They lie to you about costs to sign up

December 16, 2019 by Joshua from United States

The site repeatedly says that there’s no obligation and no cost for you. It lies. In order for you to complete some of the surveys you must sign up for products and, those companies will not report back to InboxDollars that you’ve done so until after the trial period has been completed and you have paid for the product. That is an out right lie and they should be discredited for this

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.

unfair

April 8, 2017 by Lenore from United States

I've been a member of Inbox Dollars for a long time. Lately, every time I access a survey, I'm told I'm not eligible. This is after spending 1bout 15 minutes completing the survey. I think as soon as I'm able to cash out, I'll probably be leaving this Inbox Dollars.

Can't earn needed 6 points

October 18, 2016 by Lisa from United States

I have been stuck at 44 points with this site for over a month now. I am trying to get to 50 points so I can convert to cash. I also no longer get paid to read emails and cant seem to figure out what to do to be able to earn again.

I just left the panel

December 17, 2015 by James from United States

When I signed up with Inboxdollars they had good, fun and paying surveys. They reduced the amount of the average survey to 50 cents for very long surveys.
