LEO was formally known as LegerWeb. This change occurred on May 1, 2019.

LEO Surveys (Leger Opinion) is Canada’s largest online surveys community, conducting approximately 500 online studies each year. LEO focuses on Canadian survey takers, but if you live in the USA, you can also take surveys on their platform. Many surveys are also geared towards Francophone Canadians, and are offered in French.

How LEO Surveys Works

leo surveys website

Express Yourself and Get LEO Points

LEO Surveys offers their members the opportunity to earn 'LEO Points' for completing paid surveys. After joining LEO for free, you will be e-mailed invitations to complete surveys, as they become available. If you prefer taking surveys on your phone, you can use the LEO app (available on both Android and iOS) to take surveys, check your account balances and redeem your rewards, straight from your mobile device.

How Much You Can Earn

Cash values of survey completions vary, however Leger Opinion advertises amounts that range between $1-$35. LEO points may be redeemed for cash payments made via PayPal, gift cards, pre-paid Visa cards, Air Miles, and Aeroplan miles. You may request a reward when your account reaches a balance of $20.00.

Payment and Rewards

Reward Details

Rewards come in the form of LEO Points that can be redeemed for cash, Air Miles, Aeroplan Miles, Paypal, Visa prepaid cards, Uber gift cards, as well as for gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, and more.

To collect Air Miles (Canadians-only), you can transfer LEO Points directly into your Air Miles account. Note that LEO points or Air Miles may take 72 hours to appear in your account after you have completed a survey.

Another option is using your points to give back to charitable causes. LEO has partnered with the One Tree Planted and you can donate as little as 18000 LEO points ($18.00) to make a contribution to have 10 trees planted.

Redeeming Rewards

Once you have earned $20 you can choose to cash out via PayPal, e-gift card, or Aeroplan. Alternatively, you can request 20 Air Miles Reward Miles for $10 in earnings.

Survey Taking Experience

Survey Details

Each survey typically awards $1.00, and because the surveys are quick and easy (most take about 8-10 minutes), your account balance should build up quickly. It can take up to 72 hours for your points to be credited to your account, and longer surveys pay up to $35. Panel members will be sent on average about 1-2 survey invitations a month and most surveys come with a cash incentive in addition to prize draw entries. Note that you will need to complete at least 3 surveys a year to remain an active member.

Complete Surveys Anywhere Using the LEO app

The Leger Opinion team has created compatibility tools that allow members to participate in surveys anywhere at any time! Download the LEO app on your iPhone or Android phone, so you can be notified directly when surveys become available. The website is also tablet and mobile friendly for added convenience! No need to rush to your computer when a survey has become available.

Check out the interactive portion of the LEO online surveys website, where fun and interesting poll questions can be answered in real time. Members can even send in their own questions, which may appear on the website!

Love, Hate, Rate

LEO also has an option to participate in their Love, Hate, Rate program which allows you to express yourself as a customer of products you interact with, the places you visit, the events you attend and more. Share your experience in complete confidentiality to express your opinions anywhere, anytime. Comments received are used to identify trends and assign ratings to businesses, products, brands, events and services.

Refer Your Friends

For each friend you refer, you earn $1. A referral is considered complete when the referred party finishes their profile and completes one survey.

Don't waste your time

October 6, 2021 by PJ from United States

I have been a member for several years. Surveys are only a few a month. I have been saving up my points for quite some time. I tried to get into my account a couple of weeks ago and I was locked out. Sent an email and today finally got a response :
Our system detected in your account information data that calls into question the authenticity of your profile.

Our system is built to avoid the creation of duplicated accounts, accounts outside of Canada or the United States and therefore limit the cases of fraud.

That’s why your account is unfortunately closed for a breach of the rules issued in the user policy and the accumulated rewards will be suspended. Not sure what they are talking about. I do not have multiple accounts. All the time spent was wasted and I got paid nothing.

Increasingly deceptive

August 4, 2021 by JR from Canada

More and more, LEO surveys have you go through the entire survey only to disqualify you for not matching the profile at the end. I've recently spent 15-25 minutes on several surveys only to be told at the end that I didn't qualify.... yet they have all the responses that they can still provide to their clients. I enjoy being able to provide my opinion but LEO continues to be deceptive on allocation of points - looks like my time can be better spent doing other things.

They do not pay

June 3, 2021 by Irina from Canada

I enjoyed their surveys, they are interesting and rewarding. The website is simple and appealing. But when it came to cashout, all my enjoyment disappeared. They "processed" my request but never paid me and now just do not respond any e-mails/support tickets. I have over 80000 points there still not including the ones that I never was paid, but I do not know if I can ever get my money. They just do not respond.

Getting up there in my book!

April 15, 2021 by Donna from Canada

After my 1st incident and waiting almost a year when they were legerweb once they changed over to Leo wow I think I've cashed out 3 times never an issue with surveys always strait forward. I never get screened out on this site (knock knock) it been great since Leo. They good in my rating the support is great, must be I never have to use it!

Don't Waste your time

February 11, 2021 by Bo from Canada

Ever since the pandemic started, they claim they need more time to process payment. I'm still waiting for $20 payout to clear since the last three weeks! Looks like they don't want to pay you on time anymore. Do not waste your time to complete survey while wait on payout! They urge you to complete survey everyday but making you wait on the last payout, which is ridiculous! I wouldn't suggest you to join in this survey website anymore! If you want to waste your time on this really please!
