Never had any problems cashing out. I would prefer if they would use Paypal.

I believe this was the 1st panel I ever joined (in 2011). What I like about them is they are very consistent; and, attentive...they reply to emails sent and answer questions or resolve problems in a timely manner. It use to be they had a $30.00 cash out threshold, which I would achieve about once a year. But now, they've lowered it to: $10.00; $15.00 & $30.00 (for Amazon Gift Cards), which is much better, in my opinion.

This has improved since I first started using it. The app needs an update though! The website through mobile device or desktop/laptop offers much more than the app, but you can still use the app to do quite a few things like the surveys. They have also dropped the cash out level from $30 to $10 and cashing out is so much easier and quicker!

Don't get sick if signed up

Pro: Lots of different items to make some pocket change.

Con: As with other sites, surveys are rare for certain age ranges. It's not a get rich quick site and if non-qualifying surveys and don't want to use a credit card for most offers, it could take months to cash out.

Con: I was with Inbox for a few years. I had built up around $50 and was about to cash out when I developed a serious illness and was disabled for quite a while and couldn't get to my computer.

When I was able to get back to a normal life, first thing I did was go to InBox to cash out. NO MONEY and I was deactivated!!!!!!!!!

Sent an email about the unfairness and losing that money and got a very rude reply in the sense of...sorry, not our problem. You can reactivate if you wish.
I didn't.

UPDATE 1/7/21: I was listed with Send Earnings. It was so hard to make anything with them so when they said they were closing and offered InBox Dollars, I didn't sign up immediately because of the fiasco the other year. I was so close to $30 and didn't want to lose it so I asked customer service about a few items. I was able to sign up with them and I have already cashed out once and in a week, have another $17. I've spent more time with them and really enjoy the multiple ways to earn money. I even qualify for a survey more often than other sites. I can only hope it stays that way. :)
