Is LifePoints legit? A straight answer

What LifePoints is

LifePoints is an online research community where members take surveys and other research activities in exchange for points called LifePoints (LPs).

It is owned and operated by Lightspeed LLC, a Kantar Group company. The Google Play listing shows the developer name Kantar Profiles.

Besides surveys, LifePoints also mentions product tests, polls and diaries as research activities, plus games, competitions and free giveaways for community members.

How members earn on LifePoints

The main way to earn is by completing online surveys. The number of LPs a survey is worth is shown before it starts, and LifePoints says surveys take about 10 to 20 minutes on average.

The site also lists other research activities such as product tests, polls and diaries. New members get a sign-up bonus of 10 LifePoints.

The value of one LifePoint varies depending on the reward chosen, and Lightspeed can change that value. Points are posted to the account no later than 30 days after a survey is completed.

How LifePoints pays and who can join

LifePoints lets members exchange points for e-gift cards, PayPal credit, Venmo credit or charity donations, though which rewards are available depends on the country and is shown inside the member account. The India site names Amazon, Flipkart and Jio among its gift cards.

Points can be redeemed once a member has enough for the lowest-priced reward shown on the site, but LifePoints does not publish that points figure or the points-to-currency rate anywhere on its public pages. Reward delivery time and the full reward list for each country are also not published.

Joining is free. Members must be at least 14 years old, though the terms say some countries may require members to be older. An email address needs to be verified, and members can only register for the panel of the country they actually live in.

An account stays active if the member takes part in a survey or other activity within 30 days of registering and within any 90-day period after that. Points are forfeited if an account is suspended, cancelled or closed.

LifePoints compared with PocketsFull

Here is how the two sites line up on a few basic points.

How PocketsFull is different

PocketsFull is also a rewards site: members complete paid surveys and offers, including many game and app offers, and redeem what they collect for gift cards.

Some PocketsFull offers list a confirmation time of 7 to 30 days, and rewards can take time to appear while surveys and offers are checked by the partner. PocketsFull also has an Android app and works in a phone browser, plus a separate free-games section for fun with no rewards attached.

Like LifePoints, PocketsFull is free to join and never asks for a deposit or payment. Joining either site does not amount to a job: what gets earned depends on the surveys and offers available and the time put in.

How PocketsFull pays

The redeem screen on PocketsFull shows gift cards for the member's own country first, such as Amazon, Flipkart and PLAYSTATION in India.

In India, UPI is also on the redeem screen, paid to a UPI ID from an app such as Paytm, PhonePe or Google Pay, with no wallet-balance top-up option. PayPal and Litecoin are listed as well.

PocketsFull does not offer Venmo or charity donations as payout options, unlike what LifePoints lists for its US members.
