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've been with Survey Savvy for approx. 2 months & even installed their app to track my internet usage. So far, not even 1 Survey! They have started sending me more surveys but I haven't cashed out yet. Still pretty slow on the surveys.

So I do not work for the company, I am a normal average guy with a little more time on my hands, I can multi task. I have been a member of SurveySavvy for probably about 2 years my first year I think I made maybe $200 or so, small surveys a few which were diaries for about a month like every half hour which got me paid about $35 and i had to fight for that money, nothing that seems easy, ever is. IO did get paid, I known now to keep my devices updated make sure all of the devices I am reporting on are registering, you can check on savvyconnect website, part of the responsibility folks is in your hands not theirs. So in the last couple of months I have been getting some HIGH dollar surveys all at once, more considered "projects" which I was like hah I will never qualify OR get paid but shockingly after getting paid on my first $100 one which was several surveys over a couple of months, I got qualified for an OverThe Shoulder Drinking survey which required answering some questions over a months time on a phone app. the original payout was supposed to be $125 somehow I got paid $175, maybe they liked me? LOL. Then I did a TV diary for my daughter for two weeks again like a few mins worth of work daily another $50..plus some smaller $15 surveys and whalla I was up to $375 and cashed out. I just bought an Xbox One, with no money out of my own pocket so THANKS SurveySavvy!. But i gave this review 4.5 stars because I Was qualified for a $100 survey but the first one never arrived in my inbox I emailed to complain, Loni Lenya, works for Luth Research out of California and she said that the PM for the Project disqualified me for it because I never did the first survey I was like "WHAT??!?!?" I never got it, so always check your Spam and add [email protected] and [email protected] to your email address book. All in all very happy I have another $150 coming my way by january if all goes well.!!

I participated in the Savvy Connect program and was highly disappointed. I had three devices connected and even though they all showed the program was connected, I constantly got emails saying my devices were disabled. I sent numerous emails and made several phone calls, but no emails were ever returned and calls always went to voice mail, with no calls ever returned. Furthermore, as part of the requirements, I was expected to complete three special surveys. I was only sent one. Once again, calls and emails went unanswered. I finally was able to talk with someone (not the person who was supposed to be my contact) and was told that the reason my devices were showing they were disabled was because there were updates that needed to be applied. By this time, the end date for the program had just passed. If someone had returned just one email or phone call, this info could have been relayed weeks ago and I would have updated the app. As to the missing surveys, I was told this was a problem that many people had reported to them. So bottom line, even though the person I spoke with said I was not necessarily not going to get paid, I will be shocked if I do since in their eyes I did not fulfill the requirements. I will not participate again. It was a horrible three months. The app drained my phone battery. If I went to bed with a fully charged phone not on the charger, I would wake up with a completely dead phone. It made my laptop and ipad very slow, often freezing up. Since no one would contact me, I could receive no tech support. I feel like this was a sneaky way to get the info they wanted without ever having to pay, since they can now claim I did not fulfill the requirements. I have since heard his same complaint from others. Not worth it.

I like seeing the "Participate in a new $5 Survey" emails.. they're easy and fun. Sometimes I get rejected for one reason or another but most of the time it works out. Probably one of the best survey panels for getting regular, consistent email invites.

Prior to their savvy connect program the most I ever made was $1.00. When I installed their app, which can have it's glitches at times, I received and qualified for a lot more surveys. I received $20 already out the $40 I was owed to download the app. I'm at $74.50 after almost a year sporadically taking surveys, downloading the app, and sending out referrals.
