There are a variety of reward options that accumulate points that can be exchanged. These include:
- Bank Transfer - Pinecone offers cash payments issued via bank transfer. You will be asked to create a 'wallet' on a third-party payment processor website when selecting this option. Once set up, you can request a cash payment deposited directly into your bank account. Payments are issued in $10, $5, and $3 increments (which can be in different quantities; ex. 4 x $3 = $12). Bank transfers are typically issued within 48 hours of request, but can take up to 3-5 business days.
- Amazon e-Cards - You can receive an Amazon gift card with your collected points. The e-card will be sent directly to your email account.
