What LifePoints is
LifePoints is an online market research community operated by Lightspeed LLC, a Kantar Group company. Members answer surveys and take part in other research activities, and each completed activity adds points called LifePoints (LPs) to the account.

Facts checked on
How members earn on LifePoints
Most points come from online surveys. The number of LifePoints on offer is shown before a survey starts, and LifePoints says surveys take about 10 to 20 minutes on average.
- Online surveys, with the LP reward shown up front.
- Other research activities such as product tests, polls, and diaries.
- A sign-up bonus of 10 LifePoints for new members.
- Games, competitions, and free giveaways mentioned for community members.
Not every survey fits every profile. Being screened out before a survey ends is a normal part of using any survey panel, LifePoints included.
How it pays and who can join
LifePoints lists e-gift cards, PayPal credit, Venmo credit, and charity donations as reward options, though the exact choices shown inside an account depend on the member's country.
In the United States, the brand names examples such as Amazon, Apple, Starbucks, Macy's, Target, TJ Maxx, eBay, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble gift cards, while the India site names Amazon, Flipkart, and Jio.
According to LifePoints' Rewards Program Terms, points can be redeemed once the member has enough for the lowest-priced reward shown on the site and the account is in good standing. No minimum points figure or currency amount is published, and the value of one LifePoint depends on the reward chosen. Points are posted to the account no later than 30 days after a survey is completed.
To join, a member must be at least 14 years old, though the terms note that some countries may require an older minimum age. Joining is free, registration is limited to the panel of the country where the member lives, and a verified email address is needed to activate the account. LifePoints says it is available in 45 countries.

How PocketsFull is different
PocketsFull is also a rewards site, but it combines paid surveys with offers, many of them game and app offers, rather than focusing on survey research alone.
Joining PocketsFull is free and never requires a deposit or payment. Members build a balance by completing surveys and offers, and a complete, accurate profile helps match them with more surveys. Some offers take 7 to 30 days to confirm, since partners check and confirm activity before a reward is credited.
PocketsFull also has a separate free-games section with browser games that need no download or sign-up, though those games are for fun and do not pay rewards. PocketsFull has an Android app on Google Play, and the website also works in a phone browser.
