Just wanted to give anyone else who is "unemployed" or a SAHM/SAHD like myself a "heads up"..so you won't be disappointed like I was! :0 Just FYI everyone..I tried to sign up for EliteOpinion surveys..However, after I answered the registration question that asked me if I was employed or not, I answered “umemployed”..as I am a stay-at-home mother of two (which is work to me, but who am I to talk right?? lol) The registration immediately stopped at that point and told me that they were sorry but I was not qualified to join their survey program at that time..Well damn!

Considering that this topic just came up today and that Jeff and I have had similar experiences along with favoring Carol Adams Mysurvey I found it quite timely that I received an email from MySurvey several minutes ago. Much to my surprise I was thanked for my participation and awarded a $25.00 gift card without cashing in any points. Simply a thank you gift card which I just promptly requested for Target's pharmacy. Now that is appreciation and speaks to the quality and professionalism that both Jeff and I have experienced. Jeff, I appreciate the other links, the only one I was not on was Valued Opinions and I signed up for that earlier. Thanks! An update on MySurvey.com.

Below are the survey sites that I am a member of and recommended in the first thread that I posted on your sight. All are FREE to join. They all have different points/reward systems. I have NEVER experienced any problems with these survey sites. And, unlike the LightSpeed panel site, contacting support staff will yield a response back to you, and in a timely fashion. As a quick example. Carol Adams, (mysurvey) began sending me survey invitations to my aged mother who I live with. (In one of their survey invitations, I indicated that there was an elderly adult living with me). Well, my mother is definitely against giving personal info. about herself on the Internet. Carol Adams, on occasion, also mails you survey invitations, (postage return paid for) for you go complete, and she sent one for my Mom to complete. It was not going to happen. I contacted the support staff for Carol Adams requesting that they not send targeted invitations for my Mother. They not only complied by my request, but they apologized profusely in their response. This site is nothing but first-class all the way! So, here are the 5 sites, (URL's) for the sites that I originally recommended. All of these sights have very professional, well-written, and well- articulated questions in their surveys. NPDOR: http://www.npdor.com IPSOS I-SAY: http://www.i-say.com E-POLL: http://www.epoll.com Carol Adams, (My survey) http://www.mysurvey.com (make sure that one does NOT add the letter "s" at the end of the word "survey". If you mistakenly do, you'll be sent instead to something entirely different). VALUED OPINIONS: http://www.valuedopinions.com I hope that this helps people interested in doing quality, legitimate surveys from real survey sites. Steve,

Sorry to hear about that though. Do you have URLs to the survey sites you recommend instead? I'd like to feature them here. Jeff-

The answer is "no". I have lost ALL of those points. I can no longer log-into my acct. For some inexplicable reason, my acct. info. (email id address and password) was "lost" in their database. As I mentioned in my first response, what I find so utterly maddening is that the tech. support staff who represent this site have never even bothered to respond back to any of the 5-6 e-mails that I sent them the past several months. And, it is not a complicated process in sending emails to the support staff. The info. is provided right on the top portion of the company's home page. As regards to another person's comments, Deborah. It's 100% true what she stated about being disqualified for surveys at this site. That happened to me several times in the situation that Deborah mentioned. You spend 10-15 minutes of your time going through LightSpeed's surveys. Then suddenly on question #24, you find out that you have been disqualified from, (and getting rewarded) in completing the entire survey. Instead, despite the time that you invested into this venture, you get NOTHING!! I find that situation to be borderline reprehensible that, obviously, this is part of LightSpeed panel's policy. When a person puts in THEIR OWN TIME in answering a survey; and even if they answer 4-5 questions before they find out that they do not fit the profile, the site should be respectful towards their panel members. The survey company should have some type of compensatory reward as a way of thanking the person for the use of his/her time. It's why I find LightSpeed panel surveys to be completely fraudulent. Deborah is correct when she compares LightSpeed to other panel sites. Carol Adams My Surveys always rewards partial compensation if the panel member does not fit the profile, preventing him/her the opportunity to complete a full survey. This survey site treats people with dignity and respect. I most emphatically cannot say the same for LightSpeed panel. I just hope that my comments prevents other people from experiencing the same headaches that I have gone through with LightSpeed. I wouldn't recommend that site to my worst enemy!! Steve,

I have not had a log in problem but definitely have experienced the time out issue. On top of that I have found that as I am a single person household, and in the 50-60 age group I generally get disqualified immediately. The last Lightspeed survey I took had me going through the qualifying and then started with survey questions. I continued and then when I thought it was almost complete, to my surprise I was told I didn't qualify after spending 15 minutes and basically giving them honest answers about the product. So basically they received the answers to their questions but disqualified me before having to credit my account. I am glad Jeff mentioned Carol's My Survey. What I love about her site is that you are never told you are disqualified but simply told that "those are all the questions she has for today". You receive at least 10 points just for answering a few questions. Will check out e-polls as that is one I do not know about. I am glad you have had a positive experience but I somehow don't think I fit their profile. But again another good article on surveys and a chance to share experiences!
