PINCHme

when pinch me first came out i was getting lots of samples but now i really do not get anything...

I signed up a very long time ago and was getting samples on a weekly basis but now that has died down and every time i am logged in there are no more samples left.i suppose you need to be first in best dressed to even get a look in?

Pinchme provides its members the opportunity to claim samples of new or existing products in exchange for a review. I haven't been able to claim many samples are they disappear from the site very quickly but it is fun when you can get one. They have a range of samples on offer from food topet food to makeup. If you follow them on facebook they post alerts to when the next samples come out. Some samples are targeted so unless you get an email you can't claim it. Overall a cool concept but not enough samples to meet demand.

Pinch me is great, I've had maybe 8 samples in the last 2 or so months. It's great as it's free, it's a bit of fun but you have to be quick when the samples are released to get one drove ding what it is. The Pantene and oral b beauty box has to be one of the best samples I've received, dome of them are fairly small but the are free :)

I have recently started back with this site. I am entitled to a free sample a day. But they never have that many samples available. I maybe get one or two for the month. Some samples, such as nappies that I don't need, run for the entire month, so I miss out on getting anything for the month. Great when I manage to receive a sample and they are very quick to deliver. You also have to leave feedback on the product you tried. I did receive 2 cereal packets not long ago, and when I opened the box, the packet was not sealed and went everywhere. It is free, so its worthwhile and a bit of fun.

What a great initiative. Free samples to people who sign up. The regularity of these samples depends on your membership. Quick and easy to sign up. Samples come safely in the post in just a few days. So far I have received food and toiletry samples. Very happy with pinchme!

Pinch me is a great and innovative way to release samples and gather info for products. It is a great way for promotion. I just think that they didn't expect the influx of people to join this leading to disappointments on some who did not get samples. I do have to commend them for trying their best and making their site interesting and making changes that would have more benefits for their consumers. I myself was able to grab a few samples. It is free and I am thankful for it.

When pinchme first was established it was great as you were able to receive a sample daily, however now it is hard to receive a sample once a week.

I loved PinchMe at the start, who wouldn't when you could claim a sample every day because they had samples up everyday however with the website being so popular something had to give and eventually their supply of samples has dwindled, however once a week is still great, we are after all talking about a free sampling website wih no cost to the customer at all. I have been lucky enough to try so many products through PinchMe some I have loved nd some were just meh, but a good way to get new or old products in peoples faces. I do think however that their facebook page is full of people complaining which is a huge turn off to communicate with them through this venue. I think good job.

This is a great free site. Every tuesday at about 12pm est they release samples to claim. You have to be really quick as it can be difficult to claim as there can be system glitches & they run out of samples available. I have had many free samples from here my favourite being a full size sample of an ambi pur air freshener for the car! It has lead e to want to buy full sized products & given free feedback to the company.

Approximate cost: $Free!

This site is fantastic as it provides many opportunities to sample products on the market before you buy the full size product. I have received at least 15 samples and this has lead me to purchase the full product in store.

Approximate cost: $free

What a fantastic site to try new products without having to pay for it...

Ihave been lucky to "Pinch" 32 samples since it started and was the top "Pincher" one month and received $1000 in woolworths vouchers...

Approximate cost: $0

Three weeks ago I would have given PinchMe a much better rating, but it now looks like it's falling apart. There have not been samples in weeks, and it doesn't look like there will be any more in a hurry.

It's a shame, because if I sample something and either myself, my partner or my kids like it, we buy!

I love Pinchme, so far I have got 14 samples. My daughter checks the mail all the time wondering if we are getting a sample from pinchme. When we get one she rips it open. We enjoy sampling together. I notice some people miss out but its very popular but hey its free and its a bonus to try before you buy. Most of the things I sampled I have purchased. Somethings I would not of known about if I hadnt got the samples.

Approximate cost: $0

It is a great site in delivering free samples of new products, however their services is a bit low. I have contacted their services several times for services such as damaged products and products that have not been delivered to me but they do not help you in any way, they only say sorry.

I've had really positive experiences with pinchme. I've received quite a few samples all of which were delivered free of charge and normally within 7 days. Although the site has gone from samples everyday to now one sample a week it's still a fantastic service which has allowed me to sample many products for free. It can be a bit difficult to get a sample at times and I've missed out a few times but that is to be expected in my opinion. Overall a great service and I'm hapy to be a member!

Approximate cost: $0.00

I have been a member for a few months now and agree with the other reviews. I have received a few samples at the start which was great. I go on every day and have missed the last three samples. I then have to wait about six days for the next sample to be available. The samples are high quality when I get one. I am now allowed to order a sample a day because I have earned a certain amount of points, but there is just not enough samples for everyone.

Approximate cost: $Free

Great concept. Not enough samples! Maybe they weren't expecting so many people to join the site or there just isn't enough suppliers willing to give away free samples....
You have to be quick & they only release on Tuesdays, which is hard if you are working, with kids etc...
If you have nothing better to do than wait on Tuesdays (with no specific times) for a sample, it's good.
I have managed to get a few & have loved it...no postage to pay, it's catch free apart from doing a review.
They need to release fewer samples & spread them out over different days & times so everyone gets a fair go. But at the end of the day you are getting something for free...

I think they overadvertised in the start and now unable to meet the standards they have set. Kudos to them for changing rules to accommodate all. I have received samples in the start but became more difficult to attain in the last few weeks where I was refreshing the page then al of the sudden, out of stock. It's not their fault though for they cant control how much they are supplied to. But they have a lot of work to do and I believe they can make it.

While the website is easy to negotiate, this really isn't a good site for people who work: by the time you get to your lunch break or home at the end of the day, there are rarely any samples left. If you don't have a Facebook account, it's going to take a while to go up any levels at all. On the plus side, when you can snag a sample, they arrive quickly, and the review process is easy. I have as yet only received one email from them other than my confirmation email.

What I find most frustrating about this site isn't the low numbers of samples compared to demand, however, but the fact that there are rarely any samples at all: we usually have to wait until Tuesday for samples, and some weeks there are only one or two items available. More samples in terms of choice would be fantastic.

I also signed up to Pinchme thinking that I would get lots of samples but have been very disappointed. I have received 3 samples in a space of 4 weeks.

If you got to 5,000 points then you were suppose to get one sample a day but alas they then changed the rules making the samples come out every Tuesday.

You need to be quick and look at the Facebook page of Pinchme site quickly eitherwise the samples have all gone.

I wouldn't recommend this site unless they change their mines again and give more people the chance to getting samples.

What a bad layout!!! THey say they will send you emails, I have not had one yet, I have refreshed the sample pages every minute or so and today three samples came up within 10 min of each other but all out of stock when clicked on. VERY DISAPOINTING AS I REFERRED OTHER PEPLE AND PRETTY MUCH SPAMMED MORE with their samples.
They say you cannot complain about free samples, but I can complain about the fact they do not have stock within a minute of refreshing page as no sample was there now after 1 minute it was out of stock. I do not believe that there were samples today even though 3 samples came up with 2 days to go!! two weeks of refreshing and ALWAYS out of stock IF there is a sample.
Why join people to the sample mailing list if you dont send them emails?????

NOT RECOMMENDED, I may change my review to good if they step up their game.

Approximate cost: $my time

LOVE this site!
They offer decent sized free samples!
Although they do run out very quickly!
But who can complain when it's free!
The products are delivered within a week of claiming the sample and once they have sent it you can choose to review it via a survey to gain more points, which in turn takes you up in 'levels' so that you can claim more samples more often and be entered into their draws.

Approximate cost: $0.00

This site it great, they offer out free samples on a big variety of products and if you give a quick review on them they reward you with bonus points which upgrades your membership allowing you to order more samples and go into different draws. They often run out of stock very quickly as demand is high at the moment but they have just started up so hopefully they will be able to meet the demand better soon. Either way you can be too dissapointed about free samples.

The rewards sound to good to be true (thus pinch me) and they are! Offers and samples go out extremely quick and I've only got my hands on one so far! To be successful with samples you should race to get one... a bit of an effort really.

Approximate cost: $free

I was referred to this site by a friend. Fantastic concept, however they can't meet demand. I have logged on every day for the past week, and every day, the new sample is already out if stock. Waste of my time

PINCHme is a free sample site. I signed up before the official launch thinking it sounded great, but it has not lived up to that expectation. Everyday when I check the site there are new free samples, but they have already been claimed. They clearly have signed up more members than they can supply to. I have tried to deactivate my account, but can't find the link to do so. There are better sample sites out there.

Approximate cost: $0.00

I seen this rewards site on a TV program and ended up checking it out. The site isnt fully up and running yet but they have their first test run ATM.

I went on, entered some basic details and selected a product i wanted to test. A few days later i got my product sample and then answered product questions after using it!

Website outlay is good and easy to used. Was really simple to select a product and postage was super fast.I love the idea of getting product samples for FREE and then answering questions for rewards.

Cant wait for the full site to be up and running next month.

Recommend.
