Esearch sent out a survey invitation yesterday for 18-24 year old females to participate in a survey and if you qualify, a product test. Here is what the email stated:
This first survey (here) is the qualifying survey. If you qualify, you may be asked to try a product (which will be mailed to you). If you are selected, you will use the products and complete usage diaries (which you will mail back to the researcher). After this, you will complete a final follow up survey. Once these three steps are complete (qualifying, product testing/diaries, follow up survey) you will receive $40.00 (paid to this email address via Paypal.com by October 25).
Just a heads up so you can check your email and see if you got an invitation. Anyway, Good Luck!
In June I was told that I could either stay with the $5 panel or move to the new $3 panel for Pinecone Research. If I stayed with the old panel I wouldn't get as many surveys if I joined the $3 panel, I decided to stay with the $5 panel as long as I could. I received about 5 more surveys during the months of June, July and August which is slightly less than I usually get. Well yesterday I received an email stating to click on a link to a membership survey which stated the following:
To help PineCone Research keep pace with changes occurring in the general population, we periodically perform routine maintenance of our active panelist files. As part of the upcoming panel maintenance process, your household has been flagged for removal and regrettably, your membership with the panel is scheduled to be discontinued.
While your participation in the PineCone panel as it exists today has come to an end, as a valued member of the PineCone family we'd like to extend to you the opportunity to join our new cash plus sweepstakes incentive panel, if you would like to do so.
In the cash plus incentive plan, members are compensated with a $3 cash incentive for each completed survey and entered into a bi-weekly sweepstake for a chance to win $500. In addition, members are entered into the bi-weekly sweepstakes every time they complete household questions, which were formerly uncompensated.
Would you like to join PineCone's new cash plus sweepstakes panel?
We'll be happy to include you in the new cash plus sweepstakes panel as soon as the transition can be made. You will receive an e-mail confirmation when the transition is complete. Good luck in the sweepstakes...
I am sure I am not the only one who was "flagged for removal" because of "routine maintenance", all I can say is that I stayed a member of the $5 panel as long as I could and I have decided to just join the new $3 panel. If you haven't gotten this email yet and you are apart of the old $5 panel, heads up because it will inevitably be sent to you.

To the left you will see an example of The Consumer Beats surveys. They seem like they would be worth your opinion, I mean a chance to win $50,000 is an okay bargain for one question and of course personal information..... isn't it? Well I think it would be if that personal information was known only by Consumer Beat but that is not the case hear. It states in their Privacy Policy the following:
The Controls You Have On The Information You Share
If you do not want us to share contact, postal, e-mail address and demographic information with third party marketers, we can add your name to our "do-not-share" list. Please click here to send us a request to be added to this list In addition, you may request to be unsubscribed from our list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link contained within the e-mail message delivered by TheConsumerBeat.com, contacting us via e-mail at Unsubscribe@TheConsumerBeat.com or writing to us at TheConsumerBeat.com, 4509 South 143rd Street, Suite 9, Omaha, NE 68137 with a request to be removed. Unsubscription requests are processed within 72 hours but because of time lags due to scheduling, you may receive one or two additional e-mail messages that are already "in the pipeline." To remove yourself from third-party mailing lists, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided or contact the third-party directly with your request for removal.
Third Party Services
From time-to-time, we may partner with other parties to provide specific services. It may be necessary to share names, or other contact information with a third party(ies) to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Sale, Merger or Reorganization
TheConsumerBeat.com may transfer, sell or assign information concerning your use of this Site, including without limitation, personally identifiable information that you provide and other information concerning your use of the Site, to third parties, as a result of a sale, merger, consolidation, changing control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation of TheConsumerBeat.com.
Obviously they are not very strict on their third party sharing. I know not everyone that enters into these sweepstakes "surveys" read the Privacy Policies because they assume since its a survey company that is hosting this survey, but this is not true. It has been found that the parent company of Consumer Beat collects and sells email addresses. Also if you check out Winning Surveys Privacy Policy its exactly like the Privacy Policy">Consumer Beat's Privacy Policy, word for word and their layouts are very similar as well. I would not trust either Consumer Beat or Winning Surveys. I remember when I was a newbie and did their surveys, the spam came almost immediately, not only tons of "surveys" from their companies but advertisements for other companies that I didn't even sign up for. I ended up having to get a whole new email address because no matter how many times I unsubscribed from their companies as well as the third party companies they sold my email address to, I still got tons of spam! If you want to still do their "surveys", which I personally think are a waste of time, you should start a whole separate email address for them and other companies like them.
Here is a list of the companies that are "survey imitators" and/or sell email address:
- Brand Survey Panel
- Consumer Expression
- Consumer Promotion Center
- Consumer Beat
- My Elite Rewards
- My Insider Deals
- My Select Gifts
- Net Panel
- Opinion Direct
- Rewards Gateway
- Savings List
- Survey Networks
- Winning Surveys
