    I have just reached my first £10 on Valued Opinions which you can exchange for a number of vouchers, including Amazon. I'm really pleased with it!

    Did anyone else get an Amazon voucher from Lightspeed last week for completing survey [FONT=Helvetica,Arial]K11746?

    It took me a few days to realise that I hadn't ordered an Amazon voucher from them so I checked the email again and it said that it was for completing that survey. Checked my lightspeed account and I was credited with points for that survey in November 2008 so I'm a bit confused :confused: Guess I shouldn't complain though, I'll just consider it payment for all the broken survey links I've had in the past few months.

    I have just logged on to check again and it is showing that when you reach 1000 points you can redeem for an Amazon or Capital Bond voucher as well as Nectar points or donate to charity.

    Not intending to be rude but just a question, were you logged into UK site?

    Hope this helps
  • now that lightspeed have stopped sending any surveys of any value recently?:confused:

    I tend to find them hit and miss anyway- I remember them being 'a bit lax' a few months ago, I emailed 'Lauren' to ask if they were going bankrupt or something (this is about 6 months ago) to which they said no, they had just no surveys that fitted my criterea.

    They have though lowered their points per survey in many cases- I think this is like another way to cover inflation costs for them.

    Guess the best way to deal with it is not to put all your aggs in one basket- join more them one survey site and lighspeeds slow down for example, really has very little impact:rotfl:

    Its Your View seems to be better than I give them credit for IMHO. The reason I don't sing their praises much is because they seem to hate firefox as a browser and it is such a mission sometimes having to go through IE just to access a survey that I ignore most of them BUT when I do bother, the reward is decent and the surveys short and not that tedious. They are most definitely my pick of the month.


    i use its my view
    have had £50 twice now...
    always use firefox tho...
    THANK MEEE:j

    Some are good and some are bad

    I redeem a £10 Sainsbury voucher from Tuluna which helps with my food. I have managed to build up £80 of Amazon vouchers from Consumerpulse, Ipoints, and GFK.

    I have redeemed £40 of Paypal points from Ipos and have a few more pounds accruing.
