No it’s not a scam, although lately it seems their partners may be scamming members. I have been an inboxdollars member since I believe 04. Last year they introduced the tv channel, just another way to earn first it was earn up to $2.00 a day viewing this channel then they capped it at .50 which is fine. It takes awhile, you see the same videos over and over again. The player eats up memory, retaining more than half of my 12gigs sometimes.

I have had IB for months and it was very difficult to earn anything except pennies on scratch offs.. strike 1....hardly qualified for surveys and when I did they were long and a waste of time for 25 cents....strike2...finally got to the $30 mark to cash out, which is exactly what I did however I had no idea that they would charge you a process fee of $3 and you have to wait 3 weeks to get your money.... strike 3 for me. Now I have to wait and see if I get it.Total waste of time people. I use Swagbucks which is pretty good and Ibotta which I love and recommend, I literally have made $30 in a day with Ibotta depending on my shopping needs. IB is not good period
From the get-go, new members will instantly earn their first $5. The process of signing up is extremely easy and simple – enter your email, create a password and confirm your account via email. Then, you will need to answer several basic questions that are on par with every other survey panel (i.e. about your marital status, kids, degree, race, income etc).
Here’s my experience with InboxDollars. I was a member for over 5 years. I cancelled my membership about 3 years ago. Frank is right. They should’ve called themselves InboxPennies, and that’s exactly what it’s worth, pennies. I didn’t take a lot of surveys because you won’t qualify for many of them. I also didn’t do any of the trial offers because I don’t trust giving out my credit card info to these crooks, plus I was looking to make money, not spend it. But, I did all of the paid emails, and they amounted to about 3 or 4 cents per paid email. The minimum payout is $30. I made about $2 or $3 a month. Now you do the math on this one. I remember it taking about 12 months or longer to reach payout of $30! I even signed up a few referrals and never made anything; I guess they figured it wasn’t worth their time. InboxDollars should be shut down. Getting paid pennies is a direct insult to anyone’s intelligence. There are too many of these type companies that sucker you into believing you’ll make some decent money. Nobody’s trying to get rich, but at least a real part-time job will pay you about 200 bucks a week. We all have been bamboozled and hoodwinked.
They tell me today that this are “popups” and they have no ads in the tv rotation (I’ve watched it since it came out and these were always there). They keep pushing out this java plugin explanation, this should not hold any salt the tv channel worked fine until the latest firefox update. If it is a “security setting” they are doing nothing to push me in the right direction of fixing it.

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.
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.
Currently, many market research companies require survey takers. So, whether you are a student, a stay-at-home-mum, a housewife, retired, working full time or you just need the means to make some more money, take this opportunity to make fun and easy money. All you need to do is to wake up each morning then check your email to click on the survey link provided. It will take a very few minutes to give your opinions or answer the basic questions provided. Once you are done, you can send the information and money will be deposited into your account. Having prepared the list of online surveys in Kenya that pay via Mpesa, how much you want to make from online surveys depends on you. Also kindly note that for those sites that pay via Paypal, members can use the new and most used way of Paypal to Mpesa withdraw option that was introduced by Safaricom.

In a few cases, InboxDollars directed me to “exclusive offers” instead of straightforward surveys. One required me to give my name, address, phone number and birthdate to earn money and enter a sweepstakes for a Target gift card. Another time, I was prompted to give my email address and choose between Coke and Pepsi in exchange for $1 and a sweepstakes entry. I didn’t want to give my contact information to what appeared to be third-party sites, so I clicked out of these promotions.
I started using inbox dollars about July 31 and made $33.86 by August 10th. I was really nervous about using the app because of all the negative reviews I saw but I figured if it was scamming everyone who used it, it wouldn't be in the App Store. I do have a complaint but its more so about the cash out timing it takes a few days more than I have experienced with other apps which I'm not over the moon about but you do get your money. **** BTW some days you wont have a lot of surveys come your way but for the most part if you check it at least once a day you'll find a hell of a lot of surveys to do. So are only 25 cents for a survey but if you have nothing to do they can def waste some time
In recent years, taking surveys online has become a very popular way to make a quick and honest buck and for some, it has even turned into a regular source of income. With InboxDollars, you can start taking surveys for real cash instead of points. You can complete as many surveys as you want for more dollars, but note that you may not qualify for all the surveys available. However, you will have access to surveys matched for you ( based on the info you provide when you sign up).

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:

A little late getting into this discussion. But my favorite so far is OneOpinion. I think it’s mentioned here. Survey Junkie cool. MyPoints is okay. Ipso, not so much. I did make 300 points today in about 6 hours and every single survey except one I was disqualified for. I was disqualified for the two pointers as well as the higher pointed ones. I’ve never had that problem. Yes you get disqualified, but not everyone out of 30 or so. One of them I actually made to the 98% and was disqualified. I think they didn’t like the fact I was female, except that was answered at the beginning.

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.
so im a young teen who goes to high school and my parents won’t buy me clothing from my favorite artist “Tyler the Creator” his clothing brand is pretty expensive. Now my parents are really cheap people so you know I tried to get money on my own, the most they give me is like $10 for the whole week but taking the bus home everyday and buying food lunch takes the money away, I’ve used InboxDollars for like 1 month and only got $7.32 . ? Sad ain’t it. And the worst part is if U wanna take out money you have to wait until you get up to $30 to either check it or whatever

Not counting the profile survey, I attempted 38 surveys and qualified for seven of them. That’s an 18% success rate, which is on the low end among the 12 sites we tested. Most of the time, I’d immediately receive a disqualification notice with a link to a new survey opportunity. For a few surveys, I answered questions for a couple minutes before getting the boot.
