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.
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.
They have a D with the better business someone NEEDS TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM OR JUST ANY LAWSUIT for that matter! You will never get your free sample or anything and the tell you flat out if you pay with a prepaid gift card you dont qualify
Tip for consumers:
Dont use pinch me!!!!!!
Products used:
They never sent any free samplies
Is anyone actually receiving samples from this site? If so, whom? I'm beginning to think that if you aren't twenty pregnant and rich it's a pointless endeavor.
I am very upset with Pinch Me, I created a profile last evening and immediately started receiving text messages and today 1/31/23, I received over 30 calls, did Pinch Me sell my info, I was so angry, I don't want to have ANYTHING MORE TO DO WITH PINCH ME! I can't believe I fell for such nonsense with Pinch Me! I'm over it and I received 1 free product 6 months ago and nothing since! In deleting my account!
Tip for consumers:
Don't sell people's information

You're never gonna get your packages they will say it got lost in the mail. 10 times in a row I've made it to the end of a survey and it said oh no you didn't fit.
This is not a scam. They've sent me a sample box almost every month for the past 2 years. I receive anywhere from 2-5 samples each month. They send SAMPLES. From reading these reviews, I guess most people don't know the definition of SAMPLE. A sample is not a full size product and nowhere does it say free full size products. I do however occasionally get coupons for free full size products to buy at the store. They only give out samples ONE Tuesday per month. The dates are listed on their website as sample Tuesday varies. You must keep your PinchMe profile updated and YOU MUST submit your reviews of all samples within the time period of 30 days of receiving your samples or you will become ineligible to receive anymore. It is a little time consuming but worth it to me. I get to try products i may not buy or even hear of. Samples include shampoo, condition, lotion, moisturizers, pet food/snacks, kids snacks, allergy/sleeping medicine, tea, etc. If you dont receive samples right away, just keep trying.
I have been using the sight for about 4 months now, I get on and claim my samples when they are available. I have yet to receive anything in the mail. Anyone else have this problem?
Used to be a great app but it now makes you jump through hoops to get the minimum size samples if you can even do it. The sell your information as well. Don't waste your time!
Let me give you a few reasons why pinchme is the worst sample company out there... First off you have to wait 1-3 months while they send you a million updates on social media about how exciting and awesome the upcoming samples will be and they show off a bunch of cool items then once "sample day" comes and you check your sample page you either don't qualify for anything or you qualify for something you will never even use such a zzquil or you will receive over 5 sample offers and when you select "add to my cart" you get sent back to the home page saying "you don't qualify for any samples" then... You write them a support email or comment on their Facebook page and they either don't get back to you or they respond with "better luck next time" or "you don't match our sample criteria." It's a waste of time and you will get all excited over possibly getting awesome samples but don't hold your breath because most likely you will get nothing. Your more likely to win the lottery then to actually get anything from pinchme
I received my first Pinch Me box the other day and I loved all of the products! I am glad I get to try new things before I buy... This is a very legit sight and I highly recommend signing up.
PINCHME is some BS! Don't fall for those "5" star reviews because those b*tches are fake as hell too! I spent 15 hours of one week taking surveys to get the 300 token box! As soon as I got 225 tokens, they stopped crediting me for surveys I absolutely COMPLETED! And their customer service SUCKS! They pick an choose what emails they want to respond to! The "Quiz Me" for samples is a straight up scam! If you look at where it says the people who won for the most tokens earned for the week, you will see that one person earned 8,000 tokens for that week! Thats straight up BS because the math doesn't even add up for that! For an hour long survey you get 100 tokens! So basicly that person had to be doing surveys for 80 hours that week! REALLY? How is that person qualifying for ALL those surveys and I can barely qualify for 6 50 token surveys (3 of those I never got credit for)! AND what is the 150 token "mystery" box? I had enough tokens for at least that, but that's just BS too! Plus they are getting paid for the surveys we do! So are the samples really "free"? And as far as sample Tuesday, they barely ever have any samples for me maybe one every few months, and I do the sample reviews! When I first signed up a few years ago Pinch me seemed much more legit but not anymore! And please don't fall for those fake $#*! 5 star reviews, they were probably posted by the pinchme member doing surveys 80 hours a week!
At first i was getting samples by taking surveys and racking up my coins. Well, now that pinchme.com has disabled my ability to take surveys for points, i am now only able to sign up for offers that REQUIRE ME TO ENTER MY CREDIT CARD. Um ya, no thanks. Let me take surveys for coins because i dont have money to sign up for all these OFFERS THAT ARE NOT FREE
I did countless hours of surveys and accumulated 1000 tokens. If you get 1000 you get a deluxe pinchme box worth 100.00. What I received was less than 25.00 worth. When I questioned them they said the delixe pinch me box is only worth 25.00 and the super deluxe is worth 100.00. Nope, they didnt have the super deluxe box when I won the deluxe box. Scam scam scam! Stay away from them. I encourage all who have been scammed by them to report them to the BBB.
Pinchme is one of the best sample site on the internet i always receive great product samples from pinchme and it's real no scamm about it. Try it you just might love it too!
I tried this for a while and after you jump through dozens of hoops, most requiring you to accept offers from other companies (insurance quotes, retirement plans, health insurance etc) you will get your "prize." So far I have gotten a "skincare" box about 6 weeks after I fulfilled the requirements. It included a foil packet of handcream, a sample packet of eye cream, a mini lip balm and a packet of makeup remover pad. Most of the items never came.
What I DID get was auto/life/health insurance companies blowing up my cell phone (even though I put in my landline which doesn't have a phone attached to it but the caller hears ringing) some as early as 7:01 & as late as 10PM, floods of emails (with the fake middle initial to help me track if my info was sold -- IT WAS) and text messages from early morning to late night.
I have been trying for over a month to end my "membership" with a company whose sole purpose seems to be selling your info to others & giving you a stale piece of lint covered gum they pulled out of their granny's purse as a reward.
Below is my most recent attempts to make it stop. As usual there is no response from them but I have received 4 texts from them while I was writing this.
Tip for consumers:
My best tip for using this site is DON'T.
Products used:
Only received a few sample size items.
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.
I get my samples regularly, sometimes I do forget but they remide me several times in advance about sample Tuesday. Definitely not a scam. Had to do a few questionnaires before getting samples.
PINCHme is the only quality free sample website where you actually get products.
They target their samples, so you don't get samples every month, but when you do, it's worth the wait.
I been a member for quite a while now. Although most of the time you don't get the full product or a reasonable amount it is awesome to get samples to try.
Well I first signed up with Pinchme because I was a member with several product sampling sites on Facebook, thought what the heck give it a try. Well as you sign up the first time you get a sample box but there after you don't get anything. You have to fill out these surveys to earn points to get a chance to get another box. Someone posted on FB that they received a box well, I am supposed to get the same box of samples and I was given a message stating that because of substantial shipping delays of March and April sample boxes will be delayed, well I see in my order history of the site that it states shipping takes at least 2-4 weeks plus the bar meter as stayed in the same spot for a week now. It now has been close to just over 3 weeks and I haven't received the box I am supposed to get that a few have already gotten. I am a blogger and product sampler and not only do I know of sites like Sitejabber but of sites where I can get samples of items faster without as much competition for those free items. I seen the other day they had a live podcast on Youtube/FB where they show these fairly big bottles of items but when I seen a picture of what someone had received and it was small packets the true companies themselves would send you.
Tip for consumers:
Because of so many trying to get samples from this company I don't think it is worth the effort. Better off going somewhere else for free samples.
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.
We Just Love Pinchme, We Get To Try Prodcts Before We Buy Them And I Love The Products Pinchme Offers And They Also Have Surveys You Can Do To Earn Points And Choose You Own Products In Full Sizes Sometimes
I am on this kick searching for free samples to try then review and surveys to earn some pocket money. This is the 1st OUTRAGEOUSLY false site i have encountered so far. There are no free samples ( their sample tuesdays are things they email you). You are supposedly able to take surveys to earn points towards a free sample box HOWEVER GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. I didnt seem to qualify for one survey. I tried back to back 10 plus times and NOPE I didnt qualify for one.
You want to know the truth about Pinchme? Here it is! A while back they would send a few sample here and there. They send you emails for items that you can claim. So you log on to their website and click on the sample. It will show that in order to receive that sample they want you to perform some things. Example: sign up for a paid membership to Experian, sign up for a paid membership dabble, ECT. Various other things like download and play a game and get to level 3. Stuff like that. So you follow thru with the things that are required in order to get the samples. I have NEVER one time got credit or acknowledgement for completing anything! This happened over a dozen times! I would email them over and over with proof of such things like copies of emails from the site they requested, screenshots of the games I downloaded and played to certain levels, screenshots of proof that I completed the actions requested of me. They would always come back to me with BS requesting rediculous information. I had already proved that I did these things! Never did they ever compensate me for anything! It's a real scam! Do not waste your time! It's not worth it for a sample of fruit loops or some cheesy 5.00 gift card, or a cheap Bluetooth speaker of some brand you never heard of! Seriously. That company has pissed me of so many times and I have the emails to prove it. Feel free to comment and if possible I will answer with whatever you want to know. They are liars and do not do what they say! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!
