    I used to get LV but I always got stressed out that they would get lost in the post, so it's PP for me for now.

    Never heard of PC points though. Might have to look it up.

    Pinecone Points, that doesn't sound good

    I would say they might move people from paying out the £3 within a couple days of completing a survey to paying into a pot where you can only get at your money once you hit a certain amount (say £20). They will dress it up in saying you have access to a wider range of rewards in the form of gift-vouchers and quietly drop the paypal option.

    Afterall, £3 via paypal probably costs them just over £3, whereas a £10 gift-voucher might only cost them £9 depending on the deal they get with the retailers.

    Cash via Paypal beats gift-vouchers any-day [unless you get a bonus for gift-vouchers]

    I am quite a newbie to Pinecone as joined about three months ago. I started with Luncheon vouchers and emailed them requesting to change to PayPal. They then emailed me a link to set it up to PayPal. Hopefully they are not moving to points which you have to accumulate as I like getting the cash :j
