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+

They don't notify you when you can cash out on top of it you have to wait for the check to come in the mail. While I enjoy the idea of getting $30/month it would be nice if I didn't have to wait for a check at the end of the day just to get that $30 especially if they finally and I mean finally go to the point of paying via PayPal after 15 years. On top of it they used to have it to where the mailer study would send you the envelope at the beginning of the month which was a lot better because you could send your mail as you were able to, now you have to wait till the 15th which means holding onto your junk mail until then just to be able to send it and that also leaves a lot less time to send it in before the end of the month.

This website is not very clear with how they use your information. They have projects that track your internet usage and these pay upwards of $50. However, they use a private app that installs a VPN onto your devices. Why can't the app be off of the Google Play Store or something like it? I do receive the occasional regular surveys which have paid nicely so far. To really make money, you need to do the projects that track your internet usage and history with their app. I still am curious about how my information is used and considering I asked this question May 11th of 2017 and still have received no answer, it makes me very suspicious still.

Not worth it for those who live in countries like mine, Brazil, here to exchange a check in dollars is not worth it. They could make payment available via PayPal.

I've been using this site for close to a year now. From the gate, the downsides of this site were pretty apparent. Your reward for completing surveys take awhile to get approved, there's no way to track when your rewards will get approved, and payout is only through check, which also takes any number of weeks to arrive.

But other than that, it was fine. Surveys are in a nice list so you can pick and choose what you wanna take. You also had the savvyconnect program which let you earn for tracking web activity each month. Overall, it was a nice, passive way to earn from the site.

But somehow, things have gotten even worse. In addition to the problems I listed earlier, surveys are harder to complete and survey links are often dead. And most importantly for me, savvyconnect has gotten more ambiguous. I have no clue when savvyconnect is supposed award you each month, but it doesn't seem to be rewarding at all. Apparently you have to complete a certain amount of surveys IN ADDITION TO letting them track your web activity. Now, how many surveys is that exactly, and how do you know you're in good standing? You guessed it; they don't tell you!

Overall, it's just not worth it anymore. I'll be dropping this one after my next check arrives.

This site used to offer surveys that originated from their own site. Now they take you on a long trip of trying to qualify on neighboring sites (which you hardly ever qualify) and if you finally get enough points to cash out, it may take you up to 12 weeks(!!) to actually get your money.
