Just one piece of advice to go by here and always imo. "If it sounds too good to be true it likely is" .....That email has alarm bells going off BIGTIME LOL. 1- I would send it to Pinecone and 2- forward it to one of the emails provided by Wino2011.

Kind of a stupid question but here it goes.
Does anyone know how to calculate your points to see how much money you will earn?
I find this especially difficult if I'm saving up my points for a big purchase, how do you calculate the points to see how much money you will have?
for both 300points=$3 and for 500=$5 how do you calculate this?

for example I have 7,200 points.. do I divide 7,200 by 300? what about for the 500 point thing?
what's the math on both to see how much money my points will get?

-Thanks!

It works out to the same thing, if you divide 7,200 / 300 = 24 x$3 = $72 payout. 7,200/ 500 = 14 (rounded) x $5 = $70 payout with points remaining

[JDI007]

ooh so the payout would be $72..? I thought it was $24? why times it by $3?
sorry, not a math wiz, wish they made this a little simpler on their site.

If you want to cash out & get the total in cash or Paypal you will have to cash for $3 or 300 points & in the box where it has the number replace the one with a 24. Not sure how this would work for a check as they always sent the check after every survey. I still get $5 per survey...sounds like you are getting way more than me @ $3 a pop LOL.

[JDI007]

I'm not sure how much I get they don't tell you exactly you just see your points total..I think it's about 300 points or so per survey I get..I thought everyone get's the same amount..:/
anywho, I'm gonna cash out, they told me I need to cash out a couple times first before they can send it to my paypal, that kind of sucks..I wonder why they don't just offer paypal.

Invites are usually posted here when available. It's a closed membership site, and only opens up at certain times so unfortunately you can't just join anytime. It also depends on whether they need someone of your particular demographic (age, gender, ethnicity, etc). They sometimes send out an invite link to those of us who are current members, a link that we can share with others but personally I only get one about once a year.. I'd share with you but I don't have an invite right now. I would check back at a later date.

If you join Opinion Outpost there's a standing invite to Pinecone. Hope this helps. I'll give you a referral to OO is you want....just send me a PM.....Forget that OO does not have a referral system but still just sigh up with them & there's an open invite to Pinecone...You can always unsubscribe from OO once you get accepted into Pinecone.

I have a question about cashing out, I just got an invite to be able to cash out with paypal. so they told me to make sure the email address I provided is my paypal email address and during cash out the money will be transferred to my paypal account.

But..if I wanted to cash out with a check again..how do I do that? since it's now automatically set to paypal..I wish we had a choice everytime and it wouldn't be like this..

i wish i had an answer for you. have you tried emailing them?

[wino2011]

This may be a silly question but I can't seem to find the answer: How long does it take to get a email invite for Paypal? Is it a how long you've been with them/cash-out history/points you've accumulated?

[JDI007]

I'm not sure but for me, I ordered 10x $5.00 check then then after my order confirmation email the next day they sent me an invite for paypal and the day after that a confirmation that paypal is my selected choice.
So for me it was the next day. but I did order several cheques..I don't know if that matters or not.

@find.nicole I did email them several days ago, no response yet, just thought someone here knew
