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!

One Star Isn't Low Enough

December 24, 2019 by Phoenix from United States

Updated review:

I belonged to both MySurvey & GlobalTestMarket for many years. It's been a long time since either of them was a good panel, but it's only gotten worse now that they've combined as LifePoints.

You will receive dozens of survey invites a week. Almost all of them will pay very poorly. Those with a decent incentive will take 20-30 minutes to complete, & then tell you that you didn't qualify. In fact almost any survey you attempt will disqualify you with no rewards, often after gathering a lot of personal information.

Contacting customer service will require sending numerous e-mails on the same subject, & rarely getting credited in the end. Stay away from this one. This company does not value its members.

Problems

December 13, 2019 by ann from United States

Update: I posted how my email provider again marked lifepoint surveys as spam and lifepoint was very quick to deactivate my acct. I contacted them and was told I had to sign up using a different email and they cannot reactivate my account. I did that and started a new email acct with lifepoints and they did transfer my points from the old acct to the new one. BUT I am not getting ANY surveys at all in my new acct. and when I sign into the acct with my new acct I have an error message and no surveys to take. Error: PS_506: No surveys available at this time. At least they did transfer my points and I was able to cash them out and didn't lose them. I have emailed them a few times about not receiving any surveys and the error message on their main page but no response. I AM getting an occasional non survey email from lifepoints at my old email address and I noticed a few again went to my spam folder. Looks like I am done with them since they won't answer my emails or fix the error problem or send any surveys.

For some reason my email provider marked a survey from lifepoints as spam. I found it in my spam folder and I marked it was not spam. Lifepoints deactivated my account. I have contacted them and explained that sometimes my email provider will mark something as spam, even emails from family and friends. In fact a few years ago everything was marked as spam by my email provider and I went through weeks of trying to get survey companies to activate my accts. I hope lifepoints will reinstate my acct but so far I have heard nothing from them and cannot sign in. They have been a so-so company. I get a lot of surveys but many I don't qualify for or get an error and no points but I have stuck with it and have received some nice rewards.

Awful site

December 11, 2019 by patty from United States

They use to be good then one day they just wouldn't let me login anymore, and when I contacted them, they would say they are working on the problem. Funny, I had 25.00 to cash out to and never responded to my email anymore after the 10 tenth time complaining. Can't believe they are doing this now, beware of lifepoints they will get to you.

Same Result As Everyone Else

December 10, 2019 by Chris from United States

If you've read any other one-star review of LifePoints, then you probably already know my story: did a couple of surveys that didn't pay me at the end, messaged their staff and was told that it'd take a week or two but they'd compensate me, then was told that MAYBE they'd compensate me if their internal audit confirmed everything and then, finally, was locked out of my account a day or two later.

The only fortunate thing for me was that I always obsessively empty my reward totals the first chance I get, so while I should've finished with a balance of about 1,100 points, this is only the equivalent of about $5 cash.

You don't want to use this site, at least not with any sizable investment of time or effort. If you absolutely feel that you must, empty your cash at every opportunity because odds are significant that you'll randomly get locked out... "accidentally."

avoid this one

November 2, 2019 by jan from United States

You can't trust this company. They rename it, dump you our, don't answer technical issues and constantly lose your points. At one time this was good, but they are horrible now.
