    I have been doing this challenge for a few months now and have never got close to my target. However (I hope this is not cheating) I just won £81.72 :j bringing my total to

    £179.72/£150 :j:j

    I am really pleased. I know I didn't technically earn it but it came from doing something that I wouldn't have done without this thread. :D

    well done starnac! I check it everyday and feel sorry for those who don't spot their postcode and it rolls over.

    but today am glad they didn't, because you won more ! :T:T

    Yes pinecone do surveys - they pay in £3 paypal or luncheon vouchers. I take luncheon vouchers as accepted in so many places and when money is tight, helps with food shopping.

    saying that haven't done the 2/3 I have been sent lately :(

    Careful Aesop - if you don't do too many in a row they think you don't want to do it and take you off the panel :(

    anyone after a new handset and want to go with 02?

    just had a great chat with someone who offered me £50 credit to my bill and a free 2g memory card, if I took out the phone there and then!

    so worth getting onto chat and talking to someone, and see what they offer you. He offered me £40 credit first, and told him I could get £60 through cashback, which I can, but then he upped the stakes.

    Thanks Aesop. I check it everyday too and feel sorry for those who miss. But not this time! DH told me that it was very nice of me to wait for a few rollovers before winning it!:rotfl:

    Do I need to be referred to pincone?

    We don't get paid for referrals, and sometimes Pinecone will email us to say they are looking for new people and to forward the email to anyone who is interested.

    otherwise you need to look for the banners where they are recruiting.

    Will have a look for you.

    Just seen this on Pinecone website

    Important Security Notice:


    We have been made aware that third parties may be attempting to use the names and logos of Pinecone Research "mystery shopping" assignments. Essentially, the victim is provided a fake check and advised to cash it, and then use some of the proceeds to test a service (for example, testing a Western Union wire transfer). The victim is advised that he or she may retain the balance from the cashed check as payment, however, the check later bounces.

    Please be aware that Pinecone Research has no involvement in these fraudulent transactions. Participating in our surveys is always free of charge, and we never ask our panelists to cash a check for a large amount and then use the proceeds to “test” a service.

    Concerned individuals should report any information regarding these activities to local law enforcement agencies, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) "econsumer.gov" reporting system (https://econsumer.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/) in the United States or the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre (http://www.phonebusters.com/) in Canada.
