However when i tried signing in it did not work so I guess im not in. Sadly, anymore that's not that big of a loss. Surveys from them are few & far between and only $3 each. At least that's my current experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariners Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I was directed to a banner for Pinecone last week so quickly filled in my details, yet surprise surprise I have not heard a thing. This is the second time I've tried. What do I have to do? I can't believe they actually have any members as all you read, mainly, is people wanting banners or being turned down. You did not get an email from them the next day for more details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's my current experience with them. But are they always three dollars and easy to qualify for? Whats minimum payment? They are always $3, yes. BUT they used to always be $5. It's not a matter of qualifying for; if they send you a survey invitation (which as I said they are few and far between anymore) you take the survey & get paid for it. I used to get a LOT more surveys from them, even when the pay was $5. Now I rarely get them, and lots of times they send invites for "household questions" they have (which, in effect, is a survey) and you get nothing for that but a lame sweepstakes entry. They just aren't the company they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariners Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I see, but since I hardly get any surveys from any companies and usually go for sweeps this is like a chance of pace. If they send u an email a day after u sign up for more info does that mean your in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyfish Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's been a while since I signed up, but I think if you hear from them that's a good sign. Didn't the email indicate whether you were accepted or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellyfish Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I wish I could be more help but I honestly I don't remember exactly what happened when I signed up. I would assume since you got that from them, you are well on your way to becoming a member of their panel. I don't think you'd hear from them otherwise.

kell-b Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Mariner No, I got nothing from them the next day. I did follow it up a few weeks later by sending them an email and got a very snotty reply. It basically said, reading between the lines, that I should know I'm not accepted as I've not had anything to say otherwise and I'm stupid for emailing them. Surprise surprise I've not heard anything from them after trying to sign up again last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellyfish Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Still no reply from them. Honestly, you may not until they have a survey opportunity available for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariners Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 It said on the email that I would have a welcome email once this is accepted and processed. Have not gotten that in 4 days time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyfish Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I think they are in the running for one of my LEAST favorite survey panels now. Just got an email from them with a survey invite - an admittedly LONG survey at that - "This questionnaire is somewhat longer than our typical survey so feel free exit the questionnaire by closing your browser and come back to it as needed. The survey will pick up where you left off when you re-access the questionnaire. " YET, this will be my compensation: "For this survey, we are offering a sweepstakes with the chance to win one of ten $100 cash prizes or one $1,000 cash prize in the drawing. " Pathetic. I am thoroughly disgusted with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupid9936 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I haven't had any surveys from Pinecone for 6 months or so now. Wonder what is going on. I used to get 3 or 4 every month?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
