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

leo surveys reward options

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. New surveys are typically available every week, but you'll only see the ones that fit your profile. For each survey you'll complete, you'll get points and Chances to bet on LEO's weekly and monthly contests. Note that you will need to complete at least 3 surveys a year to remain an active member.

Many surveys are also geared towards Francophone Canadians, and are offered in French

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!

Points

March 7, 2023 by Ryan from Canada

0 stars for LEO.
I have been doing surveys for a long time. But they are so disappointing now.
They have not deposited 20000 points that I have earned by doing a lengthy focused group survey!
They show the record on the “History” page as if it has been given to fool me. But my total points did not go up by 20000 points and they did not give the points that I earned so far. I keep messaging them, but they are resisting and do not care about the loyal long-term client base- I stopped doing their surveys since this fraud.

They will try their best to avoid giving large amounts of points even if we’ve spent our time and shared the true information. If a company cannot correct the mistakes and do the just, there is no trust left from any aspect!!

Thank you LEO for wasting my time

March 1, 2022 by John from United States

When I redeem points, Support leo says need claim via phone and gift card reward never came to me.

It's funny my first registration at LEO and terms of use didn't need a phone number for verification.

Please don't join at LEO because they don't pay you and they waste your time.

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.

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.

Stay Away

October 24, 2020 by Caleb from Canada

Has not received the $20 paypal rewards after more than a month from the date of cash out request.
The site indicates my cash out as have been "processed." Have been sending them inquiries about the reward and they are not responsive. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND STAY AWAY!
