    Pinecone don't like their banners being posted on other forums either.

    Have Pincone gone very erratic?

    When I first joined-about 9 months ago, I had a survey about every 3 to 4 weeks without fail. Also in the early days, had 4 tins of beans, huge tube of night cream and 2 air fresheners. Since about November I've only had one survey and no freebies?????

    Hi all,

    We've been contacted by a representative of Pinecone research to ask us to remind everyone that the research they conduct on behalf on other companies is strictly confidential, as i believe the T&Cs in the signup specify.

    Thus, can we not post any reference to brand names or specific products, nor opinions thereof, on this forum.

    Thanks

    can I just refer everyone to the above quote,

    The LVs that the members get. Do you have to buy a meal with them or can you use them for your weekly shop?
  • This may sound like a daft question... what do you do with lunch vouchers?? :confused:

    Got my first book today and was wondering whether there were any restrictions on how you use them, ie. what constitutes a 'bona fide meal' (as they put it) or is anybody actually fussy about what you spend them on.
    If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor...

    I use mine as part payment for groceries in supermarkets and they are accepted. You can use more than one book at a time too. I had lots of surveys towards the end of last year, so I saved them all up for Christmas food shopping :D

    They won't go through Tesco's self service but can be used via normal tills :)

    I made this mistake but if you speak to the person over-seeing the self-service they will come and take it off for you .

    In case you forget and use self-service:)
