[meninsche]

For everyone who's signed up for Paypal,
I received an email today from Pinecone (Karen Scott) which stated the following:

Dear (Member Name Here):

This e-mail comes to you as confirmation of your selection of Pay Pal as your preferred payment method for PineCone Research. Your Pay Pal payment preference was registered via the Household Questions labeled 27904-3001.

If you are a first time user of Pay Pal, please be sure that you have completed their registration process including verifying your Pay Pal account e-mail address with them.

Below please find the Pay Pal e-mail address you have designated for receipt of future PineCone Research payments. To avoid any delay or disruption to your payments, we ask that you verify the accuracy of your information.

(email account registered with PayPayl)

If the Pay Pal account e-mail address that we have on file for you is incorrect, please update it using your PineCone Research personal profile. Simply go to the Pinecone Research website and enter your login information into the member login area. From there, you can access your personal profile and make the necessary change. Should you encounter any difficulty or no longer have a Pay Pal account, please contact us at scott@pineconeresearch.com and we'll be happy to assist you.

Your survey payment notification will be sent directly to your Pay Pal account from our panelpayment@pcrint.com e-mail address. Please be sure to make a note of this new e-mail address.

Your transition to the Pay Pal payment system will occur next week. Until the transition is complete, your payment type in your personal profile will display as “check.” Payments for product evaluation surveys completed prior to January 8th or during the transition will be made via check.

I'll have to look into this as well. That would be a nice option.

Just so you all know, the PayPal option with Pinecone was VERY fast. Of course, it should be said that their snail mail checks came very quickly too. The survey in question closed today, and I received a confirmation of payment around noon. Nice
