Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from PINCHme staff and previous consumers.
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.
Don't Bother, It's free. But they never have samples to give out. They send out emails once in a while. Of what they have. Usually 3 samples. But they never have anything good. The samples usually run out immediately. So you lucky to get anything. Good program, but if your service is to give out free samples to try & you have none to give out... What's the point. It was very Aggravating... I used the service for about 2 years I got about 1 sample a year... The best rewards program on the web is MyPoints.com you get points for reading email & for shopping online. Over the past 15 years or so I have cashed in way over $1k points well worth it... Hope this helps. My Best..
3 weeks roughly for mine to come but all depends on what it is and where it comes from
Nothing, I haven't had to pay shipping yet but if it's a big item, you may have to
Their format has now changed. It is no longer just new samples on Tuesdays, it is every day now. My advise, you don't have to wait for an email just log In and request the samples you are interested in trying. Go through the whole list,there is a variety of different samples to request. There are apps you can also download and in two weeks you get a survey on the game and anywhere from a $5-$10 amazon gift card. The games do not cost you any money. In the new platform between requesting samples and downloading games you accumulate pinchme coins. Once you reach 600 coins then samples will be shipped to you. You will accumulate the coins quickly. Pinchme still does not charge for shipping. All they ask for you to share and show you using the items on instagram and X (formerly twitter), and to fill out their reveiw from them and to post your honest reveiw on X and Twitter.
Before we had issues with the mail service my boxes usually came within 10 days. Now they come on a regular within 2-4 weeks.
It takes a long time, I've gotten boxes 6 months later. But each box was full of samples from trials I'd signed up for. Since it's free it's not bad at all.
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.
No they do not pay you for writing reviews. They have samples/full size products you can apply for and if chosen, you receive the product and write a review after receiving it and trying it. There is no monetary exchange.
