Surveys sites offer a great way to earn a little extra pocket cash, and Pinecone Research is one of the best companies around. They pay $3 per completed survey via PayPal and occasionally will mail out products for panelists to test.
I’ve always found them to be pleasant and responsive to work with, and they pay very quickly.
Pinecone is a pretty exclusive site, and it’s not often that they open up their membership registration, so I’d recommend applying now if this sounds like something you’d be interested in!

Thanks for the link! I've read your past mentions of Pinecone and have been waiting for registration to open up!
I've been with Pinecone for 4 years & I can't say enough about how great they are! If you are considering signing up, do it!
How do you get the surveys? Do they send the survey to your email or do you have to log in and look for them?

I have been with Pinecone for more than a year, it is a great way to earn extra little money . They send the survey to your email.
Are the surveys live on the phone or computer or fill out surveys online?
When you're registering, it says right under where you type in your email, that they will send you an invite to that email address for the surveys. After finishing your registration, it says that if you qualify, you will receive an email in a few days.

I signed up a few weeks ago and just got my first survey. It was great AND they are sending me a product to try :)
For those who signed up on average how many surveys to you get a week? Did you make enough for them to send you a 1099 last year to report on your income taxes?
This is my favorite survey site. It seems every time I turn around I get another $3 for having completed a survey. They also have Paypal available so it's even quicker to obtain the earnings.
I registered not long ago and received a product to try just yesterday! We'll be trying it out tonight!
Wonderful, I just registered. This would be great for me!
I've been trying to join PineCone for 2 years now. FINALLY I was able to sign up. Thank you!♥
This my favorite survey site. They pay promptly via paypal. I have made easily 20 bucks so far in just a few weeks. Its is not going to pay my bills but can help pay for the little luxuries in life like pizza and movie night.
how much tax do you pay in the year-end? Do u get a 1099?
What are the reasons for not qualifying?
i've tried many times to register...but never get an email stating that I am now a member of their research group.
I'm not sure why I would not qualify...I'm a member of other consumer research groups.
bummer!
WHAT OTHER ONES ARE GOOD OUT THERE? IM A NEW STAY AT HOME MOM AND EXTRA $$ WOULD BE NICE!
VANESSA, Hey I just wrote about post today about another site I find to be credible, and have been paid by personally. It's called My Survey and you can read my post for more details here:

I have been with Pine Cone Research for about 5 years and they are great to work with and always send your compensation right away
how long does it take to complete an adverage survey, and how often do you get paid for taken the surveys???
I just registered...thanks so much for the link. I have done similar surveys and have been a mystery shopper for a company yrs. ago and it is always a great way to make extra cash. It is fun testing the samples,too. I hope I get an e-mail saying I am accepted. Sounds great from all the comments given. Can anyone tell me about how often you get surveys? Thanks.
woo hoo, i got in. Received my welcome email today.
Thanks for the link! I received my welcome email today! I am going to use the money earned for my tastefully simple products so my husband can't complain i'm spending too much :). Thanks again, I would never have know about this if it wasn't for all the hard work put into this site!!!
Thanks for the tip. I will definitely check this survey site out. I haven't had much luck in the past with other survey sites, but I look forward to seeing how this one goes. Thanks again!
