Lightspeed Panel is one of my favorite survey/research panels online. I have been their member for more than two years now. Most of their surveys are relevant to me. I can easily reach payout with them. They deposit payment directly to my Paypal account.

I redeemed my points for a $20 Paypal credit on Monday, and am now waiting for a confirmation from Paypal (it said 5-7 days). In the mean time, my email with my Lightspeed account was not the one I use with Paypal. Thankfully, I mailed their support and they told me how to add my email to my Paypal account. When I submitted a form through the site for a couple problems a while ago, I never got a response. But, when I mailed them directly for this problem, I got a response the next day (I emailed them pretty late at night, so a next-day response was great!)

I've been a member of the site for almost 2 years now and it is one of my top 3 survey sites. I have made over 100.00 from them. Besides getting paid from them I really enjoy the benefits of also being able to try out products. It's great because they also send out products that my whole family can be involved in trying out.

Lightspeed Panel is a EXCELLENT website!!! I've been a member for almost 8 years. Lauren, the panel's manager, is a great person and she has made my panel experience the best that I have ever had. The point system is fast and easy to earn and the site has great rewards to choose from. I would recommend this site to everyone!!!

I love taking surveys anyway (who doesn't love someone needing their opinion) and their surveys are easy. Sometimes you get to participate in smaller focus groups, and one survey even offered to send my daughter a Palm Pilot and pay $50 for tracking her snack food habits. Neato!

I've been a lightspeed member for a little over a year now and have generally found it to be good. I'm a student and so often don't have too much time for making extra money but lightspeed has always been helpful to boost my income a bit. I would recommend it to other students who are pushed for time to earn, i get several surveys a week which is good.

I love this survey site. They constantly send you surveys which have enough points and they rarely will disqualify you. Actually all the surveys that they have sent to me I have been able to complete and get points of up to 150. The least I have gotten is 75 points. This helps for allows you to reach your target faster than others whose point system is very low. In a day I get 2-3 surveys. It is important you answer ‘surveys about you’ which gives a better idea of what surveys should be sent to you. You also can do mini polls which puts you into a sweepstakes entry to receive 5,000. I do not bank on this but you never now could be the lucky one. I also like they give a chance to redeem money or gifts.

They say our opinions are important and valuable to them, so why are they paying us peanuts for our time to complete their important surveys. Works out roughly at $2.20 per hour if you follow all the directions. So much for our valuable opinions. The rate they pay is a little more than the electricity it takes to run your computer.
They always underestimate the time it takes to complete a survey. I've done 20 minute surveys that take up to an hour. The only way a 20 minute survey will take 20 minutes is if you flick through it without reading anything and click on any random boxes, but not possible if you follow the directions and "read everything carefully, answer the questions honestly and think about your responses"
So a 20 minute survey that takes 40 minutes is worth about $1.70, and you'll have to do 3 of these to get a minimum of $5 PayPal credit. I've been a member of the site for 6 months and have earned a total of $20.
The surveys and subjects are usually boring and repetitive, the only remotely interesting survey I've had so far was about new movies in the cinemas.
The most irritating thing in the qualifying questions, for example a survey about beer or alcohol, they ask how many glasses of beer I have consumed every week in the last 3 months. If I answer 2 glasses of beer a week, I automatically don't qualify for the survey. Just because I'm not a raging alcoholic doesn't mean I know nothing about beer brands or have an opinion about them.
Not the best survey site I've seen, but then again I have seen much much worse.
