PineCone Research

[whamfanuk]

looking for new members, not often they are so get in quick, they pay each survey in £4 luncheon vouchers


https://www1.pineconeresearch.co.uk/Signup/Signup_Form_UK.asp

[SuzyWoo]

I would recommend this. You don't get things that often, but they are really interesting surveys and product tests. And the Luncheon Vouchers are always useful.

[chrisnfliss]

Just a tip, it may be worth copy and pasting the link in your browser so that all traffic isn't traced back to here, they get a bit annoyed when the link is posted on forums.
Wouldn't like to see anyone dropped because of this.

We'll just have to keep watching the adverts on here in case it appears again.

theyve got to have registered with google first and from the sounds of it advertising will be later in year - eyes pealed though

[Zoe]

They've just emailed me asking for new member referals, if you want to join send me a pm including your email addy and I'll forward the email

Said they are looking for families with a child 0-3.5, btw I don't get anything from this, as the email states if anyone wants to see it.

[zoot]

they are looking for people with children under the age of 3 and a half at the moment.

[clareo122]

thanks zoe for the refferal

[caitlinsmummy]

Thanks for the referral Zoe! xx
Just tried to rep you but have to spread it around first lol xx

[vippymini]

Thanks hun xx

[missangelicus]

could someone refer me please? :) i have a little girl whos 2. eva xx

[Gizmos]

Eva
Your best PMing one of the people who has received the email incase you miss out

[pookienoodle]

Just a little post to let any longstanding members of pinecone research know that you can now be payed into paypal instead of luncheon vouchers.
just log in and it should give you a link on your info page.
cheers pookie.

[kaydee]

Thanks for the referal have .

[NinaB]

Been accepted! Thanks again Zoe.

[ConfusedShopper]

Hi All:)

I am wondering if anybody who does the surveys for PineCone research ever gets asked for referalls?

My Daughter and I would love to be referred - every extra penny counts.

Could I ask you kindly to PM me if you have a link?

Cheers:tea:

[Gizmos]

They were asking for people with children under 2 the other day. If your daughter fits this criteria I'll try and dig out the email......;)

i think we have datadaphobia (the fear of not having a spreadsheet for everything ):eek:

[pogoparadise]

Pinecone want to recruit mums with kids under 31/2 years of age, if you would like an invite please pm me. I will not gain anything from this.

Will be in Amsterdam Fri 17 - Sun 19 Aug so I maynot be able to reply until monday

[caitlinsmummy]

I have had the same email as pogoparadise so I am also available if anyone wants referring to Pinecone Research (I think this is the only way you become a member??) xx

[GemLou]

I have had the same email as pogoparadise so I am also available if anyone wants referring to Pinecone Research (I think this is the only way you become a member??) xx

Me too and as we are all different members it won't be so conspicuous IYSWIM. pm me and I will pass you the referral link. The £4 luncheon vouchers can come in handy - have used my 2 so far in boots and somerfield and just done my third survey (they don't take too long and so far 1 per month).

regards GemLou:)

[Gizmos]

I had same email as well and can confirm that nobody gets anything for providing a referral to Pinecone.

[angel,dust]

Dear Panellist,

PineCone Research is ready to expand and we need your help.

We have immediate openings for MUMS OF BABIES 3 1/2 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER.

Do you know of households that meet this description that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD MAY REGISTER. Multiple registrations of the same Household will void all registrations.

I get nothing for doing this
pm me if you would like to join

[whamfanuk]

my best trial was a keg of heineken to trial and got £8 in luncheon vouchers for my trouble

[Gizmos]

that sounds a good one - presume it was a real hardship for you to do the testing :)

[whamfanuk]

[oliveoyl]

There's a sign up link on this site

had to remove link as Pinecone do not like links being populated about

[oliveoyl]

Oh, sorry about that Gizmos. I thought with it being a link to a site with various survey sign ups, not a direct link to Pinecone, it would be ok.

[Gizmos]

we thought that as well in the past but have been told by more than one member on here that it's not a good idea - shame really

[srushsa]

GPalm currently have a link....hope that's OK to post mod? x

[torianut]

I was referred as a mum of a child under 2 but only had one survey so far and had nothing at all to do with kids!!! Got my £4 vouchers - do you have to buy certain items in boots and tesco with these or do they accept them for anything?

Thanks again pogo for the referral xx

[Gizmos]

I used a couple of books at once in Tesco the other month with lots of "harumphing" form the SA

[tyroleandancer]

I asked a supervisor and she said unlike mocs I can use the pinecone vouchers to pay for all my shopping as they are classed as giftvouchers

yw, you can spend them almost everywhere, I spent some of mine at starbucks while waiting for a flight at Luton

[tiger]

DH & I used some in Morrisons cafe one day and they had to go to the office to ask if it was OK. When the girl came back she said it was OK, but normally people use them to pay for their shopping rather than meals.

[Gizmos]

OK then my "couple" of books was actually more like eight and I used them off an item that was going to cost me £120 that I really wanted and couldnt afford otherwise - plus I had a 2 x £7 off £50 spend and a triple points coupon :D

[CharleneUK]

I just had a survey about dentures, but don't wear any, so didn't need to go through.

Will I still receive payment or no?

[Gizmos]

I think I've only answered the preliminary questions before and still had a payout but not 100% sure

It is just to see whether you qualify next survey, I have never been paid for them. Heres a quote:


PineCone members are not compensated for the household questions (requests ending in 3001) that you may be asked to complete. Your responses to these brief 2-5 minute questionnaires enable us to send you product evaluations, which are paid, that are more specific to your household.

HTH

[torianut]

Thanks for all the replies - have repped you all (those it let me!) will wait until I have more then and buy something worthwhile xx

[CharleneUK]

Aaaah I see! Thank you both for replying :)

[oliveoyl]

If you get some screens up after doing a survey, after the normal screens that ask you if you'd participate in product testing, that then go on to give you further product information and contact names and numbers etc. for the manufacturers, does that mean you've been selected to do a product test... ?I've never had that before, nor have I had a product test.

How exciting... I might be a guinea pig :shocked:

[Gizmos]

not had that either - remember you are not allowed to disclose the products you have reviewed

[oliveoyl]

Don't worry, I won't... they're too good to stuff it up and get kicked off from.

[dogfish]

Hi - I'm a lurking newbie trying to save enough to stay home with my two-year old. Having exhausted myself trying to work out the Tesco deals I wondered if anyone could add me to their referral list for pinecone please? Thanks!

[pogoparadise]

As anyone had the video testing email? if so could they get it to work?

[tiger]

As anyone had the video testing email? if so could they get it to work?

I couldn't but it didn't stop them sending me surveys.

[pogoparadise]

Thanks, they send them to me still as well. I was hoping to get more surveys, its a nice little earner lol

Does not work that way with them, you have to find an illusive advert and apply to them, adverts are only up for a few days now and again.

[hometemp]

You should find an advert that is still open here:

This link took me to a dodgy looking page - or am I just paranoid .

[Freebird]

I thought that too - didn't go any further...

[tiger]

I've removed the link. I'm not sure if we are allowed to have pinecone links on here and also don't want anyone to click on anything that may be dodgy.

[Maldives]

I got the video link survey and got it working..... after several attempts to download some software...

[glorious]

when someone spots the ad for pinecone please could you tell me where it is id love to join

[hometemp]

Sorry...... didn't realise you couldn't post links. It wasn't dodgy I've joined up through them and not had any problems.

[tiger]

It's OK hometemp. You were only trying to be helpful. It's just that other peoople have said that Pinecone aren't happy about links being posted, so I just thought better safe than sorry. :)

[pogoparadise]

I have my first home test, I got a LV for the completing survey, was wondering if anyone new if i'd get anything when I do follow on survey?

[Zoe]

Yes you do - you get a further £4 LV book for the follow ups

[bluetimone97]

How often do you get surveys from them?

[pogoparadise]

ty for reply Zoe :)

I seem to get 1 a month but they are very reliable and prompt with payment

[Zoe]

Yes about the same for me too, payment usually within 48hrs too :)

Yay :cheer2:

How much do you get paid per survey? I did my first one today :clap2:

[andylaine]

You get £4 in luncheon vouchers which are like using cash. Ive used mine in Tesco no problem.

[angel,dust]

Ok so if i'm trialing something and I think it's rubbish - do I tell them that or what I think they want to hear :confused:

what you think

[andylaine]

Ok so if i'm trialing something and I think it's rubbish - do I tell them that or what I think they want to hear :confused:

I would always tell the truth as the manufacturers want to know if there is something that might stop their product selling so when you complete the survey be as specific as possible. For example, I wouldnt just say the product is rubbish but might say 'the showergel did not lather up well and left my skin feeling very dry. Also the frangrance was very weak and unpleasant so I definitely wouldnt buy this product.' hth :)

[hflower74]

I love pinecone, I get regular surveys and get £4 put in paypal and they send me free stuff. I got a big bottle of something today that is really useful.

Got to be the best survey site out there.:)

[bibbly]

I like pinecone and save my LVs for a Christmas spend on alcohol! However, I sometimes have problems accessing the surveys as my PC is SOOOO old and knackered! I only get about one a month too.

Ive been having similar problems with pages taking ages to load up and freezing on me.
I tried on my sons computer which is fairly new and quite a good one and the same thing happened, so think it could possibly be their website and not your computer.

[Gizmos]

i have had to abandon the last two surveys from them as nothing would load

[dillansmummy]

Yeah, had a parcel delivered today (yes today is Sunday and Royal Mail are working :shocked:) it's a new product to test for Pinecone, obv can't say too much but it's laundry related and I've already got the LV for it on Friday just gone. I only started doing in a couple of months ago and I've had £16 lv and 3 things to test so far:star-smiley:

[Maldives]

I tested laundry related product the other week too...

got my first today - chewing gum
took around 15 mins but not sure if I will get LV for it.

[andylaine]

As long as you completed it Mark you will get the LV. It usually only takes a couple of days before you get them, but they're taking a little longer with the Christmas post.

[markat]

Fab - so excited
Thanks so much - still full of cold / flu

[andylaine]

Think Ive caught it off you lol

£4 LV be welcome here !!

i seem to get one every ten days or so

[tigger74]

I don't seem to get quite as many as you two do, but I'm still pleased with getting them!
I get my payment via paypal and am very pleased with that. Looking forward to having £50 in there so I can download it to my bank account without paying charges! (Lightspeed also goes to paypal every time I get enough points for £1)

[clareo122]

I don't get them that often well sometimes get a couple a week then nothing for a while.

[andylaine]

you should be able to. Log in and go to FAQ. it tells you to click on the contact us link if you want to change your payment method. HTH

Joined a week ago, first survey yesterday and shows £4 in my account.
Hurrah - thanks to the PTSer who directed me to Pinecone - looks forward to LVs, just need to get works canteen to take them now !

Am i allow to post a pinecone sign up link?

If not go to Mse Freebies quick before they delete it

[Gizmos]

pinecone don't like it and are a bit "off" when they see links posted - hence we are rather cryptical if we know where one is

[cherry pie]

:confused: who are pinecone and why are they so frightened of us?

[tiger]

Pinecone are one of the best survey companies to work for. You get paid £4 either by paypal or in luncheon vouchers (you choose), for a survey that usually takes around 15-20 minutes.
They just don't like people posting links for signing up for some reason. You aren't allowed to discuss anything you do for them either, but I think that goes for all survey sites.
If you happen to find a Pinecone link, then it's worth signing up for them.

[thehagman]

£4 a survey wow, any clues as to how/where find details to sign up, just been on mse but could not find link op found:(

[mimi1234]

Mine used to be quite frequent, about 2 a week, but now it's like 1 every 2 to 3 weeks. Mind you, it's all good. It's a shame I don't always get the funky products to test out, but it's al good.

[thehagman]

any links anywhere to join as can not find a link on the site?:(

if there are any we'll crypitcally let you know ;) or I may PM

Looks like they are accepting new members again. There's a link in today's MagicFreebiesUK listing.

I am pretty sure that there is a small fee (30p?? or 50p) if you withdraw less than £50 from your paypall account.

80934

[pogoparadise]

I had email off them tonight reminding me that I can get paid into paypal, but I prefer the LV's, easy for me to save them towards airport spends at Boots etc. Besides I dont like the way paypal charge you to receive funds and to withdraw under £50 like 80934 says

[elisawortl]

Thanks to both of you, if paypal are going to charge me to receive the £4 and then charge if I want to withdraw it(under £50) then there's not alot left of my £4 ,is there!!! Cheek.
Will stick with LVs.
Have repped you both.:)

[Made in Devon]

I joined Pinecone about 2 1/2 months ago, did my first survey a couple weeks later and received my LV's.... everything good.
However I have done 4 more surveys since and not received any more LV's, the earliest one was mid-May,
This thread seems to say that the LVs arrive in a few days, is anyone else waiting a few weeks to receive the LV's?
I have sent an email over the weekend, stating the dates I completed the surveys.

[WELSH-DRAGON]

I have been getting my LVs pretty quickly only after a few days of completion

welshy x

[hidetheplastic]

I used to get these regularly but I only get the 'update your details' ones now which don't pay.

Not had one for a couple of months yet I always respond to mails within a few hours.

[WELSH-DRAGON]

the worst one I find for sending surveys and then I am unable to do them is juicybrains its always full when I try !

made in devon - they should respond fairly quickly to you I know when I had a query they were very good at answering

[Made in Devon]

I have double checked my old email box and see that four of the surveys I have done were household questions... only one was an actual survey.
Oh well, that's a shame, there I was expecting £20 in LV's.

i keep getting asked to do a video streaming test.Has everyone else done this? Is it safe for the computer? thanks

I actually prefer luncheon vouchers. In the local Tesco Metro stores, Sainsburys and Morrisons these are the only coupons they normally accept without buying a specific product, apart from their own store coupons. Waitrose take them too.

That's exactly what I do. Tesco can't quibble over those and only say 5 vouchers. The only downside is it takes forever to scan through all the luncheon vouchers

[tiger]

I don't like the way that Tesco put them through as coupons. To me they're money I've earned.

I was surprised last time I used some. The SA put them through as one lot for £4 which is the way that Morrisons do it.

[dune]

It was like tesco chinese whispers with the last lot i spent

I went to cs and asked if i could use LV's ..the SA asked the CS woman who said yes we take those...
did my shop and handed them over to the young SA.. she says i'm not sure if we take those...I said i'd just asked at CS and she said it was fine..
The girl then asked the older SA on the next till who said yes i'm sure we take those but i'll ask the supervisor.. supervisors says i'm sure we do but i'll ask CS
CS said yes it's fine he's already asked
Supervisor comes back and says to older SA yes it's ok.. older SA says to young SA yes it's fine.. she looks at me and says yes we do
Then she was trying to scan the large barcode which obviously would't scan so i say ..it's the small barcode
she scanned them all and then says with a smile... do you work at tesco
I said nope but sometimes i feel like i do ;)

[Aardvaak]

Can someone please tell me where I can get the link to join Pinecone.

[tiger]

They aren't recruiting at the moment Aardvaak, as far as I know.
If ever you see an advert for them, click on it straight away as even when they do recruit it's not for long.
Sometimes people get asked to refer people and if they do they often post on here so it's just a matter of luck and keeping your eyes open.

[hippygirl]

Why is Pinecone in such demand? I signed up months ago, as everyone seemed to recommend it so highly, but have only had one survey since...seems pretty pointless to me...

[tiger]

You've been unlucky, then hippygirl.
I get 2 or 3 a month. Sometimes I qualify to test a product which not only means a freebie but also an extra £4 when I do the follow up survey.

[hippygirl]

AAAww...now I feel really rejected...I get the odd email from them telling me they haven't forgotten me.. but obviously I just don't fit their profile...

[Aardvaak]

Thanks for your replies

[heatherks]

ive been with them a while and only had 1 survey this year ..used to treat the kid to kfc with the vouchers as well

[duchessofthesea]

are they still sending you surveys mine have dropped.

[angel,dust]

[Zoe]

Just had email asking for new members - if you want to be refered please pm me your email address

Thanks :)

[Gizmos]

I believe aardvark ws looking the other day

[Zoe]

Thanks Giz, I have just sent him a PM

[sarmia]

I also have been sent a link if anyone else still trying to register

[Second Born]

I've been sent a link to refer new members too. Very happy to share with anyone who wants to PM their email address.

[Made in Devon]

Thank you for the people offering to share the link. I did PM someone in response to this earlier, My MIL would love to join, if you could please PM the referral I would be very grateful, thank you x

[vwmadgirl]

Yes please i would love to join if someone could PM me the link i would be very happy :D

[charlie123]

Just had email asking for new members - if you want to be refered please pm me your email address

Thanks :)

A big thanks to zoe, have just done my first survey for them. Thankyou for referring me.:)

[Scottishnellie]

I'd love to join Pinecone if anyone else is able to refer? :help:

[hflower74]

I can refer you if you pm me your email address.
I will forward you the email i got which contains a link that you can join up though.

[Scottishnellie]

Thank you - have been sent one by a kind PTSer now. ;)

[CrystalTips]

This sound like a fabulous site. Will have a little looksee I think.

[elt164]

I've been trying to find a link to register for ages now!
If someone could sendme the link to do this I'd be very grateful.
Sorry but I don't understabnd what "pm" means in this context!

[tiger]

PM means private message. If you click on a members name you have the option to send them a private message.
Click on my name and send me a message with your email address and I'll forward the email with the Pinecone link to you. I've no idea if it is still working though.

[hogshead]

I'd like to register for this too if there is still a valid link/referral option.

[hflower74]

If you pm me your email addy i will forward my referral email to you but im not sure its still working but its worth a try.

[charlie123]

Can someone tell me how regular pinecone send you surveys. I signed up a couple of weeks ago and have already completed 3 and received the LV. Are they always this frequent or is it because I'm a newbie? Any info and answers will be repped. Many thanks:)

[Scottishnellie]

I also signed up a few weeks ago yet haven't had anything from them :(

It varies for me. I was getting 2 or 3 a month but they've not been as frequent recently. They're probably sending some of mine to you. lol

[dingaling]

I have signed up a couple of times over the last few months, I cant be interesting enough!!

[Made in Devon]

I'm getting the Household questions a couple times a week at the moment, but you don't get paid for those surveys do you?

[Mamzie]

me too and no we don't

[Scottishnellie]

I got sent a video test tonight to see if I can view any video links they might send - so at least I know my registration is on file somewhere now. :)

Yes - signed up 2 weeks ago too - not received anything.....like Scottishnellie. :( Must be down to profile as I was looking forward to joining in. Starting to get paranoid, as Royal Mail have stood me down too :Cry:

[Mamzie]

Anyone with Neilsen already?

[sunflower]

Me! but i deleted it

I deleted it too, not interested in prize draws, prefer to do surveys for money.

[Gizmos]

i got it too but dont like to download software i know nothing about

[andylaine]

I got the email earlier in the day but didnt really read it till I saw this thread. Ive just gone on to the site and clicked on the privacy policy. i have copied part of it here, I would strongly advise anyone considering joining up not to do so. Im really surprised that a reputable company such as Pinecone are involved in this.

I didn't like the fact that they didn't tell us what the software did on the original email so I ignored it for now :noidea:

giz,
do you know if this works on address registered or isp addy used.:)

[Gizmos]

no idea - think its physical address

[dingaling]

I would love to be referred, my dd is just over 3! However, I have tried in the last couple of months and heard nothing. Do you think I could try again with one of your links? I am concerned they would think it was for mulitple accounts.

[WELSH-DRAGON]

I have quite a few of the pinecone reimbursements now in the form of luncheon vouchers - can these be used at tescos as money off ? I just wondered if anyone uses them on a regular basis or is it the usual they may or may not take them

TIA welshy x

[Gizmos]

yeah used them against a BBQ in Tesco - about £50 worth of them!!!

i use them ok
usually ask at cs if they are still ok to use before i shop and then use as cash
make sure they scan the small barcode and not the big one or they won't scan

[tiger]

I've used them in Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsburys.

[grunnie]

I use them in Boots - saved up a few and treated myself to a bottle of Chanel no5 :D

I had trouble finding places that would accept them, either that or I lost them :( so I get paid by paypal now

[WELSH-DRAGON]

thanks guys for the quick responses, tbh I don't want to get paid via paypal because there is always something I can find on there to use my funds on !

but with the luncheon vouchers I was hoping to save them up for christmas then used them in store as cash, which sounds like its ok to do

welshy x

[tiger]

Welshy how about spending them now and using the equivalent amount of cash to buy saving stamps? You get £50 for 49 £1 stamps and also it's only one transaction rather than handing over lots of £1 & 50p LVs.

[amber502]

I've used them in M&S too.

[andylaine]

Ive used them in Tesco and Boots and also for a meal in Nandos.

[jonquil]

Welshy I've used mine in our local Tesco (CX) no problem, also used them in Asda down the Bay aswell.
On the back of the booklet is a list of some of the places, I think places like Wetherspoons, Pizza Hut are on there aswell :D

[WELSH-DRAGON]

thanks for the replies and jonquil for the local uses. I might get savings stamps for christmas as you suggested tiger thanks again

welshy x

[carebabe]

i used some in m & s.

[amber502]

Tried to use 2 x £1 in an M&S store yesterday. Cashier said they didn't take them at that branch anymore. Checked with customer services and it was confirmed.

I have used LVs at 2 different branches of M&S in the past.

Next time I want to use them in a different branch I will check with CS first.

Hi,

I am a total newbie on here so apologies for just diving in!

I have signed up on a few survey sites in the past but got fed up with them due to several different factors but mainly the getting part way and being told i am not 'suitable' or they have 'enough participants' etc...

The pinecone research site sounds great & obviously pays out well etc but i cannot get into it anyhow so just wondered whether any kind person would be able to help me out with referring me or sending me a link etc...

Ooooooooooh just realised i have two etc's in one email! :der:

Thanks in advance!

I exchanged 7 x £4 booklets today in morrisons for savings stamps for Christmas so that's another £28 to add to my savings card. Did think of using them at christmas at the tills but figured it would be a nightmare handing over the booklets to already stressed out cashiers
