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

Pinch me, this sites to good to be true I must be dreaming!!

I have been with pinch me even before the new site and I’ve always loved them ! Pinch me is not only free products that you get to try and keep but it’s also very easy to navigate the site and can be fun playing games to get the points you need to try products! I’ve gotten a pinch me box so many times I can’t tell you an exact number but every time I have been left even happier than I was before I opened it! It’s a great experience and I’m glad I found them , I tell everyone I know about the site!

Never receive good products of value

Been using pinchme.com since they launched and I never qualify for any products. I can’t see older categories I entered and one I know I was supposed to get some Apple Beats earphone.. They will send some of the trivial items like butter and cheese coupons or small samples of hair care items and not often. Saddening

The experience is awesome you get to…

The experience is awesome you get to try products that you haven't seen or known about and they are always good ones .. Wish I could just get some of the bigger products when I bid a lot of my coins that the only issue .. I would love to try the air dryers or the vacuum cleaner

Trying new things

Love that you get to try things you’ve never tried before , for free. Only thing is you sometimes have to wait a little bit but that is not a problem for me .

Waste of time

Ive been messing with this site for months. I've received one box and never received the Amazon gift card that I was suppose to. I haven't "qualified" in months for anything. I will not recommend this site. I will be deleting the app. Everyone else should do the same!

Waste of time and terrible customer support

I feel scammed out of my time… and your time is valuable to these companies. i tried to give pinch me a chance for months because I like to try something out before really listening to others, but they were all are right about it being bad/useless. Ended up closing my account with 600 coins because I was not getting anything after months of filling out surveys… the site is also very glitchy and slow so you’ll be spending 1-2 hours just trying to fill out questions for samples… it feels like some kind of insanity to sit there and waste time on something out of each day and expecting to get something for your time, but it never comes and probably won’t. Customer service will tell you to just keep doing it and bidding and trust them but I wouldn’t. Btw watch out for their fake 5 star reviews

Receive free products

Receive free products every couple months to review and try, some expedited free samples full size as well. Only thing is it takes a couple months to ship each and Receive each of my ordered boxes, I checked one out in November and it's now April for instance but could Receive it any time. It's been harder to qualify for products lately as well. I have almost 2000 coins to ship boxes (500 coins/ to ship ea box you order) and have qualified for 1 product in the last few months

Absolutely not worth it

PinchMe used to be a great site.I was a member for years and even though there was some issues, it was worth being a part of. You would sign up for a handful of samples and have to review them in a timely manner to stay in good standing. The samples were usually sample size products of all sorts and every once in awhile you could get a full size product. However, they decided to change their whole system, now using "points" to redeem a box. Of course the points system is insanely disproportionate. While I would never complain about free stuff, this isn't free at this point and sample size cat food isn't worth what you're putting into it.
Back before the change, the boxes could take months to come which is fine, but when they made the change, I never received the boxes that were "on the way".Their customer service is awful so don't expect any help.
Overall, there are tons of sites that give free samples quick and easily. No jumping through hoops. It's ashame but PinchMe ruined itself. Definitely not worth it.

You will not get ANYTHING good

You will not get ANYTHING good. You only get garbage. Not only that they will steal your data and try to get into your bank accounts. They also steal your coins when you get to 1000. I’ve had over 1000 several times just be dropped to 700 for no reason. It’s a scam you won’t get anywhere but they given some little crap to keep you on the line

When they first started out

When they first started out, they were great.
Now it's terrible. I haven't done any in a while because of the convoluted hogwash you have to go through to get a box. I'll just buy the darn thing and call it a day.

They sent a way cheaper item than what…

They sent a way cheaper item than what was originally advertised after waiting 6 months. When I contacted them they said they reserve the right to send cheaper quality merchandise. Than advertised. To me this is false advertising. So if I could give them less than a star I would.
