Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 44 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers frequently report significant delays in receiving products, with some never getting items they qualified for. The website experience is often criticized for being difficult to navigate, plagued by pop-ups, and experiencing frequent changes that hinder the application process. Reviewers also express frustration over the challenge of qualifying for products and the perceived bait-and-switch tactics regarding sample sizes. Conversely, some people initially enjoyed the simplicity of signing up and appreciated the opportunity to test various products. However, a recurring concern is the unsolicited receipt of unwanted magazine subscriptions and spam, suggesting issues with personal data handling. Many also describe a frustrating user journey where qualified items are not shipped, or earned rewards like gift cards are never received.

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

Doesn't give you answers

It's 100 percent a scam. They say allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery, it's been 9 weeks since my first box has shipped to be delivered to me. It is July 28 2025, my package has been in Sweden at the same location since July 8th 2025. When I contacted them they tried to tell me they are based and ship or of the united states. If that were true 1 why did my package get sent to Sweden considering I literally live in the United States and 2 why is it not giving any more updates since July 8th? And when I email to ask i get dumb answers like we're based out of the United States and do not ship to Canada etc. As if I'm not literally living in the united states or please give 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Well the order was sent out of the ware house to be delivered to me in June 2 2025 it is now July 28 which is well past 4 to 6 week window for delivery and my package hasn't left Sweden since being dropped off on July 8th

They block negative product reviews and only accept positive ones.

Among other things, like taking way more time and effort to not get anything in return. They only accept positive feedback for items. If you do get something, meaning a sample, not the good items they show, if you don't like it for a specific reason, like food ingredients, they will not accept negative feedbacks or reviews. When you click the submit feedback button after entering your feedback, nothing happens as a result, unlike if you enter positive feedback.

Don’t Waste Your Time 🛑

Was a past user & really enjoyed getting the samples, leaving the reviews, etc.

Time/life got away from me & I stopped using the site for a few years.

Just signed up 2 was ago. Did the surveys, earned some coins, was approved to get a couple samples - but learned I had to have 500+ coins to even ship my first sample!? 😳

Had an issue logging in this evening, submitted a support request informing them that I had requested a log in code, hadn’t received the code.

Their response?

“…When prompted to enter your 6 digit One Time Password (OTP), please click refer to where it says 'Haven't received this?' and click on 'Resend'.

You should then be emailed a new OTP. Please be sure to check your Inbox, Junk and Spam folders for this email.

If you have clicked 'Resend' multiple times to request a new OTP, please ensure that you are using the code from the most recent email you received.

Thank you.

PINCHme…”

My only response back was to ask them if they actually read my email and to delete my account.

Terrible.

Will not be signing up again.

It’s not even about the points.

It’s not even about the points.

Recently I’ve tried it, I signed up, cool I verified for a sample box. Whatever.
Not even days after I signed up, I kept getting awful phone and spam calls. One after the other, spam after spam and robo call after robo call…I keep getting woken up from my sleep with the amount of calls coming through. It’s awful.
Do NOT use PINCHme, cause you’re gonna have to pinch yourself after you realize how unbelievable this site is. Im deleting my account.

I recently signed up for PINCHme

I recently signed up for PINCHme, and I’ve had a pretty positive experience so far. It’s a free sample service that lets you try out products in exchange for honest reviews — no credit card required, which is a huge plus.

The sign-up process was straightforward, and after filling out a profile about my preferences and household info, I started getting sample boxes periodically. The variety of products is solid — I've received things like snacks, personal care items, and pet supplies. The packaging is nice, and everything has arrived in good condition.

The main catch is that you have to be quick on “Sample Tuesday” to claim items before they’re gone. Also, not every box has a ton of samples, but considering it’s completely free, I can’t really complain. As long as you’re consistent about leaving feedback, you’ll keep getting offers.

Overall, PINCHme is a fun way to try new products without spending money. It’s not going to replace shopping, but it’s a cool bonus if you like discovering new things.

I love all of the great opportunities to try products so I can know brands know what brands work for me. I love all the sample perfumes, body sprays, acrylic nails sets, the sample detergents, scented beads, fabric softeners, pet supplies and children needs.
