Up until now I’ve been making money online free with GPT (get paid to) sites. However, a friend of mine introduced me to this particular survey site called Pinecone Research, so I decided to give it a try.
Now here’s the difference between this survey site and GPT sites:
GPT sites have offers that are available for all to complete. You log into the site, and complete any offers you see available to you, and if they are completed correctly and credited, you get your compensation.
Survey sites email you when there’s a survey available to you depending on if you fit the criteria that the survey requires. You can then click on that particular link that was emailed to you and complete that particular survey, and you’ll be compensated for it.
The thing with Pinecone Research is that you must apply and be accepted into their program before you can begin completing surveys. Their application period is also only open for a while every year or so, that’s how exclusive this program is!
Here are some quick facts about PineCone Research.
* This site is available to USA, UK, Canada and Germany.
* Payment per survey varies depending on country and when you signed up, but is usually between $3 and $5.
* It’s illegal to talk about what products you test.
* You MUST read surveys thoroughly and answer honestly or else you’ll be quickly kicked out of this program.
* Payments are made by PayPal and check.
* There is no referral program. You can only earn by completing surveys.
Here’s my payment proof that this site really does pay! As usual, click the image for a larger view.
My first payment was sent as a check because I had not changed my payment method to PayPal. After this check was received, I changed it, so all my other payments will be sent to my PayPal account.
If you’re interested in making money online by taking surveys in your spare time, please consider signing up for PineCone Research, as it is one of the best survey sites to make money online with.

‘Ello,
Congrats again on the payment.
I remember when I first started with Pinecone, I was getting luncheon vouchers, but switched it to Paypal which I much prefer.

i also have found that greenfield online is great, its very easy to make omoney with… and also you should try survey savvy, they send you surveys only in email(and ive gotten no spam still) and they only send the ones that you qualify for(which are alot)… here is my referral link if you are interested

@Hearts On Fire,

@Jay,
Yes I've heard of Greenfield as well. I haven't gotten the time to check them out myself however. I'm already a member of SurveySavvy.

Pinecone research isn't currently accepting new members but stay tuned to my blog as I usually post when they open their application process. Also I'm not so much a big fan of ptc but I'll check out your blog.
