About the site:
Lightspeed Consumer Panel is a market research company that gives us, the consumers, the chance to make products and services better through the use of surveys. Founded in 2000, Lightspeed is committed to shaping the future of market research. They have a firm belief that we are the driving force behind their business. In addition to the U.S., they also have panels across Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Personal Experience:
This is one of the best survey sites I have ever been a part of. The site has short "Quick Match" surveys that last about 5 minutes. The Quick Match surveys help Lightspeed send you surveys that are better suited to the products and services that you use in your daily life. The site sends out plenty of surveys and there is never a cost associated with them. I've also never had any trouble getting my completed surveys to go through. What's even better, is the longest I've had to wait from the time I redeemed my points, until the time I received my reward has been 20 minutes! Surveys have point values (at least from what I've seen) anywhere from 50 to 500 points and can last from 5 to 30+ minutes. A $5 Amazon.com gift card is only 550 points, which means you could do two 300 point, 30 minute surveys and have enough for your first gift card in only 1 hour.
Pros:
- Plenty of survey opportunities for you to earn points.
- Easy to get a lot of points in a short amount of time.
- Receive rewards in a very, very short amount of time.
- Very well designed program.
Cons:
- Not very clear on if they are accepting new members or not

My final verdict:
This is a great survey site to be on. The surveys are numerous, the points are plentiful and the rewards are very easy to earn. Even if you only do a few surveys a week, you could still have a reward or two in that short amount of time. There is no credit card info required and you never have to pay to become an "upgraded" member to get more surveys. There is also never any hassle when it comes to getting your surveys submitted or approved. They also send your rewards faster than any site I've seen (my max wait time has only been 20 minutes). They still are never very clear if they are accepting new members or not, but it is worth a shot.
