Pinecone surveys

I have been a member of pinecone for about 2 months now, and all I have received are online interviews, which I don't get paid for.

When will I start receiving proper ones?

thanks

    I dont understand this, there are some surveys that you dont get paid for but I usually get paid for at least 1 a month. I,ll never get rich with it but it,s reaaly handy at times. Can you contact them? Log on and raise a query.

    I generally receive around one or two surveys a month, although someone I know receives lots more and also more products to test.

    Sometimes they send a very short survey requesting information about products you use and buy. These aren't paid for but the longer surveys are.

    Been signed up for a year and i've noticed a slow turn over of surveys from them over the last 2 months (same with most survey programs), only had two paid ones over the last few months.

    I get them quite regularly, I guess it all depends if you meet their required profile for the surveys.

    I have been with them for about a year and a half now. To start off with, I got like 1 every fortnight, and then it went to about 3 a fortnight, and now it's down to 1 a month. I do get the quickie questions about 2 to 3 times a month. You don't have to fill these in, it's up to you, but the questions are quite varied and cover various topics. I think they are pre screeners so they know who to pick for forthcoming surveys. I used to get quite a few products to test, but these days, I don't really get any. Anyway, I just think of Pinecone surveys as a super bonus, quick and easy and good money. If I don't get them, I don't bust a gut. You could always email them, but what she will say is you are probably not the person they are looking for for certain surveys. Good luck to everyone and hope you all get loads in the future.

    I have been with them a long long time and have received four or five in the last month.

    It just depends if you are the demographic they want.

    I have been with them about a year and to start with,I received very frequent surveys and products to test too.

    Lately though,they have definitely slowed down,although I did get one yesterday :j They still pay more than any other survey company though,so they are worth sticking with.
