    Personally I found Lightspeed to be repetitive and monotonous as others have said- It took me 14 months to get a full £10 out of them :eek:

    I thought they were meant to be one of the better survey sites in terms of rewards etc?

    I joined exactly a year ago. Since then I have had £30 in amazon vouchers and £25 paypal from them. I find them excellent actually.
    And I don't spend that much time doing them.
  • Hi there,

    I've just tried to withdraw money from lightspeed into my paypal account. That was last friday, I never received any email from paypal and thought i'd leave it until the next day, still no email nor any emails from lightspeed in response to the few i've sent them.

    Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice??

    Cheers.

    I transferred £15 last week and it arrived in about 5 - 6 days. I got an e-mail from PayPal and it was in my account.

    I think it just takes time.
  • Reading this I felt like I had to agree that lightspeed was not worth the time and money, but I have since looked at my account and I see that lightspeed have actually been my best paying survey site!! Made about £50 (maybe £51 as I have payments pending) since I joined 13 months ago. I think it is because I claim paypal money as soon as I have the points (too afraid they'll up the points cost again like pigsback) and it just goes in in dribs and drabs so I don't notice it.
    I have had a good few technical problems recently though, with me completing surveys and then being redirected to an error page so no money. Emailing Lauren is useless though. Only ever had 1 reply saying that they would note the problems, but no sign of money. I sent another email tonight, accompanied by screenshots so I hope I get results this time.

    i thought they take a cut of any money paid in - they do for ebay sales anyway!

    Are you sure that's not eBay taking off the 'final value fee'?
