I Hope I Get Accepted to Pinecone!

My recent post pondered whether I should "snowflake" random extra income like my recyclable redemptions.



Frugal Chick snowflakes her Pinecone survey payments. According to Frugal Chick:

Pinecone is a very reputable survey site that is a bit elusive. They usually pay $3 a survey, and I tend to get one every couple of weeks or so. You can't simply sign up on their site--you have to search for a banner or happen to chance upon one and then qualify once you've clicked on it. Keep your eyes peeled if you like doing surveys for a bit of extra cash!

I just registered through a link at this site and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be accepted. (It's very possible that I may be rejected since I didn't register through a random banner.)

[Note: It's also very possible that this link may not be valid. But since the url appears to be Pinecone's and the registration does not ask for sensitive information such as Social Security number, I rolled the dice that it is legitimate.]

Jonathan at My Money Blog reviewed his experience as a Pinecone participant here. Jonathan's tips include: (1) be truthful in your registration and (2) be prompt in taking the surveys.

Now I realize $3 every other week isn't much, but I guess that's the philosophy behind snowflaking -- each snowflake is small but if you accumulate enough, you'll get a snowball.

:-D
