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.
Another important thing is that the points you earn in HCD Research can only be converted to cash. You will never have to redeem your points for prizes/ vouchers. The minimum payment threshold is 1,000 points, which is $10.00. Once you’ve accumulated that amount of points, you can proceed to request your reward, and a check will be sent to you. You can only get your rewards via check by mail; as a result, you’ll have to wait about 6 – 8 weeks before receiving the payout.
These methods are certainly less tiresome, monotonous and refreshing compared to just filling up random surveys all day. Some users (chiefly “premium” members) have mentioned how they received money from InboxDollars on referrals from offers. Additionally, some members have also stated how they earned a proportion of money from InboxDollars’s “qualified surveys” and other features.
Why would you put InboxDollars on your list? They owe so many people money, including my $36.00. I will never get it, and I contacted them 3 different times. Each time I got the same answer, which did not work. Then, someone else from InboxDollars emailed me with the same information, that does not work, so I emailed back. Now they ignore me. I am on my 4th or 5th email with no answer. I think my next step is to report them.
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.

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.
The survey panel will invite you to participate in surveys via email. When you get an invite, you’ll answer some questions to determine if you qualify to complete the survey. If you do not qualify, My Soap Box still awards you with 10 points. However, if you qualify and complete a survey, you’ll earn between 750 points to 1500 points, which is $0.75 to $1.50.
