“Pinchme has positives and negatives”

Sue R.
7/4/24

Without Pinchme, I wouldn't have tried half the products that they have made me aware of. With that said, I wish I had opportunity to earn more coins to qualify for more products, but half the offers listed have bad links that do not allow me to download the apps to earn extra points. Also, the listed links to earn points by taking surveys always leads to a message that I'm unqualified to take them, so they are a waste of time to click on to try to earn additional points. I do appreciate the opportunity to try different products however. One additional criticism I have is it takes forever sometimes to receive the products that you qualify to try. I'm talking months from the time you qualify to when you receive the box containing those products.

“Still waiting almost a year for the free box that was just sent.”

I was told that my free Pinchme sample boxes were mailed April 15 and January 13 2024. Still haven't got them. Maybe their being sent on a boat around the world and will take another 1 or 2 years. Such a fake place.

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!

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.

Tip for consumers:
Be sure to update your profile a couple of days before a new box comes out. Some sample sites will give a heads up to what is in the box so you can adjust your profile accordingly. Also sometimes when you log in and it says no samples available be sure to refresh the page just in case.

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.

Taste was flavorful and good but a little tough chewing. I'm sure kids would have no problem but with older adults, kinda difficult..

This site does work and you get to try things that can help you in alot of ways..
