My SurveySavvy Review
SurveySavvy is a very reputable market research paid survey company, and also is the very first online paid survey site I joined, so I have been a SurveySavvy member for about 5 years now. They send surveys regularly. At the beginning, most of the surveys I received are IT related. but starting about two years ago (2007) I also get more general surveys in a variety of topics as well. IT related surveys seem have higher payout, but general surveys usually pay quite well too. I also have done high paying phone interview and focus groups for Survey Savvy. I receive about 2-3 surveys every month, and qualify about half of them. I have made close to $400 dollar since joining SurveySavvy panel.
SurveySavvy pay cash via check, you need to request payment yourself, and there is no minimum requirement to request payout and I suggest you cash out as soon/often as possible (according to SurveySavvy’s Terms and Conditions, you might get charged “Service Charge” if you are inactive for 12 months) I generally receive my survey payment check in about 5 – 8 weeks afer requesting payment.
It is my experience/observation over the years that Surveysavvy offers panel members decent and better cash compensation per survey compare to other survey panels including those “top” survey panels on my list. Following is a check (image, click to enlarge) I recently received from SurveySavvy.
SurveySavvy has a good two-tier referral program. You get incentives when the friends and family you have referred complete surveys, and you also get incentives when referrals of the friends and family you have referred complete surveys.
SurveySavvy also has good panel support – I have emailed their support a couple of times, and received response within 2 – 3 business days.
Conclusion
SurveySavvy is a reputable and great market research survey company and I highly recommend them!

The digital tracking refers to install installing SavvyConnect to your qualified devices.
Received an email from SurveySavvy today:

Notice the deadline to install SurveySavvy Connect is Feb.9. I wonder why they sent out the email two days later?
how it work????
Hi! Welcome to mysurvey123.com! Here is how it works:
First you signed up/join the SurveySavvy Panel (they accept members worldwide) and fill out your profile. When they have paid surveys they will email you and invite you to take the surveys. If you qualify and complete the survey, you earn the money they promise in the invite email and you can log into your account and request payment as long as you earn at least $1. You can also log into your account to check available surveys for you. Hope it helps, and good luck!
SurveySavvy currently has two good/high paying surveys:
Study 166752 – Estimated length of survey: 18 minutes, Incentive: $13
Study L6049 – Estimated length of survey: 30 minutes Incentive: $10
If you don’t receive email invite, check out your account “center” for available surveys/projects.
Just want to update on SurveySavvy payment – it took about 3-4 weeks to receive my last check. It’s getting better. Also I tried a $20 survey today, but didn’t qualify though.
Received three surveys from SurveySavvy this week! $10, $7 and $4 surveys!
I registered a long time ago (maybe like 3 years ago) and I have never received a single survey from them.
Three years!? Not even one survey invite? That’s is very unusual. I wonder maybe the email went to junk folder? Can you log into your account – now you can see your available surveys from your “account center”. I also suggest you contact SurveySavvy support, there might be something going on with your account. Good luck!
Soly, just wondering if you have contacted SurveySavvy yet? I am thinking maybe you signed up the wrong panel? Just guessing. Anyway, good luck.

The surveys, when they do come are great and quick, but the referral program helps a lot and it is mutually beneficial.
My last payment check from SurveySavvy also took 3 months. Glad to know I am not the only one,lol.
I agree with a few other people here in that surveysavvy is an okay survey site, but is poorly operated.
I get maybe a couple surveys a week but only qualify for maybe 3 a month.
Cashed out at $10 and waited 12 weeks for a check. contacted them and got a response a couple days later saying a check would be sent out.
One week after I contacted them I got a hand addressed envelope in the mail with an apology for the delay in payments this year.
I just cashed out another $12 check this time we will see what happens.
so.. when are u supposed to get the surveys? i havent recieved any… seems like a waste of time… try inboxdollars.com u get paid to read emails
You get surveys rarely and the rewards are credited onto your account in 6 weeks, then you have to wait for another 10 weeks after you request a cashout. I’ve been waiting for a $6 check for 15 weeks now. When you contact them all you hear is nonsense excuses, they think that the people are fool. It is not a money problem, it is a matter of honesty and principles. NEVER GET INVOLVED with those SCAMMERS!!!
While I think it is a legitimate survey site, I think it is poorly run. You really cannot track what surveys they credit you for because it just the number of surveys and a dollar amount. Such as you completed 10 surveys for $8.00. There is no way to track it back to any log you may keep of surveys completed. They also seem to take forever to credit you for a survey. The one good/bad thing is I don’t qualify for many surveys but they disqualify you fairly quickly so you don’t waste a lot of time.
Update – I still receive 1-3 surveys a month and qualify for 1 survey every other month. Still no phone interviews and product tests. I still don’t do the referral program. I have made less than $27 in 2 years. I haven’t had any problems with them. I just cashed out and then I will close my account, not worth my time.
I havent received any survey from them till now inspite of updating my profile.

AO, when did you take the surveys? You might need to give them a little more time to credit your surveys. If you don’t see credits 4 weeks after you took the surveys, contact their support.
Make sure always save survey email invites from any survey companies if you qualify and complete the surveys.
If you want to get paid, you need to request a payment at the member page. SurveySavvy do NOT send out payment automatically.
Surveysavvy is a good paid survey site. Good luck!
I just singed up recently, but i have already done 2 surveys and sent out 11 referrals, but when i nothing was in my account = 0
I’ve been a member of SS for 3 months and have made $2. I keep updating my profile regularly but I just don’t get many surveys. One good thing, as earlier post mentioned, is the no minimum payout. I’ve received 2 checks for $1. I’m still hopeful because I’ve heard good things.
Hi Barbara,
Survey Savvy does not give points/rewards for the “Profile Surveys”, those surveys are designed to get more information from members so they can send more targeted surveys to members. Most survey sites don’t give any rewards for profile surveys as well.
You can read my post at the message board thread called “Paid Survey Tips”, where Tip #4 I discussed about those profile surveys.
If you have successfully qualified and completed a survey, it might take a while to have the credits posted. If you don’t see money in your account after a few weeks, I would suggest you email them, their customer service is pretty good (I have contacted them before.)
I haven’t receiving many surveys as I used to, but maybe because I haven’t fill out their profile surveys yet.. I know those surveys are pretty long.
Anyway, Barbara, Survey Savvy is not a scam, they are a reputable market research company and they will not share your personal information with anyone.
I have spent more time and energy supposedly pre-qualifying to eventually qualify at this site than any other and have accumulated 0. I firmly believe this site just collects info for their own benefit to sell under the guise of potential survey qualification. To date I have taken all their static surveys and three others that were sent to me and have an account balance of 0. Looking at previous posts, it seems the way to ‘make money’ with them is to refer. They are using your personal info in what way?? Actually qualifying for some elusive survey or just mining for data to sell?? Since other sites have actually rewarded points (money) and this one hasn’t, considering all the time I have put into it, I’ll concentrate on the ones that compensate for my time and info.
I received my first survey today. It said it paid $1 for a 10 minute survey. Not much, but I decided to participate anyway. Wow was that the longest 10 minutes that I ever spent. I didn’t time the survey but I would have to say that it took from 20 to 25 minutes of my time. I was not happy with the time vs pay. I hope that I have a better experience with them in the future. I’ll post my later results.
Can someone give feedback on what the likelihood is of completion of a survey (and therefore getting paid for it) ?!?
I find survey sites that require you complete the survey to get any cash/credit to be the biggest scams because you’ll find it difficult if not impossible to legitimately ‘complete’ a survey according to them
Hi Jaime,
Yes, SurveySavvy has a great referral program! Also they have more high paying surveys, I received three $25/$35 surveys just this month! Oh one more thing is you can cash out no matter how much you have in your account (even you only have $1.00!), not like some other sites you have to wait to reach minimum!
aha, now I see why you like it:
“Completing surveys is rewarding, but the most effective way to earn money is through our patented referral system (Patent No. 7194448 & Patent No. 6446044). We pay SurveySavvy.com members an average of $2 for every survey a SurveySavvy.com member’s referral completes and an average of $1 for every survey their referrals’ complete.”
