Default Pinecone survey site

I'm new to this so I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this message . A couple of months ago I registered with the survey site http://www.pineconeresearch.co.uk which pays 4 pounds in luncheon vouchers for each online survey completed. LV can be used for money off at tescos and waitrose . At the moment I complete a survey about every six weeks and receive my vouchers by mail within a couple of days of the survey completion. You may also be selected to receive new products to test.

Pinecone is excellent, i've had lots of surveys too but only one product to test. Can recommend it very highly, you normally get the lvs in even before you complete the survey

LVs are also accepted in Asda, Iceland and lots of restaurants and cafes

Yeah I applied for Pinecone and did my first survey- they did pay me the £4, but I never heard anything again- I emailed them, and apparantly I cant be on the research panel as Im not the primary grocery shopper... Wish i'd know that before I filled out the survey! x

There is a live sign up link on the referrers board. I posted it on Grab it but it got moved because it had a referral link on it. ( it wasn't mine)

Do you get to keep the products you test? What products did you test?

One of the things you have to agree to when you sign up with Pinecone is that you don't disclose any information about any of the products that you are lucky enough to test!

Pinecone Research have read this forum before and issued warnings about people breaching their terms and conditions by discussing the items they tested.

You don't get to keep them anyway.

There was a previous thread a while back that discussed this.

See here: MSE-Pinecone

I hope I'm not breaching their T&Cs by saying this (pls delete if I am!), so I'll try to be as vague as possible... I was under the impression that it might be possible to test products that are erm... edible? So you kinda have to keep them in your tummy...

Hi All

A little off the subject but i received a book of the vouchers and wondering if you can only use one voucher at a time? Or can you use as many as you have got? And can you use them off a normal shop? Or does it have to be certain items?

Thanks In Advance

Hi Helen
You can use them all at once. Tesco's and most supermarkets accept them too.
