What is Pinecone Research?
Your opinion might not matter to some people, but it certainly matters to Pinecone Research.
Pinecone Research helps companies collect consumer inputs, so they can develop better products. Just by stating your honest opinion, you have the voice to influence the products that they will manufacture, and you get paid for it!
How do I get started?
You might wonder, when you navigate through their website, why there is no “sign up” button. It’s because they recruit members via banner ads that you will encounter on different websites, so you can’t actually join if you don’t come across those ads.
How do I get paid?
Every questionnaire lasts up to 15 to 20 minutes, and the points will be credited to your account 3-5 business days following the completion of the product evaluation survey. Your initial 300 points will automatically be redeemed for a check and will be sent to your address, but that’s only to establish your profile. The next time you cash out, you can then use other options like PayPal, a virtual visa card, or choose an item on their rewards site. The minimum withdrawal is $3.
What are the rules?
When a survey is available, they notify you through email. Unlike other online survey websites, you can’t just ignore it if you don’t feel like answering it, because your account might get terminated. You actually have to let them know of the days that you will be unavailable, so they can suspend your surveys. Moreover, only one account per household is allowed.
Is Pinecone Research worth my time?
Just like other websites that pay you for your opinion, it won’t make you rich, and it will only give you a few bucks, but it gives you rewards for your time and that’s good enough.
