What reviewers want you to know

Positive highlights

  • This site is great and I never miss my sample Tuesday.
  • And most aren't little samples they are full size products, so you guys definitely need to check I t out

Critical highlights

  • There is no feedback to fill out, so I assume the sample boxes were not sent out.
  • Also, they pressure you to take quizzes to win other sample boxes, which I never win either.

“My Package Arrived Finally - Better Late Than Never”

Hannah G.
2/19/24

Received my package after almost 3 months of qualifying for the products and ordering them - better late than never, I guess 🙂 All free products I qualified for were in the package, which was impressive considering the long processing time.They'd also included some free magazines.I'd almost forgot about my shipment when it finally showed up.If you don't mind the long waiting time and tedious process to qualify for / receive products 'Pinch Me' is a legit site to get a wide variety of freebies.I'm now eager to apply for more and receive my next shipment. (Hopefully sooner this time.)

Top Critical Review

“I used to love pinchme but...”

Kris M.
2/6/24

Since they've changed their whole system around, it's been so horrible trying to get some free samples. I have two that are pending but you need to earn like 600 coins to be able to ship the package off. Earning points requires you to go to these other offers and signing up for all their crap. I think it's ridiculous now and just not worth the time or effort of trying to get products to test like my mini Carmex. I'll just go buy some, surely it's less stressful than to put all the information about myself on all these different websites just to earn coins. Ridiculous!

I have been with Pinchme for years and have never been disappointed... I love to get free samples and try before I buy... They send you so many great items, from food, pets, makeup, lotions, I have even received full size items... When they changed I was afraid of not being able to receive things like I used to... Saving coins is not that hard just takes some time... I already have 3 shipments on the way... Thank you Pinchme...

Tip for consumers:
I think Pinchme is a great site to be able to try new products before you buy...

Products used:
Cosmetics, food, lotion, pet supplies

I have been using pinchme.com for many years now. I get notified of new samples, pick the ones I want and a few weeks later, they're in my mailbox. Use the product, go to your account, leave an honest review. It's pretty simple and takes little time to complete. But, you MUST do it to get future samples - which is a fair tradeoff in my opinion. Highly recommend this program for those willing to do what's expected.

PINCHme has introduced me to brands that I have never tried before. Being able to sample products before committing to buying them is important to me because in this economy, I don't like making bad decisions when it comes to purchasing things. Everything that I have tried from PINCHme has definitely influenced the way I shop, and subsequently, the products that I pick.

Signed up for this website to try new products for free. Never came, def some scam, terrible communication, and they don't tell you after you sign up and take these questionnaires if you will or will not receive the product. Now sure how they have 4 stars, hard to believe anyone has gotten anywhere with this site. I unsubscribed hoping they weren't just phishing for information. Was a waste of time.

Tip for consumers:
Wish it was a easier way to determine if sites are fraudulent.

Products used:
Products never arrived.

PINCHme have given me the opportunity to test many different products and in turn I give my feedback. So many sites make you go through hoops to get products or lots of work with nothing in return. PINCHme has been my favorite. Thank you Pinchme!

I have received some really nice products to try. I love PINCHme. I do get a lot of emails however and sometimes answering all the questions gets exhausting but I get it. Keep up the good work promoting your advertisers!

They get all of your information, say you will be getting a product, then you never get it. False advertising! Took me 20 minutes to answer all their questions after I had received an email stating that I would receive free items after doing so. But after 20 minutes of my life and after they received all my personal information, they THEN tell me that I MIGHT receive the item. I would NEVER had wasted my time. But they also sell your information to other sites. I am now getting constant spam mail from 100's of other sites. I block these sites but they are coming in daily with different emails...all spam stuff right after I signed up with them. They are horrible! And really should be investigated for falsifying their claims and promises. Crooks, they are!

Tip for consumers:
I never received not even one item that was ever promised. And they sold my private information, so now my email and cell phone is constantly spamming. This company is a scam and really should be looked into. I wish I could do something more about this so others aren't hurt by them too.

Products used:
Promised several free items from snacks, to small appliances and I never received anything after being with them for over 2 years and filling out several 20 minutes questionnaires.

That used to be a great website till they changed everything and the way you get samples is so different and stupid now. Also, to just click on something takes forever because of all of their pop-up ads. The whole site is super slow.

Tip for consumers:
It’s not worth it to use pinchme.com anymore. It’s almost impossible to get one little sample even.

Products used:
Many, many samples of all types until they changed everything on website.

PinchMe is such a waste of time. You have to do a survey for every thing you want to try. And the surveys are plain ridiculous. To get a mini snickers I had to do a 5 minute survey answering when and why I snack among other things. And then to get a stick of gum I had to do the EXACT same survey right after! You have the info, save it! And you only qualify for 1% of the things you apply for. And it takes forever to get the 600 coins you need to ship things. I highly recommend not wasting your time!

I fill out all the questions and qualify for products. I get a notice that they ship but they never arrive at all, or a box arrives with 1 of the 4 items it says we're mailed. They don't ask for reviews so it was never shipped in the first place. Waste of time.

I have applied every day for months and have only received one box of samples which were not great - some cookies, small body oil, and a bunch of coupons. Nothing I had ever seen on the emails. Apparently not as good as it used to be.

Products used:
We used the items - cat food, cookies and a sample of body oil.

I've been a member of PinchMe for several years now. When I qualify, I receive good samples from them. Now, you do have to apply for any sample and then you get an email to claim the sample. I regularly regularly miss out on getting the samples because they're all gone before I see the email to claim my sample. I keep trying though.

I enjoy using PINCHME, I have been using it for almost a year now. Each day you can apply for a new product to test, and if you are selected they will send the product to you. They also give you opportunities to play new games and other apps, then give you $5.00 for Amazon for completing the tasks.

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONDS BACK AFTER MULTIPLE EMAILS> never received any of my 4 boxes or orders that i placed in for and constant emails and messages gone unanswered. The questions they keep asking on the site is so repetitive its getting so annoying to keep clicking each circle what the response will be. You answer the same freaking 20 questions with more 40 responses for what? They could save my responses from last time and save me the hastle. This site has become so laggy with spam from ads that its not fun anymore. Its what it is. SCAM!

Tip for consumers:
customer service was trash. no response after weeks of emailing and messaging them on facebook and the email they provided

Products used:
i didn't get to use any products because i never received anything!

I've been a PinchMe member for a few years now. I love it. I get to try new products, from makeup, face wash, perfume, dog food, cat treats, and all sorts of different food and snacks! I get to try things I'd be hesitant to buy in the store, and it's absolutely free. They only require you to leave an honest review. Honest is the key. There's been things I didn't like and left an honest review, and have had no problem receiving products after. Plus it's always fun getting packages in the mail.

Products used:
Bath and body products, makeup, fragrance, cleaning and household products, pet food and treats, snacks, sweets, food.

I would recommend pinchme like I use to but this new site is no good we still have samples we haven't even received yet from the beginning of the year and now we have to apply to try samples and when you do you don't receive any. What a waste of time they were excellent company before the change.
