They are just OK

December 4, 2015 by Nancy from United States

I have been a member of Inbox Dollars for several years. I click the emails, and I also do surveys. 90% of the surveys I am not eligible for, but for some reason yesterday I made $5 doing surveys on their site. I never make that much. Last time I cashed out in February, I got a check in about a week for about $135, but since that time I have accumulated $90. At least on most of the surveys they tell you right away that you are not eligible. I mainly do them because they pay by check, where as all the other survey companies I work with pay in Amazon GC. They do have a spin to win chance that you can take if you are not deemed eligible for a survey, but the most I have gotten there are three $1 survey tokens.

Average Site

October 15, 2015 by John from United States

I've been a member of this one for a long time. They are a steady and reliable company but I find that the amount I get paid per survey or offer is not always as high as I can get at other sites.

Read mixed reviews, but I like it so far

June 16, 2015 by Kristin from United States

So I've been using Inboxdollars for several weeks now. It's nothing earth shattering, yet I am almost to the $30 cash out and I haven't done too much. I have been a bit frustrated as one day I attempted many surveys and got DQ'd from all. Made no sense and one I thought was the survey when I got DQ'd. I will update as time goes on.

They're okay, nothing special

May 28, 2015 by Daniel from United States

I've been taking surveys for about a year now and Inboxdollars has proven to be largely mediocre. They have lots of offers, some of which appear to be spam, others which seem legit. I never bother with the offers. The only way I make money through this site is by taking surveys and opening their emails. I've made close to $100 since I signed up which isn't all that great considering I've made far more with actual survey sites in the same amount of time. One of the more annoying things is that you can cash out at $30 but they charge a processing fee unless you earn another $10 within 30 days. Since I am a member of so many other survey sites I only have time for the survey invites that get emailed to me so getting another $10 could actually take that long.
I've cashed out twice so far at over $40 a check and both times the check came promptly in the mail and I had no issues in that regard. Overall, don't expect to make too much from them. This is really a beer money site.

I have been working with Inbox Dollars for 2 years. It is a very good site.
