Over the years I have participated in a number of online survey companies and I have to say that Pinecone Research is the best! My time is important to me, and I don't like to waste it spending 20-30 minutes doing a survey only to get "disqualified" towards the end and not receive any compensation for the time I have spent. You do not have that problem with Pinecone Research. They will occasionally send you requests to update your profile which they state beforehand will not be paid but they usually take 3-5 minutes to complete. I consistently get a higher number of completed surveys with this company because they send only surveys that I will qualify for. Once in a while I will not qualify for one, but it is because I don't either use the product or use it frequently enough.
The other major plus with this company is that the payment is fast. You can elect to receive a check in the mail or have it deposited directly into your paypal account. They do offer a variety of different types of product tests and sometimes pay extra plus you get the product for free. I have also participated in online focus groups with them that usually last 45-60 minutes and was paid $25 each time.
This is a great survey company to get involved with, You know you will be paid quickly and you might get lucky enough to earn product tests or be selected for focus groups. Pinecone Research has been around for quite a while and I have never heard anything negative about them from their members. You do have to apply/be referred for membership.
