Advantages: Enjoyable surveys, loads of surveys

Disadvantages: If you leave survey before it's ended then you can't access it again

I signed up for this site a couple of moths ago after it being recommended by my sister. It is my favourite survey site and here's why;

What is it?

Lightspeed Panel is a company that ask you to carry out specific surveys for points. They send you a lot of surveys and you can also complete their mini polls and quick match surveys.

The surveys do vary quite a lot, on day you could be asked questions about cleaning products and the next it could be about bank accounts.

How to sign up?

http://uk.lightspeedpanel.com/ and fill in the short form for the site. Simple!

The Surveys

Quick Match Surveys - The survey is just a couple of questions about a certain subject to see if you would be right for an upcoming survey. You get entries to a prize draw which as yet I've never won but we live in hope.

Mini Polls - These are one question to see how you compare to others. They are also very varied and for each one you complete you get 5 entries to the prize draw.

Surveys - These are the most important in my opinion. They are surveys which tend to last about 20-30 minutes. There are different points for each survey and from the ones I've completed the points range from 50 - 2500 points.

At the end of each survey you are asked how enjoyable you thought it was. How you found the survey e.g. shorter than expected, too repetitive. And also how you feel about doing future surveys.

What are the points for?

The points go into your points account where they are stored until you redeem them. You can go here as much as you want to check your balance and also redeem them for vouchers or for moneys to be put into your PayPal account.

I will warn you that you do need more points for money to be put into PayPal than you need for Amazon vouchers. There is a huge list of places which you can choose to get vouchers for. I have only ever redeemed money for PayPal or Amazon vouchers.

How many points for money;

For Amazon points you will need 550 points for £5 voucher
For PayPal you will need 575 points for £5

How long does it take to redeem?

Once you have requested the vouchers it is sent to your email account pretty much straight away. You get an electronic voucher that you input into your Amazon account. Very simple.

It's a bit longer for money to go into PayPal though. It took me over a week to get the money into my account which isn't too long but if you're expecting it straight away like I first did then you'll be disappointed.

How do you know when you have a survey to complete?

Luckily Lightspeed send you an email to let you know when there's a survey available.

My Opinion

I love this site. I get surveys quite often. Recently they have quietened down quite a bit with surveys and I have 1045 points so just off getting a £10 Amazon voucher.

The surveys are mostly enjoyable but some can be slightly repetitive and a bit too long but I just give my feedback at the end of the survey.

I've have only been with the sight a couple of months and I've made about £30 so far which I'm delighted about but it's not a site that you can make money quickly.

I did one survey that took me 10 minutes and I received 2300 points. I was absolutely delighted about this. And it was a really enjoyable survey which really helped.

The Down Sides

There are a couple of little things that stop this site from being perfect.

1. Some of the surveys you take part in are not for you. You answer a few questions and then all of a sudden you get a message coming up to say quotas are now full for this survey.

2. The other problem I found was sometimes you can't access the survey and it comes up with a screen with an error in several different languages. There is an email address to contact if you have any problems but instead of fixing the problem they just email back and say there's nothing they can do and you won't be able to take part this time.

3. My last issue is the fact that you can't access a survey if you have previously started it and not completed it. So you start a survey and your wireless disconnects bringing you up with a page cannot be displayed screen. Well unfortunately that means you can't finish it and you won't get your points.

Overall

I am very impressed by this site and it's the most enjoyable surveys I've ever done. I would highly recommend this site to anyone that would like to earn a bit of extra cash.

Summary: Love this survey site
