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

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.

Americans, don't bother les than $10 a year

January 5, 2020 by kris from United States

Very low yield, I tried over 18 months (signed up as leger) trying to get to the payout threshold and it was very, very difficult. I checked nearly every day for new survey opportunities. Not worth your time.

The Dead Sea

February 7, 2014 by Bruce from United States

I have been with them for about eight months and have only taken two surveys, offered four despite checking in two or three times a week for months. I rarely even bother anymore. My primary panels offer three or more a day. They pay well but the surveys are few and far between.

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!

Don't waste your time with them

May 1, 2018 by Tatiana from Canada

spent over an hour doing an online focus group. I never got paid. I had to email them multiple times. It has now been 5 months since the study. They finally got back to me and told me that I did not complete at least 67% of the discussion so I cannot be compensated.

I spent an hour watching videos and answering questions. their platform was not working properly and kept freezing and then sometimes when it was time to answer questions and I was typing up my answer it would skip to the next question.

I explained this to them and I actually mentioned this in the feedback upon completion of the study as well.

so their response to me was this "Unfortunately, if you had issues staying connected to the discussion and missed some questions because you lacked time, this is why your file is marked as ''incomplete''.

There is unfortunately nothing else we can do. We are very sorry for the inconvenience."

WOW so after spending the whole time doing the study and since their platform was having issues they decide to not pay the panelist.

I would advise against doing any studies with legerweb.

For months they gave me the run around, kept telling me that the study takes time to receive payment and If I never kept following up I would never know that they did not sen me payment. I wouldn't be surprised if other did not receive compensation and simply forgot after all the time that has passed.

Horrible

May 29, 2017 by Adam from Canada

They'll get you thinking you'll save enough to cash out but you won't be able to after a while. Waste of time.
