CLOSED. Pinecone Open for Applications!

THIS OFFER HAS NOW ENDED.

I haven’t seen an opening for Pinecone in ages and I would for sure try and get in on this program if you are looking to generate some extra income from home.

Now you won’t make your first million but they typically pay between $3-5 per each survey you complete. The surveys are typically fairly simple and actually interesting- usually they are oriented around new products that are coming out and they want your feedback on the flavors and the packaging.

This is absolutely the best survey company out there in my opinion. They will not waste your time- you get surveys you are qualified for- so if you agree to take it than you will get paid. Even better, you will get a check right away. They will mail you a check for each survey and they come fast- so it is fun to get an extra few dollars in the mail every few weeks.

They are looking for very specific demographics, so not everyone will qualify.ย  You can give it a whirl and apply here.

Usually Pinecone is only open a few times a year for new applicants and they tend to fill up very quickly so I would not wait to apply.

Good Luck!ย  I have about 10 years of experience with this company – I started doing surveys for a little extra money way back in college so I feel very confident in recommending them to you!

    Love Pincone!! I’ve gotten a couple of free products and I get quite a few survey’s too!! Great way to make a little extra cash. I signed up with Paypal to have it directly deposited into my savings account! Great way to save!

    I, like Lindsey, have it directly deposited into my Paypal account so I don’t have to worry about depositing any checks and the money is accessible immediately. Each survey takes me about 10-15 minutes and they’re all usually the same format/question types. They are relevant and don’t waste your time or send any spam. It’s the only one I’ve found to be worthwhile.

    Jessica- I believe you only need to pay taxes if your income exceeds $600 in a year. I absolutely do not give any tax advice though so you can double check with your CPA.

    I tried a few years ago and didn’t qualify, but I am going to try again!

    Tracy usually they are looking for specific ages. I think when I started 24 was the magic age.

    I LOVE this program!! I signed up the last time you blogged about them and couldn’t be happier with them. I love that (like you said)they don’t waste your time with a questioner before every survey and you get a check after evry survey you complete! Plus I also got to try out products before they were on shelfs, and there the full products not sample sizes. I highly recommend everyone sigh up if they can. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I signed up with them about 4 months ago.. Im 48 so that was the magic number that day. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    I too love them. I’ve never gotten more than $3.00 for any survey I’ve done, but the check comes fast for sure…and I do them often.. More often than at first..
