HURRY – Spots Fill Up FAST! 🔥

Did you know that PineCone Research pays you $3 for every survey you complete… and they won’t send you any surveys that you don’t qualify for? If you’re interested in earning a little extra spending cash or enjoy testing new products, apply to become a PineCone Research panelist where they’ve opened up a limited number of spots! These spots always fill up fast, so you’ll need to be quick!

Pinecone Research

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. Awesome!

Positive Comments from Hip2Save readers…

I’ve been a member of PineCone Research since February and since then I’ve been able to cash out about $30 worth of surveys at $3 per survey. I definitely recommend signing up and trying to qualify every time because the surveys are fun to do, not very long, you have the potential for product testing, and every survey is at least $3 each AND you can cash them out as soon as the points get deposited in your account (you can choose gift cards, products, checks, or Paypal and 300 points = $3).

Love this company. I have been doing this for about 18 months and have made approximately $250 and have tested several items. Surveys are super easy and don’t require a lot of time!

I enjoy PineCone Research and have been making about $12 a month with them (4 surveys, 20-30 minutes each). Much better than most survey sites! No pre-qualification/rejection dance, If they send you a survey, you get fill it out and paid.

If you’re a current panelist, feel free to share your thoughts!

    I’ve made about $60 from Pinecone in the last 6 months and had the opportunity to try several products! It’s a good way to kill downtime in the office!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      How cool! Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Good to know how successful it has been for you!

  2. NJD

    It said I didn’t qualify to join at this time, after I entered all my information!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Bummer! πŸ™ Maybe next time!

  3. A

    I didn’t qualify either πŸ™

  4. T

    I love pinecone! Been with it a few years. I have cashed out stuff and still have over $300 in my account!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Wow! That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for the feedback!

  5. Julia

    Amazon mechanical trunk and swagbucks are awesome too!!!

    • mkpassey

      Do you think Amazon mechanical turk is worth your time? I just quickly looked at it but it seemed most thing are less than ten cents?

  6. Catie

    I have been with Pinecone Research several years and really like them. You always qualify for surveys they send you, and payout is fast.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for the great review Catie!

  7. Lisa

    I must not have qualified either. I couldn’t log back in after it kicked me out.

  8. Vickie

    Is this money you earn something you have to claim on taxes?? Just wondering….

    • Brian

      You dont make enough to claim. I made $200 this year and that is doing pretty good. I dont it, not that I am a tax guru πŸ€“

    • stephanie

      In general, I think the rule is more than $600 of any miscellaneous income (combined from yard sales, all survey companies, any consultant gigs, etc.) is supposed to be reported and thus you would owe taxes.

  9. JES

    I signed up with Pinecone almost a year ago, they sent me stuff about twice a week and then around Thanksgiving, they stopped send me anything. Not sure why.

    • Mary

      I used to get a lot of surveys from them too but they stopped coming after I turned fifty. I guess I dropped out of the demographics they were looking for.

  10. Bee

    It had me make a password and fill out a survey about our household.Does that mean I was accepted? lol

  11. sa

    Was finally able to join. I am excited. I have been trying to join for the last couple of years and I never qualified until today. 2017 is going to be good.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay! Happy you were able to join! Congrats!

  12. Jessica

    I’ve made $100+ so far! I love pinecone!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet! πŸ˜€

        Me too!!! Lol
        Thank you! Every little bit helps.

  13. Sue

    My mom & I both used to get surveys from them all the time. Then all of a sudden they stopped. We tried signing up again, but we never qualify. Even my husband didn’t qualify. I’ve heard every once in awhile they go through & clear out panelists that don’t fit their demographic.

  14. Jenn

    I have been trying to join for almost 1.5 yrs! I wish I was considered:( I do e-polls and I-say. Keep getting rejected…but will keep attempting!

    • Brittany

      Someone once mentioned that it can also have to do with your location

  15. Kim

    I got accepted! Thanks!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Congrats! You’re welcome Kim!

  16. Susi

    I have been with pinecone four years now. And while I get surveys regularly, i have never received a product to test. Still worth s few minutes of my time a week

  17. Frances

    I love love Pinecone!! I’ve been a member for a few years now and love this company. So awesome to be able to cash out or get gift cards just for sharing your opinion!

  18. Danae

    This is a great company! No more surveys you spend 10 on to only find out you don’t qualify and get nothing. If you don’t get accepted keep trying! Your age and location for sure matter so if you get the opportunity to try to qualify again after a Birthday that could be all you need (what happened for me last year!).

  19. Debbie

    Thank you for posting this Collin. I don’t qualify and think it has to do with my age; but that is not a big surprise, nobody wants to employ us oldsters (going to be the big 60 this year). That is why your deal site is so helpful to me, Collin. Thank you for all the deals you post!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sorry to hear you did not qualify this time Debbie! But super glad you have been able to score many of the deals on the site. You’re SO welcome! πŸ˜‰

  20. joni

    it always says i dont qualify all i put was my address guess they dont like female new yawkers

  21. Stevie

    Is this still active? The link isn’t working for me.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Bummer! It appears this has ended πŸ™
