InboxDollars
Questions & Answers
Why do you earn just $0.25 to $0.75 for completing a survey rather than $5.00 or more? And why does Inbox Dollars require certain people, based on their lifestyle and certain answers to questions to qualify for surveys? Also why are Inbox Dollars members required to earn $30.00 before they can make a payment, rather than make a payment after first opening an account?

InboxDollars has probably improved a lot in the last five years since this question was asked. I joined InboxDollars on November 20,2020, and so far, I was paid $30 on January 25,2021, and $10 on January 31. I got $5 for joining, and it makes sense that they would want people to hang out on the site a lot before paying out anything. I agree that surveys are miserable, and I keep getting disqualified and earning nothing most of the time when I try, but I expected that because I've been on other survey sites. I like InboxDollars for the games, videos, trivia questions, coupons, receipt uploads, daily activity list, and other features.

It's not inbox dollars that needs certain pple it takes u to other server sites and that survey site needs only pple that do certain things like have a job as a computer manufacturer or something like that so don't complain about that

They are cheap. Given that they are paid by companies to send advertising via email you would think that you would get more.

The InboxDollars representative wrote "We have some members who cash out once a month"... This would be insane. It would have to be a full time job to reach $30 in one month. I opened almost every single PaidEmail they sent, did searches, and did surveys and it took a year to get $30. I would love to see a $5 survey that would actually successfully complete. Usually, you will get most of the way through and then mysteriously it mentions you aren't part of the demographic they are looking for. That is ridiculous. That determination should happen after the first 2 or 3 pages or not at all.

While I can't specifically answer the questions posed here, I DID NOTICE THE FIRST RESPONDER was an Inbox employee. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. I also see the respondent has painted a perfect picture of THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO OPERATE but clearly does not, if you look at the mounting number of unhappy 'participants' who were never paid. The company continues to PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG AND DRESS IT LIKE THE MONA LISA, BUT IT'S STILL A PIG.
The increasing 'commentaries' from nervous company employees is a hopeful sign. It may be their cashcow is drying up. Oh goody.

The questions you posed are all the reasons I unsubscribed from the site. It took me 2 or 3 months to get the $10 in my account and I decided it would take me forever to earn $30. I unsubscribed from the site. There are better sites out there. I use mysurvey.com and I like it much better. I do get tired of answering the same questions (age, sex, zip code, etc) and I understand why these are asked for so many surveys. Once you get past that, there are some interesting surveys and some are downright ridiculous! Hope this helps.

Because it is a stupid site, and the people who run it are soulless@ you know what, who think that giving us a mere 1 cent for each search on the site or 0.75 cents for an hour of our time is too much.

Most of the surveys on Inboxdollars actually range up to $5.00 on surveys depending on the survey provider.
Please note that InboxDollars works with Market Research companies (survey providers) who create, provide, manage and credit the surveys. InboxDollars does not make any requirements or qualifications for a survey.
Each advertiser may be looking for a particular demographic to get the information they need for their services/products/etc so they will have qualification questions when this occurs.
Our minimum requirement is $30.00 as a minimum and members can get there pretty quickly if they do a variety of activities on the site. We have some members who cash out once a month but again this is due to how often they are on and how much they do.
