    They pay £3 a survey and if you have opted for PayPal & not Luncheon Vouchers, they send you an email to say it has been paid to your PayPal account automatically at present, you don't have to do anything! (You get the whole £3 nothing is taken as fees!).

    I will stick to my routine payouts per survey, if you look to accumulate and the site were to shut down all your monies would be lost, so I prefer to claim or have payouts as they are available.

    i am paid £4 for each survey :-) as i must have joined before you .. so essentially i will be paid £4 in my paypal directly after every completed survey .. thanks

    Yes members payouts changed quite some time ago (at least a 14 months ago) and new members get/will get £3 per survey!

    Sorry (need to put my smiley-typing.gif) I am guessing you joined them sometime pre 2012. Bonus for you getting £4 a shot. Newer members are now on £3.

    There's no commission or fees on recieving paypal from pinecone, nor these days any fee for withdrawing the money to your bank account.

    Oh really? How does that work then? I thought the receiver always had to pay fees with PayPal? I always have in the past.

    I honestly don't know - my understanding extends as far as when I get payments from Pinecone its fee free, along with most other survey sites (there are still odd ones which i get charged a fee for recieving but pinecone aren't one of them).
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    One survey site I use always deducts a few pence prior to paying payment to my PayPal, admin (their fee I guess), but none of the others do including Pinecone.

    I forgot all about pinecone. I used to do it about 6 years ago but when my lap top broke I missed a few invites and they un list you. Think you can only register via a recommendation, well in the olden days that was the case.
    I used to get the £4 luncheon vouchers, they were great for picking up a bit of lunch at work or putting towards the food shop.

    Got to try lots of products too.

    Used to do Ciao to but that dried up also.

    Just do buzz agent now but that's not as frequent.

    Lots of great opportunities to earn out there, it's just finding the time I guess.
