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+

I might change this rating I don't know. I did just now request for a check for $3 just to see if it will come. We'll see.

I really do not like sites that don't work with Verified PayPal Accounts. This happens to be one of them. Now I can't say whether or not they are a RIP off yet, and I also don't think you are allowed to say things like that? I don't know.

I mentioned it because there are other reviews here claiming it is.

I will also mention their support team was friendly. I'm going to try them out and see how it goes and possibly update this review later.

Read all the reviews here but also make up your own mind.

Like most survey companies today, the incentives are becoming less, but overall I think SurveySavvy is very good. Yes, you do have to keep up with their SurveySavvy app (SavvyConnect) but then they are paying you to stay active and provide feedback so why wouldn't they. It only takes a few minutes a day to make sure it stays active. You also have to take surveys when you get them because there is a lot of competition and they are not open very long. I have also been able to get great projects from this company; e.g., recent video survey referred by SurveySavvy that I completed 12 video questions on Monday on my iPhone and was paid on Tuesday to PayPal and the money was in my bank by Friday -- $120. I just don't think you get better than that! Probably wont get anything similar for a while cause everyone deserves a chance. But it would be nice to get 1-2 of this projects a month to pay for my internet and cell service!

I've been a member for 5 years! In the early stages, you'd get plenty of surveys and you'd get compensated for them. I made $65 one time in 2 weeks. I stopped for a few years, and now that I'm back, the site doesn't give you compensation anymore. I took a survey for $1, but it never transferred to my account. What a waste. This site used to be awesome!

I agree with all these bad comments. I did many surveys and never did get credit for it. I did a $15 one. I email them and they said, they did not have track of it. I am done with them!

When I first joined Survey Savvy they sent surveys frequently that gave you $2-5 for at 20 to 30 minute time span and credited every time. Now when I go back to the site it's surveys that are $.50 to a $1 for 30 minutes and 9 times out of 10 I do many pages of the survey to just be disqualified. It is no longer worth my time. They are also extremely persistent about their SavvyConnect app that makes my phone's internet not work for anything but the app. (Contacted their support about it, got a classic 'we'll look into it' copy and paste answer.) The incentive for the SavvyConnect periods have also decreased significantly. It used to be $40-100 to have the app installed for a few weeks. Now it's $10-20 for a month. They offered a new thing that's $5 per device per month (up to 3 devices; computer, phone and tablet.) I'm giving it a shot, but I have to deactivate it to do anything on my phone. It doesn't slow my PC down much. I'd say if you're insanely patient, give them a shot. If not, you'll probably get frustrated.
