I joined through this site (Disboards) almost a year ago...you must have an invitation in order to be able to participate in Pinecone research. During the year I have been with them, only upon one occasion have they asked if I knew of any other families (who fit certain criteria).
Knowing what I do about most Disers, when they sent out this invitation, I would have had no problem asking for "recruits" on this board, but someone had already posted...within minutes lol...so I didn't.
After I received clearance (by applying on a posting from the Budget Board) I have always responded to every survey...and although I have never received any products to test, they have been extremely prompt about sending the $5 checks, within days, not weeks.
For me it has been a steady 2-3 surveys a month...month after month.
