I told you about MyPoints last week and how you can earn giftcards for taking surveys and reading emails. There is another program that is accepting applications called InBoxDollars.
I have heard of this program before but I have not had personal experience with it. If any readers have already signed up please let us know what you think!

My understanding is that you can make money for reading emails and taking surveys. They are also offering a $5 signup bonus for new members. Click HERE for more information.
I have been doing Inbox Dollars for about 1 yr. You receive about 2 cents (I think) for each email that you open. The hard part is that you don't receive any of your money until you reach $30. I still have not reached that yet after a year. The surveys are frustrating because you can spend a lot of time answering questions and then it will say that you are not qualified for that survey. Also, a lot of the surveys pay $1 for a 20 minute survey which to me doesn't pay enough. I will keep reading the emails until I reach the $30 and then will probably stop the program.
I have done this one for a while…probably around 9 months. I have gotten one $30 check and am at $20 on my second one. I don't do any of the surveys, just read the emails. Which you don't have to really "read" the entire thing, just open it.

I also have been a member a little over 4 months and am over $13, but its slow going. The good part is it takes 20-30 seconds of time to earn 8-10 cents. They send plenty of offers to your inbox.
I've been doing Inboxdollars for about 4yrs now. My first check was over $70 and it took me about 1.5yrs to get to that amount. My second check was $50ish and it took me about a year. I'm up to over $39 in my account now (since the end of 2007) but will wait until I reach $100 or so before "cashing in" this time.
It's not great money but it is free. Free is good. 🙂
I have a couple of other websites that earn me free cash too (besides IBD & MyPoints).
