Just did one yesterday and paid out the same day.

It's not the cash cow it used to be. Pinecone is on its way down, yet it's better than nothing.

I'm sorry you're finding that. I've had several surveys this year - in fact looking at my records compared to this time last year I've almost doubled.
I am sorry that they've changed the redemption company though - I liked being able to withdraw all of my money all at once and now I can either take a smaller PayPal payment and leave some money in til next time, or wait and save up for a larger one. That's a bit irritating.

How do you cash out the points? MasterCard or electronic e vouchers?
If MasterCard only valid for a month, surely e vouchers last longer?

This was one of my concerns, but it turns out the info on this on the Pinecone site appears to be incorrect. As once you have gone through the registration following the link, the virtual MasterCard lasts for nearly a year. I'm glad I preserved with it. But played safe by having it on amazon (as many seem to do) rather than risking using it over the phone to buy say vitamins .

It doesn't seem to be open to people from Northern Ireland. :mad:

I've had nothing since June, but did get a couple of we miss you emails - so I have emailed them to see if they can reactivate me. I liked those regular £3.

I've had no pinecone surveys since last December ( when I had a flurry before they stopped completely) however I have seen several of their surveys on the nectar points surveys site. If there's ever a sign of a company going down the toilet...

I've had a few since December.

Your probably not in the current demographic they are looking for.
Or your details have been taken off the active list.

Have your contacted them to ask them why you've not been getting surveys?!?

Yes a couple of months ago I got a cut and paste response which said it was subject to their clients requirements, I wonder if their clients know they're are putting their surveys on the Nectar site?

If it reaches the demographic they want then it makes no difference, lots of sites do it and the surveys usually pay less as the host site takes a cut as well.

Anyone been able to log in to Pinecone's website today?

Wanted to cash out some points but can't log in.
