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

lifepoints surveys

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!

Login Problem

August 23, 2019 by chong from Hong Kong

I received email late March telling me that GlobalTestMarket and MySurvey will be combined and the name will be changed to LifePoints with everything unchanged including all points previously gained and accumulated. Then when I tried to login with LifePoints, it said I have to change my browser language for activating the account. The result is it doesn't work. I emailed them several times but they just had the same answer, change my browser language, but I still couldn't login. The following is the final reply from them : If you have received survey invitation email that means your account is currently active.
Please refer to previous reply of telling you how to adjust your browser to have access to your account. I would like to know how to join you guys in claiming my points back.

Update : The issue was resolved. My previous points gained from both GTM and MS can be redeemed, new surveys received and done. Thank you so much for the help from LP customer service team.

New Name SOS (Same old Service)

August 23, 2019 by Bill from United States

They advise weeks ago about the new site, and I hoped that they would take into consideration all the problems reported and improve the site. Quit MY Survey and was planning to quit Global Test Market but decided to wait to see the improvements. To my surprise what I thought could not get worse DID. Slower, reduced reward options and appears they eliminated quarterly drawings with no notice and no post of last quarter winners? How does anyone in management or IT keep their jobs?

What great news today I received a response to the above. It just took 2 months to receive a copied message sent to numerous individual from Ben asking me to come back. Ben: if you will not answer our concerns in this public forum how do you expect us to have any faith that things have changed!

Surveys

August 21, 2019 by Cristine from United States

What can I say, this has been the worst transition to a new survey company that I've ever experienced. One of my favorites Global Test Market, merged into LifePoints. All my points moved as well, no problem with that. What I don't like about this company is when you get the email invite for a survey it's not for a particular survey. So you log into the site & then you pick whatever survey you want to "try" to complete.
I never qualify for anything. And I try 3-4 times trying to qualify & still nothing. Horrible. I basically redeemed most of my points & I'm going to be closing this account soon.

Hi Cristine,

We are sorry you've been screened out of some surveys while in due course.

Some surveys require only a limited number of responses per category, for example, from a region or age group. Sometimes the number of participants needed for a certain survey is reached very quickly and we are forced to close the survey as soon the quota is reached.

We hope that we can welcome you back to the LifePoints Community soon.

Kind regards,
Ben
closed my account when it come to redeem

August 4, 2019 by Lorna from Canada

It's been a nightmare when Global changed to Life Points. I tried to redeem $70 paypal cash in June. But it seems you need to change email address, as they don't allow the survey account email address and paypal address are different . Since Jun 3, I've tried to change the address to match my paypal account . It took me 3 weeks to finally changed the address in my profile, but after that, they closed my account!!!!!! I can't log in , here all my points are gone!!!! write to them almost every week on Jul, no response at all!! I would be very careful if you got lots of points with them, redeem it even just $10! I am with this survey company more then 5 years. Here is the end of the relationship with it!
