I usually opt for the Amazon Card, I tried for the Virtual Visa card and it's way too much work and subject to forfeiture. I have noticed recently that there are other oddities with PineCone. The invitation for a survey doesn't expire after following the email invitation, but remains "in progress" on your dashboard. Some lasted for a week extra and I came back several times a day, using different browsers & dumping history and cookies each visit. I was able to make an extra gift card in a week, usually it's every 6 weeks with pinecone for me. The next time you're at pinecone and was screened out, go back to the dashboard and check the status of the project, it maybe still active and could connect to another survey.
