Great Rewards Options

In order to request a reward, you must have a minimum of 550 LifePoints ($5) in your account. Once you've reached this balance, you can spend your LifePoints on three main reward options: gift cards, PayPal payments and donations. Note that rewards options may vary between countries.

  • e-Gift cards - With just 550 points, you can request a $5 e-gift card from Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy, Google Play, Apple Store, Marks & Spencer, Love2Shop, ebay, to gas stations, and more
  • PayPal payments - With 1200 points in your account, request a $10 PayPal payment.
  • Donations - Donate to a great charity with as little as $1 (110 points). Charities include: Red Cross, Special Olympics, Eco Matcher

All rewards are issued within 10 days of request. If requesting a PayPal payment, be sure your PayPal email address is the same as the e-mail address you used to sign up with Lifepoints.

Points Value: 550 Lifepoints = $5.00. Therefore, 10 points = $0.09

Survey Taking Experience

Take Surveys, Earn Points, Get Rewarded

As a LifePoints member, you can contribute your views and opinions by completing online surveys covering various aspects of your daily life. Other activities such as mini-polls, product testing and other types of data collection are also opportunities to earn LPs (LifePoints) to receive exceptional rewards including money and free gift cards.

Survey invitations are sent out by email and can be taken any time during the survey period. Members don’t need any special skills to complete the activities within LifePoints consumer panel. If you can contribute your thoughts and fill out the online survey, then you’re ready to go!

Survey Lengths

Survey lengths vary, however most surveys will take between 10-15 minutes to complete. Compensation awarded for every survey varies, and depends on its length, as well as the client's urgency for survey takers to complete it. The more urgent the assignment, the more points it will offer.

Receiving More Surveys

To ensure you're being invited to the maximum number of surveys, ensure your personal information on file is up to date. Do this by filling out the profile questions available in your account (which will earn you an extra 10 points!). This will help match you to the best possible surveys and will increase the number of market research studies that are most relevant to you and your lifestyle.

Tip! Be sure to add @LifePointsPanel.com to your list of trusted senders, address book or contact list so that survey invites make it to your inbox.

Earn Points for Disqualifications

If you start a survey but don’t get to finish it, LifePoints will reward you with a small number of points as recognition for your time and effort. Point amounts may be 2 or 3 points at a time and can help you reach a cash out sooner. You may earn up to 10 extra LifePoints a day this way, which means you can redeem your earnings for rewards sooner!

Pointless

October 26, 2021 by Mike from Germany

Sadly this site became useless. Had only problems the last couple of months. Whenever I try to redeem my over 10 Euro earn, I get an error message, no matter if it's Amazon, PayPal, etc.
The support just plays the waiting game: "Sorry, wait a few days, we'll take care of it". Two weeks later: "It's more complicated than we thought, give as another few days". Over a month now and still nothing is working.
I doubt I will ever see my money and just stopped using their surveys.

Disconcerting Manner When Dealing With Panellists

October 13, 2021 by Andrea from United Kingdom

Update:

I acknowledge the response provided here by LifePoints but I have already closed the account due to the nature of the incident described in my original review. For the sake of balance and fairness, I can confirm that my request to exchange my accumulated points for a reward was honoured by Lifepoints and was carried out within a matter of days of the request.


Original Review:

I've been completing surveys with various companies for well over fifteen years and have always done so with diligence. That's not to say that it would be impossible for me to make an error - nobody can say that - but every survey I do is done with honesty and as much accuracy and detail as the construction of the survey allows.

Having noticed that points had been deducted from my account - the value of an entire survey - I made an enquiry about the reason behind it.

The response to my query was that I "...did not complete the study in an honest manner...". The response then went on to bandy about such vocabulary as "false", "misleading" and "inconsistent".

On a practical note, the points were re-instated but this does not serve to undo the heavy-handed nature of the response. It wasn't so much a response as a character assassination!

Had I made an error? I was not given the opportunity to examine what the point of contention actually had been. However, even if an error had occurred in my completion of a survey, I find the ease with which Lifepoints staff accuse long established survey panellists as being "dishonest" and "misleading"to be not only disturbing but actually rather rude.

Temporarily Suspended?

October 7, 2021 by Carol from United States

I tried to log in and got an error message "TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Sorry, your membership is temporarily unavailable. Please contact our Help Center for support."
No explanation. I tried to contact support to no avail as of yet
