Avoid

I haven't had a survey from them in months as apparently they wrote to my home address and I didn't reply. Given that I live in building divided into flats I can only assume it went to one of the neighbours who was able to view my personal details thanks to this company's shoddy practices. Given that I always refused the offers of home product tests for this very reason I am absolutely furious that they would unilaterally decide to do this. Avoid at all costs!

Avoid, not worth the hassle

I would echo what others have said. I joined Pinecone a few years ago and was initially contacted fairly regularly to complete surveys which I always did the same day because the rewards are admittedly quite generous.

Not long into my membership I stopped receiving emails and was then unable to access my account, eventually getting around to emailing the lovely (!) Karen who very unhelpfully confirmed that due to my non-compliance my account had been closed. No apology or explanation offered as to how I had been ‘non compliant’ when they hadn’t actually contacted me. I strongly disputed this because it was actually PineCone who ceased communication and then decided to close my account without warning. I also lost the remainder of my reward balance and requested that this be returned given the time I had spent completing surveys for them. Rather conveniently, rewards are time limited so have been lost; hard to redeem when you can’t access your account though.

Customer service appears to be one person, ‘Karen’, who initially told me i had contacted PineCone USA in error with my query and said she would redirect this to the correct panel.. and then answered the question from the other panel 🤷‍♀️ Communication is abrupt and unfriendly, indeed it appears it was my fault that they decided to close my account.

To conclude I’d give this company a wide berth, they are not worth the hassle. I suspect they close accounts so they can take on new members to enhance their data collection reach. Don’t give them your personal information or your time.

They've lost respect

I was with Pineconeresearch for many years. They were great. Even did product testing. Now I'm barred, and before that happened nothing heard from them in many months. So from being good they are now awful and no longer recommended. I suspect new management who don't have the same integrity.

Slow but trustworthy

I joined pinecone in 2018 and since then I've cashed out £170 in amazon gift cards. Surveys are infrequent and so it is slow to earn money with pinecone but each one pays £3 for about 5 minutes of your time and it is a genuine survey site. I've never been screened out of a survey and I've even had a couple of surveys where I've been sent items to test at home. It's a bit of extra cash for doing very little so I'm happy with it.

Crafty Company. Be warned!!!

I joined Pinecone as I heard they were a 'premium' review site paying £3 per survey, and was invite only.
It took me a long time to be accepted, so I was thrilled when I finalled got in.
After the registration, I was sent my first survey to complete with an ID and password to log in to access it.
I attempted numerous times and the details did not work. My account got blocked after a few tries.
I contacted Pinecone and explained what happened, so they gave me the same ID and password again and told me to wait 15 minutes.
I tried again and the same thing happened.
The second time I contacted Pinecone to explain the situation, I received a message saying that they are no longer accepting applicants and to try again in a few weeks.
But this made no sense, as I was already registered with them.
It's as if they did this purposely as an excuse to reject me, after getting me to fill out a lengthy questionnaire upon registration.
So basically free market research for them. They probably assume I will try to join again at some stage and then go through the process of a more questions on another topic.
This situation was a huge red flag for me, and I wanted to warn others not to be fooled by the amazing fake articles written about this company.
Stay away.....

avoid this lot if you want to make some money

Been with this lot since 2018. Nowadays they send me 1 survey maybe every 3 or 4 months. I can't log in. Takes me attempt after attempt to log in. Keeps saying password isn't correct or user number, but I have both written down. Finally I do manage to log in. Survey doesn't open. It just says in progress but it is not open. Tried to delete my profile and nowhere is there a link or any way to delete my profile. I spend more time trying to log into this site when doing surveys and it has been like this for the whole of 2022. That's enough now.

This site was great

This site was great. You could cash in your points and they would mail you a check. Now you have to link your bank acct. and they send you codes with a pin to send the $$ to your acct. I have $110.00 that I have been trying to transfer and none of the codes or pins work I’m beyond frustrated and have been unable to contact them.

Ein miserables Umfragepanel das sich…

Ein miserables Umfragepanel das sich überhaupt nicht um seine Mitglieder kümmert. Probleme über Probleme und kein Ansprechpartner, wenn überhaupt erhält man Textbausteinantworten die überhaupt nichts mit der Anfrage zu tun haben. Die Umfragen funktionieren oftmals nicht und bleiben einfach stecken oder fangen gar nicht erst an. Insgesamt die schlechteste Erfahrung die ich bisher mit Umfragenportalen bisher gemacht haben. Es werden auch private Daten abgefragt die in keinem Zusammenhang mit den Umfragen stehen. Man wird forciert Telefonummern zu hinterlegen und erhält ungefragt Post, die noch dazu in einer sehr unseriösen Form und mit Rechtschreibfehlern ankommen. Das geht gar nicht mehr und daher bin ich weg!

Nicht mehr tragbar was bei diesem…

Nicht mehr tragbar was bei diesem Anbieter abgeht. Ich habe noch nie so ignorante und unfähige Mitarbeiter in einem Umfragenportal gesehen. Bei Pinecone juckt es niemanden was die Mitglieder denken. Es sind ja auch nur austauschbare Teilnehmer. Ich finde die gesamte Vorgehensweise, die fehlerhaften Umfragen und die schlechte Antwortqualität des Supports einfach unterirdisch. Die Rechte eines Mitglieds zählen hier überhaupt nicht. Es werden ständig neue Stellschrauben gedreht um alles noch restriktiver und komplizierter zu machen. Für jede Umfrage muss man sich einloggen, solle sich mit einer erreichbaren Handynummer autorisieren und wie ich heute erst erfahren habe, einen Brief beantworten der in einer extrem liederlichen Form zugesandt wurde. Das ist einfach zu viel des Guten. Es werden Dinge erwartet, die meine Privatsphäre betreffen und nicht mehr nur die Produktbewertungen in Umfragen. Das war so nie vereinbart und stellt eine große Abweichung zu den vormals akzeptierten Vereinbarungen dar. Das ist nicht nur illoyal sondern auch sehr befremdlich. Unter solchen Konditionen, die nicht einmal ausreichend transparent kommuniziert werden, macht die Teilnahme keinen Sinn mehr. Man muss jederzeit damit rechnen gesperrt zu werden und dann ist das ersparte Guthaben futsch. Das geht für mich überhaupt nicht und ich bin ein Mensch und keine Maschine die man zur eigenen Gewinnmaximierung, nach Lust und Laune ausbeuten kann. Ich bin raus und kann es niemandem Empfehlen hier weiterhin Mitglied zu bleiben.

Konto wurde nach stecken gebliebener…

Konto wurde nach stecken gebliebener Umfrage einfach gelöscht. Auf die Nachfrage beim Support kam einfach nur der Textbaustein, dass falsche Personenbezogene Angaben gemacht worden sind und daher das Konto unwiderruflich gelöscht worden ist. Eine Auszahlung die noch offen stand und vorher in Auftrag gegeben worden ist, wird verweigert.

Einfach nur ein schlechter Scherz, Klärung mit Support nicht möglich es wird nur in Textbausteinen geantwortet. So vergrault man ebenfalls langjährige Mitglieder - seit 3 Jahren ist das ganze eh auf dem Absteigenden Ast gewesen, Umfragen wurden weniger, Vergütung wurde weniger, die Auszahlungen haben immer länger gedauert. Da sind andere "nicht elitäre" Panele deutlich besser.

Meine Erfahrung zu Pinecon ist durchweg negativ.Sowas habe ich noch nicht erlebt.Hier wird ein unterstellt, falsche personenbezogene Daten angegeben zu haben.Darauf hin wurde ohne jeglicher Vorwarnung mein Konto deaktiviert. Natürlich wurden meine Punkte gleich mit gelöscht.Somit habe ich die schöne Zeit für die Umfragen umsonst investiert. Ich habe alles nach besten Gewissen eingegeben. Missverständnisse hätte man vor der Deaktivierung klären können.Aber da ist dieser Verein überhaupt nicht dran interessiert. Sowas ist meiner Meinung nach unseriös. Es gibt genug bessere Umfrageportale.Wenn man so mit seinen Mitgliedern umgeht, wundern mich die ganzen schlechten Bewertungen nicht.

Pinecone ist miserabel geworden

Pinecone ist miserabel geworden. Die Umfragen kommen nur noch sehr selten und vielmals qualifiziert man sich nicht. Desto länger dauert es eine Prämie zu bekommen. Um eine Sachprämie zu bekommen, müsste man jahrelang Punkte sammeln. PayPal ist nicht mehr möglich. Wenn man eine Banküberweisung bekommen möchte, muss man sich umständlich bei Wallet anmelden. Früher konnte man Produkte zum Testen bekommen, jetzt schon lange keine mehr. Pinecone macht keinen Spaß mehr.

Disappointing experience and not getting paid

I enjoyed the platform when I started, but unhappy about not getting paid for a survey that I completed to the end. The indifference and lack of apology from the person that handled the communication is also annoying. I got sent another survey, but this one is struggling to download and timing out, so I won't be completing it.

I'd give them zero stars if I could. No integrity.

This company has gone downhill since I joined many years ago.
Just completed a long survey, but due to a technical problem their end it wouldn't submit. This hapened twice.
They reissued the same survey 3 days later (shows that it was a dtech problem their end).
They refuse to pay me for the time I spent completing the survey in good faith.
I agree with many of their other unhappy survey completers, they realy are a shoddy company.
