Payment and Rewards

A Panel Run By Canadians, for Canadians

Maru Voice Canada is a Canadian-run survey panel which aims to help companies, media and government learn about the values, attitudes, tastes and preferences of Canadians. Most surveys award between 50 and 500 points and you can expect to receive between 1-4 surveys a month.

Join and You Could Win $1000!

New members of Maru Voice Canada will automatically be entered into the $1000 cash prize draw upon joining the community.

Points for Surveys

The amount of points you receive and/or if you receive draws into a sweepstakes depends on the length and complexity of surveys. In order for your account to stay active, Maru Voice Canada requests panelists complete a survey at least once every 3 months.

Don't waste your time

April 6, 2017 by Brian from Canada

Nothing after 8 months.... If I count the number of surveys I do per month,I'll get my 50$ after 13 months or later.For a comparison,I only have to save 0.25$ every day to get 60$ after 8 months,so it's pretty easy to get more money without doing any surveys.Don't waste your time!

Takes way too long to cash out

December 2, 2016 by Frank from Canada

I find this crap...Angus Reid takes way too long to cash out your rewards..they make you cash out at $50 which took me over a year to do..you're lucky if you get 1 survey a month...way too long...not enough surveys...waste of time

Great experience

August 6, 2016 by Trisha from Canada

I've been a member of Angus Reid for several years and it has been a great experience. The surveys are high quality and interesting. I've never had any problems redeeming rewards. Sometimes the survey invitations seem to slow down but it's always worth the wait.

They don't pay

July 30, 2016 by Ken from Canada

Angus Reid appears to have stopped paying earned rewards. They say they will pay but do not. This have been true for 4-5 months and they have removed all individual contact links.

Avoid Angus Reid Forum.

Redemption confusing

May 10, 2016 by DL from Canada

Late last year, I applied to redeem my "survey dollars". When I visited the site recently, the survey dollars were still sitting there, but couldn't be redeemed because I had already applied. What I finally determined is they had credited my Aeroplan account for points, even though there is no mention on the site of Aeroplan as an option (has it been discontinued? who knows). The redemption was fairly good, so I will keep doing the surveys, but I hate dealing with a company whose record of my account is so confusing.
