mexpensive33 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 It has been 4 months since I wrote about survey sites getting worse, well I am here to add a few more. It seems Pinecone has fallen off the map as has Paidveiwpoint. I used to get surveys from them all the time but lately it is as quiet as a mouse. Has any one else had the same issue with once great sites drying up ? or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somelady Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I get about 1 survey a week and got household questions yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episemion Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I get a steady stream from Paidviewpoint. Always been that way. Was dropped by Pinecone almost a year ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was dropped by Pinecone almost a year ago now. Paidviewpoint is OK and I get a lot of surveys from them but most of them are .10. The one good thing is most of their surveys are very short. I wonder why Pinecone dropped you. Maybe you no longer had the demographics they are looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get as many surveys from Pinecone as I used to. Maybe a couple a month plus a couple just with household questions. And it has been months since I received any product from them. I always liked that because I would get 3.00 to do the original survey plus another 3.00 for completing the follow up survey I received after I had a chance to try the product.

NFriday Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 If you don't complete your surveys with Pinecone in a timely manner they will dump you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach6 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I am probably down to one a month from Pinecone used to be better before and I haven't had a product test from them in a very long time although I am Not getting products to test from anywhere.

episemion Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I agree on Paidviewpoint. However , the TS surveys ($.10 ones) do add up as do the biz ones. I generally reach cash out 5 times every 2 years there, The reason given by Pinecone for my being dropped was that they were "freshening the panel". That was likely a good part of it as I had been with them 15+ years. However , I also suspect the introduction of their new router system and a change in the screener questions I received contributed as well. The router was not working for me (no help from their "customer service") - finally determined that it was not working with the browser and with a new one , finally got it to work. The screener questions received , starting early in 2017 , were all aimed at either alcoholic beverages (never touch the stuff) or video games (never play them). So those 2 issues , router and screener questions , made it look as if I was not doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfree Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I get 1 and up to 3 surveys per month from Pinecone.I even got a pt to test from them recently.However my daughter is fixing to turn 18 so we will see if I continue to get as many or not.Even though I will say not all the surveys I do for them are geared towards teenagers. Funny I should be writing about them I just now got a household questionnaire to fill out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, I saw a reduction in surveys from quite a few of the sites when my daughter turned 19. They usually ask if there are children "18 and under" in the home. After I had to start answering "NO" things did change for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I should say I do have a 18 year old at home?That would helpful to have another year.I mean she still lives at home so I am supporting her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as she is 18 and you are supporting her, and she lives there, that is what they usually ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I should be writing about them I just now got a household questionnaire to fill out. It's been years since I had kids under 18 in the house. I don't get many surveys that require kids and when I do I just close out the survey.. I think you move on to other surveys after the kids are grown. I'm talking surveys in general not Pinecone, but yesterday I did get a survey from Pinecone about a product that's mostly geared to kids, I qualifies for it even though I said no one under 18 was in the house. Sometimes they ask if you buy products for others kids or grandkids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
