Great Rewards Options

In order to request a reward, you must have a minimum of 550 LifePoints ($5) in your account. Once you've reached this balance, you can spend your LifePoints on three main reward options: gift cards, PayPal payments and donations. Note that rewards options may vary between countries.

  • e-Gift cards - With just 550 points, you can request a $5 e-gift card from Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy, Google Play, Apple Store, Marks & Spencer, Love2Shop, ebay, to gas stations, and more
  • PayPal payments - With 1200 points in your account, request a $10 PayPal payment.
  • Donations - Donate to a great charity with as little as $1 (110 points). Charities include: Red Cross, Special Olympics, Eco Matcher

All rewards are issued within 10 days of request. If requesting a PayPal payment, be sure your PayPal email address is the same as the e-mail address you used to sign up with Lifepoints.

Points Value: 550 Lifepoints = $5.00. Therefore, 10 points = $0.09

Survey Taking Experience

Take Surveys, Earn Points, Get Rewarded

As a LifePoints member, you can contribute your views and opinions by completing online surveys covering various aspects of your daily life. Other activities such as mini-polls, product testing and other types of data collection are also opportunities to earn LPs (LifePoints) to receive exceptional rewards including money and free gift cards.

Survey invitations are sent out by email and can be taken any time during the survey period. Members don’t need any special skills to complete the activities within LifePoints consumer panel. If you can contribute your thoughts and fill out the online survey, then you’re ready to go!

Survey Lengths

Survey lengths vary, however most surveys will take between 10-15 minutes to complete. Compensation awarded for every survey varies, and depends on its length, as well as the client's urgency for survey takers to complete it. The more urgent the assignment, the more points it will offer.

Receiving More Surveys

To ensure you're being invited to the maximum number of surveys, ensure your personal information on file is up to date. Do this by filling out the profile questions available in your account (which will earn you an extra 10 points!). This will help match you to the best possible surveys and will increase the number of market research studies that are most relevant to you and your lifestyle.

Tip! Be sure to add @LifePointsPanel.com to your list of trusted senders, address book or contact list so that survey invites make it to your inbox.

Earn Points for Disqualifications

If you start a survey but don’t get to finish it, LifePoints will reward you with a small number of points as recognition for your time and effort. Point amounts may be 2 or 3 points at a time and can help you reach a cash out sooner. You may earn up to 10 extra LifePoints a day this way, which means you can redeem your earnings for rewards sooner!

RIP Off

July 1, 2019 by Jim from Canada

This company is terrible. I never had any issues as Global Surveys, but since it became Lifepoints I have had many problems. Numerous error messages after completing a survey. You contact their customer service and they say they need the survey number, date time you took the survey, and subject. Unless you record all this info for each survey prior to starting the survey you are lost because when an error occurs you don't know which survey it was. The worst was I did a toothpaste survey using non sensitivity toothpaste for 2 weeks and the sensitivity toothpaste for two weeks. I completed several surveys during and after. Did not receive the points( was very disappointed to find out the reward was only $10), and customer service knew nothing about the survey. Finally they agreed to audit the issue and I never heard back from them. Don't waste your time with this company.

Beware!

June 27, 2019 by Deana from United States

I joined the Lightspeed panel almost a decade ago. That became MySurvey which recently transferred to Lifepoints.
I have never been able to log in to Lifepoints. Customer service took about 2 months to respond. They answered with a form letter about my account being closed for fraud. When I questioned that, they were vague - stating that they always err on the side of the member and the evidence was overwhelming.
In light of my track record and the fact that I have over $100 worth of rewards waiting to be redeemed, I have asked for my case to be escalated.
I will be going up the chain of command and ultimately the BBB if this is not resolved.

How the mighty has fallen.

June 25, 2019 by Darth from United Kingdom

I've been with Global Test Market/ Lifepoints for over 10 years, but today that has ended. The new website is hideously slow and I fail to qualify for nearly every survey offered now (never used to be that way in the past). I tried to give them time with the new site to iron out the kinks but after several months it's still complete rubbish.

Need easier qualifications for surveys

June 18, 2019 by Lindsay from United States

This site is good at getting you your rewards. But a lot of surveys they make the qualifications for taking the survey too strict.
