I have fun getting sent free samples and reviewing them. It's fun and rewarding and I get access to things I've never heard of before.
PINCHMe is a great place to try samples and products to purchase and recommend to others. They make the experience easy and fun, I would definitely recommend.
One of the best sites I've ever found. Absolutely free products in exchange for reviews. Doesn't ever take me more than 5 min to do any of the requested activities. I grew up hearing nothing is free. They were wrong! Tou can pick and choose what you want to sample and earning coins to get products more quickly is free and easy! I'm not sure how anyone on here complains about products worth up to $100 for free. So ungrateful. It takes a while to get your boxes, but in a way that makes it even more exciting to see those boxes in the mail jammed packed with great products I didnt have to pay for tontry. Many times I have gotten products I would normally not have tried as I would have had to spend so much to possibly not like the product. I can't say enough positive things about pinchme.com I love it and if you don't, more products for me yay!
I love PinchMe! I have been a member for 10 years now I think. I love how easy it is to recieve samples. It is so easy to leave your reviews on products. This is the only true freebie site I have ever found.
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.
I have been with Pinchme for over 5 years it used to be you signed up for free samples and if you got chosen you would get a free full-size sample but times have changed in companies have to pay more for their overhang so now you can do questions and earn points to get free samples which many do not like but I was with another sample company that changed their way to pay for everything upfront which I am not with anymore because I don't like to pay for anything especially when money tight now you know why companies are changing their ways yes since they changed their way January 2024 I do not like that you only get 5 credits for a survey and I don't like that you get points taken back after answering all those questions and I don't know why after being with your company this long still have not gotten free big appliances but I still going to stay with you my opinion
Pinchme is a great site. They are more organized and seem to be improving their systems everyday. I have been pleasantly surprised with the items. I would recommend them to anyone.
I have been with Pinchme for 4 years and love it. Not only do they offer sample size but occasionally they offer full size products for reviews.
I love Pinchme. I have been able to try tons of products that I have never thought of or never thought to try. I have widened my mind to many different things!
I have been enjoying what Pinchme has to offer for a little while now. I like receiving samples of products, especially from companies that I haven't heard of before as I like trying different things. Pinchme offers a variety of products along with offers to earn cash back if someone is interested in that. I have and will continue to recommend their site to friends and family.
I have received so many great products from Pinch-me. I had a phone issue that wouldn't charge and luckily my Pinch-me sample included a charging pad it's been wonderful. I am always happy to try products from Pinch-me it's fun. I wish I got bigger like appliance type stuff but I never seem to win those and sending I wish you got to send a box for less coins like 350 or 400 it would be easier.
I am letting all of my friends and family know how great pinch me is. I love getting free stuff all of the time!
PinchMe is great because they help me try out lots of great brands and fun games. The ads tend to slow it down a little but it's easy to use and fairly efficient to get samples from.
I have been with pinch me for over a year and I feel like they have gotten so much better than the beginning. They make it easy to earn more coins to get more products. I'm hoping to start getting more of the larger products!
I have found some great products that I have since bought all thanks to pinchme. I can't recommend them enough
Pinchme is great! You can participate as much or as little as you like. The more you participate the more samples you will obtain. After apply; if you qualify the product is shipped completely free in exchange for an honest review. I love PINCHme
I can't tell you how much I love Pinchme! They are truly fabulous. Everything from support questions to providing awesome samples to try. Many that I've included as a staple in my life. I have received so many items from them and only had to answer a few simple, nothing ever strenuous.questions as well as sometimes provide a review which is the least I could do. Plus it doesn't take long to collect up the coins needed to have it shipped which is always free technically. Just alone this month I've already collected up to 19-20 items. Not to mention, they really do stand by their word and send them to you! I promise you will fall in love with Pinchme like I have
I have been a member of pinchme for a few years. I like the company more than any other free sample company. You have to apply and keep with it to get coins to ship a box. It takes a while to get 600 coins to ship one box which takes a lot of time.
Answer: I recently signed up on PINCHme and so far I'm happy. I had to answer a few questions (what products I like) but it took less than 10 minutes. I get some emails from them, like one every few days. I just delete them. I haven't got any from third parties. Today they released some of their free samples (they supposedly do every two weeks) and I got to order 4.
Answer: It takes a LONG time--over 6 months for some things and then when you get the items, you will be sorely disappointed to have everything tossed loosely in a box. Pinchme is no longer worth it, imo
Answer: Yes, you're fortunate that you can't sign up. They have scammed a lot of people out of everything they put into this site. Forget about it.
Answer: You;re right. They are not a legitimate sample site anymore, nor are they keeping their word. Read all the bad reviews and you'll understand.
Answer: They email the gift cards to the email address you gave them when you signed up with them. It can take up to three weeks to receive them. If it's longer than that just email them and the agents will correct it.
