Is PineCone Research (Pineconeresearch.com) A Scam or the real deal?
Pine Cone Research like MySurvey.com is one of the few legitimate paid survey companies that provides real opportunities for you to earn money for your opinion. Best of all it’s free just like MySurvey.com so no you don’t need to pay $34.95 or whatever the going rate the middleman (SurveyScout.com, etc) may be charging you for this type of free opportunity!
I’ve been with this company for a little over a year now and it’s one of the most consistent in terms of delivering real paid surveys. Unlike some of these other survey companies where your payment is a chance to win cash (what a scam!) PineConeResearch.com will pay you $5 per survey. Not $1, Not $2 but a whopping $5 per survey. So that’s one of the biggest benefits of joining PineConeResearch.com
Here are some other benefits of joining PineConeResearch.com:
Consistent New surveys.
Too often with many other survey companies you’ll get a survey every two or three months if you’re lucky. But with Pine Cone Research I tend to receive 2 surveys per month.
Fast payments.
Some of my other survey companies will have you waiting up to 4 -8 weeks to get paid. Pine Cone Research will pay you within 2-7 days after taking your survey.
Flexible Payment Arrangements.
Before Pinecone Research would only pay you by check as most survey companies do but recently they started paying via Paypal which makes payment even faster now!
Short surveys.
A lot of times there were various companies I signed up for that had many surveys but they were an hour long for a pay of like $2. PineConeResearch.com has found a sweet spot at about 10-15 minutes and sometimes less. So the surveys are pretty short and enjoyable at this length.
Free Samples!
Sometimes Pinecone Research will select you to try some of the products you’re taking a survey on. So not only are you getting paid your $5 you also get to sample some cool products. I’ve tried body sprays, gum, soup, etc. It was actually really cool and fun!

So what are the complaints about Pinecone Research?
Well I’ll be honest, there aren’t many I can think of. The only issue I’ve ever had was that PineConeResearch.com only recruits a few times during the year. So when they are recruiting you need to be able to hunt down one of their ellusive banners to join. I don’t know any other survey company that makes it this difficult to join and I really don’t understand the logic behind it. But if you do a search for google on pine cone research sign up link or something to that effect you should able to find a Pinecone Research Sign Up Link. 
So do I recommend Pinecone Research?
Well if you’ve actually read through this review you know the answer is a resounding yes! It’s definitely one of my top picks!

I’ve been with Pinecone since the 90’s and I get 2 or 3 checks a month. Not a lot I know but hey 5 bucks is 5 bucks, it’s my mad money.

Hi Christine,
Thanks for your comments.
I agree $5 is still $5 bucks! lol

I’ve recently joined Pinecone Research and have been paid for 2 surveys ($5 each). The payment is quick and efficient through Paypal. I’ve also been able to try a sample product. I’ve enjoyed it so far, and if you get the chance, you should try it out.

[...] to other companies I have reviewed such as MySurvey.com and Pineconeresearch.com, MindfieldOnline.com isn’t neccessarily my top choice. They do tend to send a lot of paid [...]

I have done work for PineCone for several years. They are legit and good to work for. No complaints here.

Thanks for the tip. I signed up! I can put a gallon of gas in my car each time I get paid. LOL!

Exactly.
That’s the right attitude to take about it. lol
Crazy how $5 can’t get us more than a gallon in our cars. lol

Since pinecone revamped their site, the signup link supposedly magically appears wherever and whenever. I just found a site (via Google search) that seems to keep their sign up link up-to-date:
http://www.amylynn.org/home/pinecone
Also found out in the search that they don’t always accept just anyone. Good luck! I still don’t know if I’ve been “accepted” yet.

Thanks for the info Cris.

Hi Linda,
Thanks for sharing. It’s good to know others are also experiencing great things with Pinecone research and surveys.
There is too much a bad reputation about paid surveys because of all those companies selling those list. But the fact of the matter is there are real companies that pay you for your views and you don’t have to pay to find them and you’re proof of that.
Thanks again.

Pinecone researchis the real deal I have recieved multiple checks from them. Actually they are the fastest paying survey website I am part of.

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for chiming in. Yet another happy work at home seeker that has proven that paid surveys can make you money and that you can work at home if you’re willing to venture outside your comfort zone.
Thanks again.

I have been doing Pinecone surveys for probably 8 years or more. $5.00 here - $5.00 there. It adds up! I keep all my survey money in a separate account and at the end of the year put it on a CD. Nice little nest egg!
Absolutely ZERO complaints from me! 100% LEGIT!

Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much for sharing. Yet another person that can attest that paid surveys can make you money. I’m happy you share my philosophy of it all adds up. I have to commend you though on re-investing your money so it makes you even more money! That’s smart.
Thanks for sharing that tip!

Hi Angela,
I hear ya, It’s not a lot of money. But for some people it’s better than making no money searching for a work at home job. And when you combine it with the other opportunities we recommend at: www.workathomenoscams.com/articles it does add up.
But with that said, if you want a more direct way of making a larger income to support your family, consider the following two careers:
Medical Transcription(Typing):
www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/03/26/besttypingjob/
Affiliate Marketing (Ad Typing & Posting):
www.workathomecareers.com/wa_adposter.html
Any one of those two work at home careers will make you great money if you’re willing to invest the time and effort in yourself to get trained.
Good luck.

Hey Eddy, I have known about paid online surveys, GPT, etc for a while now, but wow I, cannot believe I have not heard of this one yet. 5 bucks per survey? That is awesome. I searched online and it seems legit. I found a join link on someone’s site and just submitted my application. Hope I get selected to join their panel!
Thanks and keep up the good content on your blog man.
