    “Thank You for Signing Up!

    Thank you for signing up for the PineCone Research online consumer panel! In order for us to finish processing your registration we have sent you an email with a link to a few additional questions. Your prompt completion is appreciated and based upon your responses will place your name into the queue for survey selection.”

    Is that a good sign?

    • CrescentCityCurly

      Yes Mindy, I think this reply is standard. I’ve already earned almost $40 and I think I’ve only been doing surveys since September or October.

      • Mindy

        Oh, ok! Thank you!

  3. Kimberly

    I never get accepted😩

  4. Cat

    I never get accepted either, I think it’s the fact that I have no children. 🙁

    • Heather

      I don’t think that’s the reason. I am a single mother with 2 children and I never get accepted either.

    • Dawn

      I have children. I think I never get chosen because I am a white female between the ages of 45-50.

    • Emily

      I have no children and I’m a member. When they send these out, it is usually because they’re looking for a specific target in a specific region. I think they randomly go through and cut people that haven’t been taking the surveys in one region and then open this up to try to fill those specific spaces. Keep trying, you might eventually get in.

    I have been doing surveys with this company for almost 2 months now and I have only earned 15.00. Not really worth it for me

    • Haseena

      Check your account settings, you might’ve opted out to receive 1-2 surveys a month, I had and I been doing surveys for this company for years, usually 2-3 on a good month and about 2 weeks ago I was just browsing around my account and noticed I had checked marked to only receive 2-3 surveys a month, so I changed it to as many as available and now I been getting at least 2 a week.

    Sign up to mystery shop with Market Force, then go to JobSlinger and they host a bunch of different ones. I’ve made well over $500 since starting in October. Put my email as your referral: brittney.b.brewer@gmail.com

    • Nina

      Are you paid hourly with Market Force?

  7. Lauren

    How do I get cash/ gift cards for completing the surveys? I seem to only be able to connect to the rewards catalogue where you can redeem points for stuff. Thanks

    • georgia

      For cash search “$3.00” and it will come up. It took me awhile to find the cash option until I did that. Gift cards I’m not sure. Probably something similar but I always do cash. Good luck!

      • Mel

        Thanks for the tip! I’ve been trying to figure that out!

        • georgia

          You’re welcome!

      • Lauren

        Thank you!

    • Lisa

      I’m having the same problem finding the cash option.

      • Bobbi

        If you click on “Featured Awards,” Cash Option is the last thing listed. Hope that helps!

        • Lisa

          Thank you, Bobbi! Found it.

  8. Rhonda

    I love this company. I have been with them for a few years now. I do not have any children living at home anymore. I qualified with just my husband and I at home. We are in our late forties. I highly recommend this company.

  9. Sara

    Just keep trying. The first 4 times I never got accepted. Last time Collin posted I tried again and got in.

  10. Summer

    Pinecone, OO, yourword (get $0.10 even if you are not qualified) and instagc (fastest) are my favorite. This is the link if you wanna try instagc

    Pinecone is pretty awesome compared to other survey sites-They pay-out the best. The lady that runs it is very sweet and I never have to fight to get my payments or get disqualified after you answer most of the survey questions. Survey companies are not always fair but you just kinda got take it as it goes. I am always getting products before they hit the shelves to test those are fun (shampoo/cake mixes, pens, just fun little silly things, pizza dough, lots of food stuff). You are right you don’t get to many surveys from pinecone- So I am at several companies. I think most survey companies want at least mom’s with kids and the younger the better/they also like if you have a teen they always want to survey her. I do pretty good with being on several sites I average about 300 bucks a month if I really put work into it. But those surveys get so repetitive especially the insurance and alcohol surveys they get so long. Must feel chatty tonight- that’s just some info on what surveying is like. But if you qualify for Pinecone I would do it I get about at-least 30 bucks a month from that website and I notice the more you participate the more surveys you get. So yea 30 bucks not much (Kinda pays my cell-phone bill each month) but that’s why I am signed up with several companies. If you want to make money you have to put time into it and your not going to get rich.

    They keep sending me emails to answer household questions, but I’ve yet to get a survey.
