They were great when I first started completed surveys 10+ years ago. Over the past few years when completing surveys I have answered 5-10 min of questions and then been told I "don't qualify". I have also completed a few surveys to the very end and then told "the survey closed" and did not receive compensation. Disappointing that they aren't what they used to be.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Used this for years. Earned £4 per survey. Recently changed and went to withdraw my points and virtually lost 90% of their previoys value!!!! Disgusting as should have had £350 to withdraw but instead amounted to £35. NO WARNING this was going to happen so they've basically stolen earned money. Absolutely gutted.

This is the second time I fully completed a survey and didn't not receive points. The second time the message came up at the end saying survey was closed. I've been doing surveys with this company for very very many years and I know for a fact when I finish a survey it wasn't a mistake that I thought I completed and I did not I know I completed both of these surveys to the absolute end. They used to be wonderful three points every survey and I love their surveys the past year or two they changed they don't hardly give you any points or lucky if you get 75 points for a really long surveys and now they're starting to not give points and trying to act like the surveys would have been closed they literally just sent me the survey I immediately clicked on it did the whole entire survey and then you're going to tell me surveys close I am really angry right now and I'm telling people stay away from this company don't waste your time our time is valuable

After years of enjoying Pinecone research surveys this company has flopped beyond belief in the past few months. There can be no doubt most of the 'surveys' now offered are simply scam attempts to obtain your information without any obligation to offer you the promised payments in return. I'm writing this after just spending 20 minutes completing a survey, I received confirmation on screen it had been completed followed by a message telling me unfortunately I didn't qualify for the survey! Such a shame to see, as others have reported such a good company fall apart like this.

This used to be a great survey company, yes, I used to get surveys about once a month. Then they updated their site, I can no longer redeem my points; the customer support does not exist. I would say AVOID them, they owe me money and will not respond to why I can only cash out on a virtual card, which is of no use to me. I can see what I can redeem to, but that is the only option I see. Which does NOT work

Ich bin viele Jahre zufriedenes Mitglied bei Pinecone gewesen. (... und derzeit bin ich auch NOCH dabei). Bis vor kurzem war alles okay. Aber, als dann Anfang März auf die neue Online-Plattform umgestellt wurde, ging der Ärger los: Man opferte seine Zeit und füllte Umfragen komplett aus. - Und am Ende kam dann entweder eine Error-Seite (keine Punkte!) oder eine Seite (wohlgemerkt immer NACH der Umfrage): „Es tut uns leid, aber diese Umfrage wurde bereits geschlossen.“ (ebenfalls keine Punkte!). (?!) Das darf doch nicht wahr sein! - Man investiert seine Zeit und bekommt dann am Ende keine Vergütung... Ich bin kurz davor, das Umfragenportal zu verlassen. :(

I have been completing their surveys for at least 7 years; thought I would wait a while until my points added up before redeeming them. Bad idea! Much to my dismay, I have tried to contact them THREE separate times regarding this issue, only to discover that my points have "expired". I never dreamed there was a problem with the points expiring. They have NEVER replied to my 3 requests for information regarding my points expiring. Extremely unprofessional to be "ghosted" in this manner. AND new surveys require a lot of time to even find out if you qualify to take a survey - many times you eventually learn you are not eligible.

What a change for the worse. I used to find Pinecone reach quite reliable and respected but now it is probably the worst survey company I use. Surveys are few and far between and they all get screened out. They're all worth £1 or less and minimum withdrawal is £10 and is just for vouchers. Before the change I would get a survey every couple of weeks ago and would never screen out. It was worth £3 and could be withdrawn straight to Paypal. Avoid what is now a scam.
