Terrible

March 27, 2021 by Frank from United States

Inbox Dollars used to be good when Cotterweb owned them. Now since it was acquired by Prodege, I've had trouble doing surveys. I got banned by them after cashing out my last cash out, and I did received my money, but the next day they said I could not do any more surveys. I could still use the site, but I don't understand why after so many years of not having problems and now there are. As the old saying goes, don't change what ain't broken. So I decided to close my account with them for good.

A favorite of mine ♥

I really love the fact that Inbox Dollars gives a variety of activities that I can participate in in order to successfully build my income with the site, from playing games, to answering surveys, to uploading receipts from purchases that I made. Highly recommend.

Boring

Takes forever to reach goal most surveys you don't qualify or don't get paid but they are I've cashed out 2x in 3 years now they do pay but you are so taxed for every thing for processing etc. Customer service sucks when you have issues with surveys but it's a great time killer for a piece of change now and then.

NOT to be trusted!!!!

NOT to be trusted!!!!

I was with this company for almost 20 years. Never got rich but at least in the past they were honest. NOT ANYMORE They have steadily changed their format in the last year to pay out as little as possible and now they are purging their long term members. Never had any issue with my responses and performance for almost 20 years but now suddenly, "my account has been flagged for fraudulent activity" and has been closed no detailed explanation and just a statement : Please keep in mind that your case is officially closed and this will be a final resolution to this issue. Of course, this "decision" was made right as they owe me $75 for a project I did (3 day bulletin board) Blatantly CHEATING people to continue their cost cutting purge they have been on. I am reporting them to every source I can find. CASRO and Survey Police will be on top of that list. SHAME ON THEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HARD WORKING FOLKS IN A PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!

Terrible!

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.
