MySoapBox has closed
MySoapBox has closed. Its own website announced the closure, so you can no longer join or earn on it. When it was open, it was a survey site that only rewarded you with gift cards and vouchers, not cash. I keep my review below as a record of how it worked. The sites I would pick instead are further down.
MySoapBox has closed. When it was open, you could answer surveys daily, but I think its downside was that it only rewarded you with gift cards and vouchers, not cash. I think its big gift card catalog was its only redeeming quality.

The short answer
MySoapBox has closed. Its own website says so, and you can no longer sign up or earn on it.
When it was open, MySoapBox was a survey site that was open to people worldwide. You could answer surveys daily, and there were lots of gift cards to choose from. But it did not pay cash, only gift cards and vouchers, and you had to reach 25,000 points ($25) before your first reward.
- Open to people worldwide
- Lots of gift cards and vouchers to choose from
- User-friendly site
- MySoapBox has closed
- The initial payment threshold was high, but became relatively low once you hit it
- Did not offer cash rewards
My experience with MySoapBox
I signed up for MySoapBox and looked at the member dashboard, the rewards, the mobile site, the registration and the support options. There was not a lot of information on its website about how it worked, which is a shame. This is what I tested myself, and what I did not test.

Was MySoapBox legit and safe?
MySoapBox has closed. When it was open, it rewarded you with gift cards and vouchers. Apart from the lack of information on its website, it did not have any glaring problems, but these were the catches.
- It has closed
MySoapBox’s own website now says it has closed. When it was closing, it referred you to a new survey site called Payswell, and you could no longer sign up.
- No cash rewards
You could not exchange your points for cash like on PrizeRebel, Swagbucks or other survey sites. Only gift cards and vouchers, which can be as good as cash, depending on your preferences.
- A high first threshold
You had to reach 25,000 points ($25) before your first reward. After that, there was not really a threshold.
- Little information on the website
The website did not say much about how you earned, how the Survey Roulette worked or how you received your gift cards.
- Problems with points
Two readers reported problems with their points: one in July 2023 wrote that her account was revoked for too many disqualifications, and one in November 2024 could not redeem her points.
My takeMySoapBox has closed, so it is not an option. When it was open, it could be a good secondary site if you were into gift cards and coupons. But if you want cash, the top survey sites in your country let you earn real money too.
How you earned on MySoapBox
There were 3 ways to earn on MySoapBox. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveys750 to 1,500 points per survey
Most of your points came from the paid surveys in the member dashboard. The dashboard showed the reward for the surveys, but not on all of them. I am not sure why, but in my opinion, if you are going to show the rewards, you might as well show them on ALL the surveys.
One good thing was that you could answer surveys daily, unlike some sites where you only get 5 to 6 surveys a month.
Survey RouletteVaried by survey
The Survey Roulette acted as a router, a gateway to surveys from other survey providers, and MySoapBox paid you the points. Its website did not say much about how it worked, which is a shame.
Survey routers give you access to quite a lot of surveys, but with routers it sometimes takes a bit of patience to find the surveys you qualify for, depending on where you live. Overall, the roulette meant you had several more options to take surveys.
Referral programPoints per member
You earned points for every member you invited, much like on SurveySavvy. It was a nice bit of passive earning, in my opinion, but not enough to earn a significant amount unless you could refer 100 friends or more. There are better survey sites with far better referral programs.
How much could you make?
If you consider gift cards and vouchers as money, MySoapBox let you earn a decent amount. You normally earned around 750 to 1,500 points per survey, you got 2,000 points after you finished your registration, and even when you were disqualified, you still got 10 points.
So, it was fairly easy to reach 25,000 points, and you could answer surveys daily between the paid surveys and the Survey Roulette. But the inability to reward you with real money was the downside of MySoapBox, in my opinion.
How MySoapBox paid
You exchanged your points for gift cards or vouchers. 1,000 points were worth $1.
| Reward | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Gift cards and vouchers (first reward) | 25,000 points ($25) |
| Gift cards and vouchers (after the first reward) | The points needed for the reward you want |
The large catalog of gift cards was, in my opinion, the only redeeming quality of MySoapBox. I also liked that the threshold only applied once. In my opinion, it was a nice way to reward members who showed they wanted to stay active. For survey sites that pay in cash, see the best PayPal survey sites.

In the meantime you can check out the best sites to earn Amazon gift cards here. Those are sites I know pay without pay problems.
I have been a MySoapBox member for a while. Yesterday, they sent me an email saying my account was revoked because I had too many disqualifications and too many of their clients are not accepting my submissions. WHAT??? I cashed out my first 25,00 points a couple weeks ago and was doing surveys just fine. This is questionable. I think they’re trying to avoid payouts. I was already up to another 18,000points. So they just revoke my points that I EARNED too? This has me very angry and it is not a legitimate reason. If I qualify for a survey, I qualify. How can they just revoke my acount as though I have violated a rule or something. I belong to several other survey sites and have no problem with them. MySoapBox is not justified in what they did…and stole the points I honestly earned. If I had so many disqualifications, then how did I earn all these points so quickly?
That definitely sounds strange. Sorry to hear about that but thanks for sharing your experiences so others can see.

The site is not currently working. And I don’t know why.
