Deal Details
July 1st I received an email from Pinecone Research regarding a New Website and App coming.




We're excited to announce that a brand-new membership experience is coming your way!

Our new website and mobile app are launching soon, designed with you in mind. With improved features, a fresh look, and easier access to everything you need, staying connected with us will be better than ever.

Here's what you can look forward to:

  • A modern, user-friendly design

  • MORE surveys!

  • Real time notifications of new surveys through our new mobile app

  • Opportunity to win $100 every day or our $50,000 giveaway!

  • Fun quizzes and paid games!


The new Website went live on August 4th. Since then I have received over 100 survey emails and have not qualified for any at all. The surveys are either closed or I don't meet the criteria.


I was wondering if anyone here still does Pinecone and if they are having similar problems. Very frustrating.


TIA

Like you, getting a huge amount of surveys but disqualified on all but one $3 one so far. (EDIT: Just went thru 5 more and was able to complete another $3 one. Others were immediate disqualification. Not wasting my time on the lower paying ones) Only pro I see is that the amount is immediately credited to your account.

Cashing out is fairly easy but the one option I have always used is no longer available being PayPal.

Could kinda tell where they were headed a few months back when they started having surveys outside of their site. Did a few and at the end it always said something along the lines they would look over the responses to determine if they wold pay based upon time, answers, etc. Never got paid for any of those so stopped doing them and stuck to the ones I knew would pay. "New" site went live, found some old surveys ($3) that always paid and sorry, disqualified. So not liking the "NEW" site at all.

I also don't like the "new" Pinecone. I will try a survey within minutes of getting the email and it's already full. And do they really expect me to waste 15 minutes for $1? If it's not $3 I just delete it. I remember the "good old days" of $5 surveys and very occasional product tests. I'll wait a few months to see if it gets better but I'm not expecting much.

Thank you both for your responses.


I am glad to know I am not the only one this is happening to. shake head I need to just get one $3 survey to cash out. I hate to leave money on the table. Wink

Same here. I emailed them because 98% of the surveys I click on, also within minutes at times, either are full, or my profile doesn't match... before I answer a single question! I now have one that is closed, but is staying on my dashboard. They used to be my favorite product test site, but I haven't had an actual product test in forever.
