Does anybody use inbox dollars?

[jimvictor]

Come to think about it, I havent recieved any paid survey offers thru Inbox for quite awhile myself.  Dont know whats up with that.

I belonged to Sendearnings and Inbox for years. They used to pay 1.00 for their daily surveys, and Dan Cotter, the owner and who made around 12 million dollars last year IIRC, cut everyone's daily survey earnings to .50. That is total and utter BS. He is still getting paid the same amount of money from advertisers, only he got greedy and thought there were enough desperate people out there willing to spend 30 minutes a day for only .50. The moment I logged on earlier this year and saw he cut our survey earnings in half I quit.

Also, his 2 companies, sendearnings and inbox charge $3 for you to receive a payout. What the h*ll is that all about? So you have to do surveys for almost a week just to give him more money so that he will release your own money to you. I am so glad FusionCash doesn't do that.

I wouldnt give Dan Cotter one more second of my time. The only thing I will say about sendearnings and Inbox is the very few times I didnt get credited for my surveys, and they were extremely rare and only had to do with CIAO surveys, if I did a support ticket on it they would answer me right away, within minutes sometimes and credit me for the survey. That is A+ standing behind your business and honoring those who are making you your money. Very few survey sites will do that. I also never once got the feeling that they were tricking their software (because survey companies can easily do this, dont be naive), to not credit their users for their surveys. Survey sites can do this. They can change their software code for a day, for an hour, for a minute and set it up to where users dont get credited meanwhile the advertisers would never know.

I never felt once that Inbox or Sendearnings did anything like that. But even so, I am not spending 30 minute of my time for .50. Forget that. That is nothing more than taking advantage of the main demographic who do surveys and need the money the most; students, working moms who don't make enough, and stay at home moms needing to make money. They aren't the only demographic of course, but the large majority of it. I hope Dan Cotter's business is slowly crumbling right before his very eyes.

There's a pretty big difference between grossing $12m in sales and the business' owner personally making that much in profit.  I can guarantee you that a big chunk of that gross went to advertising, for one.  I also wouldn't assume that they're making the same per survey now as they were before.  Like everyone else, market research companies are cutting budgets in the face of the recession.

All of that said, I appreciate the compliments - I really hate the feeling of being nickel and dimed and I make it a priority not to do that to our users whenever possible.

I wish I could improve the crediting on the daily surveys, but as we've explained, it's out of my hands.  The market research companies can choose who and when to approve, and since their survey qualification changes daily/hourly depending on available projects there is no exact conversion rate that I can expect out of the offer.  I do not believe that the daily survey companies intentionally take surveys and then fail to credit you.  Doing that may make money in the short run, but these companies are older players in the space and should know better.  What I think is more likely, is that their questions are worded and displayed in a way that allows them to detect if you're making up answers, or just not paying attention and giving conflicting answers, or if you claim to be working in different industries from day to day or survey to survey.  You see, integrity is very important to these companies (for obvious reasons) and they'll go to lengths to ensure it.  This theory is also supported by the crediting history of the offers.  They seem to credit very consistently for many users, and fairly spottily for others.  This would be the case if the majority were giving valid answers and getting credited, and some minority are lying about their qualifications and thus only get credited for some class of surveys where those lies don't matter, for example if the survey is open to the general population.  This is all just a theory, though.

Yes I  do. You have to make up to $30 or $40 dollars in order to earn a check. When you finally do earn enough money, you have to wait a month before you get it.

Inbox dollars was the first site I ever joined. I still use it occasionally but as mentioned above they cut the surveys to .50. That wasnt cool. It does suck theat Dan is making tons of money and cutting what he gives us.
On the other hand to answer your question...they do pay out. My biggest check from them was $166

I agree that about the .50 surveys... I pretty much stop dealing with them after that.

I like that once a month they send me "survey opportunities" - 30 min survey for .50??? No thanks...

[gesus]

Yes , i was so bumed when Inbox and Sendearnings cut the surveys in half !!! ughhhh that ment i has to do Twice as many surveys to get some money , and i think he rasied the amount to get ur check sent to you , too. i dont go to Sendearnings or Inbox dollars that much anyways , i mainly spend my time on Fuison Cash and Cash Crate , how ever neither of their Daliy Surveys are getting me anywhere

Basically you have to six surveys for free just to get paid... I still do their paid emails, but I doubt I'll earn enough to cash out again.

[Quirita]

lol. I know what you mean about not making enough just doing paid emails..what is the rate of pay for that like .02 each?
