This post is my LifePoints review – I have been taking LifePoints surveys and earned money – been paid!
LifePoints is an online survey panel created by Lightspeed Research. It’s a community of over 5,000,000 members from all over the world. Members earn cash and gift cards by sharing their views and opinions, and their participation in research influence future brand products and services.

Is LifePoints Free & Legit or Scam?
LifePoints membership is 100% free. It is always free to join, earn points and get paid! There is no fees or of costs of any kinds.
LifePoints definitely is a legitimate survey panel. It is operated by Lightspeed Research who is the leading global market research company. Personally I have been paid (payment proof will be shown in the later section of this review.)
If you were a member of MySurvey and/or GlobalTestMarket, you account (s) and points should have been merged and transferred into your new LifePoints account.
How Does LifePoints Work?
LifePoints is a global online community that members are rewarded by sharing their thoughts and views on new products and services. It works as follow easy steps:
- Join LifePoints and become a member of the community.
- Contribute by answering online surveys. In return you earn points (LifePoints) for each surveys you completed.
- Collect LifePoints and turn into various cash, gift cards and other rewards.

LifePoints – Survey Rewards & Payments
Members earn points (LifePoints) by completing online surveys, participating mini polls, product testings, focus group studies, and possible other community activities in the future.
Members can redeem LifePoints (LP) for various great rewards from the reward catalog, such as cash and gift cards (amazon & other popular store and online gift cards) in the amounts of $5, $10, $20, $25, $50 etc.
- Cash via Paypal – Minimum Points Required: 600 points= $5,
- eGift Cards (Amazon & Others) – Minimum Points Required: 550 points = $5 Amazon GC
- Gift Cards – $10 TGI Fridays Gift Cards (1150LP), $25 Macys/Bath&BodyWorks (2850LP), $50 Macys/Kohls (5600 LP)
- Charities – minimum cash out: 165 LifePoints for $1.5 donation to UNICEF
Basically the minimum cash out is only $1.5 (165 Lifepoints) if you choose to donate your points to charity, otherwise, once you have collected 550 LifePoints, you can turn your points into $5 amazon gift cards – that is what I did as soon as I was able to cash out.
Note: if you want to redeem $5 cash via Paypal, you must have 600 LP.
LifePoints Review
LifePoints Surveys – Frequency, Topic, Points etc.
LifePoints really has tons of surveys. I average receive 3-4 survey invite emails daily, but if you log into your account, there are far more surveys on your account dashboard! For each survey, it shows the survey number, lifepoints and time needed to complete.
Generally you can earn 50 – 100 lifepoints for a 5-20 minutes survey. Honestly I think the reward points isn’t that generous, it’s just okay. That’s why I usually take 15 minutes or less surveys since I feel that 100 points for 20 minutes doesn’t worth my time. On the other hand, they do give you 2 lifepoints for each survey you attempt but disqualify, you can earn up to 10 lifepoints this way daily. You get lifepoints credited to your account immediately after complete a survey.
LifePoints surveys cover wide aspects of people’s daily life. I have found that many of their surveys are enjoyable, and easy to do. They have lots of surveys for kids and teenagers too – I have received those survey invites. They also have “journal surveys” – those are the similar ones I had done for MySurvey, such as recording your kid’s daily drinking activities for a week. Another example recording your business expenses. I am pretty sure LifePoints has online focus groups and product testing surveys since I had done many of those for GlobalTestMarket.
LifePoints surveys are mobile friendly – you can log into your account and take surveys using a mobile device – I sometimes use my Samsung tablet to take surveys. They also have mobile survey app you can download if you prefer that way to take surveys.
UPDATE May 31 2020: Today I took sometime taking surveys at LifePoint and earned 105 points, one points for a quick poll, 100 points for completing a surveys (about 15 minutes), and 4 points for attempting two surveys but disqualified. Now I am 103 points away to redeem a $5 amazon gift card.
LifePoints – Survey Rewards & Payments
I had been a member of MySurvey and GlobalTestMarket for years. When the two panels merged into LifePoints, they transferred my GlobalTestMarket points (I had no points in MySurvey) into LifePoints without any problems!
So I immediately had enough points to cash out at LifePoints once my account was established. I redeemed 550 points for $5 amazon gift cards and received the amazon gift card in 4 days! Their order confirmation emails did says “E-certificates will be sent to the email address that you specified in your order within 5 – 10 business days.”
So the payment process was very smooth and big improvement in my opinion, since the cash out threshold lowered to only $5 compare to GTM’s $50 before. Next time I will redeem my lifePoints for cash through Paypal and update this review.
LifePoints – Member Support
I think LifePoints’s member support is pretty good! I have contacted their support using their “chat” option. It’s very convenient. They emailed me the chat scripts and I can simply respond to the emails to continue the conversation.
I have heard some people are having login problems. I remember I had this problem at MySurvey and GlobalTestMarket which happened to many other members as well. Not sure what was going on, but I think it might had some thing to do with their system upgrades/updates, because the problems was eventually resolved.

Today (8/3/2020) I checked my LifePoints account – currently I have 663 points. Since last time I redeemed amazon gift card, this time I cashed out $5 via Paypal, which equals 600 LifePoints. (Note: for $5 amazon gift card, you only need 550 LifePoints).
When redeem for Paypal, I had to “create”/enter my shipping address and phone number. I received an “order” confirmation email which says “Funds will be deposited into your PayPal account within 5 – 10 business days”. I received the Paypal payment on 8/12/2020. Following is the payment proof (screenshot) of my LifePoints cash payment via Paypal.

I like your website
Thanks for the kind comment! 🙂
I subscribed at Lifepoints and could do some surveys the first day. After that, i’m constantly blocked from logging in, without any further explanation. Asked three times what went wrong, got the message they were working on it and still can’t log in yet.
Hi, I know GlobalTestMarket (former lifepoints) used to have members complain about login issues, I would suggest give it a little time. Then contact them again if the problems still exists. Hope it helps and good luck!
I’ve used LifePoints but didn’t like the website at all. I had trouble making money on there and was repeatedly disqualified from surveys. I switched to Prizerebel and made double what I did on LifePoints. Try it good luck!

Hi Toby, thanks for sharing your experience with LifePoints and PrizeRebel. I am a member of PrizeRebel but haven’t been taking surveys there for a while. I recall It’s kind of hard to qualify for surveys. I will give them a try again! As for LifePoints, I like them since I receive points even I get screened out.
I try this app
Hi – I don’t think LifePoints has an app, but their website is mobile friendly. So yes you can use your smart phone or other mobile device to take their surveys! Good luck!
Thanks for the comment Janie! Glad you find the information helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Hi Gen, congrats on the rewards! 🙂 Regarding your question about charity donation, sorry I don’t know the answer. I have never redeemed my lifepoints for charity donations, not sure how that works. Maybe you can contact their support (you can email them or do live chat!) ? Let me how it goes! cheers.
Thank you. I signed up for several surveys and you should be getting your credit for the linking. Good work. You have an informative site. Trustworthy it appears.
