For those of you who work with Pinecone Research, have you noticed how they are more and more switching to "sweepstakes entry" payment for surveys? YIKES! I am so disappointed. I have replied back to Karen Scott in each of these instances and politely declined to complete the project because of this. The main reason I worked with Pinecone, and the reason they are so popular, is because of their guaranteed and quick payments.

I decided to send the following email to Karen Scott and I thought if alot more members did the same, maybe they'll listen?

Dear Karen,
I have been with Pinecone Research for awhile now and I wanted to let you know how disappointed I am to see that Pinecone Research seems to be going over to "sweepstakes entry" type payments. I have always steered clear of these types of surveys in the past because frankly, as a mother of five, and the director of a full-time ministry I simply feel my time is more valuable than this. Pinecone Research's quick and guaranteed payments are the reason I wanted to work with you. I have also spoken highly of Pinecone and recommended your company to all my friends as a "cut above the rest" for these reasons.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Amanda Brackney
