Advantages The site pays well for each survey that you complete.
Disadvantages You don't get accepted for every survey.
Lightspeed is a market research site that sends out surveys. To register to the site you just need to fill in your details. Then wait for a survey to be sent to your email address.
I have been a member for a couple months now. I normally get a few surveys a week. So far this week I have been sent two surveys the first one I got 110 points for the other one after completing a few questions it said I wasn't suitable. The survey lengths vary some take 10 minutes others take 25 minutes. I can't say what the surveys are about as we are not meant to be say, all I can say is that our answers help companies with market research for that product.The points you get for surveys also varies, I find for most of the ones I complete I get 110 points which is good. As that works out at nearly a pound per survey which I think is reasonable. You will only receive your points if you complete the survey. Sometimes you think that you have been accepted for a survey then after a few questions you find out you're not suitable which can be annoying. But sometimes for doing this you will get 15 free entries into the free prize draw for £2000.
The rewards on this site are really good. You can use your points for various things. When you get 115 points you can transfer that for a pound to your paypal account. Then for every other 115 points it's another pound. 1100 points will get you 10 pound of Amazon vouchers, and there are other various electronic vouchers you can for exchange points for example HMV. If you would prefer your points to go to charity when you get to 600 points you can donate them to a charity there are a few different charities to choose from. Or lastly if you have quite a few points that you want to use up then you can visit the shop which has lots of different things you can buy. Just pick the category you want to look at i.e. magazines (subscription), toys or jewellery and there's lots more you can choose from. Being honest I haven't been on any other survey site with so many different rewards to choose from.If by accident you delete a message that has been sent about a survey that needs completing, when you login on the site it will tell you of any surveys that are waiting to be completed.. You can also answer some of the questions on the mini poll which asks you one or two questions you just need to answer using the multiple choices, and then when you have it will say what percent of the people answered the same as you etc. For taking part in this you will get 5 free entries into the lightspeed free prize draw for £2000. You can also answer the quick match questions the answers you give will help them decide which surveys to send you in the future. You will get 10 entries into the draw for answering.
I have received one payment so far and that was when I had a 115 points. I cashed in using the Paypal option as I wanted to check the site wasn't a scam. I received the payment about 4 days after putting in for it so it was quite quick. Now I am saving my points up. To be honest it will take a while to get a lot of points but I just try complete every survey I get sent, hoping I will get points at the end. So Overall a great site with good rewards if you get accepted on the surveyYou will also find this review on dooyoo under the same name gsparkle. Thank you for reading.

I use this site and have been paid a few times, but I have to add that their customer service 'Lauren' is terrible!
