    Yes that's my thinking too. Had one yesterday offering 75 points for 15 mins. No chance I am even opening it

    I suddenly got an invite to an old-style survey today, worth 300 points and same format that they always used. I completed it with no problems and have qualified for a product test. It's too soon to say things are improving overall, but I thought it was interesting that companies are still commissioning them for the market research they always did.

    There are a few possible original surveys hidden amongst the rubbish ones. I just had a 15 mins survey for 100 points that screened me out after 10 questions

    I logged into my Pinecone profile last night and there were a few of the old 300 point surveys sitting there along with some of the rubbish ones. I was able to complete a couple of the 300 point ones and others said I wasn't eligible. I'm not sure what is going on with the site at all as it's a mess, but if anyone is short for getting a payout, it might be worth looking in your profile in case you have the same surveys sitting there.

    I was getting emails for surveys taking 15 mins for £1, finally got an old style £3 for 12 mins to take me over £10 to redeem and wave them goodbye - Shame as they used to be one of the 3 sites worth doing (now down to 1)

    I recently managed to get to payout, took it and immediately closed my account. Sad to do so after so mamy years but its no longer a worthwhile site (at least for me)

    I've been stuck at 920 for over a month. I may take anything just to release that final £10 and leave.
