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.

Awesome rewards, however...

September 23, 2017 by Steve from Canada

Loving this site for its ease of redemption with one caveat ... for some reason you are limited to two redemption selections per 24 clock hours vs calendar days, which is to say you wait a full 24 before you can process the next one.
It took me ten days to process my Amazon gift certificates because they are issued only in $10 increments for some reason not clear to me.
Having said that, the emails with the claim codes are easily converted to your Amazon account.

Fast Accumulation

May 17, 2017 by John from Canada

Keep with them. Once you go up in status they send you a lot of surveys and these usually pay $1.00 or more apiece. One trick: on completing a survey you sometimes get a message that there aren't any more. Keep the dashboard open as often the other surveys shown are still active. Also, sometimes refreshing the dashboard yields new surveys.

Pretty good, but some annoying issues

April 25, 2017 by Jean from Canada

I've only been doing this for a short period of time, but so far the rewards have been very good. My biggest complaint is several times I have almost completed a survey, only to have it thank me and stop. I'm talking well after going through the questions to see if you meet the criteria. They need to stop these companies from doing this. They're getting their surveys done without having to compensate this way. I have wasted way too much time on surveys such as these.

Daily redemption rate restricted!

April 24, 2017 by Telly from Canada

I'm a regular Web Perspectives panelist (3 years) and consider it one of the better survey sites. Use it to collect Amazon.ca gift certificates that come in handy at Christmas and and for other necessary items, some of which I can get cheaper on Amazon than in retail stores. Very useful. I figure about $300 - 400 per year, without obsessing. Get fewer surveys than I did at first. What I discovered today when making a redemption was that they have now limited the number of redemptions to 2 per day. So even though I have enough reward points for $100 in gift cards for amazon.ca, I could not redeem the full amount today, as planned. Instead I will have to stage the redemptions over the next four days. Fortunately, I was just "banking" my Amazon.ca gift cards for future use, but if I had needed to use $100 worth today for a special item I would have been out of luck and very upset that I received Zero notification of the change from Web Perspectives. Also had to provide my phone number and have WP call or message me to confirm my order. They called immediately and provided a 6 digit code three times via a machine voice. I had to enter the code on my computer screen to confirm. All this for $20 worth of amazon.ca gift card credit. Anyway, forewarned is forearmed. Don't stock up on Web Perspectives reward points and expect to spend them all in one place suddenly.
