I have joined the site, and so far so good. I have been on for a week and made $5.70 so far. It's actually very tricky if you ask me. You have to take surverys in order to make money, but the system denies you alot so it makes it hard to make a dime. Then you can play games and shop, but sometimes you make very little in return. For example:
Say you bought an album that was 10 dollars, and you have 20 dollars in your account. You buy the CD and you only get 2 dollars back for buying it. Guess what....you now have 12 dollars in your earnings account.
Feel me here? If you wanna make money, I'd avoid shopping on Inboxdollars. Just take the surveys and stick to gaming.

I have been a member of inboxdollars for a long time now. I joined sendearnings when they first got started as well. I worked my way up at inboxdollars until I earned enough to pay for their GOLD membership with the money I earned through the site. I have to say that it has paid for itself over time, and I am still earning money there today, both from my own efforts, and the Gold membership as well. I try to do the online surveys with both inboxdollars and sendearning, but I too get denied a lot. It is easy money when you do qualify for them, though. I make most of my money by reading the paid emails they send. I never buy anything from any of them, but if I happened to see something on there that I actually had a use for I probably would. The best way to earn money with them is to build up your list of referrals. I haven't had any luck doing that, which is why I chose to invest in the Gold membership at inboxdollars. I am hoping that sendearnings will start to offer a Gold membership as well. I will probably go ahead and invest in it when they do as long as the price is reasonable, especially since it paid for itself at inboxdollars. I think the same company actually owns both websites, so I see no reason why a Gold membership wouldn't be worth the investment at sendearnings too. I have been well pleased with my inboxdollars membership, and have had no problems with sendearnings so far. The only complaint I have with either site is that they don't offer Paypal as a payment option. Otherwise, I have no problems with them at all. Just keep at it and you will reach payouts quicker than you think.

I was a member of Inboxdollars a year ago, but quit it because at some pint they stopped sending me surveys and I had not got a single email from them, so it was worthless. I think it is a better site for UK/US/Canada members only.

I have been a member of inboxdollars and sendearning for a long time. I have gotten paid from both of them several times. I do shop using inboxdollars sometimes. If there is something I need and I am going to order it anyway then why not get a little cash back. But you shouldnt use it to shop just to make money because you wont.

I agree...I have been on that site and have my first 30 check coming. But, actually it is 27 dollars because the take out a processing fee. LOL. Another thing that you can do in addition to the games and survyes is you can get paid for reading emails that they send you. Granted it is only a few cents if you dont complete the offer but, it all adds up. The 100% free offers are great too.

I think that the best way to handle inboxdollars is to read every email they send you... Do as many of the for really real free offers and do the survey's... I've been with them a month-ish and I have a little over 11 bucks in my account...
My only complaint is that their min payout is thirty bucks...

Is the site new? Have they paid their members? I'm really impress that you made $5.70 in a week. I just don't think site works for me as you say there are lots of survey but many times you will get rejected. How can I earn if I will be rejected to do surveys most of the time. I am not into playing games or shop online so I guess I'll not join this site.

I received the check from inbox dollars last week. It took me 6 months to reach the payout. I personally feel, inboxdollars is good because i get 4 paid mails everyday. I don't do survey or offers there. I joined netflix movie rentals through them previously. So I got 10$ from them. Thats why I could reach the payout soon. Once you get the first check, you will be a gold member there.

I am not having any luck with the survey section. It kept prompting the error that that the survey is not valid for my country...How much can I earn from playing games. Games seems the friendliest and applicable to my country. The paid per offer session looks very risky to me. If I forgot to cancel the service that I signed up for...will they charge me?

I have been a member of Inbox Dollars and it's sister site, or whatever you want to call it, Send Earnings. I usually just read the e-mails that are sent to me and will occasionally fill out a survey or sign up for something that interests me. I know that it seems as though $30 is a lot before you can cash out, but I believe the sign-up bonus is $5 or $10, so they want people to stay on their site(s). I requested payment from Inbox Dollars and received the check in the mail at the time they said I would receive it, which I think was 60 days from the request. It is a good feeling to know that I did not get scammed. I have not yet requested payout from Send Earnings, but will be able to soon. One bit of advice: You may request payment at $30, but if you want the full $30, I would wait to request payout until you reach $33 because they charge a $3 processing fee. It is a nice treat though when you receive it in the mail =)

I'm also a member of Inboxdollars and i think it's great you don't have to purchase anything that option is there just in case you were planning on purchasing a item you could just buy from them and be rewarded for it. And the more surveys you take the better you'll become at it. A lot of times when people disqualify for a survey it usually one question thats the reason. And the # 1 question that gets most people diaqualified is: Do you or any member of your family work for any of the following industries you should always choose no for that question for some reason when you choose one you'll be disqualified.
