InboxDollars is an online rewards website that lets users earn real cash in exchange for completing market surveys, watching videos, playing online games, or participating in offers from participating merchants. Cash can be redeemed by check, prepaid Visa card, or online gift card.

Features and Services

InboxDollars lets consumers earn cash by answering online surveys, watching videos, playing online games, signing up for offers with partnered companies, and shopping at selected online merchants. Users can access the platform on their computer browser or via the InboxDollars mobile app. When a Cash Earning Activity is completed, the value of the offer is deposited into the user's InboxDollars account.

Once $30 or more are accumulated into the account, the user can request a payment. Payment is made by check, prepaid Visa card (which can be mailed to the user or sent as an online code that can be used immediately), or ePayment. EPayment lets users put their balance towards online gift cards from up to 50 merchants. Consumers can purchase the gift cards for themselves or send them to another person as a gift. It is also possible to use the balance to make charity donations.

Redeeming the balance involves a $3 processing fee, which is taken from the balance and refunded back into the member's account. Once the request is processed, it takes between 10 to 16 days for first time payments and 3-9 days for any subsequent payments.

Consumers interested in joining InboxDollars must live in the United States and be 18 years old or older.

InboxDollars – Bottom Line

InboxDollars is a BBB-accredited business with an A+ rating. A great number of reviews are negative, but the majority appear to be due to users being confused about the Terms of Service. The company is also rated on Trustpilot.com, where they have an 8 out of 10 rating ("Great"). Here, most customers seem to be satisfied.

Consumers interested in joining InboxDollars should read the Terms of Service carefully and make sure they are complying so they can enjoy their rewards fully. As an example, users who use VPNs to access InboxDollars may find their accounts closed. There is an extensive FAQ section to help consumers with any questions.

In the end, we find InboxDollars to be an easy and convenient way to make some extra cash while doing everyday online activities.

I try to make a little money on the cash back from shopping but I get ripped off when the vendor site doesn't notify InboxDollars. I try to fill out a ticket but don't know how - it's very difficult for me to understand. At 76 I have a hard time with technology. They used to be much better at solving problems like this but not anymore. It seems they make it difficult in order to dissuade people from filling out a ticket so they don't have to give them their money.

Having been a loyal InboxDollars user for many years, I initially found it to be my favorite survey site. However, in recent years, I’ve noticed a decline, particularly in the overall earning potential. It appears that the primary way to maximize earnings is by playing games all day. Unfortunately, my repeated attempts to receive proper credit for grocery purchases have been met with frustration. At this point, I’ve concluded that the effort required to submit tickets isn’t worthwhile, especially when credits are consistently denied. It feels like the company’s commitment to quality service has waned.

This used to be a great way to earn a little cash but not any more. They're too picky with the surveys and tell YOU to be honest but they're not honest. They've turned out to be finicky hypocrites !

Terrible site. Hard to complete surveys without being kicked out. Awful customer service. Good luck if you have an issue, and let's not forget that they can freeze your account.

They let you do all these surveys and then at the end it tells you you are not qualified, AFTER they already got a bunch of information from you and many questions answered. They also charge a $3 processing fee when you redeem your balance.
