I am an inboxdollars member and have tried numerous times to take their paid surveys. Everytime I try to take one, I am either not qualified and can't participate, or I spend half an hour taking it only to get a frozen screen at the end and an error message. In short, I am not making any money and feel as though I will never make anything from these surveys. Anyone having the same problem?

helloo kitty,
I had the same problem for a week. I came to know with one of my frnd but it didnt work out for me. So i unsubscribed the emails. I go fed by seeing those in my inbox and junk mails.

I do surveys for points instead of money. I don't there really are survey sites that pay that big money. What I did is just answer surveys to earn points. Try mysurvey.com. That is the website where I answer surveys from. I am able to earn points from it and then the accumulated points have corresponding rewards. I have actually received a backpack from that site. It is a very cool backpack except for the very big logo that says "mysurvey" in front.

I am a member of mypoints as well as inboxdollars. Mypoints gives you points for taking surveys, but I have had the same problem with the surveys on this site. I never have qualified for one. I have found that it's hard to earn points on this site too. You can print coupons for points, but you don't get the points until you redeem them. I will say that they do have some really good coupons to print!!! I will have to try mysurvey as well. Ever tried the Ipsos i-say panel? I just got an invite to join them too.

I haven't tried that one. But then, I am not looking for another survey site anymore. I just don't like having so many accounts on things online. I have a good experience with Mypoints so far. Hopefully, it would continue.

I do other survey sites and free offers. Have you ever heard of GPT sites. I have alot of luck with them. I have them listed on my website which I have the link to in my profile if you want to take a look. The sites I work with have been around for awhile and they payout. I make pretty good extra income with them. Good luck

only problem with survey sites is that it takes so long to make any money, theres far better ways of doing it not as easy but builds you aresidual income instead of a one hit of income like a survey does.
Have a look at my website on my profile and theres abit more info on there but I stopped doing surveys as when I worked it out I was earning about 1 usd an hour on average not a great use of my time as time is precious.
