PineCone Research is once again looking for men and women panelists between the ages 18-24! To get started, go here and answer a questionnaire to see if you meet the current recruitment needs. If so, you’ll be redirected to the sign up form page!

I personally believe that Pinecone Research is one of the BEST survey companies out there! You’ll get paid $3 for every survey you complete! And for all you college students, this is a great way to earn a little extra money!

Check out what Hip2Save readers have said about Pinecone Research…

I’m impressed! I just received a $3 check in the mail for a survey I took LESS than a week ago! I had my doubts that I would ever see any checks (like so many other survey companies out ther) but this one actually paid as promised!

I love Pinecone. All the good things they said are true. Lots of products sent to you to try and $3 per survey. I get 3-4 a month. It’s great!

I’ve been with Pinecone for about 6 months now and love them. I can do the surveys while my son plays by my feet and they send a check within a few days (I haven’t gotten around to setting up the Paypal option yet). And in the last week I’ve even received two separate products to try out and report back on! Its a great company to work with
.

I’ve been a member for at least the past 6 months and I love it! I mostly only get 1 survey a week, but every now and then, I’ll get 3! And while it is only $3 a survey, you really can’t beat it for only 10-15 minutes of your time! I’ve been a member of several survey companies and this surpasses all of the rest. I’ve also been selected to try several different products- which are always full size! This is a great opportunity!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Pinecone!!! I finally got accepted last time they were taking new members and I LOVE it. I love that you only get sent surveys you qualify for so you don’t get half way through only to have them you don’t qualify. You get paid $3 for every completed survey AND they load your money onto a debit Mastercard (if you choose that option) and it can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted including online!!! Good luck everyone This is the best survey panel out there! IMO

  • Laura says:

  • stacy says:

  • stacy says:

  • Savannah says:

    I’m a HUGE fan of Pinecone! Both I and my husband are members and have received not only money in our paypal accounts but also free products! Best survey site out there!

    • Anna says:

      Savannah, how can you AND your husband be members? I am interested in this! My husband would love to join but we always assumed it would be one per household. I think we checked once and that’s how it appeared to us? Am I wrong? I hope so! :)

      • Savannah says:

        Hm, I’ve never heard that they only allow one membership per household but if that’s the case then I suppose one of us will have to cancel our membership. It doesn’t mention anything about it in the member agreement but maybe that information is somewhere else on the website and I just missed it.

      • Laura says:

        I believe you are right Anna. I remember reading that it’s one per household.

        • dawn says:

          On the sign-up page it says in bold print toward the bottom, “Multiple registrations of the same Household will void all registrations. “

  • Jamie says:

    I love pinecone.I get excited to see their surveys in my email. automatically qualify and quick payment

  • kristin says:

    still trying to get in. :(

  • Kristina says:

    I am 23 but for some reason I do not qualify, any ideas why? Thank you!

  • Brandy says:

    I have been a member for almost a year now and think they are really easy to work with. 3 dollars isn’t much, but the surveys don’t take up much time and the checks arrive quickly. With the money that I have earned I was able to buy my son an enclosed toddler trampoline for his birthday! He is going to be a very happy 3 year old this weekend! My mom was accepted a few months ago and she has her earnings deposited onto a debit card. She uses that card for little splurges like Starbucks and nail polish.

  • Anna says:

    Now Pinecone has an OPTION to be paid via a Mastercard they send in the mail once. When you take a survey, they add $3 to your card balance, and you use it like a credit card. I love using it for couponing at the drugstores when my total due is barely anything! Just FYI.

  • Jennifer C says:

    I love Pinecone, too! It’s so simple and the payouts are quick to my Paypal acct! :)

  • Heidi says:

    I just joined the last time they opened up registration. Very exciting to be able to get paid in under a week from completing a survey ~ AND then getting a sample to try out, too. I have only gotten one sample, but it was very awesome. It is not a lot of money, but an average of $12 a month is pretty nice. I am putting it away with my coins to save for a Nook Color. That way, I can look back and see what Pinecone has bought for me. :)

  • Brittany says:

    I joined Pinecone a couple months ago when Collin posted about it, I like that its loaded onto a prepaid debit card, but they do not offer a lot of surveys so I am just letting the balance grow on that card. I did get selected for a survey and they sent me out a new food product to try and then answer a few more questions after I tasted. That was pretty neat! My favorite survey site is Opinion Outpost, I get serveral surveys a week paying anywhere from $1-3 I have made over $100 the since April of this year

  • Sammi says:

    As a college student, I can’t wait to start earning a little extra money. Even a little bit count ! ($3 every once and a while should be able to cover the low dollar amounts I spend at the store each week after all of my coupons!)

  • Robbie says:

    I have been a panelist since January. I receive my payments to my PayPal acct usually the next day. I have received full-size products to try. I love it!

  • Emilytwinmom says:

    I love pinecone too! I get two to three surveys a month, and use the little pink debit card to buy the kids and I lunch when we go shopping – yes, we’re cheap dates ;)

  • Lisa says:

    I love pinecone. All this free stuff. Free food, free maxi pads, free stuff plus $3 surveys every month a few times. Not much money but the occasional free stuff is awesome. And the surveys are kind of short

  • metta says:

    I still waiting for an invite to join also!

  • Jude says:

    Pinecone has an excellent reputation with me!

    (A good way for students (high school & college) to earn a few bucks! It helps!!)

  • TAMI says:

    I LOVE Pinecone, I also have credit card and use for my drug store
    purchases. I done like spending alot of time for nothing like alot
    of the others I have tried. I just joined Tulona does anyone know
    if this one is worth it? Thanks

  • Amanda_J says:

    I love taking surveys for Pinecone, and get my payments in PayPal. Whenever a magazine deal comes up, or I see coupons I need on eBay, I can use my balance in PayPal and never pay a cent! This is a great program, I have been sent 3 things to try – 1 merchandise and 2 food (yum!).

  • Michelle735 says:

    I have belonged to Pinecone for a long time. It’s been long enough I don’t remember when I joined. They are honested and professional company. It’s good extra income for a SAHM like me. The $3 does add up. I have done this year, 4 mystery shops with another site (feedback plus) and many surveys from pinecone and have over $100 in my paypal for X-mas gifts!!! With this MyPoints (earned gift cards), Swagbucks (amazon), etc. ..Christmas will be at a very little OOP!!!

  • cathy says:

    be careful with them, if they feel they have enough of your “type” (age range, location, whatever) they will randomly go through and delete accounts and not even inform you at all.They did this to me and my mom (we live in different cities and households) I wrote to them and they said they cannot reactivate my account.

  • K says:

    I would sign up, but since my husband works for a gas station associated with a supermarket, NONE of these type websites want ANYTHING to do with me. Any thoughts why?

  • Ashley says:

    Just got in! So excited to start answering surveys and getting paid haha :)

  • JJ says:

    I just got in! How exciting! Thanks for letting us know!
