How LEO Surveys Works

leo surveys website

Express Yourself and Get LEO Points

LEO Surveys offers their members the opportunity to earn 'LEO Points' for completing paid surveys. After joining LEO for free, you will be e-mailed invitations to complete surveys, as they become available. If you prefer taking surveys on your phone, you can use the LEO app (available on both Android and iOS) to take surveys, check your account balances and redeem your rewards, straight from your mobile device.

How Much You Can Earn

Cash values of survey completions vary, however Leger Opinion advertises amounts that range between $1-$35. LEO points may be redeemed for cash payments made via PayPal, gift cards, pre-paid Visa cards, Air Miles, and Aeroplan miles. You may request a reward when your account reaches a balance of $20.00.

Payment and Rewards

Reward Details

Rewards come in the form of LEO Points that can be redeemed for cash, Air Miles, Aeroplan Miles, Paypal, Visa prepaid cards, Uber gift cards, as well as for gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, and more.

To collect Air Miles (Canadians-only), you can transfer LEO Points directly into your Air Miles account. Note that LEO points or Air Miles may take 72 hours to appear in your account after you have completed a survey.

Another option is using your points to give back to charitable causes. LEO has partnered with the One Tree Planted and you can donate as little as 18000 LEO points ($18.00) to make a contribution to have 10 trees planted.

Redeeming Rewards

Once you have earned $20 you can choose to cash out via PayPal, e-gift card, or Aeroplan. Alternatively, you can request 20 Air Miles Reward Miles for $10 in earnings.

Survey Taking Experience

Survey Details

Each survey typically awards $1.00, and because the surveys are quick and easy (most take about 8-10 minutes), your account balance should build up quickly. It can take up to 72 hours for your points to be credited to your account, and longer surveys pay up to $35. New surveys are typically available every week, but you'll only see the ones that fit your profile. For each survey you'll complete, you'll get points and Chances to bet on LEO's weekly and monthly contests. Note that you will need to complete at least 3 surveys a year to remain an active member.

Many surveys are also geared towards Francophone Canadians, and are offered in French

The Leger Opinion team has created compatibility tools that allow members to participate in surveys anywhere at any time! Download the LEO app on your iPhone or Android phone, so you can be notified directly when surveys become available. The website is also tablet and mobile friendly for added convenience!

Good...But...

June 17, 2017 by Joanne from Canada

I make about $20/week with Legerweb, so that is great. The only down side is that they make you cash out at $20, nothing over that. So if you have $40 in your account, you have to wait for a week or more before you can cash out another $20. There is no need for this! Why can't they cut a cheque for more than $20 at a time? Other than that, I do appreciate the steady $20/week. And rarely do the surveys cancel out like so many companies. If not for the $20 issue, I'd give them 5 stars.

Leger Payout

June 14, 2017 by Dwight from Canada

Generally the surveys are ok and they do payout. However, why does it take 6 weeks to make up a $20.00 cheque? This is far too long to do a simple payout

Horrible

May 29, 2017 by Adam from Canada

They'll get you thinking you'll save enough to cash out but you won't be able to after a while. Waste of time.

Way too long for compensation

April 3, 2017 by Sue from United States

I cashed out $20.00 here mid February. Never received check. Emailed about a month ago and got response to expect 6 weeks to get paid. Still no check. I like this site and this is only 2nd time in 4 years I have made minimum to cash out. I hoped they would be an exception to the slow pay rule. I was wrong.

Lies About Referrals/Surveys Stopped at $19.50

September 1, 2016 by Justin from Canada

Signed up for Legerweb about two weeks ago, initially it was great, I was getting surveys on a daily basis and before I knew it I was nearly at 20.00. I sent some referrals to friends and family members, my cousin and my little brother signed up and both completed surveys. When I noticed that I didn't get my $1.00 x 2 for referrals I contacted legerweb. They informed me that my brother had deleted his referral (a blatant lie as he works right next to me and I watched him sign up and do FOUR surveys) and that my cousin had not yet completed his first survey, both of which were a lie. I replied to this 48 hours ago advising that I am in constant contact with the two individuals in question and have received no response. Furthermore the moment I hit $19.50 my survey invitations stopped completely, in my opinion a bit more than a coincidence. Stay away !!
