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.

I totally agree, thought it was happening to me

Hi 10tilly, given the reviews on WOMO (and other sites), it seems apparent that this business is not worth the time and effort. Thanks for the heads-up and detail! Reeces

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 agree that they seem to run out of things quickly! I don't get the emails that they say they will send out so I miss out on the samples.

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

I know what you mean WASTE OF TIME

Bad site management.

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 have to give credit where credit is due, they have improved so much lately! They sent out emails saying they knew people were disappointed, and announcing changes to the site. I have already received some great samples since writing this review. They listened to their customers and changed for the better.

Thanks for a well written review. Given the negative comments that keep being uploaded one can only assume that this business is one worth avoiding. Unfortunately, many similar sites make an additional sum for the ‘selling-on’ of your personal information, so don’t be shocked if/when you start receiving unsolicited communications from other companies. As the old adage goes, if it quacks like a duck…Regards, Reeces

I have managed to get a couple more samples since posting my review, but they regularly get tones of complaints every Tuesday when they release their samples as they seem to all get snapped up in a matter of minutes, yet they still advertise for new members.

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.
