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.

Payment and Rewards

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.

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.

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 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+

They do pay.

June 1, 2014 by Brooks from United States

This company will mail you a check- and there's no minimum. I must get about 4 or 5 survey invitations a month from them.
Quite a few of their surveys are about tech, and they are awfully long at times for the 1 or $2 you'll get paid.
You might make $15 or $20 bucks a year. The survey field is filled with so many clown websites, that any site that actually pays you is going to at least stand out a little bit.

Not good. Survey comes like a comet

I am from India and have been a member of this site since 18 months but have got just 3 surveys.

do not trust this company

May 1, 2014 by gil from United States

i have had nothing but trouble from this survey company. have been a member for a couple of years gotten very few surveys. Just started a direct junk mail / spam study was to go on for a year and have had nothing but trouble getting paid. Was forced to download savvy connect program which track your internet usage and acts like a "tool program" that is suppose to tell you when survery's come in for you and suppose to give you access to very high paying survey's " never happens" and is required if you don't want to wait for 6-8 weeks for them to mail your payment to you. They are very slow to respond if you e-mail them a question and do not return your calls when you leave voicemails. I setup the automatic spam forwarding in January to start February that was easy. come march when i did not get paid for February i contacted survey savvy to make sure everything was working properly after 3 tries and a couple of weeks i finally received a rude reply tell me that everything was working properly and payment is on the 20th of each month for this study. well come april when i did not get paid on the 20th when i sent an inquiry i was told that they did not get any spam from g-mail in the entire month of march even through i was told in march that everything was working properly. have already called twice this month and e-mailed them 3 times and still no payment. then this morning i get a email saying that the e-mails they are getting from gmail are not the types of spam that they wanted and i have now been dropped from the study 9 months before it is to end because i questioned them as to where my payment is

excellent

Cool, I love it. I love and like everything about this site and I think it should be first.

surveys add up to good cash

March 28, 2014 by candy from United States

I like this site because there are always surveys each week and some have been like $25.00 and even more. I am always getting checks from them. A good site. Reliable.
