If you want to try to get signed up for Pinecone Research, registration appears to be open! If you’re not familiar with what Pinecone is, it’s a very popular paid survey panel that is pretty selective when it comes to applicants. They are considered by most to be “the best” paid survey panel out there.
They pay $3 a survey and unlike most other survey panels, they pay fast. If you have Paypal you will usually get the money by the next day. If you opt for check payments, they send it out within just a week. Pinecone is also known for doing fairly regular product testing, which you may also get paid for in addition to testing/keeping the product.
One of the best things about Pinecone apart from the fast pay is that you won’t get survey invites only to find you don’t qualify. You’re normally pre-qualified for every survey they send you.
You can read more about Pinecone in my review here, or you can go ahead and answer the screener questions on their site to see if you qualify to join. It’s worth trying!
Good luck!

Thank-you for leaving this! I have been wanting to sign up with them for a while.
You are welcome! Good luck!
BTW, I really enjoy your blog and the ways you’ve categorized money earning opportunities. I use your blog as a reference frequently, and I come often to check the job links. Keep up the good work.
Got the ” We are currently not hiring for your demographic area.” Oh well.
Been a member for just about two years now and over the last two months, I’ve received about 3 surveys per week (most of them including an exclusive product test). Very consistent survey company! Hi Anna BTW
Hi! Thank you for the feedback
I also really like Pinecone.
i do Pine cone and if you chose PayPal you get your payment the next day sometimes the same day. it is really quick payout. It took me a while to get in just be patient.
i know i signed up..but how do i know if i got in? do they send you an email..i totally forgot what it said after i signed up. :/
It probably would have said something about you getting your first survey soon. You will probably get a survey from them in a day or so if you got in.
I entered my info and it went to there site but there is no info on there asking me about my information. I emailed them and aske how do i enter to answer surveys. and their reply “Thank you for contacting PineCone Research. In order to provide you with quicker responses we are sending this automated message. The email you just sent will still be reviewed and if there are additional questions that are not answered below you will receive a separate email from me within the next 48 hours.
Banner ads are placed on various web sites of broad base appeal to the segments of the population that we are trying to build in our panel. Banner ad placement is not fixed over the life of the campaign and cannot be specified as to where it is placed. ”
what does that mean? I need to click on their ad banner to enter?
confused Ana
Hmm, that is a little confusing I agree. I am not 100 percent sure what that means. Maybe you should try again with another email address?
