Pinecone Research is accepting new members!

June 17, 2010 by

I have blogged about Pinecone Research before.  It is one of my favorite survey companies.  You receive $3 compensation (through Paypal or via check) for every survey that you qualify for.  The payment comes quickly, too!  I have been with them for several years now and they’re a great site.  You can only get “in” with them during periods when they are actively recruiting new members and I received an e-mail from them letting me know that they’re looking for more people! 

If you aren’t a member of Pinecone Research yet, now is your chance!  If you’re looking for other great survey sites, be sure to check out Opinion Outpost and Mysurvey.com.

Dear MELISSA:
**It’s not too late to take advantage of this special opportunity to refer households to apply for membership on the PineCone Research panel.**  If you have already assisted with this effort – thank you and please feel free to disregard this email. 
PineCone Research is growing and we invite you to help!   We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household. 
Do you know of households that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? If so, please FORWARD A COPY of this email to each household you would like to refer so that they may click on the registration link shown below.  That household should complete the registration form themselves and submit it.

Here is the link to the registration:

Remember, it’s important that your PineCone Research survey and product testing experiences remain confidential.

Get your $1 Super Fruit Smoothie at Jamba Juice today!

June 16, 2010 by

Today (6/16) only, get a $1 Super Fruit Smoothie at Jamba Juice (16 ounce size)!  Choose from flavors such as Yumberry, Acai, and Pomegranate.  While you’re there, you can also get Steel Cut Oatmeal for only $2 (it’s their Wednesday special).  This was listed on their Facebook page and is also listed on their main web page, but you still may want to check with your location to make sure they are participating.

We love Jamba Juice, but I can only justify buying it when there is a really good special.  The store near me is conveniently located near a Gymboree which sounds like a troublesome combo! 🙂
