Pinecone Research Question

Ok so I finally found a sign up link for Pinecone Research last week thanks to a friend. Well I went ahead and signed up because who knows when I'll see a chance to sign up again. It's been almost a week and I still haven't heard anything from them saying I'm a member or anything. Do they just send you a notification when they have a survey for you? Or do they send you something telling you you are a member? I'm hoping they accepted me as a member but now I'm starting to wonder since I haven't heard anything. And it says on the site you can't sign up twice or you will automatically get rejected so I don't want to try again just in case. Does anyone know how this works?

Did you check your email account's spam folder? Sometimes even legit mail ends up in there.

Have you added the company's email address to your contact list? Sometimes some mail servers will outright block emails instead of directing them to the spam folder.

I can't answer your question. But the same thing happened to me. I signed up about a week ago and still have not heard anything from them. Hopefully someone will come along and tell us what to do. I really wanted to be a part of this survey site.

I also hope someone is able to help us. This is very confusing to me. Good luck to you!

I ever heard that some survey sites don't always send surveys frequently. If they have a survey, they will definitely send it to you. Also, some survey sites don't send surveys if they think you're not its target market based on your profile. Other possibility is that they may be a scam site.

Pinecone is definitely not a scam site. I've heard from WAY too many people that are very happy with this site.

I would just wait it out. I am a member with them and I love getting the surveys because a few days later I will get the $5 payment in my PayPal account. I think at first things were slow with them, but hopefully you will get accepted and when they have a survey for you they will send you an e-mail with the link and all. They are really great about paying!!

They are a great site, I got an email a few days after I joined to say I was accepted. Sometimes I think they are looking for people in certain area's but I'm not sure. They are great about once a month they will send you a survery and pay you 5.00 they are very detail and require lots of information but it's worth it.

I had the same thing happen to me. They probably dont want you as a member. I personally dont like this site since they only let certain people in. There are plenty of other sites that pay ANYONE to join. My two favorites are surveyspot and opinionoutpost. I have made over four hundred dollars from surveyspot and about ninety from opinionoutpost in a year and a half.

See that's interesting because I often get declined to finish surveys from survey sites but I was accepted to pinecone research. I actually usually get turned down for the paid surveys at Surveyspot but get accepted to the ones that put you in a contest.
