    Apart from PayPal the rewards change, it's probably not cost effective to offer paper vouchers anymore. There are various digital gift cards apart from the ecards.

    Thanx I got this impression from the Pinecone website but I'm nervous as to whether they will work, never having used them, and don't want to loose £28 . But with overnight thinking , I will check out the boots website to see about buying soap, toothpaste etc up to a certain amount and allowing for postage. And after that, I will finish with Pinecone.

    I take PayPal or Amazon voucher codes, never had a problem with either - if you take £25 Amazon and spend at least £20 most things are free P&P.

    I've just redeemed an Amazon code, no problem with it. Have done so several times before, very handy. I always add it to my Amazon account immediately I receive the code on my Pinecone page.

    Pinecone are definitely one of the better survey companies.

    I accumulated about £40 but also not sure what to do with the points. I used to get love2shop vouchers. How does the MasterCard work?

    Thanx for reply but I don't want anything from Amazon. I used to buy groceries with the luncheon vouchers and the plastic Sainsburys or tesco cards. Has anybody had experience of using a virtual digital mastercard online please?

    Just been accepted by Pinecone :D Wanted to try them for a while but no direct recruiting made it difficult. Thankfully I found a link earlier in the week and applied, now just waiting for my first survey!
  • I had a whole clutch of pinecone surveys before Xmas, practically one a day in the week before but since December 23rd nothing at all.

    I had been getting at least one a week prior to that.

    I actually emailed them to ask why and got a very standard looking response about it depending on who gives them the work.

    All I can say is if work had dried up to this extent most companies would be out of business.
    Shhhhhhh...

    Just depends on what they have to offer!
    Also they are international company! So we only see a few of their uk based clients!
