Pinecone Research

Are you 55+? Join PineCone’s Consumer Research Panel. PineCone Research is looking for WOMEN panelists!

Register to join the PineCone Panel for an opportunity to evaluate new product ideas in the comfort of your own home and earn cash rewards for your opinions.

My husband has been a member for over a year and has had a great experience with PineCone.  They pay $3 per survey through check or PayPal and even occasionally offer product reviews!

If you aren’t a female who is over 55, you may want to consider signing up for Synovate instead!

Update: If you missed signing up for this  the first time, it’s available again!

I am always on the look-out for new opportunities to offer to my readers  to bring  in some extra cash.  That’s why I’m excited to share that Synovate Global Opinion Research is accepting new members.

I always do my research before sharing offers such as this with you.  So before I posted this,  I spent the evening reading reviews on this survey company and am finding very positive things being said.

With Synovate, you’ll earn points that you can redeem for cash once you reach a specified threshold.  From what I am reading, the amount earned will depend on the number of surveys for which you qualify.  (One reviewer said she earned as much as $10 per month, another earned around $20 in a year.)

One of the exciting aspects of Synovate is that many people are also chosen to do product tests for items such as shampoo, conditioner, dog treats, toilet paper and more.   If that sounds like something you’d enjoy,  sign up here!

How about you?  Have any of you had experience with Synovate?  I’d love to know your thoughts!
