Pinecone Research

I signed up for Pinecone Research during the last flurry of invites. Apart from the first "study" the rest all seem to have been on hair products. Has anyone else found they get sent very similar studies?

    Hey there E_Lass, I've had two or three on chocolates yum and yes some on hair colour, then I had 1 on washing powders and another on room freshners I think I've been lucky as I've had about 6 in total since signing up in the last batch of people I don't know if it has anything to do with demographics or number of people in the house etc or maybe I just say what they wanna hear lol

    My experience has been similar to TaBunny's. With the washing powder one they sent me a sample to try. The sample was a box of 24 tablets. ;D

  • Box of tablets, yes I could use them, or even some of the shampoo they keep asking me about ;D

    What worries me when I get similar ones is am I saying exactly the same as the last time or worse am I saying something totally different when they ask me what shampoo I have bought in the last three months :o
  • I had the biscuit to try as well and have had surveys on the washing tablets, choccies, shampoo and a few others.

    :( LVs only for me so far. But the most recent survey was for adolescents. Called my son to do it. Hysterical - took all of a minute to do, because I think it was about periods! Still got the LVs!

    i keep telling them i would love to try a sample. but nothing yet. just got my vouchers through though :)
  • i've had loads of surveys off pincone which is great because they only take a few minutes of your time
    also so far i've also been sent washing powder, coffee, mini ** Brand name edited by Abuse Controller ** (never did see those in the shops!) and a ** Brand name edited by Abuse Controller ** duster, the one with the reusable fluffy bits, so i've done quite well in the few months i've been with them  ;D

    I've been doing the Pinecone surveys for two years and have received about £160 worth of vouchers plus samples of biscuits, hair conditioner (large bottle) and 24 tablets of washing conditioner. :D
    Born to shop;)
