The last question essentially asks you to consent that you'll be added to their email list, and each task box has a hyperlink to the conditions you're agreeing to.
You'll be asked to check your email after completing those agreements. You should see a second series of questions about your purchases within a specific time range when you authenticate your email and visit the LifePoints website again.
Inquiries may also concern the size of your household, the number of children living there, your race, and your yearly income. After answering these questions, you will have completed your profile and earned 10 points on top of the 10 points you started with.
Once your profile is complete, the dashboard will appear. You can select from the various surveys right here.
The "Community" tab allows you to view polls, giveaways, and promotions that are being held. The "Help Centre" button provides solutions to frequently asked questions. The "Account" tab allows you to modify your personal information or cancel your account. The "Rewards" tab in the upper right corner allows you to browse rewards possibilities.
Ways To Earn
Participating in giveaways and promotions as well as survey completion are ways to earn money using LifePoints.
Third-party websites frequently offer surveys, and they include a range of question structures. Every survey includes a point value and an anticipated time of completion.
You can view a history of your point accumulation by selecting the "Rewards" option. On this rewards list, popups are referred to as "Quick Polls." They occasionally show up when you first log in. Single-question surveys are being asked, however, they don't always appear when you visit the website.
You may be asked to consent to share details about the advertisements you've seen on certain websites. Under the "My Account" button in the upper right corner, you can modify these preferences at any time.
The expected time needed to finish a survey is not taken into account when awarding points. For instance, we discovered two surveys on the website during our review: one lasted twenty minutes and offered 400 points as a reward, while the other took twenty minutes and gave out only 150 points. Nevertheless, it is always true that longer surveys provide higher points.
There may be other ways to gain points through the "Community" option, but the outcomes are also not guaranteed.
This page contains giveaways, polls, and promotions that are essentially simply means for LifePoints to get your feedback; they may be on other platforms or come with no guarantees of prizes. In other words, even though you're still answering a prompt, your efforts aren't always rewarded with points.
Indeed, taking part in LifePoints surveys doesn't take much work. It is made easier by a fast internet connection; you can also scroll through instructions more quickly on a larger computer screen.
There is little to no preparation needed, assuming you are answering the prompts honestly. It just depends on the things you've bought and your impressions of them.
In terms of your return on investment, LifePoints' survey quantity and quality aren't as high as those of certain other websites. You're basically only filling out a few surveys at a time that are worth a few points because they tend to fill up quickly (more on that below).
There are also fewer surveys available. This limits the amount of points you can earn to five every day, making it challenging to reach the minimum of 600 points needed to pay out for the lowest-value reward option, a $5 gift card.
LifePoints Surveys
Your dashboard is filled with surveys, so I decided to start with the first one and work my way horizontally to the right to finish them.
According to the first poll, it awarded 50 points and took about eight minutes. After providing my age and gender, I was brought to a screen informing me that the survey had already been completed.
I didn't receive any points. Rather, I was returned to my dashboard, where I selected the survey that was next in order of priority.
There were 11 minutes and 75 points in this second survey. Once more, I didn't have to go very far before the screen informed me that the survey had finished.
I did, however, get two points this time for trying the survey. For my third survey, which came with a quote of 25 minutes and 150 points, the same procedure was repeated.
I was informed that I had completed all of the surveys for that day after completing my third one, and I was advised to look at the "Community" page for further activities.
When I logged in the following day, I saw the identical notification, which prevented me from earning any LifePoints unless I checked in again later.
I didn't log out even when I closed the tab. But, I saw a "Quick Poll" that gave me one point when I returned to the LifePoints website to look at the "Community" area.
After two days of testing, I was only able to receive 26 points in the end, and I was never allowed to move on to a survey.
This may be due to my demographic profile, or any other number of factors, and other users may experience different/better results. Getting Paid
You have two options when it comes to receiving payment from LifePoints: a gift card or a contribution. The points needed to get gift cards and donations are listed along with the relevant monetary amounts.
As with Swagbucks, where each "SB" you earn is worth one cent, it could appear that one point would equal one penny, but that isn't always the case.
For instance, you would need to accrue 600 points to receive a $5 PayPal gift card. However, you only need 550 points to make the same kind of donation to the Special Olympics. You will need 2,700 points to purchase a $25 Target gift card, which is a little better value than using your points to fund a PayPal transaction.
You must have a PayPal account to use PayPal gift cards. To use most other gift cards, all you have to do is reach the minimum point requirement.
Points that are posted to your account are immediately usable. The only potential roadblock to payment is obtaining the required minimum of 550 points, or around $5, to cash out.
It does not give us much confidence to maximize earning potential because surveys were filled out as we logged in.
