How do you join this site and is it worth it?

I absolutely love the site and have actually had very few problems. The merge has now meant you earn points for attempting a survey even if you do not qualify - what I love is that you quickly find out you do not qualify unlike Toluna who reel you in for ages until they tell you this.

I have never had a problem with Paypal payments either. If you have a spare 30minutes per day this is a no brainer - just be really careful not to click away from the survey because once you do there is no returning!
I guess the problem is that people only comment when there is an issue - I am very happy with Lightspeed.:T

I like Lightspeed too - I've had lots of smallish payments from them this year. My only problem is that the PayPal requests seem to be taking longer since the merge. I'm waiting for two, the first was requested on 19th November, and in the past they were always in my account in about 4 days.

I like the fact that you get a few points even if you're screened out, and I've had plenty of surveys come through and have been able to complete them successfully.

But please sir, may I have my PayPal money? I've got Christmas shopping to do!

My account is still inactive and not getting any response from customer services either.

My points were not correctly transferred, plus I have completed surveys and then got an error code, not too impressed at the moment. Especially as most surveys only pay pennies for the amount of time spent on them.

I claimed Nectar points back in June through MySurvey and I'm still waiting for them.

Have emailed Emma on a number of occasions and have been given promises that the points will be credited. I gave them an ultimatum back in October, telling them I would be forced to leave the forum if the points weren't credited within two weeks. No response.

I contacted them again yesterday, through the new combined site, informing them I'm taking legal action and will be contacting them when I get legal representation. Any current surveys I receive now are being deleted.

Not impressed.

Yep - agree with comments - obviously flippin Lauren is still there in disguise. More of the you have paused errors - more of the getting a good half way (by their timing) of a survey then told its full, completing a survey boots you out of account, rubbish and they used to be so good. Has anyone sent them the link to this forum? they might find it educational reading!

I too claimed nectar points back in June, I have emailed them about 10 times. i did get the standard reply a view times, now they just ignore me

Never did get credited for the L25985 survey which foolishy I tried twice!! Just in case they had sorted the error in redirecting back to the old site- they hadn't! And no response from Emma which considering that she must have had similar e-mails from other people on that particular survey is rather poor.
But I find having used survey sites for 10 years or more that they all can be good or bad at any time. Some much much worse than others! And Lightspeed/Mysurvey I would rate amongst the better ones. The worse? Toluna naturally!!

This is getting silly now. Still not getting email notifications but had three surveys waiting for me in my account. I got most of the way through each one only to be told they have enough participants now, and to click to continue. I click it and I am logged out again, every single time! I can't stay logged in for more than a couple of minutes. I seem to be getting 5 points for every 'attempted' survey though.

I was ver wary about the merge but I have to tell you they have transferred my points correctly. I requested a £10 amazon voucher as the merge took me over the limit . I got the e mail with the voucher on withing 3 days. I have now requester paypal so I can see if that works.
I get ousted out of most of the surveys and like you get fobbed off with the standard e mail. I have tried querying it again and am waiting for response.
