I always like to share opportunities for product sampling and testing when I find them. PINCHme is the newest sampling site on the block, and it’s already extremely popular. They have lots of name brand samples available for snagging pretty much every single week. But you have to be quick if you want to get them before they run out.
Sign up. You can do this quickly through either your Facebook account or just with your email address. Then, you’ll need to completely fill out your profile. This involves answering questions about your household, shopping habits, and health and beauty. It took me less than five minutes to finish. Only after you’ve filled out your profile will you be eligible to request samples from PINCHme. I was able to request a free sample of Gevalia coffee after I completed my profile. I’m not sure if everyone will have this or not, but it was there for me. I had to verify my account through a code sent to my cell phone before I could request the sample. Everyone has to do this before they can order samples, but it’s just a one-time thing.
As I mentioned above, PINCHme releases the new samples they have up for grabs once per week. It’s always every Tuesday at 12 p.m. EST. When you visit the homepage, you’ll see it clearly stated when you can next expect to see samples up for grabs. Make sure you visit the site at that time to request whatever there is. Quantities are limited. You do not pay anything at all for your samples. Everything comes to you completely free. You don’t even pay for shipping.
After your box of samples comes, you will be asked to share your feedback on what you received in your PINCHme box.
PINCHme does have a points program. You get points for doing everything, including filling out your profile. However, these points don’t seem to be set up so you can redeem them for rewards. Instead, they can be used for the monthly giveaways that PINCHme has for gift cards to various retailers. The site has a level system where you advance in level as you gain points and the higher your level, supposedly the more lucrative the rewards.
So far feedback on PINCHme is really good. People love the site and are getting the samples they request. I have registered and requested my first sample, but that’s as far as I’ve personally gotten with it. This looks like a great way to get some free stuff through very little effort once a week.
Go here if you want to start using PINCHme and please comment below if you’re already using the site and let me know what you think!
