I do recall someone last year gave them a expired card #. but i would not even do that because its not hard to find out your info once they start getting your card numbers.....

Would you be willing to share with us the reason they gave for booting you out if they gave you one? They do so many dirty things to the members that I wondered what one could do that would be objectionable to them.

MySurvey is trying to get people to sign up for one that sounds like the Lightspeed one also. I just saw it this morning and thought - why of course I will give you all my personal info and passwords - as soon as hell freezes over.

As for Lightspeed why on earth does anyone deal with that company anymore. The are the worst survey company around. I do not believe that Lauren is a real person.

I actually am doing well with Lightspeed. Yes, I don't ever get a response from "Lauren," but I can usually cash out about every couple of months.

It's definitely not spam, just a separate panel that monitors credit card accounts. It might be safe, but it's not worth only $20 to me to find out.

Acutally, some people did a little digging from another board, and I found out that ConsumerSay is run by Lightspeed; they are one in the same. I do not remember them saying at the beginning of the survey that they would be asking for personal info or else I wouldn't have even started it.

Me too. I usually get food GC's. I've got to do more surveys this year than any year before.

Anyone have a friend or relative who is a lawyer? If you have ask them send a letter to lightspeed or this other place asking them to sign a a form where they would take full responsibilty (also liability in case of any fraudulent activity on any account where they have the information.) Of course they would probably cancel your account and then you would have to report them to your state's Attorney General...... Anybody who asks for personal information, especially info where they can access your account without your permission, should have the door slammed in their face and be put out of business. It's bad enough when a store cashier steals your CC# and goes on a shopping spree (usually you would not be liable) but you might be liable for any loses should you be foolish enough to give them access.

I am too. I usually get restaurant gift cards where we can go out to eat. I've done good so far this year.
