Today's SR e-mail and Pinecone

**catnapfan** · 11-29-2007, 05:42 PM

Today's e-mail included a link to join Pinecone Research. I was wondering if this is only for SR members or if I could forward it to a friend who doesn't belong to SR. I am already a member of Pinecone and now my friend wants to join, but neither one of us has come across a banner for him to join. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

It's a survey company. They pay $3 a survey, it's pretty cool.

I have actually always made $5 at least on each survey. I have made about $15 in the last six months though because they don't send out that frequent invitations to complete surveys. It is easy money but not something that is going to make you a fortune initially.

I think they dropped it to $3 for new people.

Bryan, they were looking for guys in your age bracket earlier this year, so I'd sign up if I were you.

Yeah, I was disappointed to learn they had dropped it to $3. I had been a member before we moved to Hawaii, but they don't ship to Hawaii, so I never got to participate and they eventually dropped me. I recently was able to sign back up and saw the drop in pay. I have been getting more surveys than I did way back when, though! And, I love that they will send it to my PayPal instead of having to wait for a check to come in the mail.

Oh, and you also get to try out free samples from time to time. They send you a product to try, you try it for a week and fill out a second survey and get paid for it, too! I recently had a product and got $6 total for trying it out.

They are my favorite survery company. The surveys are usually quick and easy. I get a survey every couple of weeks. I signed up way back then and get $5/survey. They deposit right into my paypal accout too a day or two after I complete surveys too.

I am not sure how it tracks -> ie is it a deal b/n SR and Pinecone to get new members or if its a public thing. I'd see if Tricia responds and then forward to your friend if she says its ok.

I think the $3 a survey is fairly recent. For a while they were at $2 a survey and no one was doing them so they went up a $1 for the new members. Not sure if they will ever go back to $5 or not but I'd go a head and sign up now since it doesn't come up very often.
