I had high hopes for this well-known Cdn organisation and especially looked forward to surveys on more meaningful topics (politics etc). My experience has been VERY poor. As noted by other reviewers, $50 threshold is too high/takes too long to reach. I got few paying survey offers although they are always looking for panelists to provide unpaid information for a draw. This is not competitive with other survey firms. Worse still when I wanted to cashout they were not offering check or PayPal but only the obscure Paylution. I am fairly certain that is a change since I started with them. I am done with them

When I initially started completing surveys with Maru Voice Canada, I remember being surprised how quickly my points added up, for the first while. Then I noticed that there was the option to fill out forms from other companies through Maru Voice Canada. So, I just thought that it's nice to have options. Then I started to notice that with these companies, the predicted time frame was off. When they claimed a survey would take 15 minutes, it would be 20 or 25. While I am honest, so read and consider my answers, I am also decisive, so seldom spend time questioning which option I should choose. But repeatedly find that the time was off. Which a drag in a variety of ways but the foremost being, that I have 15 minutes to do the survey and the points sound fair for that timeframe but then it takes much longer so I either delete and lose my points (and waste my time) or am late for what I was supposed to do. In addition, it seems like it takes much longer to accumulate points, perhaps this is my perception due to the previous mentioned concerns, but I honestly don't think so. Mostly because during Covid I have a noticeable amount of time at home so why not make use of it to fill out surveys. Lastly, the one time that I contacted them to ask a question about the wording and structure of a question that I found confusing and ambiguous, the reply was so blunt, accusatory and unprofessional AND it never answered my question. But on the positive side it was such a defensive and unprofessional reply that it made me laugh for a good minute.
I am over ½ way to getting a GC but I am increasingly thinking of cutting my losses and just deleting my account.

This seems to be a reputable panel, BUT I've completed about 80% of all the surveys sent for 4 months and am still nowhere near the lowest cash-out level of $50. It will take me well over a year to get there!

I've been with them for a while and still haven't been able to cash out. With the number of surveys sent it takes over a year to cash out. You might receive a survey every 1.5 to 2 months @ 1-2.50 a survey, it will take over a year to cash out. There are better ones out there!

I decided [belatedly] to check out the rules regarding one of the surveys that the Angus Reid Forum sent to me... did anyone realize that you are signing away your public & private rights if Angus Reid so chooses? Check out the excerpt below... this company takes NO responsibility AND they can publish your NAME, ADDRESS, VOICE, PHOTO, & COMMENTS if they want to!!!!!!!!! This is what you are signing away when you agree to one of their surveys! DON"T DO IT!!!
