OMG! I am so upset. It has taken me FOREVER to get to the 30 dollar pay out. So I get on this morning to ask for pay out. I find out if I request it today I won't get a check until the first of June! That's right. It takes them 30 more days to process the check. I'm like it took me so freakin' long to get here now I have to wait another month??I am thinking I will wait until the last day of April to request the pay out as they say that a request any day in April pay out will be the first of June!! That way I can make a tiny bit more before then!

Hi macdingolinger! Sorry to hear that, are you sure? I have been a member of inbox for a couple of years and I usually get my checks within a week. In fact I should be receiving one sometime this week from them. And about the $3 processing fee, it really does not make a difference because once you cashout they credit your account with a $3 cashout bonus. Happy earning!

That's cool! I didn't know about the cashout bonus! That's good then! I think it is only the first time after your first cashout you are automatically upgraded or something then it's done every week.

They said if I ask for it any day of April it will be June 1st before I get the check. So I figure I'll wait until the last day of April so it can be as much as possible!

Yes InboxDollars does take 30 days to process your payment. If you are a member of SendEarnings they are the same way. I was very disappointed when I got my first payout but it is almost essentially free money. They also charge a $3 processing fee as well. So don't be surprised when your check is less than $30.

Yeah, they said it will be like 27 bucks. But someone told me that they credit the 3 dollars back in a "payout" bonus. That's okay except that they will always have the extra 3 bucks and there's no way to get it! I do send earnings too but I'm only to about 25 bucks there so far.

Hiii there,
Are you Sure atlist that they pay?I mean after all this if it run out scam then it will be unbearable pain.
Well what can i say?I just hope you get your money atlist after 30 days.
Dont go for such a site.I think there are many survey sites where they use paypal for cash out and cash out is low like 5 or 10 dollars.I think they are far more better.They too go scam sometime but then loosing 5 dollar is tolerable thing.

Thanks for letting us know. I can't believe it takes that long to process a check after so much time trying to get to 30 dollars. I'm about 6 dollars away from the 30. I also heard there is some type of charge for processing a check so i don't know how true that is.

Yeah, there's a 3 dollar payout charge. But someone told me that it is credited back as a payout bonus.. so it will all work out! I am at like 31 dollars so I'm waiting until closer to the end of the month since I won't get it until June no matter what! I understand it is faster after the first pay out.

I belong to many sites that take a while to receive payment once you have cashed out.
I have belonged to the one you are talking about for years...I do wish they would add paypal...but if they did that they couldn't charge the $3 check processing fee

I used to be a part of them too Macdingolinger. I know just how you are feeling. Snapdollars is the same thing. It takes so so so long to reach payout and they don't do paypal. You have to wait 30 days for your check. I truthfully got tired of them and pulled out. It seriously took me well over a year to make payout because i did not qualify for most of the surveys. On a positive note....you will get your check and it will clear. they are legit. I cancelled after my first payout on both of them mainly because it took way too long and I did not have the time to devote to surveys only to find I didn't qualify after putting in a lot of time.

Yes it does take quite a long time to actually reach payout on Inboxdollars and it does take even longer to get the check but the point is that they do pay. That's all that really matters to me in virtually any site is that they do actually pay. Some of the best sites that I use pay on a net 30 basis and take 30 days after you request payout to actually receive your money.

You're right Jambi! At least they do pay! I will be very glad to get that first check. I think it doesn't take as long after that!

I have been with inboxdollars for awhile now, but my account was deactivated for some reason, so I didn't get emails for quite some time. It is now activated again, and it will take time to get the payoug again. I wish they used paypal too, but since they don't, I just have to deal them just using checks to pay me. I have only been paid once by them, and yes it does take awhile to reach payout, but it is worth it, as I know I will get paid in the end. I will just stay with inboxdollars. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Yeah, it'll be worth it.. plus they say there is a cash out bonus that is 3 dollars so you get your processing fee back in the end!

Thanks for the heads up on InboxDollars. I knew they were slow at processing but did not realize that it was that slow. But hey if they are going to send me "free" money (LOL) I guess I can wait. Not sure that I will keep doing InboxDollars after I make my payout. How about you? Are you staying with them?

Ha ha ! I cannot just stop laughing after reading that rather hilarious experience of yours. 30 days to process a check?? I can make out 500 checks within that time limit!!! But, remember you are not the only person who is going to cashout!! I will be extra careful when I join InboxDollars. Well, if I were you, I would have opted the PayPal payout if it was there.

They do not process payments electronically. It is only through checks.

Yeah, that's true it would take 30 days before you receive your payout from them but have you tried throe paypal account?. I'm also a member of that site and I'm closer for payout.

Pay Pal is much faster. But inbox doesn't pay through any of the electronic means, they only do a check.

They don't send it through any electronic service. It's a check only.

I have had an account with Inbox dollars for a couple years and I just wanted to comment that I know the wait is awhile but I like them because they DO pay. I have worked with so many similar sites and never got paid. I am with another one that had the pay out at $30 too and when I reached that they changed it to me for $40.
Good luck in earning, I just wanted to give you some relief by telling you that this company does pay.

Thank you so much! I am very hopeful that they will payout. As long as they pay Iwill probably stay working there. It will be faster to make payout now with the new toolbar options!

macdingolinger,
In the first place, does this site actually pay?
From what you have posted, I am just not confident that you will even receive your paycheck in June. I mean how difficult is it to write a check, let alone send it.
I hate to be the dampener here but I am just not that optimistic with the spate of events here.
Take care and have a nice day.

Everyone says it still pays. So I am not too worried since all the responses from those who have worked it have said they do pay. I guess it'll be worth the wait since they actually will pay out!

Hi friend, I've cashed out from them twice and have always received my check within a week! I know what they say but I think that's just to give themselves more time in case something does come up. Hopefully it will be the same for you. My first cash out was also within a week. I know it takes a while to reach that cash but getting your check makes it all worth while. Are you also a member of their sister site sendearnings. They are exactly the same.

I don't know why I got mine so quickly. All I know is I did and did the next time as well. And don't worry they do pay!

How did you get your first one in a week. They say it will take a month. then after that you are automatically upgraded to like a gold account or something like that and then they do payouts every week! Maybe it'll be faster than they say! Oh well, it's good to know they pay!

I am hopeful they will pay out! I haven't heard anything negative about them. I am waiting until I build up a little more and I'll be requesting payout later this month.
