KEY FEATURES:

Are you a savvy Canadian consumer?

AskingCanadians is a research community that allows you to share your opinion about numerous leading Canadian brands. Share your input on consumer products and in exchange you will receive your choice of exciting gifts.

Unique reward options

Established in 2005, AskingCanadians allows members to earn their choice of HBC Rewards points, Aeroplan Miles, Petro-Points or Via Rail Preference Points. You can also choose AC points, which can be redeemed for Amazon eGift cards. Members must earn points towards one chosen reward brand, but this can be changed. Points collected can also be used to enter into lucrative prize draws through the AskingCanadians website. If you do not qualify to complete a survey, you will still be entered into a draw to win a “thank you” reward for your time.

Survey redemption

Each survey will alert you to the exact quantity of points (from your chosen reward category) you will receive or if you will be eligible to win a reward for participating in the survey. Most rewards from AskingCanadians take within 2-4 weeks to appear in a users account. The quantity of the reward given from surveys taken depends on two factors: urgency and length of survey. If you decide that you would like to receive an Amazon eGift card, you will need to earn 500 points (the equivalent of $5.00). At the end of each month you will receive an e-statement from Asking Canadians that will showcase your points balance.

Get bonus points for joining

Occasionally HBC or other partners will team up with AskingCanadians to offer bonus points after joining the panel and taking a couple surveys. For instance, HBC will e-mail HBC newsletter subscribers giving new potential survey takers the opportunity to earn 500 bonus HBC points for joining AskingCanadians and completing two surveys with them.

AskingCanadians is open to all Canadians

This survey panel is open to residents of Canada only. No age restriction is needed to become a member, but individuals under the age of 16 must get a parent or legal guardian's permission to join. The amount of surveys varies significantly, and will depend on how often your unique characteristics match with the surveys on hand.

I just want to warn Canadians about this company. I've been with them for several years and I always noticed that I was short of points. It was HBC points, then Air Miles points, the latest was Petro-Canada points. I basically started to write down every survey and the number of points promised, and I discovered that I missed a lot of points. When I contacted Asking Canadians, they did nothing. They kept referring me to Petro-Canada. Only when Petro-Canada requested investigation, they investigated, and I received an email form their IT team admitting that there was a problem with their system, and they credited me with missing points worth of $40+ in gas. I can only imagine how many other customers didn't claim it and lost them unknowingly. All the partners refused to work with Asking Canadians, Petro-Canada was the latest. Now they have only Aeroplan. But dear Aeroplan members, don't waste your time and nerves, it's not worth it. It’ll take 2-4 months for the points to appear on your statement. By that time, you’ll lose track of it. The other problem is you can't track your own points on Asking Canadians website. You can only see survey numbers which tells you nothing. You don't know what the surveys were about and how many points were awarded for this survey. And they will never give you a printout or screenshot because they know there is a problem with that. Now they switched me to Asking Canadians points, because there are no other partners anymore. And when I completed one survey for which they promised 1,500 points as stated in their letter, they credited only 800 points. They keep refusing to credit the missing 700 points and they are not providing me with a printout of transactions. There is no other way to track your points. I don't recommend you join Asking Canadians; they will steal your time and points. It's not worth it. You'll have to keep your own records, otherwise you'll not notice missing points. There are other survey companies where the points are credited right away and you can track your own transactions, like RewardingYourOpinions.ca and others. You can just google them. Don't waste your time here. I'm surprised that this company still exists.

In terms of how many surveys you receive, it's not bad but when it comes to redeeming your points (I choose Amazon gift cards), the turn around time is horrendous. Takes almost 2 months and if you inquire about it, you receive NO response from anyone. Don't waste your time.

Rarely receiving the points for surveys I have completed. Sometimes it does not even register that survey was completed. They do not return inquiries. Gave up on them

I have used this for a long time, but in the last year it has been horrible. I get emails and try to access surveys. I may enter as many as 15 surveys daily, but most of the time, I get disqualified. The surveys that I do complete show on the application, but the points are not being transferred to my loyalty plan. The odd time I see 2 points showing, but I should have more than that. I have emailed support, but get no reply. This is a waste of time.

This panel delivers invalid Walmart e-certificates and expects me to contact Walmart Card Services to have it straightened out. Some do not have barcodes and Walmart will not accept them even though there is a gift card number and pin. Years ago they used physical cards, two were not loaded with money. They have done this too often so I quit.
