Terrible!

January 28, 2021 by Regina from United States

They took away my surveys because they said my answers were inconsistent.

So, I’ll cash out one last time and deactivate my account.

Update 1/27: my surveys have been restored. I'm wondering if they suspend them temporarily for members just to demonstrate they can.

Can't Login to Account All of A Sudden

September 14, 2020 by Barrion E. from United States

I can't login to my account all of a sudden, and this is not a "forgot password" situation. Send in help tickets and get no explanation, but to rest password and that doesn't help. THEN JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN A FEW DAYS LATER I CAN ONCE AGAIN LOGIN. Wen good for about 2 weeks and as of date (Sept. 12, 2020) I can't login to my account once again all of a sudden. Sent in help ticket to Inbox Dollars a couple of days ago and still waiting for a response.

RIPOFF

It should be called pennies. A lot of their surveys are for 19 cents and once in a while you will get one for 25 cents to 75 cents and few and far between $1 to $1.25. You won' get paid till $30 and at .19 cents (most of the surveys) to $1.25 it takes a long time because you will continually get the message that you do not qualify. If you want Amazon gift cards you have to wait till you accumulate $50. In my case, after I got to $50, they sent an email stating that it would take 2 to 3 days to process and then they deactivated my account and said that deactivate accounts would not receive payment. Also, the nearer you get to $30 or $50 the more you see the "you do not qualify for this survey. I have also noticed that if you are 70 years old the "you do not qualify" message usually comes right after you input your age. They will try to wear you down and then if you are tenacious enough to make it to the end, they will deactivate your account. If you look on the Better Business bureau, you will see similar complaint to mine.

terminated abruptly

July 25, 2020 by linda from United States

this was my favorite survey site; i enjoyed the activities and the surveys. then at end of june, i try to take a survey and it says my account has been permanently suspended. i emailed 3x and heard nothing back. I was a member since it opened or at least since 2000's. luckily i cash out just before. maybe i was a little fast in taking surveys, but sometimes questions are easy to answer and it's fast. wish i knew why they are so mean.

Do NOT join this site A waste of time.

July 12, 2020 by Mitchell from United States

Inbox dollars is alright i guess they do pay but they make you pay a processing fee when you cash out you do get it back because you get a $3 bonus after cashout. I think it's one of those sites that gives you something to do if there's no other surveys on other sites.

But if you do join just know they do pay out. I have a big problem with this site i can't do any surveys they keep wanting to send me a text to verify who i am the problem is i can't get a cell phone signal here so i can't get in to do surveys. They need to stop this cause i don't know that i would give them my number now anyway. I could make them some money

Update: there one of those sites that lets you finish a survey then does credit you for it every once in a while so watch them and report it to them if you get done that way.
