    Me neither!

    Does anyone know how long it takes for the Paypal payment to be processed? I went through the 'checkout' process yesterday afternoon and haven't been paid yet...

    Edit: scrap that - just been paid!

    It depends on your demographic. I'm lucky to get one every 3 months at the moment whereas my mum (presumably because they have less panellists in her age range) gets them a lot more regularly.

    Has anyone else been asked to join an 'exclusive' panel for Pinecone? I've had an email today. Apparently you have to agree to them installing a programme on your computer so that they can monitor your activity and use the data for their research.

    I avoid these sort of surveys, the pay-out is so rubbish compared to the data they collect.

    I did this a couple of days ago and downloaded the program to my computer- i then spent two days having horrendous problems with speeds so slow it was like being back on dial up. :mad:

    Removed the program and everything fine.
