Re: How did you actually sign up? (Reply to this comment)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no easy way to sign up for Pinecone Research. I received an email - last week, in fact - requesting that a URL for sign-up not be made available by current panel members who would like to share this information. When Pinecone has the need for additional panel members, they post a banner ad on a site that they judge will attract the demographic they are looking for.

I must say that over the past several months, I have averaged one survey per month. I know that the frequency of the surveys and payment is contingent on the smaller panel size than some companies have.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Interesting... within a week after posting this review, I received another survey from Pinecone Research! A coincidence? Who knows...

I'm involved with them also and wish they had
more frequent surveys, but heck $5.00 here and
there add up over time. Thanks for a great
review!

I have a $5.00 check on my bulletin board that's been there for a week from Pinecone, lol! Hey, every little bit helps! Good review on a good site.

It is always nice to find a site that really pays. I've been enjoying NFO Interactive, but they recently changed somethings around. I'm not really sure what is going to happen now. I too love having input on new products. Great review!!

I too was lucky enough to happen upon Pinecone when they were accepting applications. I've made about $20 dollars so far, and have actually been sent products to try. I thought that was a nice touch as well:) Great job with the review!
