LightSpeed never had the best of reputations in the first place. I hoped that the merger would be a situation where MySurvey would have rubbed off on LightSpeed. But it's been the other way around. I'm really hoping it gets better. But I don't know. Thanks for sharing your experience and insightful comment. Agreed I think this merger with LightSpeed has really changed things for the worst.

True enough the points do add up that quickly but never has had a problem with redeeming points to money into my PayPal account. Over the past few weeks though I have got to say that I'm not really happy with this site anymore...guess Lightspeed has really downgraded not only customer service but the site itself. I'm getting tired of "the survey was paused" when I didn't access the survey. Also hey used to award 5 points even if you didn't qualify for a survey, now you're lucky is you get a sweepstakes entry which I could care less about. But the most bothersome thing, and people need to be aware of now is how many personal questions they ask before deciding if you qualify for a survey. One thing to ask age, sex and where you live...another to ask about income and other things. Tonight I took a survey about business which wanted to know what accounts and where my business accounts were and how much I make in my business. Another I took tonight I spent 10 minutes answering questions about cell phones, cell phones attributes, etc and guess what...didn't qualify for any points. In my opinion this site is getting to be a waste of time that is taking advantage of members and not sure I will continue.

At the end of the day surveys aren't a consistent way to make money. So it's not like you could depend on Mysurvey for consistent income. It's just a one off way to make money. Right now my favorites are ICS and PaidViewPoint.com: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2010/07/19/is-instantcashsweepstakes-com-a-scam/ http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2011/12/05/is-paidviewpoint-com-a-scam/ I'm still a little iffy about mysurvey after their merger.

But I was hoping the recent partnership with MySurvey would have a positive effect on that company. But it appears that it maybe pulling down a company that has always been very legitimate and timely. Now I'm noticing a lot more broken surveys, longer times to get paid, etc. So I don't really know what to think at this point. I've never had any identity theft problems with My Survey or spam. So that's not really a concern for me. At the end of the day you have to go with your gut. MySurvey isn't the only survey company in town there are plenty more that can explore. Many of which we've listed on my recommendations page: www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations I always tell people if you read something that doesn't make you feel comfortable then go with your gut.

They are very slow when it comes to payment. But as long as your order is in the que and they are aware of it, you will get your money. I have just found that in the last couple of months their customer service has gone downhill and so has the speed of their prize delivery. I think their recent merger has been a bad thing for us. I'm hoping it gets better. Just keep on top of them. The same thing happened to me and eventually I got my payment. They just seem to drag their feet now for whatever reason. I hear you.

I'm also an affiliate of this company and many of the other ones listed on this site which isn't made a secret. Everyone that reads my body of work knows I'm a proud affiliate that makes money recommending legitimate companies to them. Hope that's clear now.

It can be a simple matter of your computer, out date browser or wrong browser. So that's not necessarily the company's fault. That being said I have had technical issues with them over the last couple of months as well and it seems to coincide when they were taken over by another survey company. So I can't totally discount what you're saying. Fortunately there are other great survey companies out there like ICS and PaidViewPoint: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2010/07/19/is-instantcashsweepstakes-com-a-scam/ http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2011/09/26/paidviewpoint-com-first-look/ So when one option rubs you the wrong way, move on to the next ones. Thank goodness there are other options! Thanks for chiming in. Technical issues are a crap shoot. It can be a simple matter of your computer, out date browser or wrong browser.

The main problem is the constant technical errors claiming that you can not complete the survey because you paused. First off, how can you pause if the survey never starts? Second, who really cares? This is a survey, not national security! Of the 17 surveys I attempted in the past 2 days, 16 have given the same error. The 17 was a ten minute survey on toilet paper that at the end said they had enough similar results and I did not get a dime for my time! They are a total fraud!

But no there isn't an app. You just need to visit the site from your computer and take the surveys there. Think of this way, you put a little effort and you're getting paid for something you never got paid for in the past. It's worth the little effort it takes. Not sure how it would make it easier.
