Most users report getting responses to their inquiries within a few hours. Believe it or not they actually have phone support which is quite the rarity these days.

LifePoints

My Survey also boasts of an excellent customer support team that not only responds to your queries quickly but does so in a most courteous manner. They also periodically come up with innovations like focus groups and product testing in their market research surveys to infuse greater variety into the process.

As with many programs, the main concern most users think of when deciding to join Media Rewards is privacy concerns. Fortunately, the company has an extensive privacy policy that should address any issues you may have.

Though you might be concerned about battery life and performance with a largely app-based program, there's no need to be concerned. Media Insiders' app is very lightweight and you shouldn't notice any additional battery drain or decreased performance of your mobile device.

LifePoints

There isn’t too much not to like about LifePoints but there has been some minor feedback from users about getting disqualified for surveys. This is because of the demographics the company is looking for at any given time. If you find yourself getting disqualified from multiple surveys you might want to move on to another panel.
