Not worth it anymore

October 5, 2014 by Cherry from Canada

This website isn't worth doing anymore. They don't offer any good prizes and they stopped accepting Paypal payments. Back when they offered Paypal and were ripping people off by $2 for a $10 payment was still worth it.

But without Amazon gift cards or Paypal this company is no good anymore.

Has become too unberable

September 19, 2014 by Richard from Canada

If you love extremely poor customer service and getting ripped off, this is the site for you. I've been using it for 2 years and it's come to the point that I'm closing my account. There are way better sites you can be doing. DO THOSE SITES! The only thing that made this half decent was amount earned for surveys. But if your surveys go pending, don't expect the credit before 8 weeks later and that's after fighting tooth and nail with them. Customer service? Again, expect a month delay on tickets you send in if you're that lucky. Rewards are bare minimum and a rip off. All good ones are no longer. Want $10 dollars Paypal? That'll cost you $12. It's $11 for 5 Air miles. That's by far the biggest rip off. I ordered Paypal over 7 weeks ago, after sending in almost 50 tickets for support, I finally get a message back saying they no longer have Paypal and they refuse to return the money I reddem back to my account. For a company that is only around because of it's users, you'd think they'd actually put some emphasize on on customer service, but that's wishful thinking. I'd recommend Global Test Market and Opinion Outpost. I won't even give my referral link because all I want to do is warn people of this site. So again, if you enjoy being ripped off, sign right up.

Great place

May 14, 2014 by Joseph from Canada

I have been with this site for a few months now and am completely satisfied. I haven't tried to redeem my points for paypal. It says it has paypal on the rewards page so I assume they brought it back. I spend all my rewards points on swagbucks points (750 SB's for 800 Points) I use swagbucks to cash out with paypal. I find the rewards for the surveys on this site to be decent. I normally get 200 points per survey, which takes me 10 minutes. Which equals out to being paid 12 dollars per hour worth of surveys. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because sometimes your 80% done a survey and are disqualified and you get no rewards for that time you wasted.

Steady Level Of Surveys

February 8, 2014 by Amanda from Canada

I've been with Web Perspectives for a couple of years now and they are pretty decent with the number of surveys they offer and the payment. I've never had a problem with a survey crashing yet and no missing points. The only downside is that they no longer offer paypal as an option but you can still cash in for movie passes and Chapters/Indigo. They are fairly decent with responding to requests as well but they still offer no reasonable explanation for why they no longer deal with Paypal.
