      I have been a member of the ******************* for a year. After joining the site, I participated in several surveys and it was nice for a long time. I would give my opinion and some suggestions and get rewards. After that, suddenly my membership was cancelled. I contacted the support team and they were very nice, but the reasons they said were that I might have... I did it randomly and completely unacceptable. In fact, I would still like the problem to be monitored and verified more widely, and I will fully accept the decision after that.

      I have been a member of the ******************* for about a year. After I joined the site and participated several times in the surveys available on my account, the site suddenly stopped sending invitations to participate in the surveys. After contacting the support team, they were very helpful. The problem was resolved several days ago. After that, I moved forward and as soon as I started being active on my account. I was expelled and informed that my membership had been cancelled. In fact, I had just started participating. What mistake did I make in less than a few minutes? I hope that the problem will be reviewed and that I will be informed if I have made any serious mistake.

      I heard a lot of good news about the site from some friends, so I joined the site, and after a few hours, my membership was canceled for no real reason. When I contacted the support team, the answer was not answered accurately. They sent many reasons why I could have done this. This is inaccurate, and it is an entirely unfair decision.

      I joined the ******************* on February 6, and I have not undertaken any other activities. I took a quick look at the sites community and a second look at the sites available activities. Several days later, my membership was canceled without prior warning or without even informing me of the reason. Therefore, I hope that it will be confirmed that I have not done anything. error for this to happen

      I registered on the Lifepoint website, and after hard work, I received my first reward after several days. I received a message canceling my membership when logging in to my account. This really hurts me. I can use the **** account, but things do not like this form.

      I started my membership on the Lifepoint website on February 26, and a few days later my membership was canceled when I was participating in a survey that I was invited to via email from the site. Well, what happened after that was that my membership was suddenly canceled. I hope they have a real reason for this. This is very disappointing.

      I want to complain about the Life Point survey site. I have been a member for more 2 years, but for a reason I do not know, I was excluded from all surveys, as the site stopped sending any lawsuits via my e-mail several months ago, and the account is always empty of any activities that I could I participate in it. I would like my account to be reviewed by an official and to make sure that there is any problem.

      This is becoming an issue where my account gets deactivated, without an explanation. I have asked LifePoint customer service, many times, to explain to me what policy I'm violating, but they never give me any information. They just deactivate my account. I have earned my points honestly and ethically. They send me multiple surveys. at any given time, and I take those as quickly as I can because many of them are time sensitive. What this looks like is a way for them not to pay out for what I and others have earned. This seems to me like an unethical business practice and one the needs to be addressed. I have asked for details of what policy I have violated and all I receive is 'generic " answer related to quality standards. I have been taking their surveys for over a year now, and I haven't been accused of anything, until my points balance started getting very high. They are not telling me what I am doing to violate their policy. They keep sending me surveys to take. If I was violating a policy, I should either not get surveys as often as I do. This appears to be a way for them to avoid compensating people for their time and effort. They are obtaining feedback from the people that take these surveys, pass that information on to clients, then close accounts with no justifiable reason. I would like for my account to be restored and allow me to be able to use my points that I have earned, fairly, honestly, and ethically. They even give me bonus points for participating and taking surveys. If I was doing something deemed to not meet their quilty standards, then how do justify giving me bonus points? I have been very honest and transparent with them, and they are not doing the same thing with me and other people that give valuable feedback. Please restore my account.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      This response does not provide what I did that went against your policy.  Again, I have explained to previous agents of anything that possibly could have happened with some of these surveys. I have earned well over $1200 in my account. I would like exact details as to what I did that gives you the right to deactivate my account. Please provide those details. I also want a corporate contact number.  This process has been very disappointing and unethical.  

      Thank you,

      Unfortunately, as mentioned previously, we are unable to reactivate your account due to your membership not meeting our quality standards.  For security purposes, we do not disclose specific information as to why/how your account was flagged.

      Again, I understand that this is not the favorable outcome you were hopping for, and it is not one we take lightly, but it is necessary in order to continue providing the quality results our clients expect.

      Lightspeed provides my restaurant with a cloud based POS system. There is a monthly fee that Lightspeed deducts directly from my business checking account via ***. Through a clerical error by Lightspeed, the *** payments were discontinued. After they failed to collect my payments for two months, they determined that my account was past due. I was not aware that they stopped the *** payment and they did not send me any billing or communicate in any way that there was a problem. On Tuesday 9/19 at approximately 5:30pm Lightspeed deactivated my POS in the middle of dinner service. I was forced to halt service and close early, forgoing most of my potential sales for the night. There were some customers that had been served that were unable to pay. I lost perishable product. I had multiple customer complaints. The sales I was able to complete on that day were $1,701.6. The average Tuesday sales from 8/1-9/12 were $4782.07. I the difference is $3,080.47. While it is imposable to calculate my exact loses, I estimate them to be *****, which I feel *********** be compensated for by Lightspeed.They have offered to credit my fees for the next 4 months, equaling $1396. This is not enough.Lightspeed has agreed that all of the events I described are adequate and that they were at fault.

      You have reached the wrong LightSpeed.  We are LightSpeed Research, an online survey panel.  We do not have anything to do with POS systems.  I believe you are trying to file a complaint against Lightspeed Commerce.

      Hope you get the issues you are experiencing resolved.
