I received a box the first few months after I signed up bit for the past six months or so the site states I'm not matched with anything. Even though, when I look through the current samples, my profile matches with everything available! When I was receiving samples, all I ever received was samples of pet food and tea ( which was not on my profile!). The past several months I have not been eligible for samples but my inbox has been loaded with emails from them stating if I go and complete these surveys or sign up for this or that, I can get samples or win things. Turned into a complete SCAM!

They are slow about shipping but if your order has been placed, they will get to it eventually. You can't just say that it's a scam because they ship late and sometimes you might not qualify for the samples. Also make sure to check your account for updates. They put samples up on tuesdays. I have recieved like 4 pinch me boxes and I have been waiting on tgis box with gum, sleeping pills, and biore skin treatment. I imagine they will ship in the next week making my wait about a month. 6-8 weeks is a good measurement of when to expect your box. You could always ignore their emails unless you are looking for a certain email from them (password reset) Don't bother eith the site's partners or offers. I also hate the wsy they hold giveaways. However the samples that you do get or legitimate products that are useful so long as you didn't lie on your surveys.

I signed up about a year ago and so far I have received 16 boxes. Most of the samples are small, but sometimes they give out full sized and half sized stuff. I see some people on here falsely claiming pinchme is a scam that only sends stuff to bloggers and youtubers with huge followings. I assure you, that couldn't be further from the truth. I am not a youtuber, I can't stand bloggers, I don't have a huge following, and yet in twelve months I have received 16 boxes, so you do the math. Here are some helpful tips: 1) On sample day (and time) you need to fully log out and back in a few times. Hitting refresh does absolutely nothing. 2) In between sample days, you need to log in and make sure everything is updated. I usually do that every week. 3) When giving feedback, be sure to do it on time and to put the name of the product in the paragraph. Doing these will raise your feedback score and increase your chances of getting more samples.

I love being a Pinchme Member! I am not always able to claim samples but when I am it amazes me the mix of items we get! I have purchased boxes for the same sized items or smaller and with Pinchme it's FREE! Sometimes I'm only able to get 1 sample while others get a box full but hey, I'm still grateful! Or like I said sometimes I'm not able to claim anything. When you become a Pinchme member, sometimes you might have to wait before claiming samples. It takes Patience and it's worth the wait! No! Anyone saying you only get samples if you are a YouTuber is 100% FALSE! It's helpful to read the FAQ's. I am a member also to other product testing services and other sampling services and All sampling Services have something in common. A thing called Demographics. That means the Brands that Partner with Pinchme? You may not be who the Brands are looking for. The area you live in may not be the target area or the Brands may only need a certain amount of people for sampling. For example. I have Cats. I'm not always able to get Cat Food Samples. I'm obsessed with Beauty Products. I'm not always able to get samples. It's Demographics. Pinchme is a great service and it's sad people have to spread disinformation. Be patient.

Dont listen to the malcontents... this site is great if you know how to use it. You have to be fast. When samples go live there are TONS of people claiming. Samples are limited so not every one gets it all the time. It goea by your demographic. The log verbose reviews know nothing of pinchme. These are the people that see something os free and think its their God given right to have everything their way. And if it doesnt go their way... complain about not having something they didnt have in the first pllace and didnt have to pay for should they have gotten it. There are not long lengthy review requirements. All you have to do is mention them and say you got to try it free. They dont force you. To buy anything. Sample day is once a month. People that complain should not be on sites like this

From what I have noticed is that this company sends their samples to people that have youtube video's with many subscribers and busy websites to promote people to sign up. They send those people a huge amount of samples to impress the viewers and get them to sign up. Pinchme (which hurts) wants you to click on their ad's for difference companies that take you through so many sign up companies. It is a real scam. That is their money maker. Don't hold your breath to receive any good samples, if they do send you anything it is items no one wants. I never expect anything from them accept drugs to make you sleep and maybe even bed bug killer, wow! No thank you Pinchme, you are a real pain..

I have been with PINCHme since March 2016 and today 5/28/17 when I logged into my account so I could make sure to complete surveys within the 30 days I got surprised with having SunDown Naturals B12 500MCG Gummies in my box and the next box isn't for another couple of weeks! This will be my 10th box and there were many times of no box and after reading up online I started updating my profile a couple of days before the next box was due.

I've checked pinchme for three months on sample days(and I'm there a minute before samples are supposed to become available and refresh the page when the clock turns, so its not bc they are running out) and have yet to 'qualify' for actual samples. Offered partner coupons for signing up with partner company. Waste of time! I believe that when they started out this was a great site, I heard wonderful things about it, but I think it's gotten away from them and is crap now.
