Thank you for your email. Unfortunately under our new system invites are generic and cannot contain this specific data. As a benefit of this system, this will always ensure there is a survey available for you to complete.
In order to compensate for this, we have introduced an introductory page on the first page of surveys which contains the information regarding incentive. With prize draw surveys, you should also receive a different email invite indicating that it is a prize draw survey rather than a paid survey.

Should you have any further queries, please check our FAQ section in the first instance as the answers to many queries can be found there.

I have been a member of Pinecone for some time and have received £4 for each survey completed but nothing extra for testing and reporting back on a sample.
I have just been told by another person that they receive the £4 for the survey, then a further £4 if they receive a sample to test and complete the questionnaire. Also a further £4 if they have to return the test sample.
I would be interested to hear what payments other members receive as I find it odd that they have different payments for members.

When I did one, I didn't get paid to get it, but did get the £4 to report back on it. This was about 6 months ago.

The couple I've done I got paid for the initial survey, then the post test survey but have kept the test item so don't know about payment for returning things.

well with the postal strike the delivery of the test samples might take a while.

Hello y'all
Relatively newbie lurker here. Gradually pushing open the door of the debt closet............My SOA is still scaring me!
Just to say I got an invite to join Pinecone yesterday - YAAAYYYYY. Don't know how I did it. All I can think is that I was on their site looking for a sign up link, but couldn't find me, so maybe I've been 'headhunted' - lol.

Just checked my balance and find I am now due for a £50 payout. Nice just before Christmas.

Same here, £4 for the survey and £4 for testing. Never had to return anything so dont know about that. My dad does pinecone as well and he's always got 2 x £4.

I cannot work out how to do that at all on the new site - where do I look?

Log in. Go to My Details (in blue, right-hand side).

Then click 'My Points', along the top.

Good luck
