Pine Cone Research - How it works?

[Love That Stitch]

Can someone give me a run down of how this works?

I was reading the website and you are assigned surveys, right? How does this work?
Is there a limit to how many you can do? If they are assigned to you how often do they assign them? every day?
How much do you get paid per survey?
How long do they take?
Product testing how does this work?

Any other info would be greatly appreicated!

its $5 per survey and I average 1-2 a month. They send you an email when they have a survey ready for you to do. They usually have prequalifier surveys and then a week later I'll get the $5 survey to fill out. The surveys usually take me 10-15 minutes. I've never had a really long or obnoxious one.

So $10 is about what you can make? How much to cashout?

Pine Cone only sends surveys for which you are qualified. Every omnth or 6 weeks they send out a 5 minute questionaire, for which you are not paid, that gives them an idea of to whom to send surveys, based on your answers. I do sometimes 4 in a month and sometimes 2. Once in a while I get a product trial, but not too often. Pruduct tests pay the same as a survey, you do the first survey for $5, do the product test and then a follow up survey for another $5. I like Pine Cone because they pay the next business day via Pay Pal and the surveys are never long.

The number of surveys you get is determined by your profile and the answers you give for the household surveys. Household surveys only take a few minutes to complete. They are used to determine which paid surveys you qualify for. Once you qualify for a paid survey, you will get an e-mail telling you to complete the survey. Once you do, then you get paid $5 right away. No need to cashout. Either by Paypal or check in mail. I have been with Pinecone since 4/25 and have been paid for 6 surveys and just got my first product to test. I think every survey I have completed has asked if I would be willing to test the product. I don't know how they determine who gets to test a product. It seems fairly random. None of the surveys have taken longer than 20 minutes to complete. I hope this information helps you.

One other thing. It is very important that you do not discuss the products that you are doing surveys on or testing. Pinecone is very strict about this. They will remove your membership if you have violated their confidentialty aggreement.

Hi,

Could you guys post the link? Thanks!

Hi,

Could you guys post the link? Thanks!

In a word, no. Pine Cone only opens for new members once in a while, and then it is either though a banner that can be linked or they will tell the membership that we can invite others. If you look on this board you will see posts where people found the banner and signed up but were not accepted, too. They look for specific demographics. But if you try to join and don;t get in, you can try again as the members do drop out.

I LOVE that I get paid the following business day from them. My pay pal is just for fun money, I let it add up and then I spend it usually on Pug stuff.

Great! Thanks; I'll just keep an eye out! Deb

Deb, I can't promise that my feeble mind will remember, but if I get any "We are looking for members" messages from them, I'll send it to you!

Okay, thanks! I stayed up way too late last night (ignorning my kids) to sign up at the four major sites most of you seem to be working off of--SR, CD, QR, and TT.

Now, do I just start clicking on offers? I'm a little leery, seeing as I am just starting.

I did my first one last night--off CD--a credit report one that paid $12 and a few feathers.

I printed out all the documentation, and it said I would receive a conf. e-mail, which never came. Is that normal or do I need to do it one more time?

I know I have to cancel in the 7 days, and I even tried to visit the site with the Mem. ID it gave me, but it said the number was invalid. Would the credit have appeared in my account by now?

Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to do any more until I see something actually happen!

Thanks! Deb
