This used to be an excellent way to complete 2-3 surveys / month for $3/survey. Two months ago the format changed and they pushed out many more surveys some paying more but hard to qualify for and in some cases after taking a 15 minute survey disqualifying you. When you send in an inquiry, they send back the same automated response several times....not reading the nature of the complaint. Don't waste your time...stay away.

Ever since the new update to Pinecone Research I am very disappointed. I have taken multiple surveys all the way through and then not be rewarded at the end. It used to be a good platform, but not anymore sadly....

Got invited to take a 15 minute survey. The compensation was 100 points. I took the 15 minute initial screening survey not knowing that it wasn't the main survey. After that final question they said that I qualified to take the survey. Then I proceeded to answer around 100 questions for the next 30 minutes. At the very end it said that I did not qualify and I received 0 points. After that I did some math and realized that the 100 points equals $1 and even if I had only taken a 15 minute survey, which I didn't, I would have only received $1 for 15 minutes which would equal $4 an hour LOL not to mention the fact that I did take the initial screening survey they said I was qualified and then push me into the main survey area where I did actually take the survey. I just don't understand was I supposed to take three separate surveys and how many questions should I have answered to earn this dollar? The questions that I was asked for extremely specific questions about specific businesses purchase times purchase amounts purchase items members of the household their types of purchases what I thought but my opinions were about different businesses this seemed like a legitimate survey. But apparently it was a screening survey which is crazy because I can't imagine how much more specific they would have been had there been a third separate and higher-tiered survey for a dollar LOL just terrible don't bother

Formerly a decent site that didn't have many opportunities to earn, but at least was legitimate and paid as stated. Now a complete scam that has you do surveys and never pays.

What a piece of junk app. I

No way I just did a survey for 40 minutes, thinking it was the actual survey because nothing indicated that it wasn't, and then they tell me I didn't qualify for the survey. They asked over a hundred intricate and detailed questions and had me write two paragraphs for them, in total. Free labor basically, because they still got my opinions they just didn't reward me any points. Overall not a great first impression, so this is my last impression.

Prior to the launch of their "new and improved" website, I never had any problem with Pinecone Research. The surveys came once in a while and I usually got $3 for about 10 minutes of my time. Wasn't getting rich but I had the time so why not? Now, I get several surveys a day and qualify for about one in 100 and I noticed the rewards are far less for longer surveys. After I redeemed points for two $10 Amazon cards, I was issued the first one but a freeze was put on my account until such time as it was determined my account hadn't been "hacked." Hacked? The first card came in the mail within a couple of weeks but it took me 15 (yes 15!) email inquiries and lots of bogus responses from the ever-present Karen Scott (who signs all the emails you get from this shady outfit) before I finally got the second card. It took so long and was so frustrating, I'm done with this sketchy company. I have no idea what happened, but before the "new and improved" website, I liked the company. Now, they're straight up trash.

I'm honestly very angry I've plenty of times now not getting my points for completed surveys at the end put in all my information about who lives in house ages submit it says disqualified are you kisd me I completed it not once more then twice
