Advantages: Money making, easy to use, good customer service Disadvantages: Some surveys can be lengthy and repeatitive
...Lightspeed Panel is an online market research company that when you have registered with them, invite you to participate in surveys for which you earn 'Lightspeed Points'. These points can then be converted into vouchers or money.
The website address to find out more about Lightspeed is WWW.LIGHTSPEEDPANEL.COM which gives you all the info you will require about the site and their objectives. The only problem I found with the site is that there is no direct link to actually join Lightspeed through their website.
For those interested in joining the way I did it was to send them an email. On their website it gives the email address for their customer service lady Lauren. I sent her an email asking how to register and she then emailed me back with the link. I believe the link can also be found through other websites like Money Saving...
Advantages: get fair reward points immediately Disadvantages: none
...Lightspeed panel has become my favourite research site. I joined them about four month ago.
I receive invitations for the surveys once or twice a week, but I discovered that it is worth signing in occasionally because there are available surveys you don't get invitation for. I don't know what happens to these surveys, because I always fill them if I discover.
They can choose better their focus groups than other survey panels, so I don't get screened out so often. I would say I match 8 out of 10 occasions. They reward quite fairly my effort of taking their surveys. I get 50, 80 or 110 points for the surveys depending on their length. 115 points worth 1 pound via PayPal, but 550 points can be redeemed to a 5 pound Amazon voucher. There are a lot of possibilities to redeem your points. I used Paypal, thy paid in 10 days for the first...
Advantages: fun surveys, good list of rewards, frequent survey invites Disadvantages: none
...Lightspeed panel is a market research panel that rewards you for taking part in online research. With this site you take part in online surveys and get rewarded for your efforts.
Most people on the internet no that there are ways to earn from it whether it be from vouchers to a high street shop or by money. These days there seems to be a new website popping up everyday saying ways to earn but by completing online surveys it has to be the easiest way to earn on the internet. The idea of online surveys is an old one and a really good one. The lightspeed panel has to be at the moment one of the best survey sites and one of the best sites to earn on the internet.
To help businesses and services the lightspeed panelcollects information by giving out surveys to its members and then once completed the answers that are given are analysed...
Advantages: They pay out as soon as you get 115 points Disadvantages: None as yet!
...Lightspeed Panal
Well, I was surprised when I read a review on the Lightspeed Panal to discover that I had already made 1140 points since joining and that I could trade these in for nearly £10. Paypal.
I had had a little trouble with accessing my Lightspeed surveys and when my computer crashed and I got everything organised again I got in touch with them about it. They had taken me off of their register but agfter my email they immediately put me back on and reinstated my points.
I have been with them since late March of this year, so I think it is quite good that I have this many points and can already redeem them for cash. In comparison to say, Home of Research which I have to collect 2000 points before I can receive £20.
Lightspeed send you surveys as and when they come up usually between 1 and 2 per week, although...

Earning points
You can earn points by completing surveys sent to you via your email address. Each survey you are invited to complete will tell you the number of points you will earn (normally anything between 50 - 100) On completing the survey you will also earn entries into the Lightspeed monthly draw to win 2,000 pounds. (plus runner up prizes) You can check to see a list of winners by clicking through to the winners page via the homepage.
You can also earn entries into the draw by completing Quick Matches - short questionnaires to help the panel to identify relevant surveys for you, or by completing Mini-polls - one question polls just for fun.
Surveys can be on just about anything but I have found that the majority I get are on food and drink related products.

Advantages: Regular surveys, Good incentive, pay in time Disadvantages: Points and Voucher system; not cash payment
...Joined 'Ipsos Interactive Panel' a few months ago and it is one of my top survey sites to date as I have had more success with it compared to a few other sites I joined..
I do not recall where I found the link but I doubt it was directlly through the site..must have got an email from a survey directory.
It is easy to sign up and it's free to join. It is open to residents in a number of companies, I think mainly in Europe going by the selection of countries listed on their home page languages to select..
Ipsos send surveys very regularly; I am averaging two/three surveys a week. The survey lengths vary; some surveys are short and straight forward but you also get the more indepth long surveys. They have a points system and you earn 150-200 points for shorter surveys and 500-700 points for much longer surveys (completed the recent...

Review of Ipsos Access Panel
Advantages: Frequent & Interesting Surveys, Reward Variety, Instant Redemption Disadvantages: Sometime disconnected during the survey and you can't attempt it second time
...Online surveys are valuable money making program. I really prefer them over any other program as they generally pay more than any other sites for a much less effort. This is good but finding the right and genuine survey panel is the hard part. If you get the right one, you can easily make a few extra cash each month in a decent way. There are several authentic survey sites on the net and Light Speed Consumer Panel is one of them. I am with them for almost a year now and feel lucky that I have found them. Light speed Consumer Panel, which is to me, in all respect, a perfect online money making opportunity is maintained by Lightspeed Research Ltd. (Lightspeed) Online Research Inc and hosted in the USA so all data and information related to the site is stored there.

Advantages: frequent survey work, wide range of rewards Disadvantages: NA
...Lightspeed Consumer Panel is a website which rewards users for offering their opinions on a wide range of topics, through survey work.
Signing up
Signing up is the trickiest part in the whole process, as there is not a direct link .You can sign up with the Lightspeed Consumer Panel providing you are a UK resident aged 16 or over, which is normal for these genre of websites.
If you really do want to become a member of this website, i'd suggest having a look on sites such as pigsback.com, as that is where I found the link to join up.
On finding the joining up link, you complete a short form, where you give your details, such as name, date of birth, and address, in the case of any rewards you choose, which I will detail later on in the review.
The registration process, is quick, and very easy

...*** Updated, February 2009 ***
I have now withdrawn as much of my remaining balance as possible and resigned from Lightspeed Panel UK. As my review indicates, I was pretty happy with them at first, but after receiving 0 survey invitations for at least a year, having my account suspended twice for no reason, and getting little or no response from support, I've decided it's not worth the effort anymore.
=
Lightsp eed was one of the first survey sites I signed up with.
At first it was quite good, I earned £15 quite quickly. I started to build up a bit of cash again, and then inexplicably my account was suspended (with another £20 owed), without any warning or notification. When I contacted them, they eventually replied telling me that they would look into the problem and I...
Advantages: gentle, relaxing, cheap, some amazing songs Disadvantages: It's jammed in my laptop just now :(
...I started to watch ITV lunch time show Loose Women just over a year ago. At the time, I was unaware of who any of the panellists were. Though now I know quite a bit about these fantastic women, one of which is the lovely Jane McDonald. Jane is a singer, and has had various albums released. The one I own is called 'The Collection'.
The CD cover itself has a picture of Jane her self, dressed in a trendy denim jacket, her smile stretched broadly across her face. The colours behind her are beautiful; a shining shade of deep purple with a hint from silver stars. It's very attractive, definitely one to draw the attention in.
The Collection has nineteen tracks on it, each listed on the back of the CD case. I scanned over them briefly before listening, finding that I had heard of some of the tracks before. Though I was curious to discover...
