PINCHme

Do NOT even sign up for this site! You will never be able to get anything because of competition.
They give out samples to fill your box at 12:00 and the site is so over run they cant even keep up with the traffic. All this site is, is a way to mine people for data so they can sell it and make mega money. TOTAL SCAM

BELOW IS A SCREENSHOT OF WHERE I ENDED UP WHEN I TRIED TO FILL MY BOX WITH THE BIG 4 ITEMS THAT WERE OFFERED TO ME. NEVER AGAIN!

I decided to write this review after reading the most recent one claiming it's a scam, because it's really not! I've only been a member since the beginning of december 2018 and have won a $250 gift card a few times, a huge perfume sample set from sephora, plus the boxes i get for having 3,000+ points every week, all thanks to the QWIZme surveys. They take no more than 20 minutes to do - typically 10-15 minutes, sometimes not more than 5. I can rack up 1,000+ points a day in just a couple hours of my time. It's very unfortunate that other people aren't having the same kind of experience with PINCHme and the QWIZme surveys that i have but oh well, more opportunities to win $250-500 and exclusive beauty products for me.:-) i also uploaded a screenshot of my giftly account to prove that PINCHme does indeed reward you handsomely for participating in enough surveys.

Pinchme is not a scam I used to get fullsize bottles of shampoo and conditioners but now they're being cheap and giving you the small packets you can find inside magazines. That being said the only reason I'm giving them 1 star review is because they started doing this b. S calling QWIZME where you have to do surveys just to qualify for sample boxes. Before when I first signed up you had to put in your demographics and things you like and etc but now none of that matters and you wont get a sample box because you didnt get 400 tokens? The reason thats irritating is you can fill out as many surveys as you can but you either wont qualify fully for the survey and trying to get to 400 tokens is a joke it will keep saying lets find other surveys for you to take when really you're wasting your time! If you got alot of time on your hands to be taking several surveys at once to try to qualify goodluck to you.

Not everything is explained in there video, so I reached out via messenger to understand this program better. All I kept getting was watch the video. The video does not explain that monthly you have to sign up for things, it also does not tell you about RewardMe, SampleMe, WalletMe or any of them. Very disappointed in their customer service as apparently I wasn't worth their time.

I signed up about a year ago and so far I have received 16 boxes. Most of the samples are small, but sometimes they give out full sized and half sized stuff. I see some people on here falsely claiming pinchme is a scam that only sends stuff to bloggers and youtubers with huge followings. I assure you, that couldn't be further from the truth. I am not a youtuber, I can't stand bloggers, I don't have a huge following, and yet in twelve months I have received 16 boxes, so you do the math. Here are some helpful tips: 1) On sample day (and time) you need to fully log out and back in a few times. Hitting refresh does absolutely nothing. 2) In between sample days, you need to log in and make sure everything is updated. I usually do that every week. 3) When giving feedback, be sure to do it on time and to put the name of the product in the paragraph. Doing these will raise your feedback score and increase your chances of getting more samples.

I used to use this site and periodically got a fun sample box in the mail. They changed the way they do the offers (I'm not sure exactly when but more recently) and you must sign up for an "offer" before you can "checkout" your sample(s). That would be fine except you go through this LONG process and then it still won't go to "checkout" your samples. But... you immediately get a bunch of spammy emails/texts so I know the "offer" went through. I contacted customer service and they're less than helpful. If they make good, I'll adjust my review, but I'm not holding my breath. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ONE!

Dont listen to the malcontents... this site is great if you know how to use it. You have to be fast. When samples go live there are TONS of people claiming. Samples are limited so not every one gets it all the time. It goea by your demographic. The log verbose reviews know nothing of pinchme. These are the people that see something os free and think its their God given right to have everything their way. And if it doesnt go their way... complain about not having something they didnt have in the first pllace and didnt have to pay for should they have gotten it. There are not long lengthy review requirements. All you have to do is mention them and say you got to try it free. They dont force you. To buy anything. Sample day is once a month. People that complain should not be on sites like this

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!

I haven't been able to order the last 6 or so products. The website is constantly broken. Very time consuming and annoying. Wish there was a '0' rating.

Once created the account, I can't even login after logging out. Sent an email to Pinchme and the replied saying they have reset the password but still not working...
A waste of time...

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.

Read the terms and conditions carefully. They have full access to your Facebook log in credentials among other things. If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

You sign up because you think (from all the pictures they put up) that you're gonna get full-sized, high-quality products to try out. In reality, what you get is a pack of two breath mints and a pack of salad dressing the same size as the ones they give you at McDonalds. If you want to (allegedly) be considered to maybe possibly be sent full-size, quality products in the future, you have to sacrifice time and dignity writing flowery reviews where you tell the world how "Wow! Johnson & Johnson brand No-More Tears has truly made all the difference in our family life, and has even brought us closer together! Thank you, Johnson & Johnson No-More Tears!" And then maybe they'll think about sending you products that are actually useful.

Seriously, this is a waste of time. If you like samples that much and don't care which ones you get, go walk through the mall and ask for them -- or better yet, email companies directly, so you at least have a chance of getting a sample you can use. Otherwise, this is just one box after another of laughable disappointment. Don't be swayed by the obviously fake five-star reviews here and on FB.

I signed up did the profile thing, was offered free samples (MONTHS AGO) that have not shown up. What has shown up is TONS of extra unwanted emails form their partner company's that i OPTED OUT OF RECEIVING. Yet still receive. This place is just a data farming scam company. Be weary!

PINCHme is the only site that I've came across that has actually sent me a box of real legit samples... I know the samples are samples and not the full product but it wouldn't be a sample if it was a full product and think about how many people order these boxes monthly. If they mailed people real full size items then they probably wouldn't still be around, if anyone can tell me a better FREE sample box site then please feel free to. This sample site is definitely NOT a scam!

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.

First of all, ignore the negative reviews. You're NOT required to take surveys in order to get a box (and any dumbass who says otherwise should be ignored on anything they say since it's clear that they fail at reading and at life in general). And yes, you may be passed over for samples if you don't fit the demographic and/or aren't active on PinchME. See, the premise of PINCHME is to provide samples to users in exchange for feedback. If you don't provide feedback, of course you won't get anymore samples. If you only log into get samples, of course you won't be considered active. If you want to be a freeloader, there are plenty of companies that'll do that for you. If you want a PinchME box, be prepared to actually put in effort (gasp!).

This Moroccanoil Blonde Perfectting Purple Shapoo Was sent to me for free by Pinchme to try and give my honest opinion. I got it through the mail I was so excited and I went to wash my hair very first thing. As I put it in my hair I thought it might turn my hair purple. As I rinsed it I felt my hair. And it was so silky. It felt like I had new hair. When I blow dried it it looked so helthy and brought back my sheen. I want every blonde one to try it. I recemend this for blonde it will brighten your hair.and this says this is for blondes. Not tring to leave anyone out.

A simplified explanation for this site is this:

You fill out surveys to earn points and can spend those points on products/samples.

The problem is this:

When you click on a survey, they have you answer some questions to see if you're the target audience they are looking for to answer their survey. Many times, you don't qualify, but even if you do, the next (and most annoying) issue comes up.

If you manage to start a survey, you can be anywhere in it (I've been 97% complete) after 15 minutes of answering questions, and if you answer a question with an answer they don't like or want, they say you didn't qualify and you get NO points for it.

Basically, the preliminary questions are pointless because they can end your survey once they have all the information they want and you get no reward for it.

They get millions of free survey answers without rewarding the survey takers by cutting you off after 10 to 20 minutes of wasting your time! I've had PinchMe for 2 years and am on it monthly. I've only gotten 2000 points total.

It is not a good use of your time, as the scam lies within their habit of waiting until you're basically done giving them their research answers, then they say you didn't fit their target audience. (I feel if you pass the preliminary questions, they should no longer be allowed to back out and must reward you for the time you spent. This is not the case.)

I've been a member for awhile and have received full size samples from them BUT nothing over the past few months due to the fact you now have to purchase something thats totally stupid or you have to put a gaming app on your phone which takes up a lot of space so if you don't have room on your phone for this you don't get the"FREE" sample or if you just don't want those apps or purchase what their offering you won't get the "REE" sample. Also if your phone gets a virus due to those apps, tbey say they are not responsible, its in their Terms... So how ""EE" are these samples. There are alot of sample sites that don't make you purchase anything, they just want an honest review.

I reviewed orbit gum, orbit gum is like the best gum in the world it make yoyr breath smell great and it is just so easy to chew amd relaxing
I also review hidden valley dressing it is so fantastic by it self and with salad I also reviewed night kwill and it really helped me. I just eant to say thank you so much pinch me

I Joined PINCHme so I could get the free sample boxes and write reviews, but since I joined 3 years ago I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANYTHING! I personally DO NOT recommend whatsoever. On top of all that, the website itself is set up weird and its tricky to do anything and it constantly doesn't let me make a purchase. It seems like its all rigged. Its a JOKE! Unfortunately its making me rate at least one star but If it was left up to me i would give PINCHme a NEGATIVE 5 STAR RATING! I tried to give it another chance after chance but I'm now currently trying to sign out and never have to deal with PINCHme again!

I just tried the Greenies Breath Buster a sample that PINCHme has sent me and my dog and I love it! He loves chewing on it and I love the fact that he has good breath! I definitely going to the store and purchasing them now!
