For certain surveys completed, you will receive an entry into this same sweepstakes. The more you participate, the better your chances of winning the draw. The quarterly draw is for the following prizes: (1) reward of 500 Panel Points, (2) rewards of $250 Panel Points and (100) rewards of $10 Panel Points. If you win, you will be notified via email within 10 days of the draw.

Eligibility: Must be age 16+ to participate in USA, 14+ in Canada. Other countries may vary.

Note: The MySurvey and Lightspeed panels merged into one and are now simply known as "MySurvey."

A good survey site

April 20, 2015 by Eden from United Kingdom

This was the first ever survey site I signed up to and I always got a decent amount of surveys. The choice of rewards were good. For some time this was the only site I was signed up to, but I then signed up to many others. Unfortunately when I did, the surveys from MySurvey just completely dried up. I'm giving 3.5 out of 5 stars because of this.

SO confused...

April 15, 2015 by Jarrod from United States

I've been on mysurvey.com's panel for about a month now and I have to say with ALL the errors I've encountered on this site, it literally took me the entire month just to earn $10. I have several surveys on my account that have known errors and every time I click it, it says "Thank you for your patience but the following link you have tried to request is under maintenance or no longer available and will take 4 weeks to be removed from your panel list. We apologize for the inconvenience and again thank you for your patience."
In my opinion, 4 weeks is utter garbage and I have to keep second guessing myself to make sure I'm not clicking a broken link.

Just today I finished my last survey and had the chance to redeem my 1200 points (and just to let you know, the points required to redeem are increasing weekly) for $10 in to my PayPal account. Once I clicked the PayPal link it asked me for shipping details??????? Confused, I tried to call customer service (because reading the other reviews for this site, E-mailing was out of the question), I got an automated message that said "Please wait for an operator" - no "press 1 for...." or anything - then another message 2 seconds later that said "No operators available" then a hang up. So I decided to just put in the shipping information and submit. Reading the following screen it said if I'm redeeming points for PayPal it'll take 5-10 business days to process and transfer in to my PayPal account.

There's 2 things wrong with this:
1) 5-10 business days just to receive $10 for an ONLINE payment is uncalled for...
2) I NEVER PUT IN MY PAYPAL INFO!!!!

So am I receiving a check or something????

I don't know... something is obviously broken either with the site or the people maintaining the site, or both. I'm done...

Beware!

April 14, 2015 by Laura from United Kingdom

I tried to log in today and I was greeted with the message "We apologize, but the account used is currently not active. Please contact us if you have questions." I emailed them straight away to ask what was going on and I received a reply from "Emma" who I'm assuming is not even a real person. I was told there was a problem with my account and it was deactivated, completely out of the blue. I was given a standard reply. I have not been fraudulent or deceptive in anyway so I asked if they could tell me what was actually wrong with my information. In response I just got the same message again, copied and pasted. I'm not impressed. I wasn't even given an explanation or an email notifying me. I only realized there was a problem when I couldn't sign in. Now I regret giving them my personal information in the first place. Don't make the same mistake I did!

Take One When Bored and Call Me In The Morning.

April 12, 2015 by Cain from United States

As the joking title implies, I've been a member of MySurvey.com for .. well, I don't know how long .. a year or almost there .. ? The first few weeks, I was pretty happy and got my first payment cashout early .. but it took almost two weeks to show up in my Paypal. From there, it was slooooow and it still is. I keep my membership because they haven't ban me or pulled any crap but I only go there when I'm done with other sites and still bored enough to spend some time clicking through something to pass the time while doing other things / waiting on other things. In close to or a year's time, they've paid me a whole whopping $50. It's nice if you're bored, but it's slow and you won't see much turnover from them .. as I write this, though, there's been alot more surveys and I've earned alot more points faster than ever, so maybe it will change or maybe it's the shifting of the tide. Either way, no interaction with their customer service .. they award points when you qualify, and seem to favor long surveys for large chunks but it will take a long time to ever get to a payment from them. Best for the bored or the exceeding patient.

If there was a 0 star I'd tick that!

Do NOT join this company. It's a rip off and you'll be wasting your time. Before Mysurvey it was known as Lightspeed and those were the good days when you actually received your rewards and there was more of a personal service but now, I think it's a con. The customer service team are rude and don't address your issues correctly even though in the header of each email from EMMA!! they say `your issue has been resolved'. You're continually kicked out, you're continually not suitable for the survey even after you've spent 10 minutes answering their questions and the amount of technical issues is untrue. I was a loyal customer for 15 years and today I have finally deleted this complete garbage of a site. It's funny how just before I was due to claim my £3 rewards in Paypal vouchers, most of the surveys I've completed in the last few days have not been recognised and therefore not entered to receive my rewards.
