YAY! This opportunity is still available…

If you are interested in earning a little extra money for holiday shopping from the comfort of your own home, you’ll definitely want to head on over and apply to become a Pinecone Research panelist! To get started, go here and answer a brief questionnaire to see if you meet the current recruitment needs. If you qualify, you’ll be redirected to the sign up page where you will need to fill out the form with your information so that you can start receiving survey opportunities.

As I have said many times before, I personally believe that Pinecone Research is one of the BEST survey companies out there! In fact, it’s ranked as the #3 US survey site on Survey Police! What’s so great about Pinecone Research? You’ll earn points for every survey you complete, which can be exchanged for cash and other rewards. Plus, you’ll be entered into their bi-weekly Sweepstakes to win cash prizes!

Plus, check out this email I just received from Hipster, Linda…

I just wanted to thank you. I signed up for Pinecone Research when you posted it and within a few days, I was making money doing surveys. Within 2-3 weeks, I received my first product to try… and yesterday, I just received another product to try.

I am so excited to try these products. I hope the “payouts” are easy like everyone said. I haven’t done that yet. But I wanted to thank you.[/h2s_box]

*Keep in mind that these spots tend to fill up fast, so if you’re interested or know of someone who might be interested, better hurry on over here and apply before the spots fill up!

    I love Pinecone – I do several surveys a week for them. The surveys are short and they pay promptly through Paypal.

  2. Jenny

    This is an awesome company! Have been doing surveys for them for a few years and nothing but positive things to say. Easy surveys, prompt payment, and occasionally a product to try. Highly recommended!!

  3. Chloe

    I love Pinecone! I do the cash payouts and usually receive my checks within a few days. I’ve been a member for a couple of years – I have no complaints. It’s east money and I sometimes get free products to try.

    I dislike them, surveys long and boring..I just cashed out I am thru!

    • julie

      I agree! I quit shortly after they stopped paying $3 check for each survey.

      • Alyssa L.

        They still do. You go into the rewards site, select “featured rewards,” and redeem your points for paypal/check. You get 300 points per survey, which equals $3.

  5. Alice

    I signed up and never got any surveys, it has been months and nothing.

    • michelle

      It’s been almost 2 years since I signed up & when I emailed them about it I got a rude email saying I needed to wait for them to contact me. Plenty of other sites out there.

  6. lisa

    Do anyone know how to register for an open spot? I kept registering and a spot never was opened for me.

  7. Amber

    I’ve been a member for about a month and can’t find the cash out option. Can anyone tell me where to find it?

    • Aryanna

      Once you’re logged in, click on the REDEEM link located at the top and wait to be redirected. You will see a Shop button with a bunch of categories, you need to click on the Featured Award option and then click on Cash Option. You can use Paypal or receive a check in the mail. Hope that helps.

    • Kam

      If you want Paypal, you first have to cash out with a check. When you receive your check in the mail, then you send them an email stating you want Paypal payments. They will send you an email when you are approved for Paypal payments. It’s a bit of a hassle, but I got my Paypal payment within one day, so it’s worth it.

    I’ve been on pinecone for a while now, and it’s pretty easy to do. They give u a survey about once or twice a week. Each survey pays about $3. Occasionally they’ll send u a product to test. I’ve had a couple sent including drinks and home products not in the market yet. pretty cool. Surveys are pretty boring and repetitive so I haven’t been participating lately….

  9. Aryanna

    Pinecone Research is awesome. I applied several times and finally got accepted last month. I love making money taking surveys and trying out products before they hit the market. I highly recommended them.

  10. Taryn

    Says there are no opening for someone with my household line up:(

    • mom2six

      Same here every time I apply. 🙁

    • meg

      Same here..I understand they may be looking for a particular demographic but they need to state that upfront! Wasted time giving them my info only to be told I don’t fit.

  11. Diana

    Thanks Collin I registered so we will see what happens

    • nicolegammeter

      Hopefully, you’ll hear from them soon! 🙂

  12. Sara

    It let me register then took me to the home page. I have no log in though. Should I get an email?! Or just meant I’m not needed?

    • Amanda

      Same here – I’m confused. 🙁

  13. Beth

    How are the taxes paid on the money you make from pinecone?

    • Alyssa L.

      If you make $600 per year (the reporting threshold), the company would have to send you a 1099 so that you can report the income to the IRS and pay the taxes accordingly. While Pinecone is an awesome site and you get $3 per survey, you will not get to $600 in a calendar year. That would be over 16 surveys a month – the most I get is 5.

  14. Andrea

    I love this survey site…just got a sample to try out and surveys are very short compared to mind field and opinion it and u always qualify😄

  15. Karen

    I love Pinecone. The great thing about them is that I am automatically qualified for the surveys they send me. They also reward quickly.

  16. Danielle

    I signed up last time you posted. (A month or two ago) and never heard anything at all…? :-/

  17. Karen

    I have been with Pinecone for a few years and I love it Yes some surveys are long and some surprisingly short You got to take the good with the bad

  18. QODeals

    They asked so many personal questions like DOB, family member names,etc. I’ve never done anything like this before and it makes me nervous to give out this info. It’s safe and legit? I don’t mean to sound paranoid.

    • Alyssa L.

      Pinecone is a reputable survey site (one of the very few I’ve found). I haven’t had any issues in the 3 years I’ve been with them.

  19. Kelley Q

    I signed up last month when you posted about them and was accepted. I got my first survey last week. It wasn’t the most exciting thing to participate in, but it was interesting to be asked about a new product.

  20. Yoli

    Just registered. Hopefully I don’t have a negative experience like many above. Thanks Collin!

  21. Shay

    I’m a member of myview there pretty good

  22. Kristen M

    Didn’t get it.

  23. Kristen M

    Has anyone used Darwin’s Data?

  24. Courtney

    I just got the confirmation email that I’m in! Yay!
