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!

Don't like complaints

August 21, 2020 by Susan from Canada

I have been a panellist for LEO for a number if years and mostly it's been positive. Just recently I have started doing surveys and have started answering the post-screening questions and then been disqualified. Spending 8-10 minutes to then be told I won't be rewarded is annoying but if you complain, all you get are snotty emails telling you that you can basically go take a jump.

Getting the runaround

April 21, 2020 by Joe from Canada

Edit.
I had originally stated I was getting the run around. As They wanted to send me a cheque for my first payout. Even tho I had requested a PayPal payment. I did finally get my cashout via cheque. I would give them 5 stars as it is fairly easy to get the required amount to cashout. If only somewhere on the site it mentions first time cashout is done via cheque.
Just beware of that if you decide to join the site.

Americans, don't bother les than $10 a year

January 5, 2020 by kris from United States

Very low yield, I tried over 18 months (signed up as leger) trying to get to the payout threshold and it was very, very difficult. I checked nearly every day for new survey opportunities. Not worth your time.

Do Americans Qualify??

September 21, 2019 by Jim from United States

I am from the US and joined LEO (formerly Leger Web) with high hopes as interactions I have had with anything Canadian was positive (to this point). Not so here. You need to be INVITED to take their surveys and I never was. If you look at the positive reviews, you will see they are all from Canada. Why invite US citizens if you do not want their opinions?

Don't bother if you live in the U.S.

June 11, 2019 by Cinque from United States

They blocked my account for no reason (I can't sign in). They never sent me any surveys! It appears they only give out surveys to Canadian citizens. Why do they even allow U.S. residents to sign up if they're not going to send us surveys?...weird!
