Synovate Research Panel Open Again (Paid Surveys + Product Tests)

by 2 Comments


Synovate Global Opinion Research is taking applications again right now! Along with Pinecone Research, it’s one of the most frequently recommended paid survey panels by Deal Seeking Mom readers.

The main difference between Pinecone and Synovate is that you will not earn cash for every survey. With Synovate, you’ll earn points that you can redeem for cash once you reach a specified threshold. However, you will still have opportunities for product testing much like Pinecone.

Endorse Services Suspended Until Relaunch

by 3 Comments

Endorse launched last fall offering some great ways to get cash back on our everyday purchases both in stores and online.  Sadly they are suspending Endorse services for all users until they launch a new Endorse 2.0.  If you’ve been organizing and sending in your receipts, Endorse will honor everything they receive by Monday, January 30, 2012.

The good news is they will send out checks for everything received before January 30th on your account, even if your account balance is less than $25.

Endorse will be back and better than ever in 2012, and I’ll be working closely with them during the relaunch. I can’t wait to share Endorse 2.0 with you, but in the meantime, here’s a nice article that TechCrunch wrote about Endorse yesterday!

Pinecone Research Open Again (Paid Surveys)

by 7 Comments

The Pinecone Research application is open again right now! It’s been awhile since they’ve been open and I know many of you have been asking when they’d be taking applications again, so now is your chance.

Pinecone pays in a timely manner at a rate of $3 per survey via check or Paypal, and they often have product tests that go along with the surveys, so they’re definitely one of the best survey companies to get on board with.
