. I got up to $15 ish fairly quick. Then, the actual opportunities of any value drop off. I’m sure the $30 min payout was put in place to be a frustration for most users so IBD can keep the funds once the user abandons the company. Pure scam. Sure, you can make money on the surveys... that is if you like working for less than a dollar an hour. And, that is if the survey doesn’t reject you mid way through after they get the info they need. And the “Billy’s Sit and Spin” chances are supposed to be a consolation for wasting 15 minutes of time on a survey that then disqualified me for for demographics they should have been able to pull from my profile before I started the survey? Then there are the pure bogus surveys like “The Big Buck” survey that’s designed to get as much personal information they can about you so they can spam you blind.... or the “Free 25 gift card” type surveys... 25 what is the question? Pure scam is the answer. How companies like this manage to stay afloat is beyond me. And I should add, there are offers that may be legit where you get a couple bucks back for signing up for a service or buying something... although the cash back here is horrendous in comparison to other places. Quit telling people they are “earning cash” on a rebate! If I spend $10 and get $1 back, I didn’t earn $1.... I spent $9. SMH.

Where do I start?! First of all, I'm rarely qualified to actually do the money making survey after I have to go through a survey of questions to see if I am eligible. Also, the surveys rewards are so minimal that it would take forever in order to reach the first $20 threshold and actually make money. Another thing, and it's a problem Ive had when trying to complete money making surveys.
After spending 20 minutes completing a survey and when it comes to the end it keeps loading and loading until I finally have to cross out InboxDollars and start over and of course I wasn't rewarded for finishing!! Another thing is it will freeze up at the end. And don't get me started about all the crap the surveys lead you into! They want you to complete silver, gold, etc. offers in order to qualify for whatever gift card they're dangling in your face for the last freakin 20 mins. All the silver, gold, etc. offers all cost money even if it's free you're charged for shipping which means giving your credit card info, and then the "free" items within the offers sign you and your bank account up to be charged the full price of the product every month after that, unless you cancel which is easily forgotten to do. InboxDollars is shady and worthless. You can have that $5 and some change in my account back

I’ve taken 4 surveys after signing up for InboxDollars, and each time after 30 minutes of surveys, they keep disqualifying me, I can’t even earn $.25 without getting disqualified! The annoying part is that you need $30 to cash out and actually “earn” money, do the $5 you get after signing up is just a way to lure you, I u sweat and that this requires patience and a lot of time, but i’m not going to wait 3 months just to finally cash out my $30 after wasting all of that time, the money isn’t worth the time. If you have days or hours of spare time, and you have nothing better to do, then I guess this is your go to app, but it’s really frustrating finally doing something for 10 minutes, and just getting disqualified... your not going to get that 10 minutes of your life back. Also InboxDollars asks personal questions from finance, to just your personal life, and I don’t feel comfortable sharing that information, especially if i’m not even going t get $0.01 from it! Waste of time in my opinion, I really thought I could get some side money easily, but I guess not. The only thing that would benefit InboxDollars and the consumers, is if they lowered to the cash out price from $30 to $15... That would be wonderful.

Any review giving InboxDollars more than 1 star has to do with receiving an incentive for providing positive feedback. This company is absolute garbage. You have to wait until you gather $30 in your account before you can cash out, which is almost impossible. The surveys crash or disqualify you half way. You spend 20-30 minutes just trying to earn 25 cents. If you complete an offer, the reward doesn’t credit properly. I had to open a case, which took months to resolve. I kept providing the order confirmation number, screenshots, emails, etc to get my promised reward for completing an offer. The representatives always had a new reason why I couldn’t be rewarded. In the end, my account ended up being banned because the name on my email address was different than the one used to complete the offer. I used my real name in the offer, but my email address name when corresponding with Inbox Dollars was different. When I changed it to have everything match and prove it was the same person, they banned me, didn’t credit the money I earned from the offer, and took away all the money I accumulated in total. They clearly will do what they can to pay out as few checks as possible. What a huge waste of time, and an utter scam.

I have been playing this app since last year. I have checked out only (4) times since playing. However the surveys that this sites are offering is horrible and is abusing people time, they make you answer a bunch of classification questions for 5-10 minutes or more and at the end of it they disconnect you. Also there’s many surveys that I completed with honesty and consuming a significant amount of time and when I finished and submit my survey they said I’m not qualified and doesn’t pay me. This is very upsetting and abusing. What’s the point in having a survey site & app when you don’t qualify for all the surveys you guys need a better system than that cause no one wants to spend hours just answering classification questions and doesn’t earn anything from it. I’m a stay home mom trying to earn a little something for my self, please be aware of others time we have kids and family too that we need to attend to. Surveys should be paid more money depends on the time spent, also there’s Surveys’s 50minutes for 25c. That’s completely crazy. Please this app you Guys need to do something about this, it’s not worth playing if you spend hours and don’t make anything. Thanks.

Truthfully they don’t deserve a single star. Do NOT waste your time with this stupid app. I worked very hard just to make it to thirty dollars to cash out (who makes you wait until $30 to cash out?) just to have my account REMOVED for “violating the terms and conditions.” How did I violate it you might ask? Apparently you are not allowed to have “duplicate accounts.” The “duplicate” accounts that they speak of are my elderly family members who do not use the computer so not realizing it would be an issue, I allowed them to use my email. They live with me so naturally they have the same address as me. After reaching out to stupid Lisa, she informed me that I violated the terms and conditions and had nerve to tell me that I essentially should have read the terms and conditions. I’m sorry... does ANYONE in their right mind go through and read the entire terms and conditions? I didn’t think so, but okay! If it was such a big deal, they should’ve flagged the accounts right away instead of having me spend my money and waste my time trying to make a lousy $30 bucks! Biggest joke I’ve ever seen in my life. Guess what? All I worked for, GONE. Completely deleted my account. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

The time you waste answering the same questions over and over before The survey starts is wasted time . Once you get past that point if you answer a question 10 minutes into a 6 minute survey and the answer is not related to the info you get to spin the wheel . Spins the wheel 10-20 times a day max allowed per day After that your wasting your time . Or the survey locks up 15-20 mins into it or you have to take one more survey after the survey you finished to complete the last survey .$6.50 after 4-6 hours of surveys . $5 was a sign up bonus , you make more collecting cans you drink from and saving them and turning them in and not have to waste time charging you phone paying power bill to get paid less by doing surveys on your phone . Kinda the same mining crypto coins now . Be good if you have no job lots of free time , free power and someone pays you phone bill . This is the perfect app for you to make a few bucks a month once you hit $30 . Then you prolly need a PayPal account and will get charged $3 in fees . I never made it that far and probably never will . I lost 4-6 hours of my life and am never get it back

Hello, I been using Inbox Dollars for a couple years. Really enjoyed it referred a lot of people I noticed I stopped getting funds from the people I referred which was ok at first but then I was cheated out of about 4-5 different paid emails all together I completed the paid emails screenshot and showed proof one time I was suppose to got $100+ for doing 2 paid emails lol I was giving $25 smh let it go said ok whatever could of been a error then completed more and realized my account is still at $1 🤣 I should of been $150+ sent a email like I did before and lol 3 months later I didn’t even get a response this time before they would send me on a run around and all of them promise it’s going be fixed just give it 48 hrs lol still nothing it sucked because I really liked this company and would explain to people how they were honest etc. I don’t know if company was brought out but they are thieves now smh but no judgment from me. Thank God I walk with the higher power Jesus see everything even though I wasn’t paid I don’t regret continue to trust the company. Good day everyone

I’m not sure if this is a system bug or just a poor design; I have a list of “available” surveys that show up on my home page, half the time when I click on them I am told immediately that I am not eligible for the survey (why list it in the first place unless the intent is to get the user’s hopes up just to let them down?), 25% of the time I get through 5 minutes of taking a survey and then I’m told I’m not eligible for the survey. The only ones I’ve been “eligible” for are the ones that take 20+ minutes and are worth $0.25. The ones that are “5 minutes for $3” are likely fake and only there to get users to continue using InboxDollars on the hopes they will get one of these phantom surveys some day. I’ve spent roughly 4 hours taking/trying to take surveys and have collected $2. So at $0.50 an hour (that’s basically the wage people made in the early 1900’s), it’s a waste of time. And the $5 sign up bonus incentive isn’t much help, you can’t cash in until you’ve collected $35 so I would have to spend 60 hours (making 50 cents an hour) taking surveys.

I was excited when I saw inbox dollars app because I remembered using it years ago and making money off of it on my laptop (before apps were so popular). But on the phone app I never get any credit for reading the Emails despite having made sure I confirmed my email address. And even when I feel willing to spend 40 minutes taking a survey for a quarter I’ve had many occasions where I’ve ended up several questions and minutes into a survey - after passing the supposed prequalification - to still suddenly be told I don’t qualify which after this happens a couple times in a row feels like a colossal waste of time. Wish they would get their old groove back. I’ve tried many a survey, spun the wheel, clicked many confirmed emails and even watched the inbox dollars TV things for credit and so far I’ve only gotten an occasional survey credit, 1 spin for a quarter so am up to about $8.35 including the five dollar bonus. Will probably beat my head against the wall to try to get out to the cash out amount and then I’m done with InboxDollars if it doesn’t change

I downloaded like a week or 2 ago....... I just did a survey on it just yesterday...... today I try to open it up and it says my account was inactive for more then 6 months....... but I was just on it yesterday!?!?!? .............so it’s been deleted........................ lol... its a great idea .....but again it just deleted my account because it’s been “inactive for 6 months” when I know I’ve used it several times in the month of JUNE alone.
....USE AT OWN RISK—— risk of officially wasting your time to get nothing in return... there is another BIG PROBLEM. Why to see if I “qualify“ to do a 5 min survey........ Does it ask me a battery of survey like questions that takes 15 min to do ???????Why after 15 min of “qualifying” qurstions( note you don’t get ANYTHING for answering the”qualifying” questions) does at the very end say “ unfortunately you do not qualify to do this survey” ...... I don’t qualify... I just did a 15 min survey asking me.......... the same questions......... as surveys that pay you............. For it to say I don’t qualify to do the paid survey..............?.?.!.?. Seems kinda fishy to me.........

InboxDollars is not bad, as many people say. The wheel is pretty useless as you tend to get the same stuff- scratch and win progress, or a no win. Now and again I’ll get .05 cents. Scratch and win, in turn, is okay. You usually tend to win, but it isn’t a lot- it’s nice to add onto your amount, and every time you enter a survey you get progress. The most frustrating thing about this system is that you’ll select a survey, get 5-10 min in, then be disqualified by a dumb question that they very easily could’ve asked right off the bat. I get surveyors are looking for a specific pool of people, but the time-wasting and hoping that you’ll be able to complete the survey is the most annoying part. That being said, it’s been about a month and I have around $35- so not bad. Could be worse, could be better.

I seen a post that was like “ ways to make money taking surveys “ and this was one of the apps. They hyped it up like everyone does , super easy to take surveys and get paid for it right ? 17 minute survey for .25 cents? ..okay .. but then I realized that most of these want your information.. which means your email will be blown up with spam, you’ll get calls back to back from robots or someone trying to sell you something . Your information isn’t safe at all, once you put it on 1 survey, it’s like it is given to everyone . I’ve done 3 surveys , and I have ( in the past hour ) 37 missed called from 800 or 877 or random area codes . That’s to show , yes you make some money .. not really .. you make cents, and like them all .. you have to have X amount to take out the money. But honestly You don’t make anything , if they were $1 per survey than maybe you could make something . But your risking your personal information, phone number , address, name , birthday , if you have kids , someone could steal your entire identity. It’s not worth it I feel. If your okay with someone having all your information and sending you spam or constantly calling you back to back , how they really get you is they say “ input your email. This is who we will contact for the winner “ I mean come on .. emails are hit with more spam mail than Betty white has been hit with men. But if you don’t mind than InboxDollars is for you . But if not .. I wouldn’t waste your time.

Don’t waste your time with survey and receipt apps that pay pennies per. The surveys on InboxDollars pay dollars. Tons of stores with hundreds of dollars in cashback for snapping a photo of your receipt. I got groceries the other day and received over $20 in cashback just for purchasing items I was already buying (and uploading a photo of the receipt).
Easy cashout (1-2 days) that pays to your PayPal, or receive digital gift cards from a long list of popular retailers and restaurants and add them to your apple or Google play.
I got paid $10 for a 27 minute survey yesterday. In less than a week I cashed out $50 to PayPal. Had an issue with a couple surveys freezing or not crediting my account and customer service resolved the problem almost immediately and gave me extra credit for a $5.00 survey I only spent 5 minutes on but didn’t get to finish.
My entire experience with InboxDollars has been fantastic and I highly recommend to anyone who’s on their phone all the time and can’t sleep, or anyone who purchases really anything. The list of participating retailers is in the hundreds, and InboxDollars is one of the few that does everything it claims to do.

It does take awhile to reach the cash out mark of $30. Surveys tend to be about $0.25 and take around 8-12 mins. You’ll see surveys up to $1 or $2 but those tend to be harder to qualify for. There are other ways to earn; such as watching videos, scratching lottery tickets, making searches, and playing games. I’d say it takes about a month to cash out if you spend 30-45 mins a day on InboxDollars . I would recommend it to anybody because you can make some easy money off your phone. You have to be patient if you want to reach the cash out mark. There are a few issues such as the spin & win being a little buggy and not qualifying for certain surveys. The online version has more features for earning towards your goal. I would like to see InboxDollars version include these features, it would greatly improve InboxDollars .

I have been using InboxDollars for a good time now and works ok. I prefer to spend time doing surveys than being on social media but lately I tried to take like 3 surveys which were paying good money like $1.50- $3.00 but they become so long. There was one that had me responding questions for 57 minutes and then kicked me out and said I didn’t qualify for the survey. I was so mad. How are you gonna have people for an hour responding question and then after an hour when people think it’s almost over and they think they’re gonna get a dollar from it just tell them they didn’t qualify. It makes me so mad you shouldn’t let people be more than 5 minutes in a survey that they’re not going to qualify. It happened to me 3 times already more than 30 minutes to be kicked out at the end. This is gonna make me stop using InboxDollars.

by Mzcoco91

Personally everyone has there own opinion you can not beat free money people are lazy so when they can’t reach the goal to cash out they call InboxDollars a scam it’s far from a scam it ask you do you want to proceed and that they would lol collect information you can deny it if you want. We all know if you not active for a certain amount of months you will have to start over because they deactivate it but it tells you if you really read there information I cashed out in 2014 on $30 got sent a check. I had to start over in 2020 of January wasn’t really active but They just paid me through PayPal my account $51 if you are patience it will come you might get disqualified but they give you spins for it so regardless you make money my only thing I don’t like is you only get paid for 5 referrals or something just wrong with my app but inbox dollar is an awesome app!!!!

by Gamers Crap

InboxDollars might get you money but every time I go to take a survey it says half way through your unable to continue or something like that if they could fix that issue and I hear i is a scam I am not at a lot of money and do not know if that is true but if it is just a scam... who knows maybe it’s a bug if it is please fix it I am following there rules. I have tried all day at InboxDollars and found soooooo many surveys that did not work and besides the fact I have been at InboxDollars all day and I am not joking I have only make 53 cents the only reason I keep InboxDollars is because I have the free 5 dollars and some part of me wants to keep InboxDollars the other wants to get rid of it. 53 cents might seem a lot for taking online surveys but it is not acceptable when you have been at it all day and you only make 53 freaking cents. I hope you find this info helpful and hope you have a great day.

by ArmyWife73

I managed to accumulate $24 over a 5 month period so needless to say it’s tedious trying to get to $30 in order to cash out.. A lot of these surveys require you to enter or answer personal questions only to be told you didn’t qualify, so you waste 5-10 minutes answering all these personal questions to then be told sorry you didn’t qualify and you get nothing.. Another issue is some surveys are ridiculously long, there was a 33min survey with only a .25 cent payout.. really?? 30 minutes of personal information for a measly quarter?? No thanks.. and be very very mindful of fine print.. I very naively rushed passed small print and did not realize huge majority of them involved giving 3rd parties permission to contact me so now I get at least 3-5 Robo-calls daily!! And last but not least the biggest scam is the so called “easy way” to get gift card if you take the “Big Bucks” survey.. total BS!!! It requires you to purchase something and even if you do you still don’t get it... So do yourself a favor and DO NOT download InboxDollars

by 3rddegreenos

InboxDollars needs work. First, about 75% of the surveys you take you must qualify for. So you could fill out a bunch of questions, up to like ten, before the real survey even starts. Sometimes I’m near a completion of a survey and it would stick or freeze so I’d have to opt out and restart the entire thing over ( if the survey is still there when I refresh the main screen). The time I wasted filling out a survey is forever gone and I get nothing for it. The billy-spin mini game isn’t really a mini game. You get the same token a majority of the time to fill up a bar to earn scratch offs. The bar takes its own time to fill regardless of how many tokens you earn. In my opinion, it’s a sham and not really worth it. Been doing this for almost six months now and still haven’t reached $15. Some surveys I’d click on and automatically I won’t qualify for it. I won’t even complain if they didn’t make it so difficult to earn 25cents for an estimated 20 minute survey, which I must qualify, in order to take.

I couldn’t help but laugh while scrolling through the reviews and reading people’s idiotic rants about being “scammed” by this app. Clearly, if you don’t have much common sense, then for your sanity’s sake just stay away from this earning platform. Because #1: You get to the minimum amount and yes, it charges $3 to cash out unless you go to $40. 🤷🏻‍♂️ They immediately get you started back towards earning $30 by putting that $3 back to your account. And it’s actually pretty smart and helpful if you have the brains to think it through. Also...surveys are NOT what this platform is all about...I don’t even look at the surveys...but I cash out about $50-$70 almost every single Sunday so I get about a $50-$70 deposit into my PayPal account almost every single Wednesday. And it’s not a platform that I have to be on religiously just to try to nickel and dime my way to even $1...I work this app for MAYBE 30 minutes total throughout the day...it’s literally the EASIEST, and MOST fair-paying platform that’s out there. And I should know...I’m on an embarrassingly large number of sites and apps that DO take weeks to get the balance up to $2-3. Either cancel your account, or research how to create a solid passive income on the platform. I wish I had a way to teach people and charge even just $5 for my wisdom and brains. DEAR this app, THANK YOU for providing this opportunity for me to earn on your website and app. -BigBrains 🤣
