“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.

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.

Pincheme has sent me alot of samples since I joined and most of those samples were really great the only thing you have to do is leave an honest review. Oh and now you have to earn points for shipping on those items. I love Pincheme and I think anyone like me would.

I've been using Pinchme for the last few years now, and overall, it's a great service. It's helped me sample products I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise and even find some new favorites I'll be purchasing in the future. Additionally, a decent portion of the products I've tried have been sample versions of fairly expensive premium items. Pinchme also consistently has a wide variety of products to apply for, ranging from makeup to snacks. Applying for samples is quick and easy, typically requiring to answer just a few short pages of simple questions. In return for qualifying for and receiving samples, you usually have to leave a review or two on various retailer sites or just provide feedback on Pinchme itself. I'd say the main downside of this service is shipping can take quite a while at times, but given that all the products are free, it's understandable and well worth the wait. I think Pinchme is a wonderful service and you should definitely consider checking it out if you're interested in trying new products for free!

PinchMe is great because they help me try out lots of great brands and fun games. The ads tend to slow it down a little but it's easy to use and fairly efficient to get samples from.

I have been with Pinchme for over 5 years it used to be you signed up for free samples and if you got chosen you would get a free full-size sample but times have changed in companies have to pay more for their overhang so now you can do questions and earn points to get free samples which many do not like but I was with another sample company that changed their way to pay for everything upfront which I am not with anymore because I don't like to pay for anything especially when money tight now you know why companies are changing their ways yes since they changed their way January 2024 I do not like that you only get 5 credits for a survey and I don't like that you get points taken back after answering all those questions and I don't know why after being with your company this long still have not gotten free big appliances but I still going to stay with you my opinion

Pinchme sent out a mass email telling its users to come here and leave them a 5 star review... well they get 1 star from me. Its a terrible site. If you qualify for anything, you cant actually 'checkout' unless you have enough coins. They pretty much use you to data farm. You have to do long surveys for coins, download things, or sign up for trials, some which require you to buy something or use a credit card.

Its extremely time consuming. If you do end up getting a free product, its normally Chinese made junk, or sachet sample size. Full sized products are rare. It also takes a month+ for them to ship out the products. Sometimes they dont even bother sending anything out and you'll see the item disappear from your list.

The website itself comes with its own issues. Its glitchy, full of annoying adds, offers that dont even work. Worst of all, surveys that dont even pay out. Its normal to spend 20 minutes doing a random survey and end up with NO coins.

How do you like my review PinchMe?

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!

I have been using #PinchMe for many years now. When I receive samples they are for the most part really nice items. I have received new products that were expedited to arrive such as whole body deodorant in name brands. I have found that this year they have made it more difficult to earn points. Also once awarded a product to try and actually being able to keep the product in the box and the points in your total of points( with 600 being the amount needed for a box
To be shipped out) is not so easy. A window of time is given to earn enough points and if don't meet the goal you lose points and the product. Seems unfair. If there were more offers to earn points through samples it wouldn't be so unfair, her not the case. I do not like the new options to earn points at all. I will complete offer and never receive the points after spending a long amount of time completing offer. I am not to the point of leaving #PinchMe behind, I just hope they work out kinks and do better for us loyal members.

I enjoy the rewards of earning coins for shipping out the samples you've qualified for. I would like to see folks get more samples to fill their boxes

I've been a member of PINCH ME (FREE SAMPLE SITE) for around 2 1/2-3 years now and I absolutely LOVE IT!
You answer some questions so they know what kinds of things you'd like to sample, then they'll fill your dashboard with products they think you'd like and you can either apply to try it or not. All you have to do is fill out HONEST reviews to continue being eligible to receive items. You don't get picked for every sample you apply for and it might take a month or two to get going and to start receiving them but once you do you're good to go in my experience.
I get full size samples, small samples, gift cards, ect...
They also have a coin program where every product you apply for you earn coins, every item you are picked for you earn coins, every review you do you earn coins, and now they even have a digital offer section to earn coins and a game section to earn coins.
I'm telling you this program is great and you've got to sign up for it so get out of here already and go to pinch me and sign up! I promise it's worth it if you love receiving free things in the mail!

These pictures show questions they ask when you apply for something, the try products screen where you choose what to apply for, the reviews that are due for you to complete, and lastly is your box and that shows what you've been accepted for to sample and how many days you have to check it out before you forfeit it and the coins are taken back for it.
I really hope this helps 🙂
