Web Perspectives

According to the Web Perspectives website, they have established themselves as one of Canada’s premier sources for understanding the opinions, attitudes, and preferences of all types of Canadians. To date over 400,000 Canadians have joined the web perspectives online research panel, and these people are all actively sharing their views and opinions on a whole range of different topics that matter to them.

They are currently inviting people to participate in fun and entertaining online surveys, which will assist various companies and organisations throughout Canada to better understand their consumers. By providing research and information in these surveys, companies will be better positioned to make important decisions about their products and services, and your input will have a lasting impact on these.

Comments Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Kim From: Canada Comment: At one time this survey company was one of my better ones but now I will not do their surveys. They decided that they were removing Paypal incentives from their reward offerings until further notice. Im not interested in any of the other offers like Chapters/Indigo gift card, airmiles, etc, only Paypal. If they had offered Amazon cards I would have gone with those. If Paypal comes back I will continue with them. Date: Jun 11, 2013 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Michael From: Canada Comment: Since the change of most of the survey panels in 2010/2011, this panel has improved. It is by far the best panel for Canadians in my opinion. Most surveys that I complete are worth at least 2 dollars (200pts) for about 20 minutes worth of work. While this is not as good as minimum wage, it is good for surveys since most pay little to nothing to complete elsewhere. Most other panels I have been with since 2011 have had few surveys unless your a drinker/smoker (neither of which I am), but this one has had several that are not and are for a wide variety of people. They have surveys mainly about foods and televisions commercials/shows. The only negative about this panel is that the panelist generally have to wait an extreme length of time (several weeks) before receiving their credit, but in my opinion this is not much of an issue as I know that they eventually pay. Date: May 11, 2012 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Jesse From: Canada Comment: I have a mixed review of Web Perspectives. Positives: I receive at least one survey invitation a day, which is more than I can say for a lot of survey/research websites out there. The incentives for each survey seem to be on par if not better than any other site as well. They do compensate you very approriately based on length of the survey. The cashout threshold of 1000 points is not overly difficult to reach. When you are completeing a survey each day or even every second day at an average incentive of 150 points, they add up quick! Once you have reached the cash out threshold, the rewards offered are very good. Unlike a lot of websites out there, Web Perspectives will pay cash via paypal instead of cheque, which I personally find very convenient. If you choose to cash in your rewards for Air Miles, I will say that you will receive an email instructing how to claim the miles within 24 hours. Negatives: Like many negative comments on this site, I too hate the fact that it takes weeks and weeks once you have completed a survey for your points to go from pending to credited. To give an example I currently have 350 points credited and 3050 pending. That's $30 worth of points pending. Once again, to agree with the many other negative comments on this site, it takes 2-4 weeks to recieve payment once you have selected a paypal cash out. Web Perspectives customer service is no existent. When you click on "contact us" it is simply a web based email. I have never received a response within 48 hours of my email, and on the few times that I have received a response at all, communication stops after the first reply. In conclusion, I can see why so many people are frustrated with this site and give it a negative rating. However, I will say that although Web Perspectives is just all around slow with everything, they do follow through with payment and I have never had any disputes regarding disappearing points. For these reasons I continue to recommend Web Perspectives to others with the caveat, you have to be patient!

This transaction still isn't completed and I've sent 4 emails with absolutely no response. Not good!!!

Receive about 1 cineplex movie ticket per month. Would get more if I had more time to do more surveys as I get about 1-2 surveys from them a day. Only problem is pending credits remain pending for long before they turn into usable points.

They give you credit when you do the survey but after few days they cheat and take out some points from your account, thinking tht no one will realise about the missing points.. I keep a tab of the all the survey's that i do and keep checking them. I have sent them 20 emails about the missing credit but no one replied back...I find Opinion outpost the best survey site..I have 3000 points pending from the last one and half month but they are not crediting it..sometimes i get annoyed as they have stated within 4-6 weeks but they take more thne 12-14 weeks to give the credit and thn anther 4-6 weeks to claim it...and btwn that time the surveys u took initially gets missing from your account. If you have a lot of patience, you can opt for it!!

All seems well, but the issue is in actually being CREDITED and PAID. Right now in my account I have 650 points credited - 1000 needed to cash out - and another 650 that have just been sitting there for a few weeks now. Surveys are supposed to credit within a few days. If I were you, I would not get involved. If you already are, work towards your cashout, get it (hopefully), and stay the heck away.

From: Canada Comment: This was once upon a time, a good survey site that offered multiple survey invitations daily, paid quickly and very often received $10 after $10 to my paypal..... Since the 2nd part of 2010 things have gotten worse gradually....... Many survey invites but the credits remain pending for months, NOT ONLY THAT, they cheat members, they lave your credits pending thinking you will forget, then they sneak behind you and remove a few pending projects credits. If you keep tabs of things you will notice missing 300, missing 800, missing many pending credits you once had, yet your main total unchanged......... As others pointed out they never as much as reply to your e-mails. This site has allures of a scam.... They once had the better business bureau logo on their site, it was removed. I am placing complaints to the BBB and all relevant authorities to look into such alleged fraudulent activities. I advise people not to join this site, they have zero support and zero respect for panel members. IT is one of the worst atm, maybe 2nd worst to zoompanel. Eventually if you made lots of money and they see they pay you a lot they will then block you from taking surveys claiming you cheated or inconsistent data in your profile when you did nothing and they will never reply to you. Big scam. Steer clear. Date: Jan 27, 2011 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Steve From: Canada Comment: SLOW,SLOW,SLOW. While it is true that WP does send you a fair number of relevant surveys, that 'pay' fairly well, I find my usual situation with them is having a $10 cash payment 'pending,' close to 1000 points sitting in my account waiting to cash in, and me turning down months' worth of surveys cause i dont want to do it for free. Wether they think it's a way to keep from paying out or getting work for free, it's just shooting themselves in the foot.

Date: Dec 07, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: LJ From: Canada Comment: First of all, if you don't read any further, please read this: Don't waste your time with Web Perspectives! They don't give you what is promised. I agree with the comments made by F.D. At first, I responded to their surveys religiously. I mostly redeemed my points (you need a minimum of 1,000 for a reward) for movie coupons or Chapters/Indigo gift certificates. It was okay in the beginning. Then I began to notice that I had answered surveys that took 30-40 minutes sometimes and offered 400-500 points in return. The problem was that those points sat there in my "pending" list for an unreasonable amount of time. When I contacted customer service through their online web form, I initially got a response saying that sometimes if the survey was conducted by a 3rd party, it took longer to be credited for the points. So I began to complete only the surveys that were conducted by Web Perspectives and not a "partner". Well, that made zero difference! I have 1,000 points sitting in my "pending" list and it has been months. I sent an inquiry to Web Perspectives back in August and didn't receive the dignity of a reply. I then sent another one the 2nd week in November and haven't heard a thing. I told them that if I didn't hear from them within 2 business days, I would unsubscribe and add them to my blocked senders list. I still haven't heard from anyone. It shows how much they value their members. What a joke! Do yourself a favour and forget about joining Web Perspectives. You'll never get anything out of them for the valuable time you spend completing surveys!

Date: Oct 21, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: F.D. Thomson From: Canada Comment: Credits have been pending for 10 weeks, five attempts at contacting the fictional "Member Services" with NO resolution, not even so much as a courtesy reply. Obviously their priorities lie elsewhere. Therefore I will be unsubscribing and marking ANY email from Web Perspectives as spam. Date: Sep 16, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Jason From: Canada Comment: Web Perspectives is one of the few legitimate survey websites on the internet today. They do offer great rewards ranging from cash to gift certificates. Rewards are not hard to achieve (1000 points for $10), and I regularly receive surveys offering reward points ranging from 50 (not usual) to 600. (The average reward points per survey is around 200). If you are an Airmiles Collector this site does offer Airmiles Reward Miles as a reward instead of cash. After reviewing other survey sites that offers Airmiles as well, Web Perspectives is definitely the best bang for your points. (50 airmiles for 1000 reward points). The only beef I have with Web Perspectives is that it does sometimes take a while for your reward points to be deposited into your account after you finish a survey. As well, once you claim a cash reward it does usually take a couple of weeks for it to appear in your PayPal account. Overall Web Perspectives is one of the best survey websites on the internet.
