  1. hi there

    Sorry for this question but does anyone know who this lady on the ad is? I see her face everyday, everywhere she seems to be a model of everything and yet no one knows her name.

  2. Aloha

    I know people say this all the time but I LOVE Pinecone! I’ve made $90 in less than 1 year and tried at least 6 products. It’s been so fun and definitely worthwhile!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Oh awesome! That’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing πŸ™‚

    • Vivienne

      Is there a way you get chosen more often to try products? I’ve done Pinecone for about 8 months and only tested 3 products.

      • Aloha

        Not that I know of. It’s all in how you fill out the survey as far as I know.

      • S

        That’s great! I’ve been with pine cone for a year and a half and have tested two products!

      • mumm

        I’ve done 3 in the last year but I have done enough surveys to have about $135 in my account.

    I recently signed up on Close5. It’s a free app. It’s an easy way to earn some extra cash for the holidays by selling your unwanted stuff.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Cool!

  4. April schoening

    I didn’t qualify πŸ™ wonder who they are looking for

  5. Amy

    Unrelated, but does anyone happen to know of a good code for fanatics? They have one for 30% off $50 but I wasn’t planning to spend that much. I just wanted one item. Thanks!

  6. Shayne

    Yea! Finally got picked =)

    • Aloha

      Congrats!

      • shayne

        Thanks! I’ve tried before and haven’t been chosen. Looks like you have enjoyed some good results =)

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay!

  7. Krista

    I love this company! So easy to earn extra cash! I don’t get to sample a lot of products but that’s ok! πŸ™‚

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet! Thanks for the feedback Krista!

  8. Natasha

    No luck this time πŸ™

    I’ve been a member for about a year, and haven’t earned a whole lot–around 60 bucks–but I DO love that when you get the surveys in your email you are guaranteed to get approved for them and receive payment. I always do the cash-out option. Question for other members though…how do you actually get picked to receive products? Every now and then I get the message at the end of the survey that a manufacturer is interested in sending me a product, but nothing ever comes of it… I’ve checked my address information and it is correct, so what else may be wrong that I never actually get the product to try?

    • Amanda

      I think it all just depends on the way you answer the questions. I’ve been a member for a little over a year and only got 2 samples, one was pull-up diapers and recently I received a new type of candy.

    • Aloha

      I don’t know if this has anything to do with it or not but when a product survey comes up I always put “might or might not buy.” Because I feel like if the company knows I’m on the fence about it they’ll send me the product so I’m more likely to buy it. Good luck!

    • K

      Can you tell me how to cash out in a check? I can only find the product catalog! Ty

      • Aloha

        Search “$3.00 cash.” There are other cash options but that should bring them all up.

        • K

          Thank you I’ll try that

      • Samantha

        Check under “Featured Awards,” and then “cash out” to receive a check.

  10. Susi

    I’ve been a member for 2 years and I do get survey weekly, but have never gotten s product to test

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for sharing your experience Susi!

    • Georgia

      Same here. Been a member about a year & never tested a product but have earned about $40+

  11. Nicole

    I’ve only been signed up since November 11th, and already made $12..super easy to do! Love that you don’t have to do a bunch of surveys, that you don’t end up qualifying for and getting a penny for the 20 minutes you just put in like other sites!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome!

  12. April

    Never ever qualify! I try every time. Too bad u have to put in address and all then tell u that u don’t qualify

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Bummer. Hopefully you will next time!

  13. Karen

    I didn’t make the cut again.. I’ve tried to sign up almost every time it’s posted but I’m not what they are looking for. πŸ˜•

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Darn. Maybe next time!

  14. Adriane

    No luck 😒

  15. S

    I cashed out 85$ two weeks ago and am already back up to $24!

    • Vivienne

      How do you earn so much so quickly? Awesome job??

      • S

        I have my profile set to receive the most surveys. And I always do them, and never skip any so I guess they know I will do them so the send me more! I get at least three a week!

  16. Jessica

    I got chosen this time ! Yay! Looking forward to extra cash

  17. Brie

    Bummer. I work for a CPG company. No go

  18. Neha

    finally got selected this time. woohoo πŸ™‚

  19. Shannon

    It didn’t say if i was selected or not. It said they will notify me by email.

    • DonnaDB

      Me,too.

  20. Kella

    I do love PineCone and its easy money. This is going to sound weird, and I am sorry to be vague, but something has bothered me recently about one of the questions in one of their recent surveys. I’m too embarrassed to post the question here. It was VERY personal and it was very “off” from the normal questions they typically ask. It had to do with personal love life. It had nothing to do with any products at all. I gave feedback on this but they never replied back. Is there anyone who’s been a part of these that might know what I am talking about who found it really odd ? I have been doing these for a while now, they are product driven and this was very odd because it had nothing to do with any of the other questions in the survey and no follow up product questions in relation to it.

    • S

      Was the question in a survey about your household? They ask various questions to see what kind of product surveys they should send you. Maybe they are trying to find people who want to test out condoms and such. I’m not sure if that is what you are referring to though.

      • Kella

        Yea. I was wondering if maybe, that’s where they were going with it but if it was that particular product this question I think would have been worded differently. The question and the answers couldn’t really be used in order to determine a product use.

    • Jenny

      I have received a few women’s intimate products along with condoms and such. They only ask questions to see what you qualify for.

      • Kella

        Ok that could be where it was trying to go with it. That’s the only thing that would make sense.

    • Rachel

      I know what you are talking about. I didn’t answer the first question so I don’t know what the rest entailed but I have never been asked that one before.

    • Erin

      Kella, I also got “that” question on one of my household surveys this week. It really threw me off and made me wonder why on earth they needed to know such personal information. It was really random and thrown into a mix of other questions that were completely unrelated.

      • Kella

        Ok, thank you. My thoughts exactly. Normally something like that you have an answer to say you decline to answer, nope, it made your answer with something in order to move on.

    • mumm

      I got that question too. It did seem weird maybe they are planning on doing something for a product that ties in with the question.

  21. Cking

    If they had me answer a bunch of questions about my life and I had an email saying Once my final registration is processed and accepted I will receive a “Welcome” email, does that mean I’m in? I’ve literally tried for a year and can’t believe it if I finally made it!

    • Jess

      I got this message, too. It seems like they may or may not accept us once reviewed. Can’t wait to hear from them, though!

  22. Jan Batson

    I got accepted! I have wanted to do something like this for a long time! Thank you so much Collin….you rock!!

  23. B

    I’ve never been able to register, for years now. They never seem to want a 20-something female at the times I try. Oh well, maybe someday. πŸ™

  24. Felicia

    I too tried every time you post and I was finally selected and put in queue to get surveys.

    • Aloha

      Congrats!

  25. Spring

    Have been member for 3 years already and i absolutely love it. You are guaranteed to qualify for every survey they send you. And i got tried new product. The latest product i tried is Lay’s chips πŸ™‚ i always save up and cash out at the end of year as a mommy’s reward for myself. And i just bought UGG boots for free thanks to Pinecone πŸ™‚

    • Carrie

      Ha ha, πŸ™‚ I don’t think we’re supposed to disclose the product info for the testing we do on the new/experimental products. I’ve gotten a few now and it’s always been really fun!

      • mumm

        Your right. Your not supposed to talk about the samples outside of family.

  26. rosana

    Can you ladies use my name (rosana hernandez) for a site for surveys expresandote.com and can be done in english as well. Pays good have cash out $40 and about to cash out $50 in less than 6 months. Right now for every referral they will give $5. TIA
