My favorite survey company is Lightspeed.

Let me tell you why. I signed up with them and the first survey I received was
about what I drink. Pop, juices, bottled water, beer...that sort of thing. It
took me around 30 minutes to complete and I was given $10.00. I
actually received the check in less than a week! Then I was informed
that I could do a longer survey that paid $85.00. They Fed Exed a
Palm Pilot to me. All I had to do was to enter whatever I drank for a 2 week
period into the pilot. Only a few minutes here and there.

What really surprised me was they sent $20.00 of the $85.00 with the pilot! So
at that time I had already received $30.00. Today I sent the pilot back to them
(with their prepaid return label) and soon I will be receiving the balance of
$65.00.

In the meantime I have done $3.75 worth more surveys for them by
email.

This one is listed on /files/surveydirectory.html

I am new to Lightspeed and just reached 1000 points. Went to the rewards page to request a check for $10. Instead I need 1150 points for a paypal reward of $10. I am disheartened. Each point is now worth less than 1 cent. I will wait until I accumulate 1150 points and I may discontinue. This is a survey taker be damned by Lightspeed.
And to add insult to injury their point system is abominable. If I had been able to see the rewards offered before I joined I never would have joined. Lightspeed was clever to not show their prizes beforehand. I was not able to access the list until I had acquired some points. Their points are overpriced. I saw one Nordic microwave item for 2600 points that sells on Amazon for $12. What a ripoff. I cannot accept the fact that there is a penalty for acquired points (for paypal $10.00 need 1150 points. Sad indeed. A disgrace.

Yes, they have gotten to be a pretty big pain and I don't bother with them much anymore.

Have not taken a survey from them in a while..
as a matter of fact, I pretty much have boycotted all survey sites that utilize a points system. I feel if they can not be upfront and just tell us how much we get for a survey in $ terms....then the heck with them.
My inbox stays way to full of survey offers from companies that do PAY $..
