Does not give payouts when due...

May 28, 2018 by Margaret from United States

I have had soooo many surveys that they say thanks for finishing the survey, and once redirected back to inbox dollars, it says sorry you don't qualify. Then they don't give the payout. So I have to contact customer service, some times they're nice, sometimes rude, sometimes they give me a portion of what I earned, sometimes nothing. I wouldn't bother with them.

Legit survey site

May 24, 2018 by Angela from United States

Legit site. Many ways to collect points for trade in for gift cards. One thing that I really don't like is how long it takes to make the $30 cash out but when you finally do, you have alot of choices to get paid. I've cashed out twice, took forever ( I play every day) .

Great Site

May 23, 2018 by Heather from United States

It takes a little longer to cash out on Inbox Dollars as the minimum is $30, but there are plenty of ways to earn and quite a few higher paying opportunities to help you reach cash out easily.

Could Be Better

May 9, 2018 by Paul from United States

UPDATE: They changed the format of the site to add a ridiculous scratch and win thing and now rely on it and a spinning wheel to do most awards. The surveys have gotten less rewarding and we are less able to qualify. BOTTOM LINE IS that progress toward rewards moves at a truly glacial pace. It takes forever to earn a nickel or a dime. Cashing out at the $30 threshold will have to be done by grandchildren as I will be long since dead.
Site is attractive and engaging. Rewards are on the slim side, but they do always pay. Main issue is with support -- no email or phone, only chat, and chat is a waste of time. This survey apparently piggybacks a lot on Ipsos, Toluna, Global, Peanut Labs, and Tap Research. Tap Research is iffy and spotty because their questions often have no answers to select from, like the surveys were designed by second graders. Peanut Labs is a little better but not much -- it and Tap are both hard to qualify for and get anything very rewarding. Overall, they need to rethink this site and get some decent support and surveys that actually work.

Membership

April 21, 2018 by Maryann from United States

I had been a member for about two years. The first year that I cashed out they deducted $3.00 from my cash out balance for sending me a check.
Most recently when I cashed out $30.44 they sent me a check for $27.44 and kept the other $3.00 in my account towards a future payout.
I would advise anyone to think twice before joining this panel as their surveys do not pay more than a dollar and some change and the majority are 25 cents and you spend alot of time for puny money.
