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."

Stolen Points

September 9, 2014 by Dianne from United States

I have been a member of mysurvey.com for years and always thought they were fair, legitimate and honest. However, last May 2013 I requested a check for $50 for my 5500 points. They were changing something on their website and apparently my request never went through - but they DID delete my 5500 points. When I hadn't received my check by July 2013, I started emailing them to find out where my check was. To make a long - and unproductive - story short, they said they had checked their records, never received my request, their records were correct and mine were not. Plus, any further emails from me would not be answered and only archived. End result: No points and no check. Once I hit another 5500 points and cash out my $50, I will be cancelling my membership with this company/website.

Old Faithful--To Ye of Little Faith

August 30, 2014 by Yusef from United States

It surprises me how many people are saying that they're jumping ship from MySurvey--that it's "not what it used to be," harkening back to the days of Lightspeed. I'm sorry, but, they're still just as good as they've ever been.

After returning from a 5-year hiatus (I fell off from all surveys during that time), I remembered that Lightspeed was one of my favorites. I was mildly disappointed that my lack of timely response caused them to freeze my old account, but I had no qualms making a new one for MySurvey.

Here I am, two weeks after rejoining and I've cashed out once and am halfway through cashing out again. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not there are any hiccups with Paypal.

The surveys are sporadic, but you'll definitely see 2 or 3 a day (Hint: visit the SITE, don't rely on email as they don't email you until awhile after the surveys have appeared.) The survey topics are varied and interesting, as well. Their support responds quickly and usually quite favorably if you have any issues in taking the surveys. Seriously, you guys need to stop this 5-or-1 star treatment. They were a solid panel then, and they're still a solid panel now.

ain't what it used to be

August 29, 2014 by S.E. from United States

I used to do pretty well with these guys, but over the last few months I've found it harder and harder to justify visiting this site. It's taking much longer to accumulate points. I'm quitting!

They have fallen.

August 26, 2014 by Jamin from United States

I've done surveys with these guys for 7 ish years. They aren't worth it anymore.

I used to get 5 cents for trying a survey, then usually get about 3$ an hour worth of rewards.

This has completely changed.

Now to find out if you qualify you have to do 10 minutes worth of questions, then all you get is a "sweeps entry" which you will never win. I went from making about $40 a year doing surveys in free time to making $10 in the last two years.

The final straw was the last survey I did, keeping track of what I drank all week. I was supposed to get $30 for it, but after a month and no reward I e-mailed them. After three months of "investigation" they claimed I never took the survey.

When I took the beverage survey they were saving my data all week. When I finished the survey it even asked where to mail my reward. They would have had to delete my information to not have any evidence of me taking the survey. That or they are just lying.

I can't recommend this website anymore, they are no longer worth it and cheat their users.
