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 did surveys on this site about 5 years or so ago and it was a great site. Didn't get a lot of surveys but they did pay well.
Stop getting emails from them and didn't give it any thought until I ran across an offer to join back in Dec. 2011. 1st thing I got was a web site survey that took about 1/2 hour looking over and rating different pages. Incentive was to be $10 US.
Back in Jan.2012 I contacted customer service to ask about my $10 and was told it takes 4-6 weeks from close of survey. I can accept that except for two things (1)Never a confirmation on site saying I completed it,though at end of survey I was told I finished and would get incentive.(2)It's now almost Jul.2012 and I still haven't seen it.
Since then I get a survey invite or two a week from them and very rarely qualify to earn $1 or $0.50. This site a waste of time and best avoided.

I was sent an 8 dollar check that bounced. My bank charged me 4.28 as a handing fee because it bounced. Honestly I'd be afraid to cash any check they sent me now. I'm just glad they have to pay a higher fee to their bank for writing bad checks. Definitely don't recommend!

They do pay and I get a fair number of surveys from them each week, but they are VERY slow. It takes over three months to get a check, which is just ridiculous. I cashed out in early November and have yet to see my check. I emailed them about this and then they said they'd send me a new check... in three weeks. Ugh. Not impressed with them at all. They are definitely the slowest survey panel I've dealt with in terms of payment. I don't really recommend them right now because of this.

I have completed surveys and a mailings project, they do pay but it takes forever. When I contacted them by phone they say that they are small company and that is why they are so slow.

I like SurveySavvy's surveys. Sure, I don't always qualify, but when I do they are unique and interesting. I have had some higher pay product tests through them. They pay when you cash out, though because they still do checks I can see why it can take weeks to receive your payment.

I do wish I received more surveys from them and disqualified for less, but such is life in the survey world. One thing I am curious about is if the refer-a-friend thing really works. I had trouble with the link on the site working and then haven't seemed to get anything from people I referred. But, perhaps they're not qualifying for my surveys either . . .

All in all, a good quality site, but not one where you'll make lots of money quickly.
