Many, many years ago when this site started, you could actually get the freebies they advertised. Now? You are forced to complete surveys and tasks to earn points. When you finally have enough points to get your box shipped, good luck getting anything. Of the last several boxes I've earned points to get, I received 1 tiny sample out of maybe 20-30. I get nothing but excuses from them if they ever bother to reply to an email. This site does a bait and switch, forcing you to spend your time earning points that wind up netting you nothing.

Recently PinchMe has started sending out emails to users asking them to "Please leave 5 star ratings" on sitejabber and Trustpilot in exchange for "better samples". They even included the language, "If you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours." This a direct FTC violation and I feel this site should honestly be shut down.
