Hello,
I am new in Pinecone research and have just found out that they pay you through 'Accor vouchers'. Does anyone know what they are and where you can spend them?

I filled out joining form on saturday 22nd March and had further registration email on 25th march and official welcome to panel email on 27th March and a further email regarding their T&C's on 28th March. Have not yet received any surveys. Hope this helps.

To update on my pinecone progress I had my first full pinecone survey today.

Do not think this breaks their T&C's or the ones on here, as wanted to let others who signed up recently get an idea of possible timescales from sign up to full involvemnet in a survey. Hope this is of interest to other MSE's who have signed up to pinecone research.

i joined last weekend, did my 1st survey at the start of the week & received my luncheon vouchers yesterday! i`ve emailed them though to ask if i can change to the payment via paypal option instead as i think i`d get more benefit through this option.
to be honest i think i`m a member of most of the survey panels mentioned on here, some are better than others though :money:

Also, was just wondering, what IS a luncheon voucher??? Anyone know?

Luncheon vouchers are almost as good as cash as you can use them pretty much anywhere that sells food - including most supermarkets, fast food restaurants, bars etc. There's a list on the back of the voucher book you receive. I always use mine for my weekly shop.

Have you tried using a different browser? I sometimes find sites won't load using Explorer but are fine with Firefox and vice versa. Alternatively it could be your security settings. try changing to the lowest security setting just to visit the site, then change back afterwards.

If that fails try a link from another site. I know http://www.whichsurveys.com has got one on their UK pages at the moment. Failing that, Pm me as I think I might have an old e-mail from them with a link from when they were recruiting last. They don't have a referral program so it'd just be a normal link but may be a different landing page.

I am very interested in earning some income from doing online research. Having clicked 2 links and http://www.whichsurveys.com, I cannot find a way to join the pipecorn. Do anyone have a link which is still valid?
