    There are apparently pinecone links but where i don't know , they not have a referral section so noone can help in that capacity.
    They pay fast make sure the day your registered you email them telling them you want paypal money as its default luncheon vouchers. dont forget to give your paypal address too., Good luck in getting in, might not be the most profitable site but they are consistant.

    Just to confirm:
    Pinecone once did referals, they now no longer do. There is a referers board on MSE which could be worth keeping your eye on incase they do referals again, but as far as the MSE rules go, we're not allowed to offer you referals anywhere else but on there.

    foxybabe and hotpot84, if you want to find a link for Pinecone, just google "Annika's". If you can join Pinecone at the moment, they will have a sign-up link for it. Keep an eye on the website, because sign-up links are usually there when they are available.

    I'm really fed up with Lightspeed. Just got a survey and it wanted details of household expenditure for the month - like doing a SOA on here. And guess how many points there were .............. 50.

    So I abandoned it halfway through, wish I'd never started it.

  • I love lightspeed. The surveys are relatively interesting if sometimes a little surreal and i just got £15 of amazon vouchers from them.

    Yougov i have found to be a massive waste of time, they send me the same survey every few months, i always do it and after over a year have accrued ....£3. Considering they don't pay out till you hit £50, it should be a useful top up to my pension. (Im 23 now)

    Valued opinions is even more annoying, they ask me 10-15 questions then tell me i'm not eligible. I think out of several hundred invites I've qualified to complete about 4 surveys.
