Lightspeed

I've just finished my first survey this year and tried to order a £1 paypal as I always do. Only to find that they don't do £1 or £2 Paypal any more!:mad: I need to wait til I get another 4 or 5 surveys @ 50 points a pop, to get £3 paypal. It was bad enough when the points per survey went down from 110 to 80, now it's only 50 points and we have to wait longer to get the cash out!!
Are Lightspeed going the same way as Toluna??

It's only a game

  • I'm now of the opinion that Lightspeed are rubbish. The last few surveys I've done for them, I've got about 10 minutes into the survey and it says "the maximum number of survey responses has now been reached. Thanks for your time, have a free entry into the draw". This has happened too often to be a coincidence, so I reckon they're gathering some info and then stopping "early" so they don't have to pay you the points.

    Total and utter waste of time.

    There's a few companies that I'm doing enough to get a payout and then stopping. Lightspeed is one of them. Done quite well from them over the last couple of years but too much time for too little money now. Dont even start that many of them. 50 points for 20 mins? No thanks. I might just have enough points for £3. If so, then it's bye bye Lightspeed.

    I've had no problems with Lightspeed. Trying to build up my points to the £10 mark. Qualify for loads and I seem to get 80 points a lot.

    I have had a couple of payouts from Lightspeed and now the surveys seem to have dried up! Haven't done one for ages now.
