Trouble cashing out

October 19, 2022 by Cheryl from United States

My first negative review and not happy about having to do one. Finally have enough to cash out and looks like a new roadblock put up. I have never had a problem cashing with InboxDollars before. You pick what card you want and request...I picked PayPal. Instead of sending me to PayPal to verify my account there, put up a request for me to enter phone# to get SMS message. Did that and up pops cannot verify since number already in use. Ummm ya it is....by me!!!! Sent ticket to staff and get a request to send in copy of a government ID so can make sure it's me. NOT HAPPENING!!! Same problem with signing up for offers...want verifying with phone #....same message. Their other site Swagbucks doing same thing. Left my points there and deleted account. I hope others can get around this without providing more data than they need on these sites.

Will Not Payout-Account Deactivation

July 26, 2022 by sam from United States

After being a member for a few months, I finally figured out how they work. I was just on the way towards meeting my daily goal each day (which they hate apparently), and had cashed out 10$. I had another 7$ on the account also. Without warning they up and deleted my account claiming I violated the terms.

Apparently the terms are to not make more than 10$ every 6 months imo. God forbid you work to turn that into 20 or 25 each month instead with endless clicking and other mindless tasks. Considering they pay less in general than their sister sites for similar activities, its a wonder they took such issue with this site? I thought this particular company was legitimate. Like others have said, must be going down soon. Just farming for activity or information with hopes you never, or rarely, cash out imo. Best not to waste your time or energy.

Unable to redeem

May 22, 2022 by Sandra from United States

As usual inbox is doing it again. Everything is fine till you try and redeem your points then they simply will not let you. I've turned them in to BBB before so I guess it's my fault for trying to work with them again. As anyone else had to go through such a hassle to get your money???

NOT to be trusted!!!!

February 4, 2021 by Hans from United States

NOT to be trusted!!!!

I was with this company for almost 20 years. Never got rich but at least in the past they were honest. NOT ANYMORE They have steadily changed their format in the last year to pay out as little as possible and now they are purging their long term members. Never had any issue with my responses and performance for almost 20 years but now suddenly, "my account has been flagged for fraudulent activity" and has been closed no detailed explanation and just a statement : Please keep in mind that your case is officially closed and this will be a final resolution to this issue. Of course, this "decision" was made right as they owe me $75 for a project I did (3 day bulletin board) Blatantly CHEATING people to continue their cost cutting purge they have been on. I am reporting them to every source I can find. CASRO and Survey Police will be on top of that list. SHAME ON THEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HARD WORKING FOLKS IN A PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!
