I thought that serena, i'd take paypal and cash rewards over vouchers anyday, why would anybody want these?

I always used to get paid in luncheon vouchers until they changed to an offer of paypal...years ago, now. I loved them as supermarkets take them for shopping too, or did then!! Dunno about now!

Their customer services are great...just email Karen Scott and she will help you. It is easy to change over. :)

Great, hopefully paypal will be my next choice, i do find it weird that they don't ask you what option you would like to be paid with, i have read through all there FAQ and it says that in you're first invitation it will ask you're choice of payment, but having only just signed up less than a week ago, i don't recall been asked this, anybody else who is thinking of joining i would make sure that you email them first before you take there surveys, if you would like you're reward as paypal if not you will happily recieve luncheon vouchers through the post, very quick aswell!

I do remember getting them for ages...before they even started to do paypal....and I used them in Boots and the Co-op for my shopping - very useful!

I do find paypal more useful now though as I do so much online. I think you are right, though, Tez....you should have been asked in your sign-up options. Maybe you are just getting old and forgetful like me!! :)

I get regular e-mails asking if I'd like to change payment methods but I'm quite happy to stick with luncheon vouchers from Pinecone as any Paypal money tends to get used by my hubby on gadgets etc. whereas I keep the vouchers in my handbag and use them for treats, either a McDonalds every now and then, breakfast in Morrisons cafe or adding something special to the grocery shopping :)

I do agree with the bit about hubby using up all the paypal....however, he has a really good eye for an online bargain and is in charge of birthdays and Christmas pressie buying so I let him do that, happily I may say, as it takes the pressure off me and I can be left in peace to do surveys!

I used to live getting treats with my luncheon vouchers though!! :)

I've just joined with them and when you go to update details there is an option to add your email (which I did) but I'm wondering about theses vouchers, where else do they get accepted?

I would email them as i did this and still got the vouchers through the post a couple of days after i completed my first survey, the vouchers can be used at many outlets, mcdonalds, kfc, asda, morrisons, boots, tesco, there are loads more it does mention a few on the vouchers itself but not many on the site

I have been with them for years and used to get th eluncheon vouchers, but I now get it paid into PayPal. I seem to remember getting an e-mail ages ago asking me which I preferred, giving the option of carrying on with the vouchers or payment straight into my PayPal account.
