I have been a member of Life Points for a very long time. I have always redeemed my points for e-gift cards since the beginning when I joined. So I ordered a Target gift card on June 28***** and I received an email on July 2 ***** saying that my order was canceled due to a technical issue. I tried reordering the gift card on July 3, 2024 and now Helpdesk said that I have to get a Pay Pal account that they can track. I asked them why I wasn't notified that they changed the requirements for point redemption so that I could have redeemed all my points and have gotten out of this panel. I am not getting a PayPal account that sounds ridiculous to me, I should have been given the opportunity to redeem my points. I never had a problem with cashing in the e gift cards. I have ********************************************************************* a lot of time and earned.Business Response

Hello **********.
My name is *********. I am a Manager with LifePoints and have taken a look into your concerns.
I have confirmed that your account is active and you are able to redeem. However, you must first link a 'verified' PayPal account to your ********************** account. If you don't already have one, creating a PayPal account is easy. Go to ***************************, click "Sign Up" and follow the screen prompts. Then, verify your account by linking either a bank account or a debit/credit card to the PayPal account you create.
This is a security measure that has been put into place to keep our LifePoints Community safe and secure. Unfortunately, without linking a verified PayPal account to your ********************** account, you will not be able to redeem your LPs.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I was not told about this change in the redemption process. They should have told panel members that this change was coming so that I could have redeemed my points before this happened. I am not getting a Pay Pal account and attaching it to a bank account. They do not need my personal information. All I want is the gift cards I earned.

Hello **********.
I understand that you might not be happy with the processes we must enforce in order to keep our LifePoints panel safe. Unfortunately, linking a 'verified' PayPal account to your ********************** account, redeeming for a PayPal award and receiving the funds is required in order for you to redeem. As mentioned to you in the Help Desk ticket you submitted, once you have completed these steps, any future redemptions you make will be able to be redeemed for any of the reward options available to you in your online catalog.

I am rejecting this response because: I tried redeeming my points for a gift card before they switch over to this new PayPal policy. All I want is the gift card that I earned. I am not going to give them my bank information to set up an account.

***************************************Business Response
Date: 08/05/2024
Hello **********.
Please understand, this is not a new policy. When an account is flagged by our system, for any reason, members are required to link a 'verified' PayPal account, redeem for a PayPal reward and receive the funds before they will be able to redeem for any of the other reward options available. Unfortunately, if you do not follow these steps, you will not be able to redeem. The system does not allow any exceptions.Initial Complaint

I have been a member of LifePoints for a very long time, going back to when it was My Survey. I have not have survey opportunities for months. This goes back to roughly March 2024, when I updated some profile questions and qualified for one survey. I always took my survey invites seriously and with honesty. Since then, I have patiently waited for surveys to populate onto my dashboard, but they never did. It was also at this time that I noticed that my points were "migated" in March and ALL my back history was gone. Lastly, I tried to do something so I decided to redeem points for a reward; I received an error message stating "A problem has occurred. Please contact Support so that we can take a look into things for you."I reached out to LifePoints Help on June 10, 2024 to inquire, initially about the lack of surveys after months of waiting, and then the reward redemption message. I received almost daily replies that my account was in research with the team. Finally, on June 20, 2024 I received a reply that my account was suspended and all my points were forfeited. I have no idea why and I would like to appeal. As I said, I take this seriously too. My account currently shows ****** LifePoints. That's hundreds of dollars that I just lost, not to mention all the time I invested answering hundreds of surveys over the years. To accrue that many points means I must be doing something right. The kicker is that I am still receiving survey and community emails from LifePoints.I don't understand why I am suspended and would like to have my account reviewed as soon as possible. Thank you so much.Business Response

I would like to get some explanations from Lifepoint regarding the suspension of my membership recently. After I created a private account on the site, I participated extensively in the competitions that the site announces through social networking sites, but I had no luck there, and when I decided to start participating in surveys, I was surprised that my account was suspended until...

I would like to file a complaint against one of the worst sites I have ever seen. Once I joined the site, the instructions were simple. Complete the surveys honestly in exchange for prizes. That's about it. Then as soon as I completed my first survey, they suddenly suspended my membership without any real reason, without even getting the first points for my first survey.Business Response

I have a problem with the ******************* administrators for surveys. After I created an account on the site, I solved the questions related to the profile. After that, several days later, the site stopped sending any invitations to participate in surveys. I checked and they completely suspended my membership. I was no longer able to participate in any surveys. This was strange. I had not completed any surveys while my membership was suspended. I had just joined. I would really like the error to be checkedBusiness Response

after being on this panel for over 10 years, suddenly 3 weeks ago **** told i was being dismissed from your panel due to a bogus integrity issue and you were keeping my 58 dollars which i earned fair and square. No one will give me any specifics, i appealed and it took your staff 3 weeks to finally decide i was still off your panel. No one gave me any more information and refused to give me a name or phone number to speak to someone.This is unacceptable Treatment to a member who has done hundreds of surveys for you. I want my 58 dollars freed so i can cash inBusiness Response

Hello, I would like to file a complaint against Lifepoint for surveys. I created an account in March and I was completely accepted. I filled out most of the personal information according to their advice so that the surveys would be matched to my profile. I completed only one survey worth 75LPS. After that, they canceled my membership. This was sudden, without me making any mistake, I think. This is completely unfairBusiness Response

I had a previous membership in the ******************* from 1Mar until 17Mar. Since I joined, I completed several surveys and won more than one award. After that, I was unfairly excluded from the community, as no surveys have appeared since March 17th. This is really annoying. Trust and true opinions are the most important rule for them and me. I was just giving my honest opinion without any evasions, but in the end I got nothing in return. I think I have the right to get an honest justification from them for what happened. So I hope to make my voice heard to themBusiness Response

I have been a member of Lifepoints panel since 2008, when it was My Survey. I have always filled out the surveys with honesty and integrity. In early May I tried to redeem some points for a $50 gift card. A few days later I received a message that they could not complete my order and to contact them. I sent them a message explaining what happened and they replied that they closed my account for no apparent reason. I have $140 in rewards that they refuse to give me.Business Response

I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the service I have received from LifePoints over the past 40 days. Since I first raised my issue, I have been unable to redeem my points through any method, whether PayPal or any eGift card.Throughout this period, I have diligently communicated with LifePoints support team and followed every request. Despite my efforts, I have faced several unwarranted accusations and delays. My PayPal account, which has been active for over a decade and is linked with my two banks and my SSN, was incorrectly blamed for the problem. I provided the requested screenshots of error messages, but received no response about it. In my interactions, I have had to repeatedly redirect the LifePoint team to the original issue, as I often received irrelevant and generic, manual responses from them that did not address my problem, only to be accused of submitting more than one ticket, which allegedly delayed the resolution according to them. This has been extremely frustrating and has only served to prolong the process, which they have never acknowledged. Moreover, my most recent messages have been totally ignored and my issue remains unresolved.In addition, I have noticed a complete absence of surveys for the past 40 days, suggesting a potential problem with my LifePoints account, which I also brought to their attention but received no response about either.This situation is unacceptable. This issue is not merely about a $5 payout or the loss of accumulated points; it reflects an egregious and unacceptable level of service that no company should exhibit.I am requesting immediate resolution and the payout of my points, which has been delayed for 40 days.Business Response
