US Residents Interested in Surveys

Is there anyone here that isn't Using Pinecone Research? This is a honest survey company for us residents. I joined them over 3 years ago and I love them. I even got my stepfather doing the surveys.. :) They are the only great survey company I have found. no one is comparable. They pay $3 per survey and you usually receive that payment withing 24 hours via Paypal. WHAT?! you don't have to save up $50 worth of survey dollars for months before you can cash in and get paid? NOPE. I also love trying out the items they periodically send me. And then I fill out the follow up survey and earn a few more bucks. I ask if anyone ISN'T using them.. because they have recently sent me an email requesting me to tell friends about them as they are looking for more households to join the Pinecone family. (only one person per household can join.) I don't get anything from the referral.. Just the satisfaction in knowing someone else gets to earn a few extra bucks from an honest company. So if anyone is interested in the link they sent, let me know.. I would also like to ask if anyone knows of any other honest survey companies.. not those companies that ask you a million questions and waste 15 minutes of your time only to tell you you are not qualified... meanwhile they just got all the info out of you they needed.. GRRR.. those I HATE. But another similar to this.. like esearch.. who I also use .. they only pay $2.50...usually but they take about a month before they send that to you and they send you a lot less too.. do you know of any others?

I used this survey site for several years until my stats changed and they couldn't use me anymore. Enjoyed the products they sent. And I liked that they responded quickly when I had a question or a problem. I would probably rank them among the highest and I have tried alot of survery sites.

Ya, I enjoyed them too. I lost the children out of my stats as they had grown and they couldn't use me anymore. I may try again at some point but my stats won't change so.....?! Glad you are enjoying them though.

Wow, I don't have any children.. so that's odd that that is all it took to kick you out. Strange.

I agree, I love them.. I hope my stats don't change.. I don't want to lose them. someone else just mentioned the same problem but that they told her she could re apply in a few years and try again. I hope they don't reject me.. I Love being a member and the extra money doesn't hurt either. I have had a few great products too.. One was for a food product that I absolutely LOVED.. then I looked for it around here where I am and they were taking it off the shelves.. I was so upset. :( It was the best tasting thing ever. (not mentioning product per policy) :)

I just looked.. and it doesn't really say.. but as most of the surveys are for products.. they probably want someone who does the shopping so they may figure a 16 year old doesn't have that experience and deny you.

Well that's lame but I guess I could try maybe, all they can do is deny me.

I have tried different survey sites and ended up very disappointed! I have not made money on any! Most of the time I start a survey and I don't even qualify! I also love doing surveys where they tell me I don't qualify for the survey when I am over half done! I don't like surveys were they make you had up points and when you get like 10,000 pionts then you get $10.00! That is crazy! I am very relucent to even try a new survey site! It is crazy and I wish there was a much easier ways to make money on line there is!

This is the best site.. because they don't involve any points.. you don't have to accumulate your earnings before requesting.. you just take the survey, and they send you $3. I have gotten payment a few times within a few hours of taking it. they never say you don't qualify.. this is my opinion is the only survey site worth joining. I will send you the link.. try it.

I would love to have the link if you would be willing to send it to me. With that said, the majority of the surveys that I do are through quickrewards.net and also from swagbucks trusted surveys. The reason that I like both of these ways of taking surveys is because of the fact that I get credit for the surveys that I've completed within 24 hours. quickrewards doesn't have a minimum payout which is something that I really like and as far as the surveys on swagbucks go, I am able to average at least $25 of Amazon gift cards every month that I use toward my gift shopping budgets for the year.

That's awesome. I didn't even realize that there were surveys through swag bucks.. I use a specific swag bucks which I think limits me.. to earnings. it's a Collective Soul swag bucks search..and I have yet to collect anything from them. :) Quick rewards sounds interesting..

Yes, please send me the link. I tried to join them once and they said they weren't taking any new members at that time so I would love to join them now. Thanks.

OOPS... They still didn't let me join. I guess there's something about my "demographic" that they still don't want.

I have been joined with Pinecone for a very long time. I am joined with a whole bunch of survey sites. I have been for years. I also work alot of other free sites also that pay well.

Pinecone is great. They also accept Canadian members. If you're a member of ClixSense, they have a survey component that you have to sign up for separately, but when they send you a survey, the money goes to your ClixSense account. They also don't pay very much, but they will give you 10 cents if you don't qualify.

I've heard good things about them, but when I signed up (a friend sent me the link), they didn't want me. I'm on their waiting list or something. I do esearch, but I get very few surveys. But I do like that they automatically send it to paypal. My best survey sites are (in order): vindale Opinion Outpost Swagbucks SurveySavvy esearch I'm trying valued opinions and a few others also, but I haven't reached payout...
