When I first joined PinchMe.com I was getting regular samples almost every month minus a few here and there. Then all of a sudden for months at a time I was getting the message "Member profile doesn't meet the criteria" or some bs like that. Funny how this month it was diaper rash cream and things I should have qualified for, but didn't. I'll be canceling my account. Sometimes you get stuff you ordered and sometimes it never shows up. When you contact them, they tell you if your samples don't make it to you, then basically sucks to be you because they don't keep enough in their warehouse to replace what you never got. I'll be deleting my account for sure.

I joined about a month ago because I saw a Youtuber talking about how wonderful this site is. I just today received my first pack and everything in it is mini samples! They aren't even the size you get at the store when receiving a "gift with purchase". Funny thing... on the address label it had my name OR current resident. What! Apparently this company doesn't even care who gets their products! Looking at all of the reviewers who love this site, I suppose I don't fit their demographic anyway. I'm in my 40's and that alone means I most likely am past the point of wanting/needing most of these products. Bye Bye Pinch Me!

I've been a member of pinchme.com for a few years now. When it first started, there were samples every week and you could just choose whatever you'd like. I used to get all kinds of fun stuff and full size samples like makeup, nail polish, soaps, snacks, candy, treats for my dog, etc. Ever since they made me make a "profile," I hardly ever get offered any samples now because my profile "doesn't match the brand partners' offers." Really disappointing! They now offer samples about once a month so if I don't qualify then I don't get anything. Sounds like they've got several hundred thousand people using the site so I guess that's part of the problem. But hey, I got some great free stuff in the past so I can't complain too much

I've been a member on PinchMe for over a year, and received multiple boxes... sometimes with one or two items, other with four or five. It's first come first serve, and 12 pm ET on the dot. With limited samples available and thousands of users, of course samples will go fast! I completely understand that unlike many people! Plus, you need to qualify to receive samples. Complete your profile. Be more open about subjects and maybe you'll receive more. If you put that you have no pets, you will not get pet samples. If you put that you are on a certain diet, you will not receive samples that include what you're avoiding. It's really a simple concept. And don't get discouraged if your box doesn't look like the ones they post on Instagram & Facebook. Those are ones that bloggers receive because they know they will get more advertisement for the samples! Also if you don't complete your surveys after receiving samples on time that can also lower your chances. If you follow everything I said, I swear you will at some point get a box in the mail! It's completely free. Not 10-30 per month, no info is shared to other places, not a scam or anything. They do however advertise other sites on their page that can be scammy but just don't click the advertisements and you'll be good.

I signed up for PINCHme and was not able to claim samples that day. 3 or 4 days later I get another email notifying me to claim samples. So I did. Claimed samples 10/1 Samples Shipped 10/26. Still haven't received them. I have until 12/27 to post my opinions. The next Free Sample Tuesday comes around and lo and behold no samples available. This time I didn't get to claim any samples 3-4 days later. And now all of a sudden you can sign up for PINCHme Plus and have the option to pay $3.99 to "unlock free samples the day before Free Sample Tuesday". If you ask me that takes the meaning of FREE completely out of the equation. Let's see if I get samples after I receive my Sample Boxes and post my opinion...

I tried to sign up with my e mail address that I have been successfully using since 2004, and the Pinchme geniuses wouldn't let me sign up claiming "email address invalid". Now their representatives, who cannot spell and possess incredibly poor grammar skills, keep pestering me via my e mail address that they, themselves claimed is invalid. They are obviously a scam that is fishing for people's personal information to sell to other companies.

I joined a few months ago, they tell you to pick up to five well everything was gone but 5 items. So i picked the 5. It took so long to come in i forgot about it (nearly a month). One of the items i did like but its expensive in the store, i thought great i will buy it they sent a coupon, but when i checked the coupon it was expired. Then when i went to do the reviews it took over a month before it confirmed i got the items so i could do the reviews. Then when i finished that it gave a date for new stuff nearly 3 months after picking the first items but that day came and it said i didn't qualify for items and ever sense its either out or i don't qualify. Buttttttttttt they have partner offers i can try while i wait. Pinchme is a scam site to make you sign up for other sites like credit cards and other sites that want your credit card #'s.

I've noticed alot of people saying they are mad they don't get them every month, but honestly, I free samples, be lucky youre getting anything AT ALL for free regardless of how frequent. I have been an active member for a few years and have probably gotten about 6 boxes with about 5-6 samples inside. If you don't mind being patient and accepting that you wont get their LIMITED AMOUNT samples each month (I mean honestly they have a lot of users and clearly not enough for everyone to get some every single month) then you will love this site.

So, I read great reviews about this site and signed up for it. I even made one of my friends sign up for it. I visited the site right on time when the Sample Day arrived. I could only see the past samples which were out of stock, My friend was facing the same problem as well. So I logged on to their Facebook page and I see tons of other users are having the same issue. Apparently none of the people who signed up to the site recently got an invite for the new samples.

If I don't get to try new samples how am I supposed to provide my feedback. Thanks Pinchme for wasting one hour of my life!

Edit- I also found out that a few users got to try the free samples one day ahead by paying 3.99$. If you want users to pay for samples then you shouldn't advertise yourself as FREE Samples.

I signed up for pinchme.com about four months ago. The first month, Ingot a small (1 or 2 punces) bag of coffee and a small sample of shampoo. Filled out the product reviews, got a bunch of "reward" points. Not bad. Month two, all I got was the same coffee sample. Did the review, got points. Go to reward points, I have close to 8000, to see what I could get...
"We're introducing even more ways to get rewarded on PINCHme!
Don't worry, while we're working on the new PINCHme rewards, we'll be tracking each and every point you earn and updating your total points at the top of this page. In the meantime here are the ways you can keep earning points and see more samples!"
What? No way to spend the points?!?!
The breaking staw was now, for the last two months when I've logged in, all I get is,
"Unfortunately there are no samples available to you at this time."
What is this? A product review website, with no products to review, no rewards to spend your earned points on, nothing. It's a trash site now.
Don't even bother with this site!

Free Products to your door each week. What a bunch of Bull. So there samples that's cool & fine... But every week like their Promo Video states. I'm lucky to get stuff every few months. How can you be a Product reviewer site when you have no products to review. Oh and there offers are Junk & Crap. If you do find and offer you like I get "This Offer is Over" Arrrrgh. So frustrating. Pinch Me is a Dead Dog Don't Bother... If your looking for a Real Rewards Site go to Mypoints.com Been using them for years. You get Points for shopping & reading Emails. Cash the Points in for Real Gift Cards...
