    Ooopps :o:o:o silly me. I don't often pay attention. My PMP bonus is about £43 so I've no obsession with increasing it. Even a stackpot win would make me very happy.:D

    I suppose you can't blame them for trying to maximise the return but if I got routed to a Pinecone survey through SB I'd close it without a second thought.

    Hopefully they'll stick at £3 I think it's a fair return for the time the surveys take. I'm much more inclined to give a bit more effort on Pinecone, Prolific and the likes as it feels closer to a fair deal for both sides.

    Given I've had one survey from Pinecone directly, having anything outside I deem as a bonus!

    If I am lucky I get 6 a year but getting paid 18p instead of £3 is a not a bonus, even it it was not offered directly I would rather get nothing then spend the time for 18p (every one that is completed for 18p is one they do not have to offer £3 or £4 for.)

    Have you got the survey frequency set to 'No limit' in your profile?

    I used to change mine between 'No limit' and '1 a day' when I hadn't had a survey in a while. I usually got an invite within a week of the change. Probably coincidence but it got me £3 so I was happy in my little world :o

    Totally agree. I know it's good business on their part but I try to value my time and effort a little more these days.

  • I transferred £69 of points into a prepaid credit card, a few weeks ago to buy a camera but changed my mind. I wanted to access this virtual credit card and it has disappeared. I have tried emailing pinecone, ppds as well but noone is replying.

    Has anybody has issues with not being able to log in... account not found, when definitely using the correct credentials and immediately after completing a survey?
  • I've been doing Pinecone for years with no problems. But, in the last 6 months, I've noticed there are very few invitations and then a disqualification.
    I think the reason for this is that Pinecone are putting the surveys on other sites where the member is only paid 50p, £1 etc. I've seen it quite a few times.
    I understand why because they must be saving a lot of money. Just a shame for us.

    And I thought it was just me, they're obviously ripping people off. They never replied to my emails either.

    This is such a shame about Pinecone, it used to be one of the best for surveys.
