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.

ok site

June 16, 2020 by Carolyn from Canada

this site is ok but holy does it take a very long time to get rewards.

Used To Be My Favourite

May 4, 2020 by Martha from Canada

I've been with this survey site for many years. Up until 2020, the surveys were many and the payouts were quick. I don't know what has changed but in the past few months the surveys are fewer and payments are lower. You do get paid without a problem but it won't add up as quickly as other places.

Does not pay

November 19, 2019 by darius from Canada

After over a decade of helping this company for very little reward, they sent me the wrong code to redeem at amazon.
After many many emails trying to get them to correct the problem, they now simply abandoned me.
I only came across Survey Police today as I was trying to find a way to warn others of Web Prospectives practices when I noticed so many bad reviews(over 60%!) on them. No wonder!
Too bad I didn't see that a decade ago.
They stand on the shoulders of the survey takers. While they charge their clients a ton of money to conduct surveys for them, they pay us very little and now nothing!

I was enjoying it

August 20, 2019 by Lisa from Canada

Web Perspectives was one of my favourite survey companies and I was really enjoying the experience of taking surveys with them. Recently I tried to redeem some points I had banked for a reward and it kept showing an error and wouldn’t allow me too. I enquired about the error and was told that my account had been flagged and indefinitely suspended due to inconsistent answers! So I am now unable to claim rewards that I feel I deserve. I tried to appeal it and haven’t heard back from them again. I was diligent in my survey taking and I am very disappointed. They owe me around $30-$35 and won’t respond or explain why I was ‘flagged’ in the first place.

suspended for no reason

July 23, 2019 by Vicki from Canada

I have been a member of Web Perspectives for many years and earned a few dollars here and there. Nothing major, maybe $50/year or so. I did a lengthy multi-day diary survey earlier this year that awarded the equivalent of $15. Since then, however, my account has been suspended. I will give them credit for responding to my inquiry, but they just gave a standard line about irregular activity and won't give me any specifics as to what I have done wrong. I don't care about the missing money, I am offended at the implication that I cheated and would like an explanation.
