InboxDollars is a “get-paid-to” (GPT) platform that allows users to earn cash by completing various online activities. Founded in 2000 and now owned by Prodege, the platform offers several ways to earn, including taking surveys, reading promotional emails, playing games, watching videos, shopping online, and uploading receipts for cashback. Users can also earn money by participating in product testing and searching the internet through the InboxDollars search engine. InboxDollars rewards its members in cash rather than points, with a $30 minimum payout threshold, and new users receive a $5 bonus just for signing up. Payments can be redeemed via PayPal, gift cards, or checks.

To qualify for InboxDollars, users must meet a few straightforward requirements. Participants need to be at least 18 years old and reside in a region where the platform is accessible, typically the United States. Signing up is free, and users can register with an email address or a social media account like Facebook. After creating an account, participants are required to fill out demographic information to help match them with relevant surveys and offers. Although there are no formal education or experience requirements, participants need to answer pre-screening questions accurately to determine their eligibility for specific surveys. Users also need to stay active to make the most out of the platform by regularly checking for new activities like surveys, cashback offers, or receipt uploads. Additionally, having a PayPal account or access to gift card redemption options is essential to cash out rewards once the $30 payout threshold is reached​.
