KEY FEATURES:

Web Perspectives is the Canadian focused survey panel, sister site to the American panel, Valued Opinions, which is operated by Dynata. The panel was started back in 2004 and has a member base of over 250,000 people. In 2018, the Web Perspectives website updated their look and feel with fresh colors and graphics, as they became a Dynata-run panel. If were already a member, your account information stayed the same through this transfer.

Been a member of Web Perspectives for over two years. I went to redeem my points a couple of weeks ago only to discover they have removed the PayPal reward option. This they did without notice. The Airmiles option of 50 Airmiles for 1000 points is equal to 60% of $10, (if redeemed for $10 worth of gas at 90 airmiles). So my $10 redemption is now worth only $6. Robbed! I had made consistent money with Web Perspectives until now and if you had asked me about them two months ago I would have rated them highly. I did receive an email back after three tries that stated, "Since March 15th Paypal has been removed until further notice whilst we look to improve the way in which our panellists redeem rewards." Some improvement! I'm 'cashing' out and dumping these guys as soon as they approve all of my points. Panelists should consider Boycotting these guys. I won't be doing their surveys anymore. Next time they just might be out of business and we will all just be out of luck.

I put up with their lengthy pre screenings that sometimes would take 10 minutes or more before you screened out of the survey because they paid through paypal. They no longer pay rewards through paypal, even though their faq says they do. We need to all band together and not do any more Web Perspective surveys until they resume paying in paypal. They can't even answer my emails? Looks like they are going out of business with the lack of customer service they are displaying. Too bad, was a good company.

I have been an active member for over 3 years which enabled me to earn approximately $450 with Paypal. Ten days ago, I tried to 'cash' my points for Paypal and realized that Paypal was no longer an option. I tried to contact them using their contact us details info. Never got any response from these guys. In my e-mail, I indicated that I was surprised that customers were not advised of such changes. Given the loyalty I had with them, I would have expected a notice from their end. Furthermore, I tried to connect to my account today to find out if Paypal was back. Well, my username / password combination no longer gives me access to their website. I guess that they cancelled my account when they got my e-mail that I was complaining about the fact that Paypal was no longer an option to cash your points. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS.

I signed up with them over a year and had no problem receiving my pay pal rewards. Since October 2012 I recently changed my email with Pay pal and Web Perspectives, and kept on doing surveys for them and making rewards to go into my Pay pal account. I soon discovered in January 2013 that since December of 2012 the money was not going into my Pay pal. I kept on emailing them and getting a email back from them saying we will get back to you shortly. Never ever did I get a actual email back about the problem. That money I was earning was for my disabled sons ADHD sensory products I was working hard to earn and now I am out 50.00-60.00 worth. I am very upset I cannot work so I don't have enough money to save again. That took me 5 months to save up from them since there are days were I cannot do them due to my pain I have. DO NOT WORK WITH THEM THEY ARE EVIL THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE!!

Often you will be disqualify after you have completed a good portion of the survey. You will get no compensation after spending a good 15 minutes answering questions in good faith. When I complain to customer service I get no response beyond a computer generated one. Recently they have stopped using PayPal as a reward payment without word to anyone. They leave it for you to discover when you go and try to cash in. Surprise, surprise you have been played and now you can cash in for 50 air miles or some such stupidity. I'm done with these bozos.
