KEY FEATURES:

SurveySavvy is an online survey site where people can earn cash in exchange for completing surveys. The site is over 20 years old, and has paid out millions in dollars to its members, who are from all over the world.

Join to Take Paid Surveys

SurveySavvy is an online survey panel that offers its users the ability to participate in paid surveys for cash. Becoming a member of the site is free and only takes a minute. Anyone from around the world can join the website to earn cash rewards for every survey completion.

Rewards Offered

With SurveySavvy, you can take online surveys in exchange for cash and get paid by check - the only payment method they offer. Request a check with just $1 in earnings in your account. Note that you will be paid in US dollars, regardless of what country you reside in

Earn Cash for All Survey Completions

SurveySavvy doesn't have any confusing points systems to figure out. Every online survey is offered for a dollar amount, and once you start accruing money, you can request a check that will be mailed to you. Checks are sent to members anywhere in the world, and are issued in US dollars. The minimum payment amount you can request is just $1.

SurveySavvy does not offer PayPal as a payment option and they don't offer gift cards either. They only offer payment checks that are sent through the mail.

Complete Profilers for Better Matched Surveys

SurveySavvy's profilers are called "portraits", which are short surveys stored in your account which if completed, are designed to better match you with paid online surveys that become available. As well, members who fill in these portraits may be selected to complete studies that members who have not completed these will not be invited to.

Great Monthly Draws for When You Don't Qualify

If you attempt to complete a survey and get disqualified, you will earn an entry into the cash draw where you could be one of 50 winners who will receive $10 credited to their accounts!

Special Contests and Opportunities

On occasion, SurveySavvy offers their members the opportunity to win contests. Opportunities such as choosing which charity should receive a substantial donation, YouTube video contests for a cash prize, etc. have all been offered in the past.

SurveySavvy Referral Program

SurveySavvy offers a generous 2-tiered referral program. Not only will you earn a portion of the cash earnings for your direct referrals, but you will also earn a portion of the survey earnings from your referrals' referrals. Simply visit the 'Home' section on the website to input your referral's name and email. SurveySavvy will reach out to your referral via email and once your referral has signed up and completed a survey, you'll be credited within 4-12 weeks on your account.

Alternatively, you can simply copy your referral link from your account and share it on social media, your website, or with your friends, instead of having SurveySavvy email your contacts.

Worldwide Presence

SurveySavvy is one of the very few online survey panels that accept people from all around the world. They have members in over 195 countries and have been around since 1999.

SavvyConnect

SurveySavvy has a tool called SavvyConnect where members can participate in market research by surfing the internet. SavvyConnect aggregates data to provide analysis on internet surfing habits - this information is not sold and is used for behavioral research purposes only. Installing SavvyConnect on your computer or mobile device also enables SurveySavvy members to access additional paid research opportunities. You can get $5 per device each month plus access to special surveys and expedited payments!

Is SurveySavvy Legit?

Believe it or not, SurveySavvy has been offering paid surveys for over 20 years and as such, is completely legit and is certainly not a scam. Although members of the site may have varying degrees of success with the program, SurveySavvy is a legitimate online surveys website that is very safe to use. Bear in mind that although they offer the opportunity for anyone in the world to join their site, people in predominantly English-speaking countries (USA, Canada, UK, etc.) will receive more frequent invitations to complete surveys.

Luth Research, the company that operates the SurveySavvy panel, is a member of the BBB (the Better Business Bureau). They have maintained a solid rating on the platform for many years, providing more confidence that SurveySavvy is legitimate.

Eligibility: Residents worldwide, aged 13+

While I have had success in getting paid for several small surveys, as well as receiving 2 free cans of coffee to test market, and getting paid for the project, I still haven't actually received my checks. Also, I have been working on a Direct Mail project with this site, and was promised $10 per every 4 weeks of mail that I return to them. I am currently working on week 11, and have yet to get paid. They are claiming that I need to participate in their email forwarding program, as well, but I am arguing that, nowhere in the letters received with each bundle of return envelopes, does it say that you need to forward emails, as well, to get paid. This is my means of making extra money, and I feel as if I am being cheated. I am waiting on a response to my last email, but it takes several days for them to respond.

Don't even bother filling out these surveys. It's a joke. They get you all the way to the end, and then of course, you're disqualified. Complete waste of time. Happened more than once.

I read alot of reviews and ratings it seems everyone is having the same issue the pay out! or not getting surveys. I have been with this company for a while think over a year and it seems hard to qualify for surveys. Yes there's no minimum pay out just a $1.00 then they send it by check.

I noticed that they aren't keeping track of your surveys and it takes a while to get credit to your account. my advice please keep track of all your surveys and projects you do and if u still don't get paid delete your account. I am still waiting on a payment of 50.00 for a project I finished no one has contacted me yet.

The one positive thing about this company is that there is no minimum to cash out, and they will send you a check. They will pay you and they are legit. However, they hardly have any surveys anymore. Most of the time, they offer to send you something to connect to your computer to keep track of your internet usage and pay you on a regular basis, based on your internet usage I assume. However, I do not recommend allowing any company to track you on any computer that you keep sensitive information or use to conduct your banking or taxes. You are just asking to be hacked. I did not drop them though, because I am remaining optimistic that they will eventually have more regular surveys again in the future.

I spent a huge amount of time setting up Savvy Connect on three different devices and an additional app on my phone for a project. Everything showed as being active. After getting a notification about my tablet, which I don't use often, I emailed to make sure everything was OK. I was then told that my computer wasn't active, and I took steps to fix it, although Savvy Connect showed as active on my computer. After they confirmed that it was now active, I inquired again to make sure that everything was OK since I wasn't getting surveys. I was then told that I was disqualified from the project after spending a significant amount of my time. When I signed up, it stated that they would contact me if there were problems and I was the one contacting them to make sure everything was OK.

They pay for regular surveys, but Savvy Connect eats a huge amount of data. It also apparently stops working for no reason, and they will use this as an excuse not to pay.
