They dropped it to 5 coins a sample and then they dropped the samples to only 2 a day. And you need 600 to check out. They only give you 14 days to get your coins. The surveys I never get coins for. I don't want to play games to get samples. And they still owe me samples from back in October 2023. When I message them asking where they are, I get nothing but excuses. My sister tried to join under my code so I can get coins and they said they were no longer taking new people. I didn't "scratch your back" Pinchme
I really do like the samples, when I get them. They still owe me a lot of them from Oct, Nov, Dec Jan, Feb, and March. Other than that it's great. It's fun trying out the things I get. So far my favorite beside the neck massager that took months to get, was the TUKAMA Bath body oil. Great stuff. And I will be buying some of that. It takes a long time to get points and I lose out on a lot of what I qualify for. It used to be 10 coins and they dropped them to 5 coins. I have some things on my qualified list I know I won't be getting. I won't do the games or surveys because they never give me the coins. And then I get spam emails I can't get rid of. My sister tried to make an account and they said she couldn't because they are no longer taking new people. She's really upset about it. And I won't get the referral coins.
I'm really happy when I can qualify for samples I just there was more of approval to receive them. And also a way to my pay for shipping on items when we are struggling to obtain coins. Other than that I love the program it's helped me get to know products I've never used.
I have used pinchme.com for a while now and have had a great experience with them. You apply for products your interested in and you earn coins, once you've earned 600 coins your freebie box ships to you. There are many freebies such as beauty products, jewelry, products for your animals, food, vitamins, and even larger items like vacuum cleaners and coffee makers. I've never qualified for a large item, however, I have received numerous free boxes from them. Receiving the boxes does take some time. I personally love to try products out before purchasing and I mainly do it for the beauty products. I'm able to test the product out before I purchase and leave an honest review for others. Thank you pinchme.com
Forever greatful for pinchme.com it's helped me so much and should Forever be a trusted site. I've never been more happy with other sites!
I've been a member of Pinchme for many years now, and have received many wonderful FREE samples to test. It's super easy to register. Just answer a few questions about your preferences, hop on the site every day to apply to try each sample, and you're on you're way to free samplesnin your mailbox! All they ask is for your honest review upon testing the product.
I love pinchme. I get a lot of great samples from them. I get to give them my honest feedback on the products that I get. They always have really great samples. They always have something for everyone.
I love getting samples from pinchme. They always match me with products that are perfect for me and I get to try new things before I purchase them.
I've been a PinchMe member for quite a long time. Getting the points to checkout your free samples can be a bit frustrating, but it's definitely worth it! I love all the products o receive from PinchMe. I plan on continuing to be a member for as long as I can!
I have used PinchMe since about 2000. A few months ago they overhauled the website. PinchMe is easy to use and track what products you qualified to get. In the last 4 months, I have received 3 different Ilia products worth $50. Each, about 10 chapstick and lip glosses, about a dozen face/hand/foot masks, a couple dozen food items, etc.
I've been a pincher since 2018, and the company has only gotten better!
My products come quickly, and it's very easy to fill out the info on the site. The products are always high quality!
Free trials of products and magazines. Lots of different things snack, beauty products and personal hygiene plus more
Great Samples! I love trying new things, and I have by using PinchMe. It can be a bit tedious to keep applying and actually reach your 600 coin goal in order to ship out any samples you've qualified for before the time runs out and you lose them. There are ways to earn coins to help out with this, but after signing up for so many things I am starting to run out of ways to reach that goal in time. Overall, a great site if you have the time to apply for all the samples. Takes a bit of patience
I have been a part of the pinchme committee for some time now and I am hooked! I fill out questionnaires applying for samples to try and if I am chosen all that is asked in return is my honest opinion of the product. It's that easy!
I started using PinchMe around October of 2023. They have a broad range of samples and they make it easy to obtain them by questionnaires. I have referred a few people to their site and they have all been pleased with the experience.
I have enjoyed the PinchMe website, I have received quite a few great samples. When I first started, they didn't do the earning coins for shipping so that has taken some time to get used to but I have received more samples since that was put into place.There is a bit of a wait to get your samples but so far I have gotten most of the promised products. Still waiting on more.
I have had a lot of luck on PinchMe, not only have I received a lot of smaller samples I have also received several full-size samples. A vast variety of samples and products.
The website is easy to use and there are a lot of free samples to try. Many of these samples are good and I have tried many of them.
I Love PinchMe! They are Fabulous! I've been a Member for a Long time now. I get so many Great Samples and products in exchange for taking surveys and leaving reviews. When my husband sees the mailman coming with a PinchMe Box he gets excited for me!
I have been with Pinchme for a couple years now and I love it. They send out full size samples a lot and I just love trying them out and giving my honest opinion. I like how they changed they way you get samples from the beginning. I would sometimes miss getting samples because the website had too much traffic or all the samples were snagged up. Now, it's a lot better earning samples. Keep up the great work Pinchme!
I started in December 2023 excited about this site and what it offered. I started answering the questions for the products that I wanted to try and give a review after trying it. I got 3-4 items a day giving 5 coins for everyone that you applied for answering about 10 questions. Then I finally got qualified to receive a product. You need 600 coins to get a box sent to you. So I entered everything that was offered to me. It has been almost 6 months and I still have not received anything. I have completed 11 boxes that are on the way but never received. When you sent a message to help asking questions, you get a generated response.
You will see that you have to do surveys to get more coins in hopes of getting 600 coins in time before you items expire. You will do hours of surveys and get nothing. You don't qualify, error after and hour of answering the same questions over and over.
You will never qualify for a nice product. You usually qualify for candy, crackers or maybe lipstick.
The site is constantly freezing up and has errors. Look at the other reviews. It is a scam. I hope someone can shut this down soon.
I have been a member of the Pinchme community for over 6 years now and love every moment. I have been a member through many different changes. Ways to obtain coins for products have changed through the years but have gotten better with time. It may take a minute to obtain coins by doing surveys or applying for products/offers, but the coins do add up and you will get a Pinchme box in your mailbox in no time. Some are just sample sizes but from time to time you do get a full-size product and it's all worth it. I will keep being a loyal member and look forward to receiving many more samples. Just remember to always review your samples and Pinchme will reward you with more great samples.
I love the variety of samples and that you can get full sized products and coupons for totally free products. It's an interesting way to find to brands and companies to try. However, I have had an issue where I was told I was getting things by mistake and it takes a while to get things. Customer service needs a lot if work as does the section where you earn coins as most links are broke or don't reward you. All in all ok site though.
I love this site. The coin programs can be hit or miss but the samples to your door never disappoints. They always have the best companies!
Answer: I recently signed up on PINCHme and so far I'm happy. I had to answer a few questions (what products I like) but it took less than 10 minutes. I get some emails from them, like one every few days. I just delete them. I haven't got any from third parties. Today they released some of their free samples (they supposedly do every two weeks) and I got to order 4.
Answer: It takes a LONG time--over 6 months for some things and then when you get the items, you will be sorely disappointed to have everything tossed loosely in a box. Pinchme is no longer worth it, imo
Answer: Yes, you're fortunate that you can't sign up. They have scammed a lot of people out of everything they put into this site. Forget about it.
Answer: You;re right. They are not a legitimate sample site anymore, nor are they keeping their word. Read all the bad reviews and you'll understand.
Answer: They email the gift cards to the email address you gave them when you signed up with them. It can take up to three weeks to receive them. If it's longer than that just email them and the agents will correct it.
