PINCHme

It's pretty cool to sample free stuff before it hits the market. That's if you qualify. There are various products: wireless chargers, body lotions, sunscreens, pet food, jewelry, pots & pans, and snacks.

They dropped it to 5 coins a sample and then they dropped the samples to only 2 a day. And you need 600 to check out. They only give you 14 days to get your coins. The surveys I never get coins for. I don't want to play games to get samples. And they still owe me samples from back in October 2023. When I message them asking where they are, I get nothing but excuses. My sister tried to join under my code so I can get coins and they said they were no longer taking new people. I didn't "scratch your back" Pinchme

At the beginning I was receiving 3-5 samples completely free of charge. After about 3 boxes I was unable to even get any samples. I tried to get the free samples every time they were restocked, but only managed to get 1 every one and a while. Now you can buy boxes and subscriptions and take surveys to earn points which gets boxes. You still are considered eligible for free boxes but now it's a price of hours wasted on surveys that half way though say you aren't qualified and wasted your time . To fix this I ended up creating a new account to see if the same thing would happen. Again my first box was 3-5 samples , and then never again did I get a sample. Overall very cool when they first started but now the popularity has caused it so many can not even get samples.

I don't even know why I bothered making a profile for Pinch me, they're an absolute trash of a website & I'd give them a zero rating if I could. First of, I found out about it on some article of a women saying it was sooo great but not I see they only send boxes to people who are popular bloggers or you tubers. So far I've only went on this website one time and my box is yet to arrive (shipped Sept. 30, you do the math). Never again, I won't even bother reviewing the items because I just went on for my second time and I already don't "qualify" for samples. Bunch of BS of a website.

So, I read great reviews about this site and signed up for it. I even made one of my friends sign up for it. I visited the site right on time when the Sample Day arrived. I could only see the past samples which were out of stock, My friend was facing the same problem as well. So I logged on to their Facebook page and I see tons of other users are having the same issue. Apparently none of the people who signed up to the site recently got an invite for the new samples.

If I don't get to try new samples how am I supposed to provide my feedback. Thanks Pinchme for wasting one hour of my life!

Edit- I also found out that a few users got to try the free samples one day ahead by paying 3.99$. If you want users to pay for samples then you shouldn't advertise yourself as FREE Samples.

I joined about a month ago because I saw a Youtuber talking about how wonderful this site is. I just today received my first pack and everything in it is mini samples! They aren't even the size you get at the store when receiving a "gift with purchase". Funny thing... on the address label it had my name OR current resident. What! Apparently this company doesn't even care who gets their products! Looking at all of the reviewers who love this site, I suppose I don't fit their demographic anyway. I'm in my 40's and that alone means I most likely am past the point of wanting/needing most of these products. Bye Bye Pinch Me!

You don't always qualify for a sample box, more often not. I tried the qwizme portion to get guaranteed samples and received an email confirming it would be sent in 2-3 weeks. After a month and a half I emailed them asking if it was still being sent as I had not received anything. Their response was a tracking number telling me it was sent on one day to contact USPS. After tracking it said USPS was still awaiting the item. I emailed back with a screenshot of the tracking showing that USPS never received it and was told it's out of their hands that I need to contact USPS because it left their facility on a different day than what they told me in their original email with tracking information. I know this is just free samples but the customer service was ridiculous.

Once a month they offer samples. It is very difficult to qualify for the samples, then it takes a long time to receive them. It has become far more geared towards "surveys for samples" or pay for a membership or purchase something in exchange for a sample. It is really an aggravating situation, and to add to the frustration, too many site problems without any resolution or problem solved. By the time customer support answers your question, it is usually, "try again next month (wink, wink, giggle...) The samples have all been claimed (false sadness, shrug...)" Simply put, PinchMe does not value my time. PinchMe does not VALUE ME. PinchMe will not value your time, either.

It's easy just play some games answer a few surveys gain some points and off with some samples do a review when you receive your samples and it's as easy as that

Pinchme is great! You get to apply for the products you want. You get to earn coins on the site that are used to ship the products you applied for and picked to participate. Earning coins is super easy and fun too. Sometimes you get to try digital products, sometimes it's food, sometimes it's beauty products, and sometimes you will find a product that truly helps with some concern you have. I love being able to try the products but then sharing my opinion on my experience is also great. I love writing so Pinchme is perfect for me.

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.

I have ordered pinchme sample boxes. It is March 1,2023. I am still waiting for sample boxes I ordered in November of 2022! There is no feedback to fill out, so I assume the sample boxes were not sent out.
I wonder if others are dealing with the same thing...

I signed up in 2013 and every Tuesday I was eligible for samples. I would get frequent emails from them reminding me to check the new samples I would be so excited because I always qualified for something. I received my products within the month I had ordered them and for the most part I got what I had asked for, but after a while I stopped being eligible to order more samples even though it says I qualify for them as others have also stated. I wouldn't call it a scam as you still received some samples, but it's not fair that you have to write a glorified review to continue receiving them. It also seems like their requirements for a good review have gotten stricter. I missed one feedback survey and my review rating is now in the poor range. I haven't received a sample since October 2016 so I've given up on the site.
