How it works: LifePoints is the survey platform of a company called Lightspeed, which is owned by Kantar (one of the world’s largest market research and consumer data analytics firms). The platform was formed as a merger of two of the company’s other products, MySurvey and Global Test Market, and gives users a variety of ways to earn points that can be redeemed for cash:
My InboxDollars experience started on a high note. After receiving the signup bonus, I earned another 50 cents for completing a short profile survey. I also appreciated that I could see a list of surveys available to me, along with the exact dollar (or cent) amount they’re worth. Most sites we tested use points, and determining a survey’s monetary value can be a hassle. This list also included the estimated time required for each of the surveys and, for some, the topic.
I'm a faithful inbox user. I've worked my butt off trying to make a little money. They have altered the bar. That we have to fill. Just to Make pennies. Now they have fixed my games . I can only play about 7 games then I dont get credit. The survey arrived . we can finish one then it says we dont quaify. We don't get paid often to complete offers... They rigged my whole experience so I can't make money. All this because I left a nd but truthful review on their app.thatdint work any more .because it's rigged now . when trying to watch videos , now we are forces to endure 2adds that sticks. Then the video won't work and it's a pop up says there's an error. I'm gonna stop I'm cashing out and I'm I'm done with them
Total waste of time. It's nearly impossible to accumulate the $30 you have to make to cash out. 95% of the time you spend a long time answering numerous preliminary questions just to find out you dont qualify for the survey. You don't make money for learn and earn or for playing the games, you make Scratch and Win Progress which never wins more than 5 cents. The Spin to Win never lands on anything other than No Luck or Scratch and Win Progress. Maybe in a few years i'll have the $30 required to cash out but definitely not today! Really disappointing.
How it works: With Survey Club, you can take part in some of the highest-paying research, clinical trials and surveys available. There are often location-based opportunities (such as focus groups), and unlike some of the other companies on this list, Survey Club often gives you the chance to test products that researchers will physically mail to you free of charge.
All this website is great but one site which is not mention here is univoxcommunity.com. i am attached with this site from last 2 years and i have earned many points and 2 Amazon gift card. got amazon gift card , which operates across the world and gives you access to millions of products!. and they are very friendly with panelists. i love this website which always ready to help in any trouble. so for me this is my favorite site for earning money.
Like other sites we tested, InboxDollars is a survey aggregator. So clicking on a survey opportunity typically redirects you to a third-party site. In most cases, I was led to a typical survey setup: starter questions about my age, gender and ZIP code, followed by either a disqualification or questions on a specific topic. A few survey topics I covered include McDonald’s, insurance and grocery stores.
To start taking surveys, you need to go to the ” Surveys” tab where you will find your notification dashboard with all the online surveys you qualify for, depending on the answers given when you signed up. Each of these surveys provides you beforehand with specific details such as completion time, topic and the amount of cash you can earn. The latter varies, depending on the survey you choose to complete, but generally you can earn anywhere from $0.25 for a 9-minute survey to $4.50 for more extensive surveys.
I’ve been a member of InboxDollars for at least a year which is what it took to me to just get to $30. I didn’t mind clicking the emails but once I hit $25 or so, I stopped getting “paid emails”. So I forced myself to do surveys. Once I reached $28 it was 3-4 days before I even saw another survey offered (besides the 4 that are always there “peanut labs” etc). I finally hit $30 and cashed out but if course there was another hoop to jump through, they tell you that your account must “remain active” until a certain date (March 2nd) for me. Who knows what counts as active to them, so I continue trying to qualify for surveys hoping that counts, otherwise in officially done with them like so many. I was just shocked at how difficult they make it.
Reading through emails provides a meager compensation of only 1-10 cents per email. Other payments include doing internet searches (1 cent) and logging in (2 cents). Many users have mentioned how after partaking in a survey for some time, only after a while (around 5-10 minutes) were they notified that they “did not qualify” for the survey and therefore their accounts could not be credited for taking up the survey.
Now, don’t get me wrong. There are people who do make a few thousand dollars or more a year with paid surveys. But that’s not the norm. If you do want to increase your earnings substantially, your best bet is to also join focus groups (we have a big list of ’em. Just do a quick search on Google for “moneypantry.com focus groups”). They pay much more between $50 to $400 or more per focus group secession.
I started work with InBoxDollars in December 2015. I have done as much work for them as I have Mindspay and InBoxPays ($473.00 +) but they show I have been credited only $23.59. I started keeping my own records and I know I have earned way more than that. None have been rejected but I have yet to get one nickel from them. What takes so long when they say you will be approved in 2 or 3 days. JPSnow
I agree. It does take awhile to build up money, especially when doing surveys and paid emails. I shop a lot online and it adds up much quicker when you link it through inboxdollars. Also, I do print up the coupons and receive (it does take awhile to process) .10 per coupon. It has taken me 2 years but I have over $206.00 to claim. I, previously, have claimed and received $53.00.
They gave the better business bureau a new email that I was never given even though I was being asked to send in the original confirmation emails of the offers I completed and I also sent in screenshots but all they mentioned were the fact that they were not going to accept screenshots. they continue to not acknowledge the fact that I have indeed sent them all of the original emails they simply ignored them and it has been over for months. I’m not going to get paid because they are a joke.

I have been using InBox Dollars for months. I earned my first $30 and cashed out. I referred my Wife and she signed up and started doing surveys. Once I reached $75 and she reached her first $30 we cashed out. The next day both of our accounts was suspended. How convenient. We spoke with a Live chat agent to explain that the accounts are separate but they didn’t care. They just hurried us off and ended the chat. Months of work all gone. INBOX DOLLARS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!! Do not waste your time. They will use you for your services then find some reason to not pay you.
MyPoints isn’t as shady as them and isn’t as difficult. I’ve been clicking emails for 5-7 years (they offer surveys too but I only click emails) and cannot even remember how many gift cards I’ve gotten from them (a lot in that many years). Not once did they stop sending emails once I got to a certain amount of points. I can quit at any time after cashing out too, unlike InboxDollars who forces you to stay active until your payment is sent.
According to the company’s own website, it has millions of active members using the website. Since 2006, it has paid over $25 million to members and counting through its subsidiary SendEarnings (launched in 2005). Profits and expansion have occurred in every year since inception with the company branching out to the UK with its InboxPounds service in 2012. Today it has over 30 employees.
I signed up for this site as recommended by a friend, and yes to be perfectly honest it’s a headache to gather the $30 earnings required to cash out but I have done so on several occasions over the past 10 years or so (I’m unsure just how long I have had my account.) My overall opinion of this site and it’s resources is very favorable. The emails pay me .02 for everyone I open, the surveys are indeed more effort than they are actually worth. However the fact that it is STILL FREE MONEY EARNED IN YOUR FREE TIME (No one in forcing you) makes it an overall worthy option. If you are seeking to earn more money become a professional and choose a career pertinent to intelligence and not free living.
Lately they keep disabling this service claiming I have an adblocker BUT I DO NOT! They advise me to make sure java, and flash player plugins are enabled. Which they are, the reenable this service just to disable it again. There’s a few problems with their scenarios a: enable java plugin – Mozilla no longer supports java. You have to download an older version to use java now. This version will support java until March 2018.
Interesting read, thanks for sharing. I suppose that online surveys may generate a few extra dollars on the side for some people, but it does require you to qualify for certain surveys online. In many cases you may not qualify, and will result in having to search for more surveys. This can be time consuming and in most cases not as profitable as may be expected.
