They are OK

April 6, 2016 by Christina from United States

This website is ok but it takes me a really long time to get where I can cashout. I have cashed out only a few times during the three years I have been doing this.

Garbage

You would have to complete 1,000's of surveys just to get $5. Waste of time!!

UPDATE: I probably will cancel my profile as I find its not worth the time or effort

Avoid!

I belong to several survey sites that offer surveys and pay you fairly for the time spent. Inbox Dollars is a waste of time, they often send survey invites for .25 for 20+ minutes to complete and often you don't qualify for these. They are known to send a $5 survey invite that ALWAYS you don't qualify and then as an alternative offer you .25 for a 20-30 minute survey...what a farce! STAY AWAY! Mintvine, iSay, Swagbucks, surveysavvy are the best!!

Pretty good overall

I have mixed feelings about InboxDollars. This site took over my time once MySurvey went to Hell.

This is a legitimate website that will actually send you a check payment for real cash. Others have already rated the site so I won't get into extreme detail.

I take surveys on there daily sometimes for as low as 13 cents and I think about the most I have made for a survey was $1.80 which is a rarity. You can expect that most surveys will pay either .25 or .50. I can typically reach the goal of $30 within a month but I always continue until I reach the next goal of $40.

I suggest and recommend that you request payment at the $30 mark, which will give you the option to cash out now but they will charge a $3 processing fee, HOWEVER choose the option to reach the goal of $40 which will waive the fee and then cash out. (you have 30 days to reach the new goal, I have never failed to reach it yet).

Most other money making ways on the site require giving personal info or credit cards for some offers and I won't do those. You can make money clicking daily emails for .02 each (maybe 2 or 3 of those a day), and doing searches can get you .15 a day. That's easy stuff you can do every day but will never get rich that way.

My biggest gripe. I have finally 'won' a sweepstakes prizes. Hooray for me! I received an email saying that I won and would receive a follow-up email saying how to claim my prize. I waited for a week watching my email closely for this follow-up which never came. I finally contacted support. The support people seem polite, but I am told over and over to check my email including my spam. Sounds reasonable and I have done this many times. Still no email. I am told that it should be in my mailbox on the site as well, nope not there either. I felt like the sweepstakes prizes might be a scam. After a few replies to support they did finally email a code to me so I do feel better about it now and support came through.

All in all the site is pretty good. Never have problems logging in. The surveys work and I get credited 90% of the time. The support if you need to contact them are polite. And they send out payments pretty quickly, unlike other sites I have tried. It's worth a try if you want to make a little extra cash in your spare time.

waste of time

It takes about a year or so to cash out. Surveys pay VERY low. I got one recently that paid .25 for 45 minutes and thats not uncommon. Don't waste your time.
