I signed up for Pinecone 3 days ago but still no welcome e-mail or surveys.
How long did it take others who have received these things?

I signed up on the 13th. Got the acceptance e-mail with registration info on the 17th. Got my first survey today, the 24th.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

I work for a company where we do demonstrations in stores - like passing out food samples. We have different products from different companies every time. Its not like I work for Coke or Kraft or General Mills.

So, when these Pinecone Research things ask if I work in Marketing or Advertising, I never know how to answer. What's your feeling? Do I or don't I work in Marketing or Advertising?

I work about 20 hours a MONTH if I'm lucky enough to get that much work. Its an early bird gets the worm type of job. First person to grab the job listing gets it - if you even want to do it at all.

I would say no. Like you said you're not working there full time and it's not for a major corporation, such as Hill Holiday. So I think I'd lean towards choosing "No" because of these few reasons.

I would say no, because you are not directly coming up with the marketing or advertising concepts. If anything, I would say you are working in food service.

Its not always just food. It could be HBA, or cleaning products, or small appliances. But I get what you are saying.

Thanks for the replies.

I have always gotten $5 per survey. (Not the screening ones.)

So, do they just automatically send a check or must you request payment? Is there a minimum amount?

Once you finish the survey, you will have your check in the mail within a few days.

There is a PayPal payment option. I do not do that, so I am not exactly certain how that works.

 

[Schachteles]

I was sent a survey like yesterday, went in and I didn't qualify...well I just looked in my e-mail and I have a payment to my PayPal account for $5.00 for doing the survey. Guess you get paid regardless?!? I am no one to complain about $$.

Another question for you Pinecone experts.

I just finished my first real survey and one of the questions was whether I would be willing to try a sample of the product. Is this just a standard question on all surveys Or if I say yes, will they automatically send me a sample?

My experience has been that this is a standard question. I have been doing PC surveys for a couple of years and I have only had a couple of products to try.

I didn't qualify for the survey and received the $5 payment as well. Is everyone starting to get the email about doing video testing? I'm always so worried these things are a scam. I've been a bit nervous about doing the test.

 

[2mickeys1minnie]

Did anyone receive an email today from Pinecone regarding video testing? It included a link to click on to test your computer to see if you can receive certain streaming video?

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

See my post above. Yes, I received the email too and was a little nervous about it.
