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.

Payment and Rewards

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.

Survey Taking Experience

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.

Community Features

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 or Scam?

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+

not your ordinary survey site

December 16, 2015 by rick from United States

consistantly offers surveys which pay $7.00 and up....payment is fast...the only problem i have with survey savvy is they keep offering survey takers to download tracking programs..and although the pay is good i do not like downloading tracking programs on my pc...but survey savvy is definitely worth putting your name in their data base

Meh..

I've been back and forth with them over the years hoping they'd get better and the only thing that's improved is that savvy connect was added. I've completed them if there connect oops and was paid only for one, meanwhile they got all the data they wanted for free and told me I made a mistake. This last time was the final straw for me, I did a 10 day connect through them and true panel and on the 10th day after I emailed them to say check this thing keeps repeating what's going on, they email me to say, oh yeah, well you didn't do something right on the 3rd day you won't be paid after all, sorry but we look forward to screwing you again" or something to that effect. In all honesty the true panel kept erring, something only they could fix but it's my fault...? So, I'm officially done with them. Also be careful with their connect, of you don't uninstall the certificate they WILL still monitor you, for free.

Very Good Panel

I have been with Survey Savvy since 2006, I love this panel. The amount they award per survey is good. I have been able to cash out several times with them.
