Just to be unbiased I will give the PRO's and CONS:
Pros: Its a legit survey. Pays out quickly when you cash out. Good and short surveys to answer. Pays 50CAD or 50 rewards gift card per cash out.
Now coming to the CONS:
I joined for almost three years only cashed out once. Seldom gives you surveys. (Mostly 1-2 surveys per week.) When you open the surveys its closed or not available anymore. The CAP up mark is 5000pts. "No wonder why it will take you more than a year to cash out.
The worst part is. I think this survey is biased. Doesn't want your opinion. If you answer it with what you think its right. "They will flag you and tell you that the answer is inconsistent to what they require or gibberish.
Important point to be aware for survey takers. Watch out when you are taking care of your points when you're almost there to cash out. They will "unsubscribe your account." Without notifying you. And when you asked them for an explanation. Will let you wait for a day or two to get an answer. And As I've said "reason is your answer doesn't meet with what they are expecting."
Honestly I really don't care about the cash out rewards reason for joining the survey is that It talks about what is happening about the Canadian society. And survey is short and accurate with reality.
Note: Maybe the survey site does not want you to answer on different computers. Like I'm answering it from my home, cellphone and work. Maybe the reason why I have been disconnected is due to having different IP address. (home, cellphone and work IP address.)

When I initially started completing surveys with Maru Voice Canada, I remember being surprised how quickly my points added up, for the first while. Then I noticed that there was the option to fill out forms from other companies through Maru Voice Canada. So, I just thought that it's nice to have options. Then I started to notice that with these companies, the predicted time frame was off. When they claimed a survey would take 15 minutes, it would be 20 or 25. While I am honest, so read and consider my answers, I am also decisive, so seldom spend time questioning which option I should choose. But repeatedly find that the time was off. Which a drag in a variety of ways but the foremost being, that I have 15 minutes to do the survey and the points sound fair for that timeframe but then it takes much longer so I either delete and lose my points (and waste my time) or am late for what I was supposed to do. In addition, it seems like it takes much longer to accumulate points, perhaps this is my perception due to the previous mentioned concerns, but I honestly don't think so. Mostly because during Covid I have a noticeable amount of time at home so why not make use of it to fill out surveys. Lastly, the one time that I contacted them to ask a question about the wording and structure of a question that I found confusing and ambiguous, the reply was so blunt, accusatory and unprofessional AND it never answered my question. But on the positive side it was such a defensive and unprofessional reply that it made me laugh for a good minute.
I am over ½ way to getting a GC but I am increasingly thinking of cutting my losses and just deleting my account.

I was with this site for almost 4 years. The emails are few and takes on average 1 year for 1x payout of $50. The first 3 years were fine, this year I had barely earned 2,000 of the needed 5,000 points to cash out and my account was deleted.
