Payment Information

Every time you complete a regular online survey with Pinecone Research Canada, you will be awarded $3. On occasion, product tests or special survey opportunities are offered which pay differently/more. Note that although Pinecone recently switched to a points-based system, you can still cash-out your earnings with just a $1 minimum balance worth of points.

PayPal Rewards
Once you’ve successfully completed a survey, you may request that you be issued a $3 payment to your PayPal account. PayPal payments are processed within 3-5 business days without any extra fees.

Get Paid By Bank Transfer
If you do not have a PayPal account, or you simply prefer receiving cash directly, you can request that a payment be made directly to your bank account. Pinecone uses a third-party payment processor to handle the payment, and you’ll receive it within 48 hours of request.
