I received an email from PineCone Research. They want me to recommend new panel members. I have been doing this for almost ten years they pay $3 per survey and also enter you in a drawing.

If you would like to become a panel member PM me with your email address and I will forward you the email with the link in it. I made at least $300 last year doing surveys with them.

I'm a member too and recently I received the same invitation to invite people. So I sent invites out. Then the people I invited said when they went to the site, they were told they weren't accepting new members. Weird!

I sent all of you who PMed me the message. $3 each might not sound like much but it adds up over the year! And the free products they often send are fun to try knowing that you're one of the first in the nation and will help shape how the product eventually ends up when it's on the store shelves.

I am a member too! I haven't added up what I have made yearly, but last month I know I made at least $21. I am curious...have any of you other ladies ever won any of the drawings? I haven't in all the years I have been doing the surveys!

No never but I won $100 from one of the other ones I a few years back. I can't remember the name but I'll post next time I get a survey from them.

They have to go through the link in the email. The only thing I can think of is that they probably send the same email to many if not all members so maybe enough people signed up before your friends thus they didn't need anyone else.

I've never won from the drawings but I just have them put the $$ in my paypal account and leave it there until Christmas.

Do you have to pay a fee to spend or withdraw it?

No, no charge at all. I just have them transfer it to my bank account. Well, also, once I used the money in my paypal to pay for something I had ordered online. There was no fee for that either.

I joined several months ago and have only been invited to do two surveys at $3 each. At that rate I can't see making $300 a year with it! They must like you and send you lots...I hardly get anything. ~Lisa

I get at least 10-15 surveys a month. I guess it depends on the demographics they're looking for. I've tried out hair products, food, and other beauty supplies too.

I would say I average about 10 a month. Sometimes I get two or three in one day, and then I don't get any for several days. I have also been sent several different products to try!

I have been a member for years...and it seems that the number of surveys I get is going down from them. I used to get a lot, but now that this thread is here and I am thinking about it...I think I haven't done one since October.

I thought PayPal was the only form of payment with PineCone now. I usually just leave the money there and use it for eBay purchases. I recently requested a debit card and will use it to spend the funds. Funds transfer to a checking account takes about 3 days.
$300 a year is not the norm. I just counted and I received 26 surveys last year. I liked PineCone more when the pay was $5 per survey with no sweepstakes. I've never won the sweepstakes with PineCone or MySurvey.
I also went through a dry spell with PineCone. However, the surveys started coming again. Have you tried updating your profile?

MySurvey I think is the one where I won $100.

I am a member. I used to get a lot of surveys but since my kids aren't babies or toddlers anymore, they have gone down. I used to get 3-4 a month and now I get 3-4 a year. It's still better than nothing

Wow...maybe it's time I go in and see what I have in my profile on there. ~Lisa

Pinecone paid $5 when I participated. Even at that rate, I got ....maybe ......6 - 8 yearly. I didn't really find it worthwhile.
