Are you a savvy Canadian consumer?

AskingCanadians is a research community that allows you to share your opinion about numerous leading Canadian brands. Share your input on consumer products and in exchange you will receive your choice of exciting gifts.

Unique reward options

Established in 2005, AskingCanadians allows members to earn their choice of HBC Rewards points, Aeroplan Miles, Petro-Points or Via Rail Preference Points. You can also choose AC points, which can be redeemed for Amazon eGift cards. Members must earn points towards one chosen reward brand, but this can be changed. Points collected can also be used to enter into lucrative prize draws through the AskingCanadians website. If you do not qualify to complete a survey, you will still be entered into a draw to win a “thank you” reward for your time.

Survey redemption

Each survey will alert you to the exact quantity of points (from your chosen reward category) you will receive or if you will be eligible to win a reward for participating in the survey. Most rewards from AskingCanadians take within 2-4 weeks to appear in a users account. The quantity of the reward given from surveys taken depends on two factors: urgency and length of survey. If you decide that you would like to receive an Amazon eGift card, you will need to earn 500 points (the equivalent of $5.00). At the end of each month you will receive an e-statement from Asking Canadians that will showcase your points balance.

Get bonus points for joining

Occasionally HBC or other partners will team up with AskingCanadians to offer bonus points after joining the panel and taking a couple surveys. For instance, HBC will e-mail HBC newsletter subscribers giving new potential survey takers the opportunity to earn 500 bonus HBC points for joining AskingCanadians and completing two surveys with them.

AskingCanadians is open to all Canadians

This survey panel is open to residents of Canada only. No age restriction is needed to become a member, but individuals under the age of 16 must get a parent or legal guardian's permission to join. The amount of surveys varies significantly, and will depend on how often your unique characteristics match with the surveys on hand.

Terminated Surveys

March 21, 2016 by Gregg from Canada

Been doing this for a while and at first, was rewarded towards Petro Points. However the system is being abused by those who make the surveys. They collect quite a few answers to questions and then say, "Sorry we have all the respondents we need for now." Seriously, don't start the survey in the first place, particularly when logging into this, they already have much of the biographical background on you. Some surveys were horribly long and not a mere 20 minutes so to be truthful their time estimate is grossly off. As as result I cancelled doing this. More often now, one puts effort into this and get next to nothing back.

Not great for making money

This site is terrible for making money. It takes way too long.

No customer service

March 29, 2023 by Debrah from Canada

I have used this for a long time, but in the last year it has been horrible. I get emails and try to access surveys. I may enter as many as 15 surveys daily, but most of the time, I get disqualified. The surveys that I do complete show on the application, but the points are not being transferred to my loyalty plan. The odd time I see 2 points showing, but I should have more than that. I have emailed support, but get no reply. This is a waste of time.

A bunch of cheats

June 25, 2019 by Rajat from Canada

They keep sending surveys which promises more than 60+ Hudson's Bay points. But as soon as you fill the survey, they say they have enough people with my similar profile and so I will get only 5 points in the next 4-6 weeks. What rubbish!! They need to honour the commitment. Also, I can't see the points issuance on the Hudson's Bay Rewards account - which means both companies are not cooperating to give the customer the rewards as promised.

Waste my time will you?

October 28, 2017 by Chris from Canada

They keep offering me points to do a quick survey and IF i meet the criteria, I will get ## aeroplan points. Well, jokes on me because after a bunch of times I only get the 5 points because they already have the number of respondents or I don't meet the criteria....only AFTER I have answered all their poll Q's.......but guess what, I am just picking B for all my answers going forward!!!! JOKE IS ON YOU ASKINGCANADIANS, :P''''
