Here is an updated application link at Pinecone Research, which is again accepting new members. (May expire at any time, so apply now if you’re interested!) Looks open to all, but only one person per household can sign up. Link via Realm of Prosperity.

PineCone Research remains one of the better paying and reliable survey companies, with a payout of $3 (check or PayPal) for each 15-minute online survey. The hardest part is getting accepted, as they only take applications intermittently. Some users have reported an increase in unpaid “weed-out” surveys, while others seem to remain happy. I got kicked out a while ago for missing some surveys when I moved, so I’m afraid I can’t provide any comment.

The four survey sites that I have been most active with nowadays are NFO MySurvey, Opinion Outpost, BzzAgent, and SurveySavvy. I like it them because they consistently offer me paid survey opportunities, they pay out reliably (important!), and they don’t mind if I don’t do every single survey offered (unlike Pinecone which does).

I shared my thoughts on Pinecone and paid surveys in general here. I call them Bored Money – not terribly efficient but you can do it at your leisure and occasionally get to try some neat things like shampoo, dog food, new soda flavors, and once even got a new $100 Sonicare toothbrush to keep.

  1. Link not found… apparently that didn’t last long.

    Err, never mind, the link only works if you go to the source site first.

  2. Unfortunately many of these sites do not want the opinions of the mature consumer. I guess our money or buying habits don’t matter to them even though we usually have more money to spend than their focus groups.

  3. I am a member of Pinecone and I have been seeing a survey about every other week.

    On another note, has anyone here ever heard about Knowledge Networks?

  4. big fan of pinecone, although it’s the only one i have tried. quick turnaround on pay, and they pay you even if you are not a good match for the survey
