Hey all ...
I just recently got on with them and I received and completed one survey and got paid immediately, but I haven't gotten anything sense. I got a tester to make sure I could stream video and it was messed up bc I had recently started using Mozilla (testing it out). Anyway, the video tester called for IE, which was no problem, but when I used that browser it kept saying I needed some king of security signature. Apparently Pinecone wasn't recognizing that address.
Since then I haven't received a single survey. Does anyone else have this problem? How many on average do you all get?
Thanks.

They dont send very many out, but when they do they pay good, just wait. I get those testing things sometimes, and they dont alwasy work, I did one the other day. But no, you wont get very many survery from them often.

I made $30 in my 1st month with them (March), but haven't received any surveys since then. Only one of them was a PT, even though they asked if I'd like to participate in a PT in all the other surveys. I also had technical difficulties with the flash testing, but it didn't seem to stop the surveys from coming. I'd suggest you e-mailing them to make sure that isn't the reason for the lack of surveys. They've responded to my e-mails very quickly. Maybe your demographics don't fit what they need right now, but I'm sure you'll get more surveys from them. And the quick $5 payout is worth sticking with them, even if you only get a couple here and there from them.

I agree with emailing karen. She answers pretty quickly and is always helpful. I get 2-3 a week from them on average.

I signed up to Pinecone from the UK about a week ago, and I've also had that video test thing through. It took quite a bit of work to get the video to play, as I had to download a security certificate. It did work in the end though, so I'm not sure why yours didn't Crystal. I have IE and Media Player 11
Just waiting for my first survey from them now.

I got a survey from Pinecone today, and I'm based in the UK. And it was a good survey too!

I've had three in the past week. SO exciting!!! Do you know when they're going to send products for you to test? Two of my surveys had a question towards the end that asked if I would use this product, but that was it. The third didn't even have that question, so I'm not sure if I should be expecting products or...?

They always ask if you would be willing to test the product, but rarely actually send one. I've done many many Pinecone surveys, and have only had 2 actual product tests.

But do they tell you they're going to send it? Or will it just arrive one day??

FedEx just usually pops up at your door one day!! I've never actually been told it's coming.

I got two checks in the mail yesterday from Pinecone! My boyfriend was shocked. He hasn't really said anything negative about it so far, but I knew he was really skeptical. Once I had those checks in my hand though, he was just speechless.

I get a couple of surveys from them a month. Maybe about 3 - 4 testers a yr.
