Pinecone Research: Accepting Male Panel Members Between the Ages of 18-24

Hip2Save may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you via trusted partners and affiliate links in this post. Prices and availability are accurate as of time posted. Read our full disclosure policy here.

Are you a young male college student looking to make a little extra money to help pay for Summer School? Or are you just looking to earn a little extra spending money, possibly to take a “HIP” gal out on a date? šŸ˜‰ Or are you a young guy who’s just looking for a way to help pay for the increasing cost of gas or possibly a car payment?



If so, this post is for you!  If you’re a male between the ages of 18-24 (or know of one!) and are looking to earn a little extra money, 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 you can start receiving survey opportunities.

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, which is a lot higher than most survey companies, and they are very prompt in their payment (you’ll even have the option of getting paid by Paypal or via check!).  Plus, you’ll be entered into their bi-weekly Sweepstakes to win cash prizes!

*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 and apply before the spots fill up!

    I just got my first check in the mail yesterday. The surevey was about jello! Honestly!

      Be careful. You’re not allowed to discuss what the surveys are about… But I agree – easy surveys and easy money. Love this company šŸ™‚

    that was funny! šŸ˜€

    I got in when you last posted the sign up link for men 18-24. I took my first survey yesterday! Uber thanks, Collin!

    I signed up a few months ago, and get at least 4 checks a month – $12 isn’t bad for completing a few surveys šŸ™‚

    I love this company, too! While some of the surveys can be long (I wish there was a “progress” indicator), I have received quite a few “new” products to test and evaluate. So you get $3 to complete the survey to see if you qualify to receive a product, then you get the full-sized product to try, and THEN you get another $3 when you complete the evaluation survey about that product! Works for me!

    Thanks Collin, for ALL you do!

      I love when they send stuff to try! I ran out of a household product and was about to go out and get more when the Fedex man dropped off a whole month’s worth of it from Pinecone! Such perfect timing!

    Man … lol when will they want 25 year old females!!! XD

    • Kim

      Sadly, they won’t. I was a member of this panel, and recently turned 25. Then they discontinued my membership because my household was no longer “representative of the population”. How disappointing, I loved Pinecone.

      • Maggie

        discontinued your membership?! wow .. guess I wont be getting into this anytime soon .. who would have thought 25 is to old and to young all at the same time @.@

    I’ve been getting lots of surveys and stuff to try out.. loving it!

    off topic: But did you do the plub district $20 GC deal and not get the GC after gettign 4 or more referrals. This is what they said to me: the rude part is I would get the $10 referral credits for my referral 1st purchase anyways plus the $20 GC. So, what do they mean ā€œthe good news isā€.

    They wronged me!!! I think because Heidi used the FB link it went to the wrong referral part. I rmember them posting something about that AFTER I posted the FB referral link provided by the TARGET refferal deal. Now they are telling me OH WELL, not their problem!! HOW RUDE

    Hi Christie,

    Thank you for contacting us. In order to qualify for the Target GiftCard Plum Reward, you had to refer new subscribers through the Target Deal page. Four of these friends had to confirm their email addresses before 12am March 11th.

    Iā€™ve researched your account for you and found that you referred your fourth friend through our standard referral program and not the through the Target deal. Do you remember going through the ā€œget itā€ checkout process on the deal page? There you would have either had the option to send emails or a link directly to friends. Using the target deal page to send referrals would have signed you up for the promotion.

    We thank you so much for your efforts but I am sorry that you didnā€™t earn the Target GiftCard this time. We are making changes to the way this type of promotion will work so the next time we have a similar offer, there will be less confusion. We take our customer satisfaction very seriously and are doing everything we can to do improve our service. Our sincerest apologies for any frustration you had with the Plum Reward for a Target GiftCard.

    Fortunately, you will earn 10 Plum Dollars when your referrals make their first Plum Deal purchase. You can apply these credits towards future purchases with us.

    Thanks again for your continued loyalty to Plum District. If there is anything more we can do to help you get the most out of our program,
    please let us know.

    Sincerely,
    Heather
    Plum District Customer Loyalty Team
