InboxDollars is a cash-based online rewards club that passes on the revenue it generates from advertisers to its members. By participating in paid surveys, reading e-mails, playing games, redeeming coupons, and more, you can get cashback on your activates.

How InboxDollars Works

Earn cash credited to your account when you complete particular tasks. These include:

  • Using coupons – find hundreds of printable grocery coupons, and earn additional cash back when you use them!
  • Playing games – select from dozens of card, strategy, sports, and word games, and get paid when you play.
  • Shopping cashback – visit the InboxDollars website and get cash back for your purchases from hundreds of merchants including Walmart, Target, Old Navy, and more.
  • Answering surveys – take online surveys when they become available, and earn cash every time you successfully complete a study.
  • Using the toolbar – earn additional cash by using the toolbar for your web searches, and have an easy way of staying informed about the latest free offers, surveys, etc.
  • Reading e-mails – receive emails with special offers, and earn cash when you open some special emails.
  • Referring friends - refer friends and earn 10% of what they earn. Banners and links are provided in your account.

Payment and Rewards

Once your account reaches a balance of $30, you can request a check or a Visa Cash Card.

For non-Gold members, it takes around two weeks for payments to be processed. For gold members, payments are processed weekly. Payments are issued in US dollars, regardless of where you live.

Becoming a Gold Member

Once you cash out for the first time, your account will automatically be upgraded to gold. Gold members enjoy additional perks including faster payments, more sweepstakes entries, more loyalty rewards, and additional referral rewards.

Gold member changed

July 18, 2017 by Luke from United States

I appreciate this site since I have cashed out twice and had no problems getting my payment. My problems are that the benefits for being a gold member seem to have disappeared except for faster payment. The weekly search bonus is back to 5 cents vs 10 (obviously not a big deal). I don't think they are giving a share of referrals anymore. They have double the sweepstakes entries on Billy's spin and win (Whoppee, I couldn't care less about sweepstakes). I have never won the $1 or $5 on the wheel, and I honestly don't ever expect to. Only one the 5 cents twice the week I joined. That was over 1 and a half ago. Have won survey tokens, but now that seems to be drying up. I watch the TV section sometimes, and it's alright. Overall, if you want to add this to your set of panels you use, ok, but don't get real optimistic.

SO SO

Yes you can make some money on this site but you spend a countless amount of time to qualify for a survey and often times it pays only 25 cents for a 20 minute or longer survey. In addition, I have spun Billy's spin hundred's if not thousands of times and I have never won either the $1.00 or $5.00 prize. They should also give you the option to send your rewards via your paypal account and charging you $3.00 to cash out is pure nonsense. There are better options out there. Also I just took a survey on inbox that paid me 25 cents for 30 minutes. I took the very same survey on cash crate that paid me $1.25.

Pretty good

Pros
* You get rewarded every day for just opening email sent to your InboxDollars account and clicking a button saying you read it
* You will get a small reward even if you didn't qualify to the end of a survey

Cons
* You have to wait until you have at least $30 dollars before you can redeem and it takes a long time to get there

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.

Love, love, love

I just love this site. So many ways to earn money, although a bit slow to accumulate except you are lucky to win sweeps. Fantastic site overall.
