Dear KENNETH TOOKER,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in PineCone Research and officially welcome you to our panel of online consumers.

Your first survey notification is scheduled to arrive by e-mail in a couple of weeks.

As a thank you for your participation, you will be paid $3.00 PLUS be automatically entered into a bi-weekly Sweepstakes to win additional cash prizes each time you complete an assigned product evaluation survey. Your payment is processed the next business day following the completion of your product evaluation survey and should arrive within a few days.

I got an email yesterday about being eligible for a new survey. Filled it out last night and was paid $5 by paypal today.

Such easy money, I sure wish they sent more survey opportunities, although I've completed 4 in roughly a month. Basically paid for my water bill, lol. I'll take it! Thanks for posting this op!

You have a premier or personal account?

Hmm i'm not sure so i guess personal. Only reason I ever opened it was to buy things from ebay. Bought like 7 things in like 5 years. But I'm sure it said I could transfer the money to my checking account free of charge.
Premier users get charged to receive payments?

I believe all payments including those of non-CC funds gets charged with the paypal fee. Like I've said, I like getting the checks in the mail. It's worth $5 + the cost to mail it to me. 😀

I have CC Paypal & don't get hit with any fees on these payments ... maybe Pinecone pre-pays them or somthing?

No fees here either. $5 even everytime.

 
I have gotten 3 product reviews so far and also received some yummy pastries. Some times the reviews go WAY to long but over all to too bad. I have only been getting $3 checks. I just signed up to switch to paypal hopefully I will get $5 per survey now.
