#2 Pinecone Research

Pinecone Research is the second leading survey panel that exist to America! Rated #2 on the United States Survey Panel provided by Survey Police. A long time ago, I had passed by this website and never joined it because of it's appearance. No offense PineCone Research you guys/gals are great, but the website design is very early 2000's, and yeah.

 Anyways, I recently about a 2 weeks ago I stumbled upon the Survey Police ranking system and since they were number 2 and I was ready to restart my journey making money online, I decided to sign up and in a week I received my first 2 surveys, one in which I never did because I dismissed because I had yet to trust the website. I decided to actually do the second survey that they sent me. Be sure to always do the surveys that they send you because they will expire. The survey I did do took about 30-40 minutes to complete and the questions weren't so bad either, and was given 300 points. On PineCone research, 100 points=$1 dollar. Though you are not reward be any other increments then 300 points( $3.00) , from there you go to redeem my points on your 'profile'/members page. 

You are then directed to the rewards center site

 in which you can use your accumulated points to purchase something or you can chose the $3.00 cash out option. Before reading the 'FAQ' I didn't understand how I was suppose to actually do that because it was not just labeled 'Cash Out' . You actually go to Featured Awards which will be all the way at the bottom on the left sidebar navigation, and then you will click ' Cash Option .' The cash option is only available in increments of $3.00. What this means is that your purchase, is a $3.00 cash option, you can select to have multiple orders of $3.00. Say that you have accumulated 900 points,
in order to redeem $9.00 in cash, then you will select to have 3 orders of the $3.00 cash option. At first you will only be allowed to receive payments in the form of checks being sent to your home, though after your first or second time cashing a check then you will be emailed to send scott@pineconeresearch.com an email saying that you would like to have your payments sent directly to your paypal. I am just at that stage and am waiting for a reply back, because my email that I used for my Pinecone Research account is different then that of my paypal. I will update you about the status of this query once I receive a response ! Also they will always give you $3.00 for each survey you do that does not end in 3001. Those that do are only surveys that will help get a better understand of you are as an individual/household but you will not be paid for them, don't worry though because they are shorter than those you get paid for. Oh, I almost forgot! Also, you are never told about when you will receive it, but I have researched and read that from certain surveys or just randomly they select to have panelists (that's us) participate in a free prodcut testing. Meaning that one day you may check the mail and have a random awesome prodcut, that was free/paid with hard survey taking/question answering work!
          Again, with a great website comes a great copycater looking to take advantage of a website that is doing well for themselves and their panelists, a scam has been replicated to lure panelists into their trap of lies. They send you an email stating to send check through western union or money gram, read more here.
So just watch out, the surveys at Pinecone Research are called Projects, but they look nothing like this and will never be assignments that they want you to send money anywhere. Again Pinecone research surveys are always $3.00 , unless they end in 3001.
