REDEEMING REWARDS

10,000 points (worth $25) minimum balance required in order to request Visa pre-paid cards.

Qbord is owned and operated by PMG Intelligence, a market research company based in Waterloo, Ontario which was established back in 1993. The Qbord panel is a community of individuals looking to make a difference. You can share your opinions and potentially impact the future of business and other industries.

How it Works

The process with Qbord is simple – complete surveys, earn points for your time, then cash out your points towards different reward options.

Reward System

Earn reward points for the online surveys you complete. Once you accumulate enough points, you can use them in many different ways.

  • Visa Prepaid Cards: Use points to get Prepaid Visa cards in $25, $50 or $100 denominations.
  • Gift Cards: Redeem your points for gift cards to great places such as: Best Buy, Petro Canada, The Bay, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Netflix, Google Play, McDonald’s and many more.
  • Auctions: Use your points to bet on auction prizes - if you lose the auction, you'll still keep your points.
  • Charity Donations: Charity donations are also available. Check the website for the latest featured non-profit organization. Each time a panelist donates to a charity then Qbord donates an extra $10 to the same charity on your behalf.
  • Sweepstakes: Use your points to enter into a chance to win prizes or cash.

Focus Group Opportunities

Qbord advertises to their Canadian members the opportunity to participate in paid focus groups where, if selected, a minimum of $75 will be awarded.

Win a Contest!

Qbord offers contests to their panelists for doing various tasks. If you recruit a friend, fill out a poll or interact on social media you could earn yourself an entry into a sweepstakes with winnings that could come in the form of free cash or merchandise.

Don't hold your Breath

March 20, 2022 by Patricia from Canada

Not worthy of a star. Requested a dining card Nov. 30 and am still waiting on March 17th. Several emails unanswered. I sent them one this morning telling them if I did not hear back from them by next week I would file a complaint with the bbb. I'm sure that won't fizz them though since I see complaints against them already on the bbb site.

Gift card wasn't delivered

I redeemed points for a $25 gift card on Nov. 30, 2021 but haven't received it yet. I've sent three emails and reached out to their FB page but no response.

Not good anymore

January 26, 2022 by Crystal from Canada

I would of given a better review but I have been with this survey company way before they changed their name to Qboard. I have been having nothing but issues getting my rewards from them. You email them no one responds anymore. If you're going to spend your time doing surveys I recommend a different survey company. I have been waiting over two months for my rewards I redeemed for and the site says it should off been delivered in December. Its sad that they dont even care enough to email you back.

DON'T EVEN BOTHER

December 13, 2021 by Barbara from Canada

On april second i ordered a 25 dollar amazon gift certificate for points...got email saying it would be dropped in my email on may 15. I still have not received it after 20 messages to their support centre via email, contact us page on their website, facebook page and facebook messenger. NOTHING...totally ignored. Then they have the colossal unmitigated gall to send me another invitation to a survey? PISSED. Still waiting for my November 15th reward.

No reward, no reply

November 16, 2021 by Nora from Canada

I was due a $10 Amazon payment on October 15th. I have emailed them 4 times since then, with not one reply. Really awful customer service! This is the first time I've had any problems with them, and I've been with Qbord for about 10 years. It makes me wonder if the company has changed hands. In any case, to refuse to answer 4 emails is unconscionable.
