First Survey Company I Joined

Pinecone Research is the very first survey company that I joined almost a year ago and I fell in love with it.
They send a survey link to your email when they have surveys that matches with your profile. This is one of many survey sites that has open enrollment every so often so you might not be able to get in right away but this one is worth the wait.

Once you are accepted, you have to answer questions about your household and this is how they will pick surveys for you. Like all survey companies, one person per household can have an account so make sure no one else has one or you both will be deleted. Also it is very important to be honest when answering these surveys. If they find that you are lying or not taking them seriously, you will also get deleted.

Now when you complete a survey, you are rewarded points that you can use on anything. I haven't used my points on anything but cash sent directly to my paypal, which usually takes 3-4 days or longer but I never had to wait longer than 3-4 days. Sometimes I try to rack up points for $10 and up but I just cashed out 500 points last week for $5. Since I have been a member, I have cashed out $60. Not bad for about a year and about 30 surveys.

Now the fun part....the free products! Once in awhile, you will get a survey where they want you to test a product. They will collect your address and send it out to you for no cost. Then in a few weeks, you will get an email wanting you to give your opinion about the product. I have received food, household, and personal care products that are full size so that you actually get to use for awhile. I really don't know what I love more: getting paid for my opinions or getting to test free product.

You will not see this company advertising on any website and I even contacted them myself to see if I could use photos from their site for this blog but they did not want me to use any or to post their link so I will not because I love this company and I don't want to lose my position as a panelist. There are plenty of bad reviews about this company due to another company doing business under the same name. This company will never contact you unless they are sending you a link for a survey or they are letting you know about receiving a credit on a survey that you took. I do recommend checking this company out and see if you can join. Believe me, you won't regret it!

Well there you have it. This is my first of many reviews on survey companies so make sure that you check back for more and sign up for email alerts.
