If you hurry you can apply for Pinecone Research. They are looking for select demographics right now- so not everyone will get in.
This is by far my favorite of the survey companies and I was a member of Pinecone for several years.
They send surveys out to you (if you are accepted) and once you complete them, you get paid $3. It is very easy and the surveys are usually on new products and what you think of the packaging etc.. so actually kind of fun.
I have yet to hear anything negative about Pinecone. They are very straightforward and extremely prompt to pay. You aren’t going to make your first million with them but you can certainly make a little extra cash to pay for a few extras!
Right now they are focusing on specific demographics so you can apply and see what happens. Head over to Pinecone for more information.
I will tell you this tends to fill up FAST.

I have been a member of Pinecone for about a year now. I love it! The send a decent amount of surveys and you get paid immediately.
I will say that they have changed to debit card system of payment though. They send you a debit card and once you complete a survey they add the $3 to your card the next day.
I’m saving my card to use on our trip to Disney this fall!

I was once a member of PineCone Research but had to stop due to no computer access @ home. Well, as is obvious, I now do. Is it because I am now “too old” (69) to qualify for your research studies? I still shop and have opinions abut many products,stores,services that buy or frequent. My money /whatever is accecpted when I am “out and about” shopping,looking,researching,or consuming. Please let me know. Thank you.

Marian,
I don’t know how they decide the demographics. I am probably too old myself at 35 :). I believe they are typically looking for women aged 22-24-ish and those of hispanic heritage but I really have no idea for sure. You can fill it out and see what they say :).

How many “modifications” do I have to make before my comments/questions are accecpted? This my third time trying to get my message through.
Charlene says
Marian,
I have approved all your comments. You just need to please be patient because I simply can’t humanly approve comments the same second you post them ;).
Marian Reed says
I thought that I had to redo/reword my missive(s) I sent to “you” when I got back my statements/questions with some of the words that were underlined. That’s why the rant. I apologize.
I REALLY would like to rejoin Pinecone Research. I felt that my opinions/observations were valadited by the Pinecone company/group. The monitary incentives were nice too.
Marian.

My mom is 65 and white and she is a member of pinecone. So I think it really just depends on what they are looking for at the moment. By the way, they are accepting male, 50+ age group, and Hispanic right now. 🙂
