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 have cashed out with them 3 times first time was May 18. Have not received a single check. Emailed them twice they did respond. Still no check. I have stopped doing surveys for them till I find out if they ever pay.

I've used SurveySavvy for a few years now, and I used to be pretty satisfied with them, however, the last surveys I took I wasn't credited for. I was thinking about giving SurveySavvy another shot, but after reading the previous post about a panelist getting a check from SurveySavvy that ended up bouncing, I think I'll reconsider. I have the feeling that the quality of this company is going down (that happens to so many of these survey companies after using them over the years). One thing that I really liked about this company was the no minimum requirement to cash out.

I have been waiting for a check for 8 weeks- look, I will not slam a company because the mail is slow, but I hardly receive surveys, get info pumped from me then dumped when I do get them and have not been credited.

I get hardly any surveys and then rarely qualify and it takes forever to get payment, but they do pay. I like that there is no minimum cash out.

I cashed out for $15 on 4/4/11. It said I would receive my check within 4-8 weeks. I waited until the 8th week to email them and they replied back with this "Members are currently receiving their checks within 4-12 weeks of their request. All our processes are automated internally and we make every attempt to consistently administer payments. Several factors may affect this timeline, from incomplete member information to long-running projects. Payments cannot be made until the close of the project." I think that's BS because it says on their site 4-8 weeks not 4-12. Also, I hardly ever qualify for their surveys. It took me a year to get $15 credited to my account. Sometimes when I get like a $20 survey, I would click the survey link in my email and it would redirect me to the page where it says I'm disqualified without even asking me any questions to determine if I qualify!! What's up with that? I DO NOT RECOMMEND SURVEYSAVVY TO ANYONE!
