I was so excited when I opened my P.O. Box and found the two checks. One was from InBox Dollars and the other was from Sendearrnings. This was the first time I cashed in on them. I waited for my accounts to build up before I cashed in. My were 60 & 70 something $$. You however can cash out at $10 I think.
So what did I spend the Money on? Out of one check I'm paying for my upcoming renewl on my P.O. box. From the second check I bought practical things. I moved in my new apartment in October and I needed kitchen curtains. I finally got them. And I got a deal to boot. I paid $7.44 a set, for two sets, plus I got an outside mat for my porch. I also bought my kitty a big bag of cat food.
So here is a question for everyone. When you get money from working online, do you buy practical stuff or blow it on something fun?

I think with InboxDollars and Sendearnings that you can't cash out until $30. At least it was that way last time I looked. I only have about $20 in one and $13 in the other. I wish it would hurry up and add up so I can cash out on them. When I earn money online I try to buy practical stuff or pay a little extra money on bills.

I hear ya. Thats what I did with mine. $50 for my P.O. Box. I just saved an out of the pocket expense. Plus got some need stuff for the house. I hope you get to cash out soon! I'll tell you what though, It will take about a month to recieve the money. they will give you a release date. I requested mine on October 3rd and just got it.

Maybe soon they will. Then on the other hand they still don't have Pay pal payments either.

congrats. But these 2 programs are not meant for international participants. Hope you are from USA. Can anyone tell me about some genuine programs meant for international members.

I actually got my first InboxDollars cheque back in October and I was way happy about it..Hopefully come Jan/Feb I'll be able to get another one plus some gift cards, payouts and a bond as well which of course means TATTOO!! OR SHOPPING!!! LOL

It will be awhile before I see another payment from them. I still read all the emails, but have slacked off on the surveys. they take forever some days. Plus the fact you give your info in a survey and halfway thru they tell you, your not eligable for that survey and you have to start all over again.

Inboxdollars and sendearnings sends me plenty of emails eveyday. Check your profile and see if you can update it to get more emails.

Hey that is awesome! Congrats!I have been wondering about those two sites I have joined both now it just makes me want to work that much harder at them. I have to wait till $30 dollars to reach payout on them though. I am a pratical person through and through..lol I use the money I get off the sites I do to pay for my internet first then whats left I use to buy things for the house things we need llike household items and if they are any left I save it cause never know when you will need it. Life likes to throw curve balls occasionally. Well again congrats!

Thanks it was alot of work, but worth it. Now I'm starting all over again, but this time I'll take the minimun payout.

I will be using my funds from here and inbox dollars to pay off my debt. I take what I can get. Money is tight but these programs really help.

Soooo true. Every bit does help. And so what if we have to spend a lillte longer online, it is well worth it.

So InBox Dollars really does pay. Aren't they the same kind of sites though? It's my understanding that if you sign up for offers under one site, that you can't do it under another. I would just get confused as to what I signed up for where. I'm doing cashcrate now and have reached payout. I'm going to keep at it though as payout isn't until the 20th.

InBox Dollars and Sendearnings are sister sites. You would not be able to sign up for the same offers. I have done cashcrate . But given up on the site. Don't get me wrong. I have cashed in 3X's, but the pending list outweighs they paid list. It is a great site though. Just remember to keep dumping your cookies everyday.

I know it does take awhile to reach payout. It took me a long time.

I got my first check today and it was 12.29$ from DealBarbiePaysFast.
Thing is, they wrote my username instead of my last name :D.
However my mother says that since it's such a small amount, the bank will probably let it slide this one time.
If not, I can just log on to the site on the bank's computer to show them that it is my account and that the name is merely typo (or ask DBPF to resend the check with my correct name on it).
Usually when I earn money elsewhere I get paid via Paypal, however I'm not verified so I had to get a check payment from DBPF.
When I earn money I WANT to save it, but xmas season kind of ruined that :D

Besides the emails everyday. I spent alot of time on the surveys. You can only do 1 a day, but geesh tring to get one and then sitting for like a 1/2 hour, but it was worth it.

I was saving for a new car so every bit of my online earnings even though it's not much has helped. I now have my car. Yes it's secondhand but it's still new to me. I also like to buy treats for my son and myself. It always feels so exciting when you reach payout and get your check etc, almost like christmas.

congrats on the new car. I would like a new car to, but it would take forever with what I make online.

I almost always buy practical items, simply because I need the money and am not at liberty to blow it on something fun! I have been paid a few times now from inbox dollars. The first time I was a bit over $50 and the second time about $35. I'm almost able to cash out again. One thing that bother me, however, is how long it takes for the checks to arrive! I recently signed up at sendearnings, so I'm not able to cash out there quite yet, but I can't believe how its literally like a double of inboxdollars. Are they connected in any way, do you know?
Enjoy your earnings! Congrats on your checks!

Yes sendearnings and inboxdollars are sister sites. And it really sucks having to wait about a month to get a check that took some time to build up.

Yes you should reconsider. Just remember it will take about a mont to recive the money, but it is worth it. I just wish they would go to pay pal.

I have also used my mylot money to buy things online. It's great to have apay pal account when you don't have credit cards, but want to spend money online.

It's really boreing but I spend it on pratical stuff. Even a little helps with the bills. You aren't counting on it so why not use what ever extra you have to help out and do something that will better you and your family? Eventually though I hope that I'll be able to play with some of it. Lol
