Lightspeed panel has become my favourite research site. I joined them about four month ago.
I receive invitations for the surveys once or twice a week, but I discovered that it is worth signing in occasionally because there are available surveys you don't get invitation for. I don't know what happens to these surveys, because I always fill them if I discover.
They can choose better their focus groups than other survey panels, so I don't get screened out so often. I would say I match 8 out of 10 occasions. They reward quite fairly my effort of taking their surveys. I get 50, 80 or 110 points for the surveys depending on their length. 115 points worth 1 pound via PayPal, but 550 points can be redeemed to a 5 pound Amazon voucher. There are a lot of possibilities to redeem your points. I used Paypal, thy paid in 10 days for the first time, next time they were quicker. I like that I can get 1 pound if I want to, I don't have to wait until I get 25 or 50.
So if you want a reliable survey panel, I suggest you to join Ligthspeed. They are not as generous as Pinecone, but have surveys more often, so you can get more money with them.

They stopped sending me surveys, too. I haven't received any invitation for a few months (and there is none available on their site)... Is that the effect of credit crunch? ;-)

I have found they have gone a bit quiet for me at the moment
Advantages: Good set of redeemable vouchers Disadvantages: Surveys can just appear to fail on you halfway through and you can't retake or go back or not work
