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 have done many surveys for this group. Most recently I completed the week-long Touchpoints survey, which requires you to do one survey every half hour for a week. It's a lot of time. Once I'd finished, I was told that I had to follow one last link to do a "final" survey and receive my rewards. The link wouldn't work. I requested help from AskingCanadians. They replied, said they would help... then didn't. I've reached out 6 or so times now, and at this point cannot get a reply at all. I cannot recommend anyone else spend their time doing surveys for AskingCanadians. Especially the (longest ever) Touchpoints survey!

the main attraction of this was that every survey even ones i don't qualify give my aeroplan points to make sure my account doesn't expire, points are deposited directly, even for 5 points. beyond that, little economic value.

Been doing this for a while and at first, was rewarded towards Petro Points. However the system is being abused by those who make the surveys. They collect quite a few answers to questions and then say, "Sorry we have all the respondents we need for now." Seriously, don't start the survey in the first place, particularly when logging into this, they already have much of the biographical background on you. Some surveys were horribly long and not a mere 20 minutes so to be truthful their time estimate is grossly off. As as result I cancelled doing this. More often now, one puts effort into this and get next to nothing back.

Now, I get that they need to see who qualifies and who doesn't for a survey, but what I find absolutely ridiculous is when you're halfway through a survey, or have already spent a good 10-15min answering several questions, and THAT'S when you get screened out and are compensated with a measly 5 points. Seriously? I just now did a survey where I was 90% through the questions (as shown by the progression bar) and then told my participation wasn't needed. 100% completion would have given me 75 points, but here I was at 90% and only received 5 points. Where is the logic in that? And that is not the first time this has happened to me. Incredibly frustrating. Ask your super-important screening questions at the very beginning or start giving more points based on progression and questions answered.

This site is terrible for making money. It takes way too long.
