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!

I rarely get any surveys, but make $15 a month for sending them my junk paper mail and forwarding copies of my mail to them. I have also received one special projects from them, that paid well. Taking all items into account, this is a very good site.

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 got invitation for 3 surveys in 2 weeks. Completed 2 of them, one was $1.00 the other one was $2.00. There is no indication anywhere in my account showing that I even completed any survey or made any money. Total scam. BEWARE!!!!! I contacted costumer service twice and did not hear back from them. I don't know how other users here got any money at all. It's news to me.

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.

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!

Just found this site.
I've been with SurveySavvy for about 5 years now.
Can tell that I've never had negative experience with them. Well, sometimes a survey may crash... or be not accessible...
But they resend invitations and fix issues.

What's more important for me they still keep the cash option (unlike MySurvey).

My quick opinions:
Yes, you have to take a survey to avoid its expiration (if it's particulary popular and pays well enough).
Yes, you may be screened out.
Yes, you get paid.
Yes, you get decent number of survey invitations.

No, you won't get rich with them.
No, my money never 'expired'.
No, screening part is not insanely long. If you don't qualify you know it in a couple of minutes (though I wish they ask demographic questions _after_ real screening ones).

redeemed for a $3 check which was sent within the normal 4-6 weeks for processing. after depositing said check , it bounced and they were very prompt to cover the check and the returned check fee from my bank.

However, all they did was recredit my account for the sum and i had to request payment of that amount with another 4-6 weeks processing time. It has been 7 weeks and ive yet to see the check which is costing me the opportunity cost of the returned check fee that was looted from my account because their check went bouncy bouncy

Joined in Feb '11, 2 months later I've had 2 or 3 surveys and didn't qualify for any. Is this site for real?

Good reviews, bad reviews, recommended yes, recommended no! Most of the yes recommendations are from 2009 but there are some more recent ones too. Since nobody's said anything for a while I will :-P I've had jack from these dudes but I'll be patient for a little while longer. They said their "working on matters to get more surveys"! Working on "matters" - What "matters" is "surveys" when you're running a "survey company"... if only they could figure that out!!

I have done pretty good with surveysavvy for a couple of years now. Normally at least once or twice a week I get a 15-20 dollar survey and qualify for quite a few. While they are not as good as Opinion Outpost or as steady I have collected some money from them. To this day I have completed 37 surveys for 111, ,miscellaneous for 34 for a grand total of 145.

I am spending two to five minutes and a couple of times up to 10 minutes answering pre-screen questions. Out of 25 offers, I got turned down 24 times. I understand that I will not qualify for every offer, however I would be much more motivated to participate if I received partial credit.
If they ask me the basics, age, sex, location and maybe 2 or 3 short general questions before I get turned down, I find that acceptable.
If they ask me about age, sex, location, occupation and 2 questions with each question containing 15 multiple choice answers, that is NOT acceptable. Waste of time and the company just collected data for free and I get nothing.
The same goes for referrals. I am working for them and not getting anything for sending someone (who may or may not qualify) to knock on their door.

I consider surveysavvy to be good. You can get more surveys than only several per month by completing your profile. And not as others, I can finish and get paid for

I have been with this site about 6 months or so, and their fair, but definetally not the best. I have qualified for a few surveys, but have not been credited for all of them yet. To date:

My surveys: 1 = $1.00

Referral's Surveys: 0 = $0.00

Their Referral's Surveys: 0 = $0.00

Miscellaneous = $2.00

Total Earned: $3.00

Total Requested: $3.00

Total Remaining in Account: $0.00

Not exactly what I'd call steady income of any kind, but if you are not in a hurry they just may be the thing for you. I'm hoping they get better over time, so I'll stick with them. I mean come on, I'm not going to pass up an opportunity for some money.

I finally quit this loser of a panel after spending almost an hour on a special survey and never getting any credit for it or any admission from them that I'd even completed it. I cashed out what I had with them and bolted. Not worth your time wondering if you'll get credit for it. No response from customer support at all.

Totally a waste of time. If you've got time to do surveys, choose a better company. This site is a great way to find worthwhile companies.

I have started getting more surveys from them but rarely qualify. Don't expect to make a lot very fast.

I have been a member for several years now, when I first started I did get a few surveys but now I will go months and never get a thing from them, and what I do get, I am rarely qualified for.

I have been a member of this site for nearly a year. I get about one survey invitation a month, if that, and I have NEVER qualified for a single survey and neither has anyone I've recruited to the site. For this reason, it is impossible to make any money at all from this site. Every survey consists of answering questions for about ten minutes or more, then getting a message that I've been disqualified.

I have been with Survey Savvy for 1 1/2 years and have only qualified for 5 surveys, total $8.00.
Surveys are infrequent, compensation measly. I just took 1 today that I was at 42% complete and was bumped. That is almost half and a waste of my time. I am going to unsubscribe after I cash out.

I have been with this company for years..they always pay. I am not saying you will retire from doing these but out of all the companies I have found over the years...they have been one of the best.
As you will see from my member overview...the 176 surveys completed have averaged a payout of $12.73. That is pretty decent. (Please note these are stats from a 7 year membership so average yearly pay is around 400 bucks.)Also note that it seems like their technology and IT surveys pay the best....the consumer ones not so great but comparable to other consumer survey sites.

Last month I finaly got my 2nd cheque from this company after being with them for about 1 year.
I get very few surveys, 2 were for $0.50, 1 for $1 and about 2 for $3.
I've earned $9.00 sofar, and $0.50 just last week.
I believe you need $1.00 min. to request a cheque.
It does take some weeks for a survey to end, for you to get credited and for the cheque to arrive.

I probably get 1 invite every 2 weeks, and, I don't qualify very often. The incentives are decent, and they pay OK. Just don't expect too much....

i think the site is quit good they seem to be paying good and most of all they are paying on time.

Just not worth your time for the few surveys you get, if any. Not recommended.

Not many surveys as the top sites, but they are honest and they pay on time. Did a one hour $20 interactive session with them, and have completed several surveys. Surveys pay good

have not recieved any surveys as of yet been with survey savve for about 3 weeks. how can you get incntives or rewards if you are not sent surveys

Took 3 months to get a check but if you can wait it's worth it. I stoped doing surveys then out of no where I got my check.

I really like surveysavvy because they don't have a minimum cashout threshod, and they do send you a check in the mail. I cashed out for $8.00, and I received the check in the mail less than two weeks! I don't know of many other survey sites that are that quick with their incentives! I wish they will send more surveys, though.

it's hard to receive a lot of surveys to qualify from (in my experience). I have liked that the few surveys I get will lead to potential admission to focus groups. It is still kind of unfortunate though that they seem like a great company but just I can never qualify for their surveys

They do pay and you can cash out at ANY amount which isn't bad. I wish I they sent more surveys. I guess the best way to make money is by referring your friends.

But then again...after you invite like 3932 friends and only maybe 12 of them sign up.... Then what? LOL

I've only made $1 myself but my referrals and their referrals have gotten me $17. This site is better if you have a lot of referrals to make you money!

I like SS for many reasons:
they pay in a timely fashion,
pay-outs are in cash,
send frequent survey offer (~3-5/wk)
The things I don't like is trying to qualify for a survey. I have made only $ 45 over the past 3-4 yrs. Not good @ all for a survey company, IMO. Also-they don't keep track of which surveys you've earned points for. You simply have to keep tally yourself or wait & see if they credit you.

i have been with them ages and ive recieved about 2 surveys and have earned nothing

I can't believe they kept sending me surveys for 50 cents. I told them please delete my name from your database. What a complete waste of time at least for me.

I completed a $10.00 dollar survey that took me 54 minutes to complete and they said I will not get paid for completing the survey.
I stronly reccomend you not to join survey savvy, bad place.

I've received several email invites from SurveySavvy but the links are all OTX surveys which I've found to be long and detailed only to become "disqualified" after 30 or 40 minutes of my time.

Do they send "real" surveys from other research companies besides OTX???

Recieve very few surveys and have not always received the compensation offered.

And Yes,.I recieved my checks!

I had signed up to Survey Savvy now going on to about a year and have never recieved a survey from them ... SO ... NO ..... I would not recommend them.

well joind this site beginning of april and have never had any surveys from them at all so cant recommend them myself

I get maybe one every few weeks and they pay garbage!

I've been a member of Surveysavvy for over 5 years now and I was lucky enough to be invited to sign up for one of their IT Solution Optimizer survey panels. All I do is report some data on my company's IT based projects and for eery project I fill out and complete in total, they award me about $50 per project. I have 7 projects active now so that'll be another $350 in my coffers when I'm done. The other surveys they send me range from $10 - $75 and they consistently send me surveys (maybe because I've been a member so long). I'm very happy with Surveysavvy.com

I appreciate that many people like this site but I joined 6 months ago, filled out all the profiles and have never received a survey invite.

I really like this company.I just wish they would send me more surveys.The incentives are good.

Legit company! I just wish I would get more surveys. They always pay!

I get most of my money through my referrals.

The only bad thing is, I don't get enough surveys, but when I do, they are worth the time, and I qualify for a good % of them.

post your referral link in as many places as you can.

of course, if you post it on this forum, it will get deleted, so don't do it here.

there is some info on better gpts, also surveys and secret shopping on my myspace
