PINCHme

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.

Pinch me has changed it takes months to get boxes you ear or you don't get them at all the point system is a fraud

I love getting the free samples, but it is getting way too hard to earn coins for shipments. I have spent so much time on surveys, games, and downloading apps, to not even be credited with the coins I should've been. It is very frustrating. I would rather pay a couple bucks for shipping than waste hours of time for nothing. Plus, the amount of spam emails I get from trying to earn coins is ridiculous.

Pinchme sent out a mass email telling its users to come here and leave them a 5 star review... well they get 1 star from me. Its a terrible site. If you qualify for anything, you cant actually 'checkout' unless you have enough coins. They pretty much use you to data farm. You have to do long surveys for coins, download things, or sign up for trials, some which require you to buy something or use a credit card.

Its extremely time consuming. If you do end up getting a free product, its normally Chinese made junk, or sachet sample size. Full sized products are rare. It also takes a month+ for them to ship out the products. Sometimes they dont even bother sending anything out and you'll see the item disappear from your list.

The website itself comes with its own issues. Its glitchy, full of annoying adds, offers that dont even work. Worst of all, surveys that dont even pay out. Its normal to spend 20 minutes doing a random survey and end up with NO coins.

How do you like my review PinchMe?

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.

I got my first offer today. It said that if I downloaded an app and used it for a week, I would receive a survey about my experience with the app. After completing the survey, I would receive a $100 Amazon gift card. The problem is that their link to download and register the app is broken. This is a waste of time.

We Just Love Pinchme, We Get To Try Prodcts Before We Buy Them And I Love The Products Pinchme Offers And They Also Have Surveys You Can Do To Earn Points And Choose You Own Products In Full Sizes Sometimes

First 3 times I did surveys to get boxes I had earned came every 3 weeks now it's been a month I haven't received my other 2 boxes I have talked to them online about it through email all they said was we don't have the tracking information to give you any they said they sent it just wait 3 weeks and you can get your boxes and give your review and sometimes items are shipped separately if it dont come come dont worry about doing the reviews online not really helpful i just dont think they will ever send something valuable if your approved for something another thing i noticed they dropped coins and it's takes me almost a month to get hardly ever approved for anything like before i will just delete my account once this box is filled ill doubt ill ever get the last couple boxes i earned

I've used pinchME for a while and in the beginning it was great. But recently all samples I've ordered I never received. I had 5 orders since December 2022 and it's now March 2023 and I haven't received any of them. I reached out and they told me it was probably a supply issue. But my question is why offer the samples if you don't have them?!

Can't get line know one want to help me out why. Can't call pick phone or call back at all. From suzanne

I have signed up months ago and never received any samples. It just seems to be a waste of my time going on there website everyday to apply. I even get notifications in my email that I'm getting them shipped but again it's been months later and nothing. I even tried to contact them and nothing. I guess now I have to try the Tuesday thing if I can remember.

There are no legitimate samples. Now they force you to take the awful bonus samples on Tuesday and there's no way to delete it. It becomes thee only thing you get in your samples box for the week. It's all scams. Anything decent you have to pay for subscriptions. It's advertised as this great saving service but in all my time there, the two samples I did win or get never came. So I deleted my profile and call it a SCAM. They force you to accept a bad sample while supposedly others get these fantastic things, boxes filled with things. I don't believe it at all.

Wayyyy too many ads and popups and you can barely even get through one survey for a product without accidentally clicking an ad

I've been using PinchMe for years and I love it. Great quality samples and all you have to do is sign up and complete your reviews once you get your samples. I tell all my friends about it. You literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Taste was flavorful and good but a little tough chewing. I'm sure kids would have no problem but with older adults, kinda difficult..

PinchMe offers excellent samples, but you have to be lucky enough to qualify which doesn't seem to be very easy. The samples that I've been lucky enough to receive have been decent in size so you can actually tell if you like the product. I wish the qualifying process would become easier, but overall PinchMe does a wonderful job and it's always exciting to receive a PinchMe box.

So, I signed up to pinch me and suddenly I've a BUNCH of scammers texting me about various obvious scams. I'm over here taking deep breaths and it says I've got a box and my 'bonus items' coming. Nope!

Just an envelope with a thing to scan. Nothing in the envelope. It's not even sealed. It's like someone did this just to say they sent it.

So they got our info and sold it to scammers and the samples didn't arrive.

I really like PinchMe because it is a real website where you can actually receive free samples in the mail. You won't receive a box of free samples every month but the sample boxes are awesome when you do receive them and again, completely free. You don't even have to pay for shipping! I highly recommend PinchMe for all your free samples.

Terrible! They make you take a survey to get your data, but not to send you samples that suits you. The first and only sample posted for me is nail decals for kids with unicorns and rainbows. I tried to add for test the system, but the order didn't go through after I confirmed my address. My email is bombarded with all kinds of emails from them with "free samples". I click on the link and there is nothing, only the nail stickers!

PinchMe has not followed thru with even 5% of what they offer. In 4 years I have received a tiny package of Haribo gummy bears & a single packet of a mayonnaise sample to review. I have done tons of surveys & questionnaires. I've gotten a prepaid Visa card & had direct deposit set up on it & still have not received even one gift card of any amount. I'll keep devouring my time to Inbox Dollars cuz I've gotten numerous gift cards from them. Good Bye PinchMe

PINCHme really is an actual sample site. I try to log in everyday and apply for samples since they changed their set up. It used to be just Tuesdays now its apply to try every day for something different. The only complaint I have is the amount of time it takes to receive the samples you qualify for because you never know when they will arrive. Ive received some really good stuff, snacks, pet treats, makeup, lotions, and body care samples. Its worth it to me to take 5 mins out of my day to fill out a questionnaire to see if im a match for that days sample. You can even earn points by taking surveys and use the points to purchase other products. All in all its a good site and doesnt require you to take endless surveys just to end up realizing there is no sample at the end of the survey.

I have been a PinchMe member for a few years now and I used to love the samples. Now though, It's become just another sample site, where you get nothing but spam emails when you select one of their "partner" sites. Not liking their partner sites one bit. I signed up for one and now I get nothing but weird emails for strange products - had to send it to my spam folder. I really am disappointed in this new format. It's not about always getting a box, but having to select inappropriate sites in order to receive something is just not my thing. Sorry, PinchMe... not impressed.

Well it has been more than five times that I complete and offer to get one of the items for "free". You basically complete one of the offers which is sign up for an app or website and pay with your card can be from $1-10 or more. Most of the times when I complete the offer it doesn't even let me go to the next page it just keeps loading. If you dont contact them then they wont do anything for you very unprofessional. It's been more than two weeks I contacted them and still no response. I let them know that once again I have successfully completed an offer with proof to show and no reply. So I paid for the sign up and didn't get my item which in this case was a 20 piece makeup brush kit. This has happened too many times! I know scam when I see it. If you dont cancel the subscriptions they will automatically take the cash from your card again. They make money off of us from partnerships with these companies and they dont make sure their website is running properly so this doesn't happen.
