PointClub vs Pinecone Research

One remarkable aspect of this research firm is the professionalism and user friendliness about their business.

We have had a few interactions with the company ever since I enrolled as a member, and every piece of my communications to the company has been greeted with polite and timely responses.

Once we had trouble with the PayPal side, and the customer service officer was so helpful that she seemed to take it upon herself to get the matter resolved.

There are many survey panels out there, but we’ve never come across another one that pulls off such excellent service.

PointClub certainly has a lot of surveys for you to take, but you may want to stay away from the "paid trial offers" if you want to stick to paid market research. While you will get paid for signing up for various offers, you may be required to pay for trial periods, which can get a bit tricky. If you do not cancel your trial within a particular time frame, you are charged for the amount of the service or product and may not receive enough compensation to make up the difference.

There is a chance you may not qualify to be part of the panel at any given time as PineCone will have certain needs for certain demographics.

Also, although they are accepting all males residing in the US currently we have gotten some responses that applications were turned down based on zip code although this is rare.
