Default Does anyone want to join Pinecone?

I got an e-mail to refer friends to join the Pinecone research panel. They are an online survey company. The surveys are pretty simple and pay $3 each. Not terrific but they are legit and dependable. If you would like to join, PM me your email address and I'll forward you the info. Note: Only one membership per household. Also note: I do not get any compensation for referrals.

How long do the surveys typically take to do and is there a limit of any kind? Also, how are you paid?

Thanks..

The surveys usually take 15-30 minutes depending on how fast you are. You can do as many as you want, but there is a time limit of about 3-5 days. You are paid with a $3 check sent int the mail each time you complete a survey.

The surveys are all advertisement based Nielsen (sp?) surveys. In addition, they do product testing on most of the items based on the surveys.

This is the real-deal survey website that pays money quickly and offers surveys regularly. I tried a few and this is the best one.

I've never had it take me 30 minutes to do a survey. Usually 10-15, but I do a lot of surveys so I'm pretty good at doing them. It is something that gets quicker with practice. Also, I don't get paid by check. They deposit the $3 into my PayPal account.

I sent an e-mail through the link on this site. That should work.
