PINCHmeReviews 392

Oh my goodness Id like to pinch them. This site needs help. I qualify for samples all the time but have only recived a few. Id like to choke them, they make you jump through hoops to get samples. Plus it takes forever to get it. Sits at Post Office too way too long. Hey Pinchme.com, customers are complaing. I give you and F on your site. I log in and get nothing is not right. I log in on time and cant get the samples. Why? You are a bunch of noodle heads sitting around doing nothing.! Oh If i could help you I would. Your site stinks.! Do your customers right.!

I don't even know why I bothered making a profile for Pinch me, they're an absolute trash of a website & I'd give them a zero rating if I could. First of, I found out about it on some article of a women saying it was sooo great but not I see they only send boxes to people who are popular bloggers or you tubers. So far I've only went on this website one time and my box is yet to arrive (shipped Sept. 30, you do the math). Never again, I won't even bother reviewing the items because I just went on for my second time and I already don't "qualify" for samples. Bunch of BS of a website.

I signed up for PinchMe about a month ago. I wasn't ever qualified for any samples. So, I decided it's time to give up. I asked to remove my email (the unsubscribe button at the bottom) and what do you know, THEY STILL KEEP SENDING EMAILS. I emailed their support and asked to be removed with an automated response about verifying account/blah blah blah. STAY AWAY. They will forever spam your email. I even deleted my account and am still receiving. I never leave reviews, but this one pissed me off. SCAM COMPANY.

It's sad to see so many poor reviews from people who don't understand how the site works. I often see people complain that they don't get samples hey qualify for. IE: I have a cat with joint issues and saw a sample for cats with joint issues and didn't get it! What they're not understanding is they don't bases qualifications on simply one factor. The companies that use Pinch Me to find testers for their products don't say "find us people with cats with joint problems." They say something much more similar to "find us moms of three or more who are single, who have at least two cats with joint issues and make no more than $60K per year." These companies seek out VERY specific demographics. So just because you assume you qualify doesn't mean you do.

Also, in order to qualify EVERY month you have to update your profile EVERY month. Not too much to ask for for 100% free samples. Samples are also released every month not one to three months as another reviewer mentioned. Yes the site can be hard to access on sample day because so many people are trying to get samples. You need to be logged in and ready at noon on sample day for your best chances.

As for people who have been "with PinchMe for years" and are complaining you haven't qualified recently... All I can say is wow! This is not a company you've been supporting with purchases. This is a company who has been sending you free samples with free shipping. They don't owe you for years of purchases and loyalty. As well, to those complaining that new people qualify and you haven't recently... You're really complaining that someone new is getting a chance to get a box that you've gotten for years? Really?

If you're truly upset with Pinch Me it will do you far more good to write to them and ask them to expand the companies they're sampling to include more people. They don't control what the companies are looking for. Try to remember that and try to remember you have no idea the stipulations these companies set for testing their products.

I qualified for 8 samples this month and managed to get 7 in my cart before one sold out. So I don't know why people are claiming you only get to pick two or three.

Bottom line, Pinch Me is a wonderful company. People don't bother to find out how they work before becoming upset. The fact that people find so much to complain about in a company that sends you totally free items with completely free shipping baffles me. I for one am very grateful!

I'm only taking one star because 4-6 weeks shipping is a bit of a bummer.

At the beginning of each month you get an email showing different samples you'll be able to choose from for your box. The first 2 months you qualify for a lot of samples but only get to choose a few. You then have to wait a month to get your sample box. After the second month you qualify for less and less, even if there's something shown in the email review of what you could get that you should qualify for (ex: I have 2 older dogs with joint problems, they showed a sample for dog treats to help with joints. On Facebook people comment that they qualified for it but I didn't qualify). I've been a member since January and haven't qualified for any samples since March, even though I filled out all the surveys I was told to. I give this site one star because they promise samples but give you none.

I first heard about it and got excited, you have to create a member profile and answer a bunch of questions, I was only eligible for ONE sample and it took a month to ship and is still not here. Today is sample day and they sent me a email saying I won't be eligible for any of the sample but I can sign up to receive a magazine subscription, WHAT?!. They send good samples to people on YouTube so they can review and make people come to the site and sign up but they don't offer any of the things they say! Such BS!

Let me give you a few reasons why pinchme is the worst sample company out there... First off you have to wait 1-3 months while they send you a million updates on social media about how exciting and awesome the upcoming samples will be and they show off a bunch of cool items then once "sample day" comes and you check your sample page you either don't qualify for anything or you qualify for something you will never even use such a zzquil or you will receive over 5 sample offers and when you select "add to my cart" you get sent back to the home page saying "you don't qualify for any samples" then... You write them a support email or comment on their Facebook page and they either don't get back to you or they respond with "better luck next time" or "you don't match our sample criteria." It's a waste of time and you will get all excited over possibly getting awesome samples but don't hold your breath because most likely you will get nothing. Your more likely to win the lottery then to actually get anything from pinchme

I used to get samples from this site quite often and I always left reviews. Now, I am lucky to even be able to log in in on their sample days and when I do don't qulaify for anything. I. logged in today and saw several samples available to me. As I went to claim them, they disappeared and in was told I don't qualify for anything. Really, pinchme? What happened to the samples I just put in my cart? This happens to me most of the time now. I'm about done with their BS.

Found out about this through youtube and signed up. Took over 20 minuets for a confirmation email to be sent and, the first time, I filled it out honestly and I was only eligable for nyquil despite not having selected anything that said I would need that. Then, because i thought "Well maybe its just because Im a dude that they arent showing me thigns like skin care and beauty". NOPE. Signed up with entirely different information, atempting to cater to what their brands are searching for target audience wise. Still only the damned nyquil. Most bull $#*! thing ever. Honestly would have preferred to watch on of those 4 hours long videos that never get to the point they claim they will.

I too decided to try Pinch Me product reviews after it being recommended by a you tuber. I do like to try new products but it is frustrating to purchase many times only to end up throwing them out. This seemed like a good way to try things. I received my first box... only qualifying for 4 items. They are each a one day sample. Now how can anyone make any reviews on a product using it once!? Pinch me now has all MY personal info and what do I get... SCAMMED. I don't appreciate this or the fact that the You Tuber was duped into passing along the recommendation. VERY BAD PR!
