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).

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."

terrible customer service

January 5, 2016 by Tim from United States

I have been a member of My Survey for years, and they have been one of my favorite sites. Until recently that is. My account has been rendered inactive twice in the past month. The first time, after several emails to support, they reinstated me. This time, I have emailed them 6 times and have not even received an email acknowledging that that my request was received. I don't know why this was done and didn't receive an explanation the first time it happened. Can't recommend this site anymore. Very poor customer service.

I am not eligible for most surveys

December 25, 2015 by Nancy from United States

I usually get disqualified on my survey for surveys, and sometimes I spend 15 minutes on a survey before I get disqualified.

Can't make up my mind

December 17, 2015 by James from United States

I used to really like the site & surveys but they tried to get me to do a survey for 20-30 minutes a day for 7 days for next to nothing. I haven't been back since. I want to give them another try but I don't want to waste my time.

Bullies

December 17, 2015 by Viv from United States

I was a member of My Survey for 5+ years. This year, I cashed in my reward points to help with Christmas, and immediately after that, they deactivated my account without telling me. When I emailed to ask why, I was sent a nasty, threatening email, saying they had audited my account and found that I had been lying on surveys (NOT true) and were going to report me to the "appropriate federal and state authorities" and said I would be going to jail for 10 years!!! Earning $200 from surveys is not worth being treated like this.

Don't waste your time on MySurvey

December 15, 2015 by Cheryl from United States

I had been a member of MySurvey for 40+ years from back when it was Carol Adams and the surveys were done by regular mail. They used to offer legitimate surveys paid with real money. I'd receive a $2 bill for every completed survey, and $5 for more complex surveys (like today's beverage diaries, for instance). In the past few years I've seen a steep decline in the quality of the surveys and rewards. I hadn't "qualified" for over 30 surveys in a row so I quit, but not before answering 20-30 questions before being "screened out." I actually completed the surveys, but in order NOT to give me my points (that can now be redeemed for prizes and gift cards) it says I "screened out" of the surveys. Very underhanded. Don't waste your time.
