*OVER* Pinecone Research - Paid Product Testing Accepting New Applicants

*UPDATE: Applications now closed.

It's rare when Pinecone Research opens up their invitations, so I'd definitely sign up while they are accepting new members!!!

As a member of Pinecone Research, I was pleased when I received an invitation to test out a new product. Although I can't go into details about the product, I can tell you about my experience with Pinecone Research as a company.

I have received several online surveys from Pinecone taking from 5 -15 minutes and have been paid $3 for each one. I have also received this last product test and payment for that even before I was done completing the final survey. So, I know they are legitimate, reliable and fast paying.

You can sign up here! (Every little bit helps, right?)

Join Tryology and earn points (that will get you FREE products to try)! NOt only do you get to try the products for FREE, but once you create your video reviews you can redeem your points for prizes such as gift cards.

Right after I signed up, I got invited to do reviews on Cheer detergent and Honey Bunches of Oats - each worth 500 points! It looks like they have a certain number of spots for videos on each product so you'll have to act quickly if you want in on it!

Product Testing and Paid Surveys

If you've been around this blog for a while, you'll know how much I love Pinecone Research! While I am not a big fan of wasting my time, filling out surveys, and making pennies for my time, I am a big fan of quick surveys that truly pay out.

I have received several online surveys a month from Pinecone taking from 5 -15 minutes each and have been paid $3 for each one. I have also received this last product test and payment for that even before I was done completing the final survey. So, I know they are legitimate, reliable and fast paying. I have the money deposited into my PayPal account to be used for online purchases, etc.

Pinecone Research is accepting new members now (they don't always), but you can go HERE to learn more and to sign up!

TIP: If you have a male head of household have him sign up since it seems they are in more need of male respondents.
