Here is how to sign up for PinchMe, the free sample program in the United States. Before you start: access depends on the program’s own availability. If the site won’t load or has no samples right now, there are alternatives further down that work in a similar way.

How to improve your chances

  • Check in often: new samples show up over time, and the stock of each one runs out.
  • Fill your box: shipping only happens once it reaches 4 samples.
  • Review what you received: this is required to keep ordering.
  • Keep your profile up to date: it is used for the qualification questions.
  • Use an email address you actually check: program notices are sent there.

What samples usually include

Samples vary depending on which brands have active campaigns, and what you see depends on your profile and on the qualification questions for each one.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to speak English?
The PinchMe site is English-only, including the signup and the qualification questions. Your browser’s translation tool can help you follow the steps.

Can I choose what I’ll receive?
You choose which samples to apply for, but only those you qualify for go into the box. There is no guarantee of receiving a specific product.

Why didn’t I qualify?
Each sample has its own questions, set by the brand according to the audience it wants to reach. Not qualifying for one does not stop you from applying for the next ones.

Why can’t I request new samples?
The most common reason is a pending review from a previous box. Until it is submitted, new requests stay blocked.

If PinchMe won’t open: alternatives

Precautions when signing up

The programs mentioned on this page do not ask for a credit card at signup. Be wary of look-alike sites that promise boxes from famous brands in return for a payment or shipping fee. The official addresses are pinchme.com, influenster.com and hometesterclub.com. If you receive an email asking for payment to release a box, don’t pay: go to the official site through your browser and check whether the message really comes from the program.
