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.

I joined this panel and made it to one $10 amazon gift card redemption. During one of my surveys I agreed to do an online focus group panel with a incentive of $35. As soon as I finished that focus session, they locked my account. I inquired about it and they said it was accidentally blocked and they fixed it. Still could not log in. I emailed them again and they had said I failed their quality control checks and they would give me one more chance if I answered surveys truthfully....so i got called a liar. They let me back in for about an hour and surprise my $35 is NOT there and they locked me out again for no reason. It seems if they have to pay you points, they will make excuses why you cant have them. Waste of time!

I've been with Web Perspectives for quite a few years and it's becoming more and more difficult to actually finish a survey without getting screened out. More times than not, I've been screened out after spending 5-10 minutes or more answering questions. That is very upsetting. You also get nothing for that time you spent. Other survey sites that I'm on at least give you sweepstakes entries for monthly draws. I've never won on these entries but some people do win, it's just the luck of the draw. With Web Perspectives it takes awhile to accumulate points in order to cash them in for something. Now, according to what it says on their website, they've temporarily removed gift cards, which I am not happy about. Most surveys I get say that the duration time is 20-30 minutes and I know I'll get screened out so I just delete them, what's the point? The shorter surveys say that they've filled their quota for surveyors and you aren't able to take part in them most of the time. These are usually about 5-10 minutes and you get about 100 points but you rarely get them. I may stop being part of the panel altogether.

Maybe it was good at one point but surveys take a long time to get through and they don't pay very well, customer service is non-extent, takes about 3-4 weeks to get an answer if you end up getting one, they do pay out when you get enough points though, and they do send surveys often but they don't pay well

While the surveys seem to be good and points are good, the rewards are limited and points accumulated take forever to be added to account.

I joined Web Perspectives because like other panels, they had regular survey opportunities, a reasonable payout threshold and offered cash rewards (in this case PayPal) in payments of $10.00 each.

At first getting a $10.00 PayPal payment cost you 1000 points, though you could only redeem this reward (or any other) six or seven times during the week.

Then without warning they discontinued offering PayPal. A customer service Email query indicated that they may do so at their discretion. After a few months of waiting they reinstated PayPal rewards, but then they cost 1200 points.

Now they discontinued offering PayPal for the second time and no word when they'll reinstate it and how many points to redeem it.

If you don't mind getting Chapters/Coles/Indigo or Cinelex gift cards, go for it. If you prefer cash, forget it.
