Leider muss ich auch sagen das sich das Panel deutlich verschlechtert hat. Häufige Screenouts auch noch nachdem man schon einen Großteil der Fragen beantwortet hat. Eine deutlich niedrigere Vergütung und auch die Prämienauswahl hat ich verschlechtert. Ich überlege wirklich die Teilnahmen am Panel zu beenden.

This site was once excellent to do surveys. When I started doing surveys with Pinecone Research, it paid by physical check which could be claimed after completing one survey. It replaced the checks with bank transfer which was replaced by Paypal which was replaced by virtual card which expires after six months of activation and can't be used some places online. When I first started, the surveys were few but reliable. Maybe a year ago, third parties were allowed to offer surveys which I find hard to qualify for them and not worth the poor award for time spent. I would recommend avoiding this site. If I hadn't done surveys with it for many years, I wouldn't do surveys. Pinecone Research doesn't appear to care about its reputation.

Ich kann mich leider den negativen Bewertungen nur anschließen. Die Entwicklung bei Pinecone ist in letzter Zeit leider sehr negativ zu bewerten und auch ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Umfragen nach der letzten Frage in einer Fehlermeldung münden etc. Auch das es keine Info gibt, dass die Punkte demnächst verfallen, finde ich sehr nutzerunfreundlich, denn man kann das nicht selbst im Blick haben, bei diesem System. Schade, ich bin bestimm seit 15 Jahren dabei, aber so langsam tendiere ich auch, Pinecone den Rücken zu kehren! Spaß ist das eine, sich ausnutzen zu lassen das andere!

I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF PINECONE RESEARCH FOR YEARS. IN THE PAST, 9 OUT OF 10 SURVEYS YOU FILLED OUT YOU WOUL;D BE CHOSEN FOUR. NOW, AFTER THERE RECENT CHANGES, IF YOU GET 2 OUT OF 10 YOU ARE LUCKY. I DID ONE LAST MONTH THAT LAST FOR 4 WEEKS. IT WAS A TOOTHPASTE STUDY. I COMPLETED ALL 4 WEEKS, TRIED THE PRODUCT, DID THE FOLLOWUP SURVEYS AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN PAID ON THIS AS OF YET AND THE COMPLETED SURVEY DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER MY ACCOUNT ON THEIR SITE. I HAVE EMAILED PINECONE 4 TIMES ABOUT THIS AND SINCE NO RESPONSE, DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO POST ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE TO WARN OTHERS ABOUT DEALING WITH THEM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This used to be a pretty legit site, good rate of rewards in exchange for god awfully long surveys with horrible loading times. Ever since they changed recently, they just bombard your email with surveys that you somehow qualify for none. None... They have also gotten stingy with rewards, 200 points for an hour video, no thanks. Another issue I have with the surveys, most places will give you a few points for doing some, but not qualifying, you know, for taking up your time. Not Pinecone though, 15 minutes into one? Oh well, we got the info we seemed to have needed, now you don't qualify, NO POINTS FOR YOU!

The surveys used to be few and far between, but if they sent me one, I did it and was promptly credited. Now, it's "new and improved", I get several a day but I click on them and they are either all ready filled up or I don't qualify. Every single time?! It seems several people are experiencing this. What's going on?! I asked them directly and they suggested clearing my cache files, using chrome, etc. but it was no help. Starting to feel like Pinecone is a waste of time.

Used to be a great survey site. Not any more. You can now spend 10 minutes answering questions only to find out you "don't qualify". The site is slower than the old dial-up modems.

I have been a member for a number of years. Initially, I found the experience to be fine. Decent rewards which outweighed the awful website and its somewhat “unique” approach to logging in/viewing one’s details etc. Recently the only awards are vouchers with a typical upgrade of £10 eating into 6 months worth of accrued points!!! But what’s really done it for me is how much of an absolute ball ache it is trying to get on and view my account. Tedious, cyclical rubbish, with tiny error messages appearing in weird parts of the screen. Really not worth the hassle for a yearly reward of £50 off a holiday voucher. I’m not wasting my time with this any more. Just awaiting the calls from their “thought police”.
