Honest & Consistant

September 6, 2017 by Kayeren from United States

One of the 1st panels I joined--Oct 2012. You won't get rich: I C/O for a $30 check about once a year (I only do the surveys). They've never cheated me from paying what I earned & have always been there for me if I did have a question. I have loyalty towards them, as they've shown loyalty to me. They also pay in a timely manner--no waiting till surveys have ''Cleared''. They now offer a pre-paid VISA option as well as a check.

remove me

they removed me from inbox dollars for something I never did

Big waste of time!

August 27, 2017 by Steven from United States

After I joined I made very little money doing surveys for long periods of time and my email ended up getting heavily spammed which forced me to delete it and make a new email so needless to say its a huge waste of time!

Still Waiting to be Paid

August 26, 2017 by Camiyah from United States

I have been with inboxdollars for a few years now and I can honestly say that no, inboxdollars is not a scam; however, inboxdollars takes forever to pay you! I successfully completed an offer paying me $25 but, it's been almost a month now and I still have yet to receive my payment! Today, I had a chat with "Fred", an inboxdollars employee who I asked when would I be paid. The following is what "Fred" replied to me:
"We have some very helpful information in our terms of membership that explains about crediting.

While some Offers are reported to us by the advertiser quickly, some of the offers can take 14 to 30 days.

The offer you are inquiring about will take 30-45 days to credit to your account if approved by the offer provider.

We can review inquiries for crediting after 30 days however not all offers are eligible for crediting until the 30 day mark and donation offers will take 45 days.

For this reason, I do request that you allow at least 30+ days for crediting to occur thru advertiser reporting but do reach back to us before 60 days has passed.

We appreciate your patience!"

Yes, you got it, the same thing they always exclaim! The problem with this is that after successfully completing an offer, you're the offer emails you a receipt and or confirmation that you have successfully completed an offer. Below, you can view an old receipt of mine:

For your convenience you may print or save this receipt for your records. You will also receive an order confirmation email with details of your order.

PUZZLE BUZZ BOOK CLUB

I had received this receipt a week after I completed the offer so why hasn't inboxdollars received a receipt of my offer completion or has inboxdollars received a receipt of my offer completion?

Very good

I've been a member for many years. I cashed out once before with no problem. Now my account is more than double the cash out amount, requested a Tango card two months ago at the same time I cashed out at SendEarnings (a sister site which paid me already), and Inbox hasn't paid me yet. Although I was able to log in at the time I cashed out, now all of a sudden they are not accepting my login nor allowing me to reset my password. I can't open any paid emails. The only thing I can do is surveys or searches. They don't answer my emails. Ive even written by snail mail. In the meantime they keep changing my payout date making it later and later. I don't know what's going on with them. I don't like it and they're holding my account hostage. I would not recommend them anymore.

Update: I contacted the Online Better Business Bureau and already got a reply from Inboxdollars. Part of the problem was I was having difficulty accessing my account from my laptop. We have been able to rectify the situation and my payout is being processed.

Second Update: All problems have been resolved. Customer service was excellent. And I received my total payout yesterday! I am very pleased.
