My all-time survey company is again accepting applicants!

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.

There is a new points rewards sytem, however you can still opt to use your points to redeem for PayPal cash, check or to be added to a Debit card and they are still offering $3 per survey.  You will have the option to redeem your points for merchandise or to cash out after completion of one study or to save the points to redeem a larger item from the website.  You can check out more about the new system here.

My husband has participated in the panel and we have always been impressed with how quickly they compensated him after a survey. We also were given the opportunity to be product testers and were paid $3 for completing a survey about our experience.

Note: They are accepting a limited number of applicants in certain demographics.  Let me know if you are accepted!

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, be sure to apply today!
