Im sure everyone's seen those survey sites around, "Do a survey and go into the draw to win an iPod!", and it turns out about 10 million other people are in the draw, and the surveys you do ask for your email address, and you end up getting truckloads of spam from them.
Well, lightspeed is a site where you fill out surveys, but instead of just getting a chance to win a prize, you get rewards! Once you have enough lightspeed points, from filling out surveys, you can redeem them for PayPal money. 1 lightspeed point = 1 cent, most surveys earn from 100 to 250 points, and take between 10-30 minutes to complete.
You can redeem 500 points for $5 PayPal money, or 100 points for $10. If you'd prefer not to spend your points on PayPal, you can also use them to make donations to various organisations!
Whenever a new survey is out, LightSpeed will send you an email inviting you to take part in this survey. Whenever you complete a survey, you will also be entered in a draw to win $1500.

I believe that the website address for lightspeed is www.lightspeedpanel.com



Does anyone know if this site is legit? Anything offering free money kind of sends a signal that it might not be safe to try. Hopefully some people in here have done this lightspeed thing before. I'll pass on it for now until I hear more.

Pyramid schemes are not fun.

Sounds good, well u told me about it anyway so yeah, if i bother, ill probably use it to buy a radio for my site, or runescape membership, i just hope it works.

LightSpeed Consumer Panel is definitely not some scam site. I have been a member there for years already now. The problem I have with this survey site is that they don't give out enough points for the time you spend on their surveys. Worse yet, you don't get a guarantee on the points earned unless you qualify for the surveys. So if you enter a survey and fill out the demographics about yourself, that will decide if you qualify or not. Sometimes they are somewhat sly about this, and ask you a bit more...wasting more of your time and getting no points in return. They do enter you in the $5,000 sweepstakes though...haven't won yet

Almost reached enough points to cash out again though...

Not sure I understand correctly. You seem to say that 1 point is worth 1 cent.
one survey gives you 100 to 250 points, and needs 10 to 30 minutes.
This means that you do one to three surveys in one hour, so this gives you one to three dollars in one hour. This seems rather a lot of time for rather few money, maybe if you wash cars or sell sandwiches you will earn more money faster.
However, you also say that you have one PayPal dollar for 10 points, which is ten times more.
At least, you should review your own post to clarify this : cents to points to paypal dollars to dollars. I prefer stick to the simple rule : one dollar is worth 100 cents.

Ahhh yeah, I have signed up to this one and a few others before in the past.

It looks legit enough to me, but I never really got into them much, they barely sent anything out at first and when I lost interest is when they all started spamming me, more or less lol.

So yeah, use a spare email if you have one for that kind of thing, I usually have a spare account I use for signing up to things that look rather questionable.

Sounds okay, I might try it out. I'm a member on another survey panel, they email me every month or so about a survey that I already qualified for, because I post my profile on their site (it's private) and I already made $53 on just two surveys, it's really great because I'm on the computer anyways, might as well turn it into cash And they don't spam your inbox too, which is a bonus.

Whoops, wrong address. It is lightspeedpanel.com.

Yeah, I made a mistake with the 1 point = 1 cent thing, I think it's just a bit less than that. 575 points = 500 cents, if anyone wants to do the conversion!

My only one problem with it is there aren't enough surveys. they should have more, more often.

Totally legal, and I've received money from them just as other survey sites do similar schemes. They're one of the few ones I've found that actually pay by PayPal, though.


I completely agree with that. They just don't send anywhere near enough surveys to make it worth your while. Sure, once a week you'll find one that you qualify for after you've taken the screening questions for a load of other surveys, but there's so many other ways of making money online that I'm amazed people still bother with this sort of thing.

I've recently got in to writing articles for people, and in terms of the amount you earn per hour (assuming you get reasonable rates) it's far more worthwhile. Admiteddly, you need to seek out the work, but I found it worth it. Almost everyone who looks for writers pays via PayPal as well, and there's no hassle about minimum payouts.

I Don't Like These Kind Of Sites. There Usually Scam Sites. They Always Promise that they will deliver money to your P account in 7 days or something like that mean while during those days they just suspend your account for violating the terms of service, mean while you didn't. Then When You Try To Contact Them They Never Reply To Your Email. But Still Thanks For Sharing This With Us!
