PineCone Research

As most market research websites will tell you, consumer input is vital to the development of new products, and to the refining of existing products. Companies use the opinions of their target market to perfect their goods and services so as to improve their experience. PineCone Research is a good example of such market research, and this website offers a variety of online surveys through which companies gather information of this nature.

This online survey and user-feedback website will compensate people willing to participate in their various programs with cash payouts, vouchers and free products that panelists will have to evaluate. Various surveys attract various compensation; however the majority of surveys on the site appear to be rewarded with vouchers. Typical questionnaires on Pinecone Research will take between 15-20 minutes to complete, and panelists can expect to be offered surveys to complete up to twice a month.

PineCone Research are happy to pay a panelist each time a survey is completed or a product is evaluated, however such details are not revealed as general information – they are only released with individual surveys. They do, however, make cash payments into PayPal accounts when applicable – which is often the best way to be compensated for your valuable opinions.

Comments Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Jesse From: Canada Comment: I have to say, although it was difficult to join Pinecone-Research as you have to be invited, it is well worth the wait. Each survey is worth $5, which is paid within 48hrs via paypal, most times within 24hrs. I have never experienced a survey site that pays so quickly and I must say, it just lends itself to the legitimacy of the entire company. The only issue I have is that the survey frequency is not that great, maybe 4 a month. However, this could be based on my profile. I have only not been compensated for one survey that I completed and within 1 hour of sending an inquiry email asking about my compensation I had a response indicating that it was their mistake due to new software and that they will have my payment within 48 hours, which they did! If you ever receive an invitation to join Pinecone-Research, it would be wise to join and reap the benefits.

They are extrememly difficult to join however if you are lucky enough to become a member you won't regret it. Although their survey frequency needs to improve drastically, when you do get to take a survey you are paid the very next day via pay pal. No other survey website that I have come across pays out as quickly as Pinecone, which really makes you wonder why every other site can take weeks/months to pay up. As I mentioned the survey frequency isn't that great, about once a month for me, however each survey you do receive is worth $5. As well, another perk, I have completed 4 or 5 product testing surveys as well in which I got to keep the product I was testing and received the $5 for the survey. All and all, one of the best survey sites available if your lucky enough to join. If they had better survey frequency, no body would be better.

This is a great company and they pay more than other companies.

I am pretty sure they have a set payment because every survey I have ever taken has had a 3 dollar incentive. and is deposited in my paypal with in a couple of days, and before paypal was received in the mail with in a matter of weeks. I have only had four surveys and have received $12 which is quite a bit more than any other survey company I have been involved with. Date: Nov 23, 2009
