I used to do this for about two years. A few months back, they offered me an option to either switch to $3/survey (plus some points raffles from time to time) from $5, or quit.
Since I decided $3 was not worth the effort, I chose the second option.
After a while I received from them an e-mail with an offer to sign up for some panel and do nothing, but get $15 annually for just being there. I did not bother.

they've been bugging me for many months about the $3/survey thing. finally, maybe a month ago, they said, either switch to $3, or quit. i switched to $3, and if i have some time, then i'll do them, but yeah, $3 is a little lean.

BTW, it's one thing to say there's a banner on the homepage of this site, but it's against the rules of pinecone research to link to any of their sign-up locations or to say, for instance, post on a board that you found their signup banner over at www. this that or the other .com .
They will cancel the person's account for linking or alerting folks like that. They are VERY conservative & selective with how they allow sign-ups. Also, don't ever divulge what your surveys are or what products they send you to test.
They actually have staff who look at message boards to be sure nobody is inappropriately linking or divulging info. If any post like that is found they will try to find out who the person is & delete the account.
Just letting y'all know how serious they are about keeping things selective.

The second rule about Pinecone Research is that you DO NOT TALK about Pinecone Research.
