I got a screener for another $30 Interactive survey from Greenfield online last night. They were a little later than usual to let me know that I made the cut since the survey is tonight at 8pm and I just found out, but woohoo none the less. This will be my 3rd $30 survey with them since October.
I also received a package from Pinecone Research. I was expecting a check, but it looks like I actually get to test the product that was associated with the last survey first and then I get paid! I'm not complaining at all, I actually think that's super awesome! I can't discuss it, but anything that is free is awesome to me haha
No sooner did I write than I got another check from them for another $3. After comparing the survey numbers, it seems that the product testing is a separate thing from the survey, and I actually get paid for both! Pretty awesome overall! $3 for the survey, some products to test, and then another $3 for that as well (I assume). (Proof of Payment)
If you haven't signed up with Greenfield and Pinecone, I'd highly recommend it.

I tried signning up for Pinecone on Monday, but haven't heard back. It looks like the signup page you linked to is down right now. Just signned up for Greenfield as well, $30 interactive surveys ... mmm, I hope I can participate in some of those! =D
Doh! Thanks for that Monika, it looks like it is down. It was up yesterday when I checked so I'm not sure if it's a technical difficulty or if they've just closed recruiting for the time.
It usually takes some time to hear back from them though so I wouldn't worry. I honestly don't think I even got a welcome email, I think the only emails I've gotten from them are the invites to participate in their surveys haha
As for Greenfield, some people don't like the site but I keep it around for the Interactive Surveys because they pay so well. Even at $30 for 90 minutes - that's $20 an hour! I've also seen one for $50 but I clicked the wrong thing (was distracted by my son) and accidently DQd myself!
I've been with Pinecone for over four years. I miss the $5.00 per survey payment! But $3 here and there isn't so bad.
I was with Greenfield before(long while back tho), and all I remember were surveys for contest entries. I don't know if I was just too impatient or the interactive surveys are new, but if they offer enough of those I'll be happy I signed back up. =)
LOL it's still like that to an extent, and I have a hard time qualifying for the regular paid surveys they send out as well. In two months, I've qualified for two $1 surveys!
The Interactive Surveys seem to be right up my alley though. I've been paid for two for $30 each, and just finished my third tonight! I can't wait for it to post so I can cash it out haha
Those are really the only reason I haven't given up on Greenfield lol
Tonya, wow $5 would be awesome! I'm still happy with $3 each, especially because they're so prompt, but I wouldn't mind if they went back to the old pay haha
I received that invite for the 30 dollar PT, but the site was like boggled down and wouldn't load right away so I waited around and it was full. Wished they would only send to so many ppl and not thousands, if that's what they are doing lol
Aw that stinks p0ptart!
I always make sure that I go to the site early. They have to over invite to make sure that enough people show up and I'm always super careful to get there early so that I won't be cut lol
It's weird that it wouldn't load though. I had trouble the first time because the client wouldn't load right but after a few tries it did. Other than that I've never had any trouble.
How do you get on the interactive panels? Do they email invite like the sweepstakes surveys or is there something else I need to do? Also, do you have to do the sweepstake surveys as well, or can you just wait it out for the paid ones? So far I've gotten a couple emails but only sweepstakes surveys.
The opportunities get emailed out to you just like their other surveys do. The subject line will look the same as usual something like (Survey #)-US - Survey on Consumer topics
When you open it though, it will be noticably different and will tell you that it's for a screener for an interactive survey worth $x if you're chosen.
I personally don't do any of the sweepstakes surveys unless it says they are only 5 minutes long, then I figure I may as well. Every once in a while I'll do a 10 minute sweepstakes survey but not often.
Typically I keep to paid only haha
