REDEEMING REWARDS

Beginning early 2019, Lightspeed shut down MySurvey in some countries, and merged those members into LifePoints. In June of 2019, MySurvey panels and members worldwide were fully integrated into LifePoints.

MySurvey is an online survey community where members can influence the future of the products and services that they use each and every day. They've rewarded over $32 million USD worldwide to date! MySurvey is part of Lightspeed, both owned by WPP, one of the world's leading communications services groups. MySurvey has been collecting American opinions since 1946 as National Family Opinion, NFO and TNS.

Redeeming Your Points

1,000 points are the equivalent of $10 USD. You need at least 1,000 points to begin redeeming your rewards. Points are generally rewarded once the survey has been completed, but in some cases, points will be rewarded after the survey closes (which could take up to 3 months).

My Survey offers an extensive number of reward options:

  • exchange your points for a payment to your PayPal account. 1,000 points = $10 PayPal payment

Bonus Sweepstakes Opportunities

Every month, a few members are randomly selected to receive 10,000 points in exchange for being active on MySurvey. You receive an entry into the sweepstakes when you join the MySurvey panel and participate in panel activities (surveys, quick matches, mini polls or other activities offered).

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."

It Is What It Is!

September 17, 2010 by susan from United States

Panel member since 2001, and I am still happy to receive Lightspeed's links. They are legit! I have selected many little rewards over the years despite the fact Very inconsistant in my replies. *If you respond quickly you are very likly to qualify for the survey, if you don't someone that spot in their demographic.

there is nobody out there

September 17, 2010 by Joe from United States

I have tried numerous times to reach someone at Lightspeed Panel to help me resolve a rewards problem and even telephoned them (after getting their phone number from Survey Police). All I got was an answering machine, of course, and even though I left my name, phone number and email, no one has ever bothered to respond. Don't waste your time with this outfit! There are some good panels out there, but this one stinks!

Decent - but there's better

September 17, 2010 by Brian from United States

Lightspeed hasn't been bad to me, but I think there's better. For one, the incentives (points) could stand to be increased like with most point-system schemes.

I also don't particularly enjoy doing their surveys and they are long and/or annoying repetitive, which diminishes my zeal in filling them out.

Really going down hill

September 17, 2010 by Michael from United States

I've been a member since 2003. I have made $65, however, it is becoming harder and harder, and more frustrating to earn points and cash. You use to get cash, then they went to PayPal at a higher points/cash rate, and now you can get Amazon.com gift cards at a slightly lower rate. The rest of the "Rewards" are not worth the points. As others have noted the amount you earn per survey is pretty low. Normally, you will get 75 points per 20-30 minute survey. This translates to $0.68 with Amazon.com or $0.65 with PayPal.

It use to be that when Lightspeed sent you a survey, you could bet that you would qualify and receive compensation. Now, you will be lucky if you qualify for half of the surveys they send you. About 2/3 of the surveys you appear to qualify for will end about 15 to 30 minutes into them with a message that the survey has reached the total number of respondents and is now closed. This is why Lightspeed surveys are at the bottom of my priority list.

When it works it's great, BUT...

September 17, 2010 by Maria from United States

When you have a problem with Lightspeed, good luck get it resolved. I have had problems getting my points credited (after finishing the survey) and all emails sent to the Lightspeed do not get answered. It is annoying, to say the least.
