    Congratulation! I signed up 2 days ago and have so far £11, but these surveys are driving me crazy. In the middle of the survey they say I'm not the match. Waste of time. Maybe I will manage to make the £20 soon and then I give up. They earn much more on selling our details (proper details!) than you will ever earn on this site. Basically, a good business for them, not for us. :money:

    I absolutely agree. The only reason I've done it really is I have some spare time at the moment and it was a challenge trying different things, plus its money.

    My first cheque arrived on Friday on time so at least it turned into something real as is now in the bank. I'm now marked as a gold member and currently have £5.90. It's going much slower now. I was doing searches each day but the reward on these searches has now hit the floor, 1p per four! So I've given up on those. I'm only doing surveys that are short and pay well and ignoring the 25p ones. Much less stress. I've had a couple of better paying surveys since being gold but very few, new free offers that pay have come up but again very few so it's slow now. I may go for one more pay out and call it a day.

    Those surveys that you answer quite a lot of questions and then they say you're not in the demographic are a real pain. I think they should at least pay a percentage if say they ask more than 5 questions for example.

    Wouldn't bother!
    Despite the promise of upto £5, you only ever get 20p/25 p surveys, anything larger & "this survey is now closed"
    Also the length of the surveys for 20p is disgusting, just done a financial one, 25 minutes for 20p, even My Survey or GTM would have offered at least 5 times more for the survey

    Everybody has different things that work for them. Don't be so disparaging it's not very nice.

    I'm stuck on £14 now for a few weeks.
    No surveys at all just emails asking me to join gambling sites.
    I want to make money not lose it.

    Really doubt I will ever get to the cash out amount.
    So on that basis I'm calling it a Con.

    Got a cheque over the weekend so can assure you it's not. With the emails you click the purple button at the botttom and get credited with a penny for every one - you don't have to do the offers.. I never have and I've had at least 3 cheques in the nine months.

    How do you watch movies or whatever they are on inbox pounds I've earns nearly £5 and I've not really don't many surveys just everything else but I read there's movies to watch or something.
    Thanks
  • Not sure if this thread is still active as it has been a while since the last post but I came here because Inboxpounds seems to be getting a bit wobbly. The daily search cap has been reduced to 7p from 14p and the 10p per week loyalty bonus disappeared last month. The tasks link to crowdflower jobs has disappeared this week too. I'm halfway to my next cashout but at this rate I'm wondering if I'll get there. For the past few years I've enjoyed the £20 I got from them every few months.

    A couple of years ago they did have adverts to watch every day for 1p each but they are long gone and maybe that was what you were looking for.

    I'm less than £3 from cashing out. Once I have my money I am closing my account. better sites out there
