To the best of my knowledge, Lightspeed is not allowing new members right now unless you can find a banner (like Pinecone). For those of you who already have an account, post your HEADS UP notifications here:
$60 Study!!!
Name: Beverage Survey #16361
Time: 10 minutes
Lightspeed Points: 75
Screener was about 8-10 questions long and took 2 minutes. It won't let me copy the text from the next screen and it's WAY too long to type, but it's basically telling me that they are going to send my daughter a "Specially Designed Palm Pilot" to record beverage consumption for the next two weeks. They are also sending accessories for it. All materials must be returned at the end of the study (I assume this includes the Palm Pilot) and then payment of $60 will be issued.

For Future Reference
If you have redeemed for an amazon GC and have not recieved it in a timely manner through your email, you do have access to it without the email.
Follow the steps below which will help you locate your code. I actually just did this because I redeemed for a GC 6 days ago and never got my email with the code in it.
You can view your certificate through you account at all times.
1- Sign in to your “Lightspeed Consumer Panel” account.
2- Select the “Lightspeed Points Account” link at the top of the screen.
3- Select the “Redeem” button.
4- Now go to the “Rewards Account” section.
5- Then change the date range at the top of the page to include the date the order was placed and click “go”.
6- Then click on the order number link and then the “View E-cert” link.
7- This will allow you to view the actual certificate sent to you including the code.
HTHs those having trouble getting their certificate when the site is not having technical issues. :)

I dunno, but I did a survey yesterday for 150 points - a longer health survey - and I never got any points. I finished the survey.
I got in that lightspeed survey for the digital pictures online - I did all these pictures, posted them - was supposed to get 1000 points, never did. I wrote to them, never got a reply.
I've about quit doing any lightspeed surveys unless they are very, very short. That digital picture one about did me in. I was so mad!

Sounds like you've had pretty bad luck with them. They have always paid me quickly. I got an *extra* $10 (Visa Card) with the $60 study that they didn't even tell me I was getting.
I'm done with the mobile surveys though, unless they tell me before I take it that there are point involved.

I had a similar problem with the digital pictures. Try calling them at 877-721-5118. They were very helpful. Sometimes my points don't credit right away. I keep really good records and have made almost $400 this year. hth

File a complaint with surveypolice.com. You have to register, but it's free. I filed a complaint against Mindfield last week, and after some back-and-forthing, got credit for 2 surveys that I completed and they were going to deny.

That was a good idea. Have you tried calling? I s/w Therese last time and she was wonderful. Serioously doubt "Lauren" even exists, just a way to make things seem more personalized imho. I have NEVER received an email back so never go that route anymore.

I have been doing the mobile ones for 2 yrs now and only 2 of them ever gave pts and it was only 15 pts each. A few others said they would give pts, but they never credited and they were always like 5-10 pts. I haven't had any in the last year say they were worth any pts. I don't recall it ever saying anything about those being worth more points than regular online surveys though either.
Zoom's mobile panel gives tons of points for theirs, but they dont have a very good selection of items to redeem for. I have a few hundred thousand pts with them and have only ever redeemed 2 times in 10 years. Both times were just this year though, for a lint shaver and a dual handest cordless phone lol.

I'm not even registered with Zoom anymore. I stopped doing their surveys about 4-5 years ago. I hate that company.
I'm getting close to that point with TestSpin because they are so hard to qualify for. I skip over every TestSpin offer now, unless it is $5+ or says it's VERY short (PT potential). TestSpin sends me about 10-15 offers a day and I *might* give one a try each day.

I stay with Zoom just for the PT's because they do tons of them. They also have been doing alot of IA's and you get your GC the day after the IA. Zoom's surveys are never long, so I don't mind doing them. Their "prize" catalog sucks, but that doesn't bother me because I like the PT's.
I do TS too. I DQ on some but always make the max amount allowed each year with them.

I'll try them again. When I stopped using Zoom a few years ago it was because there was a huge dry spell on PTs and they only paid in crappy prizes. I'll go back to them for the PTs though.

I got paid yesterday for a palm pilot survey (mine was a snack survey, too) back in late Sept. So, I thought that was really fast. I was expecting it to take until Dec. to get payment. Anyhow, my snack test was in mid-late Sept. for 2 weeks if that gives you a time frame. I "think" I mailed the palm pilot back on the 28th of Sept.

That happens to me on a fairly regular basis [and did so with this survey as well]. I always send an email to ahedde@lightspeedresearch.com and lauren@us.lightspeedpanel.com - since I never know which is the better one to use - with a subject line 'Survey#17672 Didn't Receive Points' with a brief explanation in the email about the problem and date I took the survey and whatnot and I've always had the points credited to me within a week or so. Last time they didn't even reply, the points just showed up in the account.

I have a question - I cashed out on the 18th with an electronic $25 Amazon gift card, but still haven't received it. How long does it usually take? This is the first time I have cashed out with them.
Emailing them doesnt seem to do anything, I always redeem for $5 amazon gcs and they usually arrive within 45 mins (via email) twice I didn't get it....and sent emails (to get no reply).

Sorry you guys are having problems. This is one of my favorites. Just got a $60 visa card for palm pilot this week and $20 paypal also this week. Have cashed out several times with these guys and money is in paypal within 3 days.

irishsoccermbw, I recenly had the same problem. After numerious unanswered e-mail to Lauren I finally got a responce(6 e-mails over a week). She does not deal with these issues. You have to log on, go to your points account, go into redeem, and use the contact us button. this is for perks.com, the company that handles their rewards. Unless you already did that too, in which case I have not been helpful! I did have to e-mail them twice but I did get my amazon cash. Good luck!

22388 Invoke for 1000 pts. 60 minutes on 3/31/09
I got this and screened out, then got the same survey again through Greenfield for $20.
1000 points is about $9.25, I think.

Well, I just got off the phone with Noah at Lightspeed, very, very helpful. My account was rejected by aol(spam) but he will reinstate, This same thing happened woth ACOP and then I switched to FF. So anyone not getting surveys may want to try that. Also, found out there is NOT a Lauren. IT handles survey payout problems but they do not reply to technical issues. The response above by shannonmnk is correct. Contacting Perks.com through Lightspeed is the only way to resolve the payment issues. Noah said that they are aware of the problem because of all of the emails. He is assuming that Perks had to re-order a batch of Amazons.?? Idk that could be bs, but is possible. Anyway to sum this up, I suggest calling Lightspeed at 877-721-5118. hth some.

Recently the Lightspeed Consumer Panel and Perks.com have experienced technical difficulties that have prevented some panelists from redeeming their Lightspeed Points. Please know the issue has now been resolved and we are working diligently to insure all affected panelists are assisted as promptly as possible.
If you have attempted to redeem for a prize and received an error message or page time out which resulted in your points being deducted without a successful confirmation of the redemption being placed, we will be refunding the redeemed Lightspeed Points in full to you as soon as possible.

If you have redeemed for an amazon GC and have not recieved it in a timely manner through your email, you do have access to it without the email.
Follow the steps below which will help you locate your code. I actually just did this because I redeemed for a GC 6 days ago and never got my email with the code in it.
You can view your certificate through you account at all times.
1- Sign in to your “Lightspeed Consumer Panel” account.
2- Select the “Lightspeed Points Account” link at the top of the screen.
3- Select the “Redeem” button.
4- Now go to the “Rewards Account” section.
5- Then change the date range at the top of the page to include the date the order was placed and click “go”.
6- Then click on the order number link and then the “View E-cert” link.
7- This will allow you to view the actual certificate sent to you including the code.

This is great info. You should put this in the Wiki.
We should put the phone number that Sportsdoll posted in the Wiki as well..
I just had to call them again. They got my problem straightened out on 3/26, and reversed my Amazon to Paypal. I redeemed again on 4/3. I was able to check from your instructions and see that Perks canceled my transaction again. I'm not sure if they thought it was the same order from 3/26 or not, but Lightspeed is researching it.

In the last 3 days I have recieved 2 seperate surveys, both dealing with cell phones. At the end of the first survey I recieved a neilson invite that would pay $10 initially and $5 more after they monitered my phone for 1 year, honestly I felt this was chinsey and I was not interested in having my phone monitered for a year. That being said today I got another survey that was almost exactly the same and ended in the same invite from neilson, only this time it was for $20 up front and $10 at the end of the year. Personally I am sill not interested but if you are maybe you should hold out for the second offer.

Seeing this thread reminded me I haven't gotten any surveys from Lightspeed in a while so I thought I'd log in and take a look and whaddyaknow, my info isn't in their database anymore either. I too was almost at the point of cashing out [$5 PayPal], around 550 points.
Deleting cookies and using different browsers did not work for me, nor do I understand why that would even be an issue now since I never clear the cookies and always used Mozilla and this has never once been a problem in my 10 months of using Lightspeed. Plus it seems highly odd that this problem is happening to a bunch of people who were on the verge of cashing out at the same time.
Guess I will have to contact 'Lauren.' Then later I'll call up my good pal the Easter bunny and we'll go ride some unicorns :lol:

Hey just a heads up...I logged in today to redeem my points for an amazon gift card, and on the checkout page, noticed that under my name, there was a completely different address! Not that it would matter since I was redeeming electronic gift cards, but still...someone got into my account, and I have no idea how. Just a heads up to check and make sure your address hasn't been changed. Mine was changed to an Arizona address.
gocartromance
04-28-2009, 03:57 PM
^I've had that problem every single time I've redeemed, but the address is always weird gibberish [ex: the zip code has letters for some of the numbers] and I always change it and everything is fine but the next time I go to redeem, it changes right back to the exact same bizarre address.
I just started getting survey emails from them again - I guess they reinstated my account when I emailed them about it, they just never replied/told me!

btw those who got accepted to the palm thing and decide that it may not be worth the hassle, there is a way to revert the palm back to store bought.
yeah yeah some of you will complain no one is forcing you to do it.
and for the record there is NO tracking devie inside the unit.
a hard reset will revert everything to store bought and will act brand new.
step 1. hold down the power buttin with the unit on.
step 2. while holding the power button down, hit the reset button on the back with the stylus. let go of the reset button. but keep holding down the power button until you see a msg on the screen.
step 3. press up on the dpad when asked to do so to accept the format of the unit and start fresh.
if you like to, and can. you can connect it to your pc and backup everything in case you change your mind.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really like Lightspeed. I seem to qualify for 95% of their surveys, they credit points fast and it seems like points to rewards are fair and reasonable.
Their surveys are generally quick, some I found to be surpringly quick and some are even pretty interesting.
I cashed out about a month and a half ago for a $10 amazon gift card (I was "testing" to make sure they followed thru unlike other survey cos, i got the card within an hour to my email) and I'm like 200 points away from a $25 card in a little over a month.
I tried to sign up with them but couldn't. I think it said something about needing a banner? Are they getting like Pinecone?
Anyone know where I could like for a banner?
Thank you

I like them, and have been with them for about 4 years. I was surprised as well how fast they pay you. I cashed out for an amazon gift card yesterday, and less than thirty minutes later it was in my inbox It used to take from one day to three days.. I have been getting a lot of surveys from them lately,

The one thing I don't like about them are their point to reward ratios are almost pathetically low. A lot of surveys they send are 75 points for 20-30 minutes which, in relation to their reward system, means you're only getting around $.65 - that's just ridiculous for that amount of time. So even though you may be cashing out quickly, you're really getting much less for your time as you would on other survey sites.

I just replied to my follow up email inquiring about this, that's insane if they send us a product(s) to test and then boot us when it comes time to do the follow up questions. How are they going to complete their research if panel members cannot give feedback on the products.

Well, I just got off the phone with Noah at Lightspeed, very, very helpful. My account was rejected by aol(spam) but he will reinstate, This same thing happened woth ACOP and then I switched to FF. So anyone not getting surveys may want to try that. Also, found out there is NOT a Lauren. IT handles survey payout problems but they do not reply to technical issues. The response above by shannonmnk is correct. Contacting Perks.com through Lightspeed is the only way to resolve the payment issues. Noah said that they are aware of the problem because of all of the emails. He is assuming that Perks had to re-order a batch of Amazons.?? Idk that could be bs, but is possible. Anyway to sum this up, I suggest calling Lightspeed at 877-721-5118. hth some.
Repps go to Sportsdoll for the phone number to Lightspeed..

I have something like over 6,000 points but their GC section for redemption is pretty bad. I wish they'd just have the option for certain dollar amounts and then you get to choose which merchant you want the card for. I did redeem some points a while back for a CVS gift card but I haven't seen it listed since.

on the bottom right, theres a drop down menu and you can choose the retailer you want to get a gift card from, it has more options under there- I usually search that way instead of the larger selection on the right side and the 1-2000 points (or whatever) selection.

I just join lighting panel about a week ago and its the best web survey I have encounter. (greenfield i got 4 bucks out of 8 hours of surveys and they owe me 13 dollars and they don't respond to my emails at first they did that I was wrong than I screenshoted the promo that if every survey for .50 you get for doing it. Survey spot just sweepstakes no money at all 3 bucks for doing about 10 hours of surveys. Globalmarket is ok I get points for surveys I do, I just join myview I got 4 bucks I hope i get them and it gets better mysurvey 5 bucks apparently I had to complain cuz i got paid one dollar when i was promised 5 I won at the end) So I think the best there is at the moment is lighting panel for me.

Also ya lightspeed and mysurvey are ok (just that little problem but I got paid at the end) are fine.Marie Brighton is with Synovate/Global Opinions Panel. I've been with them for a while and have tested quite a few products through them. I'm doing a year(?) long survey currently where I record purchases of greeting cards, gift wrap, etc. Every time I complete a recording period I receive 1,000 points.
It takes a lot of points to actually cash out so if you are looking to make money easily it may not be for you. I mainly enjoy getting to try new products which is why I stay with them.
$ 5 (5000 points)
$ 10 (10000 points)
$ 15 (15000 points)
$ 20 (20000 points)
$ 25 (25000 points)

Apparently the survey had glitches and either the project manager or the programmer wasn't able to fix them- but she assured me that everyone who got the pt of the shampoo will get credited their points for using it- and if you haven't please call them and they will fix it.
