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+

Legit but horrible customer service.

Often when I email them, I have to repeat the issue several times to make sure they understand it. When they phone me, they keep cutting me off, then it's my fault I got upset. Tried to speak to a supervisor who only made excuses for bad behaviour.

Because it's always the customer's fault and the customer is always wrong...

They really need to work on their customer service. That is to say, their customer service sucks.

This is an excellent site to do surveys. They have many surveys you can do and they pay you if you want once you have $1.00 in your account which is great! Of course you could wait till you accumulate more dollars before redeeming for a check!!!

I have had Survey Savvy/Savvy Connect since about October 2016. It takes a very long time after a full month is completed to see your money in your account. I finally was able to redeem my first payout in December 2016. I received $4 for four surveys and $10 for having Savvy Connect on two devices. I received a check after about two weeks. Surveys aren't very often and I don't always qualify. And I have often received annoying popups questioning my SurveySavvy connection. To me it is slow paying and not a high payout, but I will stick with it for now for the extra money.

I also have been participating in their "junk mail" project which promises $10 for each completed month. When I didn't receive any compensation I inquired and was told that I had to be participating in the email portion of the study also in order to be paid. You can imagine my frustration after participating for 4 months and being told that there was no way I could be compensated for the prior 4 months. . So I checked out the email portion instructions and they assured me, but could not show me, that it is only your spam folder that gets forwarded to them. I was told that "that's just the way the program works and if I had privacy concerns, that I could opt out". The way I see it, the instructions have you forward ALL of your email to them. Again, they could not explain to me how it works, just told me that it works that way. I don't trust these people as far as I can throw them. I think they will do anything they can to get you to participate in their projects and find the sneakiest way they can to keep from paying you! As far as surveys go, you are lucky if you qualify for one every couple of months! I would strongly recommend not wasting your time or energy with this outfit unless you happen to enjoy being taken advantage of! :o(

While I have had success in getting paid for several small surveys, as well as receiving 2 free cans of coffee to test market, and getting paid for the project, I still haven't actually received my checks. Also, I have been working on a Direct Mail project with this site, and was promised $10 per every 4 weeks of mail that I return to them. I am currently working on week 11, and have yet to get paid. They are claiming that I need to participate in their email forwarding program, as well, but I am arguing that, nowhere in the letters received with each bundle of return envelopes, does it say that you need to forward emails, as well, to get paid. This is my means of making extra money, and I feel as if I am being cheated. I am waiting on a response to my last email, but it takes several days for them to respond.
