    Hi all. I too, am desperate to join Pinecone. I have googled and googled and it looks like the only way in is via a website banner, but I just can't find one.

    If anyone has any idea of the best current link \ website to try, and would be kind enough to PM me, I would be extremely grateful.

    Thanks BBTHREE

    Can anybody please tell how i can join?

    Thanks barry
  • I have been a Pinecone member since about September last year and was really pleased with the products I've been sent to test, and the Luncheon Vouchers, until I saw on MSE most people were being paid £4 a time.
    I'm only being paid £3. Does anyone have any theories about this?? (Other than my inferiority complex being realised - my opinion really isn't worth as much as others!):confused:
    I also had an unpleasant encounter in Tesco when I used my last wad of vouchers, where I had been using them quite happily before.....no personal services or MPs were involved........ ;) .
    Any thoughts?


    Hi, not sure if you know this but you are able to be paid your £3 into paypal.......regards the £4/£3...my mus is not happy aswell as i told her i was getting £4 and she is only getting £3...you're not alone!! ;)

    I do not get paid for referring this link but received an email from Pinecone this morning with the following:

    PineCone research is growing and we invite you to help! If you have ever told a friend about receiving £3 for doing surveys for PineCone Research, it is likely that they have asked, "How can I join?"

    Well, now you can tell them how to become part of this elite group of households. We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household.

    Do you know of households that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? If so, please FORWARD A COPY of this email to each household you would like to refer so that they may click on the registration link shown below. That household should complete the registration form themselves and submit it. REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD MAY REGISTER. Multiple registrations of the same Household will void all registrations.

    Here is the link to the registration:

    http://www.pineconeresearch.co.uk/signup/ds10052Referral1.asp

    As a member in good standing, you've already seen the benefits of being part of PineCone Research. So please, share the benefits of membership with a friend. Remember, please don't tell them about any of the products that you have seen in our questionnaires or tried in your home. As you know, it's important that your PineCone Research survey and product testing experiences remain confidential.

    If your referral has any questions, they can e-mail us at scott@pineconeresearch.co.uk.

    While this is not a paid referral program, we genuinely appreciate your help in spreading the word that PINECONE IS GROWING!

    Maybe I'm just a bit sad but I get very excited when my £3 voucher drops through the door. Far as I'm concerned, its money for old rope. I spend a bit of time online anyway so I may as well earn something out of it.

    I'm going to save mine up for a treat/Christmas (bet they wont last that long).

    Better pay than the other survey sites and Toluna - you spend 5 mins filling in your details to be told you have the wrong profile :mad:
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

    Declutterers of the world - unite! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Best way of thinking about this stuff :T

    It's really suspicious with Toluna isn't it, you fill it in with some quite specific details and then half way through, you're rejected!.

    I just been sent a link for a referral. PM me if you want it.

    Also, I've done 2 surveys this month, and been a member since December. Both surveys asked if I agree to being sent the product to test. Does this mean I will be sent them? And how long do payments usually arrive after? Paypal or vouchers?

    Thank you
