Your review made me crack up laughing “inboxpennies” thats honestly what it should be called. You never qualify for a survey. Theyll make you take the whole thing thing when your almost done they tell you..sorry but you didnt qualify for this survey. Ive spent 30mins on a survey to be told I didnt quality. The only way to make ‘money’ on this site is to actually spend money on their offers. My spam folder is soo full because of this site its ridiculous. I still have yet to reach my first $30. Based on other reviews ive read it could take months just for them to pay me. Once I do finally get my money im done with them. Maybe ill try one that actually values their subscribers.
These activities run the gamut from using the search engines to find the information you need, reading emails and taking online market research surveys, to online shopping, playing games, watching videos and many more. In addition to fast cash, this legit loyalty program serves up a plethora of amazing prizes on a regular basis. In a nutshell, Inbox Dollars connects brands and consumers in a mutually beneficial manner, generously rewarding members with cash and prizes for interacting with various brands via their everyday online and mobile activities.

I think the people that are saying good things about it are being PAID to say good things about it. INBOX DOLLARS is a SCAM. EVERYONE needs to REPORT them to the Better Business Bureau and Sue their ASSES. I bet if ENOUGH people got together and did that they'd get PAID and INBOX DOLLARS would get SHUT DOWN like they need to be so they can't SCAM people anymore.
In addition to the free offers, there are “paid” offers, too. i.e. Buy a bouquet of flowers through an online florist, get $7.00 back in your InboxDollars account. Lots of similar cash back offers for subscription box services and eCommerce sites. If it’s something you were already interested in, it’s not bad. Otherwise, no point in spending (read: losing) money in order to make money.

InboxDollars is one of the worst programs. Unlike others, they have a very short “6-months of inactivity and we’ll close your account and keep your money” term. Plus, you earn next to nothing. I too stopped getting paid emails and tried to unsuccessfully qualify for surveys. As such, I mostly did the big-ticket things, like signing up for money back on donations to charities. I accrued $98 and log in monthly to avoid the “inactivity” thing. But, guess what? They just closed my account for not completing anything in six months. They don’t even hold up their own definition of “activity”. So, user beware–withdraw when you can, even though UNLIKE the other programs, they charge a 3% fee on what you’ve earned. Sketchy, sketchy, sketchy.
The minimum payment threshold is 25,000 points. Once you’ve accumulated that many points, you can redeem them for gift vouchers from major retailers such as Target, Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, iTunes,  Sports Authority, Papa Johns, and more. After the first withdrawal, you don’t need to meet any minimum requirement for further cash outs. You can redeem as low as 1,000 ($1.00) for some e-vouchers.

This is another website that provides paid surveys for Kenyans. The platform has been in operation for many years so you can be sure you will not have problems when it comes to making payments. Note that you will need to have an account with Payza to get you payments once you take part in their surveys. The minimum cashout is $1. They have various payments options, the common option being Paypal.

You don't get any money until you've saved up to $30 in credit. I don't qualify for most surveys I try to do. Lottery scratch points tease $10, $25, or even the chance to win $100, but all I've ever won is a few cents. I wonder if it even is possible to win any dollar amount or if that's just a lie. At most I earn several cents a day. Definitely not worth the time.
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.
Some features of InboxDollars are quite unique and not found on other paid-survey websites. Apart from the usual payment or survey taking, the website also enables members to read emails, sign up for corporate offers, watch videos, play games and generally surf the web in order to earn income. (For the record, InboxDollars isn't the only site that will pay you for playing games and surfing the web. Swagbucks is generally regarded as the best in the business when it comes to that kind of free money. Click here to read my honest review of Swagbucks)
First, thank you for providing this extensive list. I wanted to offer a quick follow up. After reading your post I decided to give Survey Junkie a try and I’ve already closed the account. Yes, I can tell it’s well organized and it is definitely a user-friendly platform. The problems I experienced were first that not one of the surveys they emailed me about were available. I did, however, complete several surveys from the site itself and I found them to be lengthy – in itself, not a problem, but 3 out of 5 told me I didn’t qualify after I’d already invested 10 – 12 minutes filling out the forms. They got more than enough information from me to be useful which is an old and highly unethical trick in market research – which happens to be my background. All in all, it was a LOT of wasted time.
The minimum amount that you can cash out is $25.00. However, Fusion Cash ensures that you are active in the site, so that you cannot use the platform to earn only passive income. That is, you cannot simply sit and do nothing, accumulate referral earnings up to the payment threshold and cash that out. They ensure this by requiring that at least $15 of the $25 payment threshold must be personal earnings.
I’ve been a member of inboxpounds (UK version)for almost two years now and only managed to earn som £90 in four payments, most of it from paid offers like bingo and other rubbish. I have to admit their surveys sucks, not only being potentially low paid, but also due to extremely low possibility of qualifying to get paid. And than you have to double check what you do, I just got one completed a couple of weeks back, spend some 40mins on it as it was promised to pay £2.00, got qualified and than I only got paid £0.20 a couple of days later. Also they don’t seem to pay for radio loyalty captchas any more.

Inboxdollars Account


I have had Inboxdollars for about 8 years. I started doing it for some extra money to go on vacation, I didn’t make enough to go on vacation, that was unrealistic on my part, but I did make enough money to buy a laptop and I have been cashing out with about $100 each year since. I currently have $127 to cash out. The site is legit, you just have to stick to it if you really want it to work.
Not a “scam” in the sense of the word, but really not a way to earn any type of money. If you can find the companies that do the surveys and do them on your own with out sites like this you will make a substantially bigger amount of money. The “scam” is they take 90% (if not more, to be honest probably 99%) of the survey payout for themselves. Its the same for the “offers”, they will take the majority of the offer from the company, and give you a small percentage, And if that was not enough, they also take a percentage of your payout. This should be illegal as it is criminal to do this to people.

I belong to almost all of the sites you listed and out of all the surveys I take I don’t qualify for 95% of them. I will spend 15 minutes with generic questions with them collecting information about me then when done they say I’m not eligible for the survey or they have reached the required amount of people for that research. I can understand the reaching the required amount of people but I would think I would qualify for at least 1 or 2. It’s really discouraging when you take all that time to do the survey and not even get any points for doing so!

Inboxdollars is not a scam. You won’t qualify for every survey but you will for some. I can make an average of $1.50 a day. by doing like 3 surveys a day. I have already cashed out my first $30 to see if it pays out and they do. In about 2 weeks I have already made another $20 but I’m going to save this payout for a couple months from now until I hit $100.

This is also a common survey site used by Kenyans who work online. The survey site pays Ksh. 325 for every successful survey completed. The good thing with it is that you can claim you money once you hit Ksh. 1000 hence you do not have to wait too long to make a withdrawal. Triaba pays using Paypal. You can download their app from Google Play or App Store which helps you get more survey jobs.
This is a joke, it isn’t a scam but its not worth the trouble. It works don’t get me wrong but it takes FOREVER to make any actual money plus you have to hit a certain dollar amount before you can even cash out. Surveys said to be 4 minutes long pay out the same as survey that will take 50 minutes, and it only pays $0.25 for most surveys! $0.25 for an hour!? What! When you do find a higher paying one (meaning $0.50-$1.00), it’ll say its full or you don’t qualify EVERY time. The “Billy Spin Win” IS cool but also it is rigged. You NEVER land on money only “no win” or survey tokens. Out of 50 spins I landed on “cash” ($0.02 & $0.09!) twice. Like really? Complete waste of time honestly, SurveyJunkie pays better and you can cash out at $10 not $30! I’ve made $40 in about a month with SurveyJunkie rather $9 with Inbox Dollars
The name “inbox dollars” is somewhat revealing – they pay you simply to read your emails. All you need do is check your inbox and read the special offers sent to you, then click the button that confirms that you’ve read the mail, and you’ll be paid. You can get between 1 – 10 cents for every email you read. Active members usually get about 3 paid emails per day. Very often, you’ll be sent offers, and by signing up for these offers, you’ll earn more cash, which can be between $2.00 – $20.00.

I've made hundreds and hundred's of dollars with Inbox Dollars, sometimes cashing out 2 times per month. You have to have patience and stick with it! My account was cancelled when my wife and I had one at the sesame address but hey, rules are rules and it does state 1 account per household. I simply started over and I've made plenty since. Thank You!

Inbox Dollars


I don’t see PaidViewpoint on your list. I like using that site. I signed up for it on June 28, 2016, but I guess I forgot about the site and stopped using it on July 24, 2016 but had a total of $1.91. I started using it again on May 5, 2018, and I’m now up to $27.05 and have a trait score of 10, which is the highest. The surveys are easy and you don’t get disqualified. I mostly earn 10 cents, but once in awhile I earn some good money like 62 cents. It does take awhile to add up, but it’s free money.


Second, there is nobody that’s making $3500 a month filling out online surveys. Sure, there are people who may earn $1000 or even $2000 a month, but they are in the minority. For most of us, it would be impossible unless you join every survey site that there is and spend every single waking hours filling out surveys. And that’s assuming if you are lucky enough to have that many surveys available, to begin with.
Horrible. It takes many hours to make 1 dollar, let alone 30 dollars, which is what you need to cash out. It takes about a year to make 30 dollars unless you’re at it every day, then it should take you only10 months. Don’t waste your time. There are too many survey sites that are much better. Inbox lets you answer a whole lot of questions which they keep, before they decide you are not the perfect fit. Makes me think they have the answers they really needed from you. They should investigated and shut down.

I use Survey Junkie. It is the number one best survey app I have come across so far. I have cashed out already twice: the first time, it was for $10 and I made it within hours. Then I made almost $20, so basically $30 so far and I haven’t even had the app downloaded for longer than 2 weeks. It’s super easy to redeem. You can do PayPal, gift cards, or cash deposited into any account as long as you have a routing and account #. So, yes, it’s real cash. It says 5 business days before you receive it, but I received mine within 2 days. So, on your free time, just do surveys. You have to have patience. That’s the key. If you do, then that’s the app or site for you. Good luck.

I signed up for InBox Dollars, which led to a rabbit hole of sweepstakes and surveys, all of which, had the same 30 questions repeated 2-3 times in a single survey, punctuated by attempts at selling magazine subscriptions. One survey had a couple of telling questions. “Do you believe Trump is the best President America has ever had?” “Do you believe Hillary Clinton should be convicted of a crime?” and “Is Fox your main source of news?” I started getting an ungodly amount of spam emails and I can’t even count the number of spam calls, that are now growing at a rate of about 18 per day. I can’t block them fast enough, though one number has called 21 times in the past 3 days. 11 of those tries were yesterday. Today they only called 5 times… I just started mass spam dumping from my inbox. I don’t even care what’s in the message. If it’s not something I know. DELETE DELETE DELETE! I received a Netspend card in the mail today. Wasn’t able to activate it though.
You’ll get between 5 – 15 points for taking any of the simple surveys; you’ll get between 10 – 20 points for every survey you create that is accepted and hosted; an you’ll get between 25 – 2000 points for participating in an external survey. You can also earn some points by referring friends. For each friend, Tellwut will reward you with 25 points.

It’s easy! You answer online surveys and short polls right from your computer or smartphone. InboxDollars then rewards you with your choice of free cash or gift cards for popular brands. It’s easy to get paid for sharing your opinions, and we’re one of the best survey sites out there. Our members earn cash, not points for surveys. Since 2000, we’ve paid over $56 Million in cash rewards to our members.
Fusion Cash is a legit GPT site. They have been existing since 2005, and have paid out over $3 million to their members. It is also regarded as one of the top paid online survey sites that pay cash through Paypal. The platform is not only accredited by the BBB, but also have the highest rating by the organization, which is an A+. Fusion Cash is available only to person in the US.
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.
Note: Since you have nothing to loss, it will be a very good idea to register from this post so we can be able to assist you by getting in touch with them if you have any problem in the future. We have the power to force them into rectifying their faults. However, we cannot do anything if you try to trick the system. Just make sure you comply with their rules and regulations to make it easier for us.
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.
InboxDollars will occasionally post a tweet, post to their Facebook page, or hang a picture up on Instagram that contains a special redeemable code. You then have until 11:59 CST to redeem that code on the right sidebar of their homepage. It’s entirely free to participate but you can basically only win if you follow them on those social media accounts and happen to notice when they post a WinIt code.
This is a service owned and operated by a Kenyan company known as Simba Survey. The company works with local and international businesses, government agencies, research institutions, NGOs and universities to create and deploy flexible and scalable mobile surveys. The survey rates can move from a minimum of Ksh. 50 upwards. There are two types of surveys one can take; the cash reward surveys and the draw entry surveys. Members can withdraw their money directly via MPESA.

Another good thing about One Poll is that they reward you with £5.00 just for signing up. One other good thing which One Poll takes pride in, is that they help you along the way in reaching your withdrawal limit. For example, they will direct you to a list of surveys that you can complete in order to make your first £2.50. However, each of these mini surveys to get you started will earn you about £0.20; which means that you’ll need to complete about 13 of them to get that first £2.50.

Is Inbox Dollars A Legit Site


They are legitimate but things have slow down for me. One time I did very well with them and the past 6 months have not been very good for me with the same amount of time I have giving to the site for the last 4 years.I use to see as many as 15 surveys offers on any day. Now I am lucky to get 3 offers and I am usually disqualified.what can I say are there any others sites I could do better.
Rip off. I referred a couple people to Inbox Dollars that lived close to me and they closed out all of our accounts saying we were all in the same location and the same person. We provided IP addresses and even went to as far as asking if we could provide identification to show proof and of course it was negative. Lost a total of about $31. As for my neighbors probably the same or close to the same..
