I love the simplicity of signing up and the fact that it's free. It takes entirely too long to receive, though.

Pinchme

While it is great that Pinchme sends out samples more often than not the sample are not full size products. Sometimes it can take months before you see the sample you order. The site is very buggy and is very busy with pop up and advertisements. I would love to see a pinchme app . There is a point system which is used to "check out" with the samples you "qualify" for. You get points in various ways... by applying for samples, writing reviews, and signing up for other activities. I actually wish they would go back to the old way before the point system because many of the activities are downloading apps and signing up for things that feel phishy. I have been with Pinchme for several years though and have gotten some real good stuff to sample/test and review.

This site is so awesome

This site is so awesome, lots of opportunities to get free full sized products as well as earn coins while playing some pretty awesome games. And you can earn thru reviews as well as surveys. Give it a chance , you won't regret it.

I love this site!

I love this site! I do it in my spare time to find new products I might want to purchase. You can earn points playing games, taking surveys, & applying for products/reviews. Some samples are actually full sized, which I think is kind of important when trying to give an honest review if it's hygiene products. They have snack/drink samples which is nice if you are an adventurous foodie like me. I haven't been selected for any of the electronics or womens accessories yet. Waiting to receive a few make up samples though. I definitely recommend trying it out!

Easy to earn points

I've been a member for a few months and I am satisfied with my experience. It's pretty easy to earn points and the selection of products to apply for is quite varied. I don't qualify for everything, but I get shipments pretty regularly.

A fun way to discover new products

I have discovered so many new products that I would not have known about otherwise. I have also received and try many products from pinch me. A few of them were full size. It cost no money and it's fun and easy to do.

A great way to try new products!

I have been receiving products from pinch me for over five years now. I have received many full size products also, not just the small samples! I really like pinch me, you have nothing to lose, sign up, receive free products and leave a review. Alot of people complain that it takes a long time to receive the products. It does take 2 months sometimes more on average. Though, full size products come quicker, sometimes in just 2 weeks. Be patient, then one day, when you are not expected, you will find a pinch me box in your mailbox, a very nice surprise!

I love PINCHme I would give five stars…

I love PINCHme I would give five stars but sometimes it’s hard to come up with 600 points before your Suff disappears and you can’t get it. And another thing is the stuff u can earn more points on I have done done or won’t let me. But other than that I love it and I love getting stuff to try out and to be able to support brands.

pinch me only requires a half hour a day to earn sample boxes.

i enjoy working with pinch me. it gives m something to do in my spare time that benefits myself as well as the businesses that they have. when i review a product i try to tell others my thoughts about it including the good bad and ugly. i keep it real which helps others who are considering buying the product and the businesses. pinch me has a wide variety of products to apply to try for. they also have offers you can do to earn coins as well. some of the offers are even games to play and review. you wont get rich on this site but if you visit it every day for about a half hour you will earn enough coins to get a sample box every month. you also get to try many different products for free. once you collect 600 coins it pays for shipping.it is neat to learn about many new products. if you are thinking about joining i would encourage you to.

It's easy to use

It's easy to use, faster than expected delivery on my first box, and within just a few weeks I'm getting ready to ship my 3rd, actually maybe 4th box of samples already! It's fun and exciting to receive your box of goodies to try, I recommend PINCHMe to everyone!

Lovely since 2016

I’ve been a member since 2016. PINCHme is awesome! You can get full sized samples from top brands, for the price of writing a review. It used to be easier to get samples, but the company has grown!

Follow Through

I actually receive the products I qualify to try, unlike other "products testing" sites. And I love the option to earn points to cover shipping instead of paying for shipping (which would undermine the whole FREE trial thing)
