PinchMe has given me the opportunity to try new and/or different products I haven't seen or heard of before. There are typically 3 or 4 new samples offered daily. The negative about the site that there are so many ads and they get your data which has resulted in a lot of spam phone calls and emails.

Don't bother
April 10, 2019

I joined pinch me years ago and it was legit and fun and exciting. Always got
The free samples never had any problems. Now they want you to take surveys to get samples. All
That does is blow your email up with company's you have no interest in. Now your lucky if they offer you a coupon every other month. Don't waste your time this site is now a bummer.

I Love PinchMe! I have received so many delicious and interesting samples, from make up to a phone charger and much much more. It's easy to earn coins and check out your box. After that you just wait for your samples to arrive, no shipping cost. Love This Site!

At first, I really liked this site. The first few times I was able to select good products to try. Around the 3 - 4 time, not only was their selection limited, but everything was sold out. I even signed on the same day they said their new samples would be released. It is completely free, so I suppose I can't complain too much, but it still stinks that I'm unable to get any samples now.

Love this site.

I love pinchme com. They send out samples that are customized to me and my household. Products I use and end up purchasing. I have gotten many full sized products also. Try before you buy. It's great.

I've been a member of Pinchme for many years now, and have received many wonderful FREE samples to test. It's super easy to register. Just answer a few questions about your preferences, hop on the site every day to apply to try each sample, and you're on you're way to free samplesnin your mailbox! All they ask is for your honest review upon testing the product.

I am confused as to why I see so many bad reviews about Pinchme. I signed up 6 months ago and as long as I actually review the samples and give my feedback like we're all asked to do, I keep receiving samples. If you don't put in the effort why should they send you any samples? That's how companies know if their products will be well received or if they should remove it from the market. Don't expect your mailbox to be jam-packed with samples every day, but if you do the required reviews on their site and share on social media, you WILL receive samples.

Pinch me does give free samples, but you really have to work for it. Some of the games and surveys I didn't receive my coins when reaching goals. If you have time to waste they do give good samples at times

I was really excited to join pinch me. I love new products and am always happy to share my thoughts on them... However the samples are very few and far between so not nearly as good as I thought it would be

Awful clickbait service
September 24, 2021

They claim to provide samples and gift cards for reviews and offers, but I've received minimal samples without gift cards and since providing my information to them with their so called offers, I have received hundreds of spam calls, text messages, and emails daily. It starts the moment I wake up and goes on until I settle down for the evening.

You have to make sure you are able to log on Tuesdays at 12 noon on their sample days. When you do the website is overloaded and crashes. Every Time! By the time you get through the samples are gone or you find out you did not get any this time. I have always been "in good standing" and filled out my reviews in time and with care. A few years ago they were great - then, I guess, they grew in members, but never caught up with the capability of their website.

I have been with Pinchme for quite a few years. This company went through a lot of changes, but still provides me with great samples and sometimes full size products and coupons.
I have to wait for shipping for a little bit, but not longer then from other sample sites.
I like it and look forward for future collections!

Love
July 12, 2017

Love pinch me even I get samples to try. My only problem is their site is a bit slow when writing review's and sometimes you get coupons for hard to find items. I've had 21 samples since I stared in November 2016. Sure you don't always qualify for samples, but be patient. And remember to update your profiles. Oh and we definitely need a pinch Me app :)

Happy Pincher!
April 27, 2024

I love pinchme! I've been a part of the happy pincher community for a couple of years now and I've notice how far they have grown and how much their customer service has always gotten back to you almost immediately with any questions. In the last year alone the revamp of their website has gotten so much better and the samples are always such quality products and now their are such better ways to earn "coins" for your box check out. You can actually gain then without having to purchase a subscription or give any credit card information. Stay patient and follow the rules with completing reviews and you will see how you will qualify for more samples and have more opportunities for success!

Spam Galore
June 4, 2023

Ask yourself if a sample of tea or a free magazine is worth having your personal info distributed to hundreds of companies around the world. Like even spam control can't keep up with the amount of spam I started getting after signing up with Pinchme. It's absolutely nuts.

I have been a member of Pinch Me for over three years. It's a great site for free samples. When they changed the format there were a few issues as with any company. However, they got the kinks worked out and I like it better than when I first joined.

If the page times out come back the next day. We will save your bonus item. Out of 30 or more tries I've only gotten 3 bonus items.
I've emailed them several times for them to send me my bonus items but they never write back. Wonder if they even receive some of these so called "bonus items". I bet they don't. I bet they just get paid to advertise them. Or maybe theses companies don't realize that PINCHME isn't mailing them out to us after we complete these surveys. Who knows what's going on. I done with PINCHME. It's a big headache and a waste of time.
So I downloaded the FREE STUFF app onto my phone and I love this app.

Used to be great..
April 15, 2020

I used to love this website. It was super fun and easy and I would occasionally get sample boxes. They updated stuff and now it's so annoying! They send you emails about random free samples but you have to do an "offer" before you check out. Which will just result in you getting hundreds of spam emails and no free stuff like they promise. Waste of my time and not worth it.

It's good, not great
October 26, 2019

I like Pinchme it's a nice sample site, but it can take a long time for samples to arrive, and you need to be quick when samples are available or you miss out. You can go months before without catching the available sample. I've discovered some good products through this site thanks to all the free coupons I've gotten from them. And there are frequent offers for free magazine subscriptions, though it isn't a wide selection.
