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.

Installing SavvyConnect on your computer or mobile device also enables SurveySavvy members to access additional paid research opportunities.

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+

Very high payout

January 16, 2015 by Anthony from United States

Survey Savvy is BY FAR the BEST survey site EVER!!! You only have to reach a $10 threshold to cash out, you can choose cash or gift cards, and you get a ton of surveys every day!

Beware of app

December 15, 2014 by Sandra from United States

I have been a member for many years and have done many surveys from them. You can cash out at anytime though it takes a long time to receive your check. My biggest complaint is that I downloaded their survey connect app to two computers my smartphone and two tablet participate in a couple research project only to have them say that the app was not active for the full 90 days to receive payment. I checked everyday to make sure my apps were running and they were. I never receive notice the apps were not running and now when it is time for payment they are not paying. This app runs down your batteries and slows down your computer. I am very disappointed they are not paying me. I have to take their word that the app is not running even though it show on their site the app is running and has been running for over 90 days.

Was good, something changed

December 11, 2014 by Robert from United States

This was a real good site. Not many surveys but they all paid at least $1 or more. Little slow for your credit to appear and it took about 4 weeks to get a check with the mim. beiing only a $1.

So why am I upset. They had this project which the board went sent me these self addressed and postage paid envelopes. I was to mail them all my junk mail. For this I would receive a credit for $10 a month. I was told but I do not remember that I also signed up for email spam which copies of my emails are sent to them for another $5 a month. I have not received any credits since Sept and when I inquired I was told my email deliveries was stopped and they were unable to contact me. Dah, i have receiving survey requests from them. To get to the point , they no longer need me.

With that altitude, who needs them. So if you are thinking of joining them, just beware. Maybe just a coincidence, when they claimed they stopped getting email from me, the AOL address book got hacked for the first time since I have been on AOL since the early 90'.

No Surveys

November 16, 2014 by Raechel from United States

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.

Excellent ! Just bought an Xbox One with money!

November 10, 2014 by Michael from United States

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.!!
