Survey Site Saturday: Lightspeed Consumer Panel

Paid surveys can either be a great way to make a little extra cash or a complete waste of time. On Survey Site Saturdays I help you wade through the pile of paid survey sites to find the places that really do compensate you well for the small amount of time you spend sharing your opinion. Today’s featured paid survey site is Lightspeed Consumer Panel. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m an affiliate for them, so when you sign up under my link, I get rewarded too. I never promote a site that I don’t also use and enjoy!

But back to Lightspeed. I’ve had mostly positive experiences with them. The only negative that I’ve experienced so far was when Lightspeed contracted with a third party and I completed a market research study through that party that left a lot to be desired. That’s a rare occasion though and I did know up front that Lightspeed was connecting me to the other company.

I’ve completed only a small percentage of what’s been offered to me just because I’m really busy lately. I still came out with $20 in PayPal money in 6 weeks. It feels like the points accrue pretty quickly with Lightspeed.

If you are someone who makes purchasing decisions of some sort for your employer (or you’re self-employed), also consider Lightspeed’s Elite Opinion Panel. You’ll get really high payouts because it’s a more difficult area for researchers to find participants.

I hope those helped! We’re really committed to sticking to a budget this year, and because I live in a cruel cruel world without “unlimited cash for Starbucks”, the money you can earn from paid survey and other reward sites lets you have guilt-free treats!
