thanks for comments and feedback
Well, what can I say? I’ve been with them for more than 6 months, received many surveys, mostly “did not qualify”, and then I did several times, I went to my account today, and it’s still $0. It doesn’t work for me…
[quote name=marie]I just don’t know about this website anymore. They seems to be legit but I do know for sure, their payment to me hasn’t arrived yet. Knowing I withdrew it last April and now it’s already August and no check came yet. I think it’s way past the 8-12 weeks that they state when I withdrew my money. Sucks because I can’t trace how much are the total since I withdrew for like 3 different times and they don’t display the summaries, of my withdrawal. Other websites only take 2-4 weeks for their payment to arrived even they said 4-8 weeks. This one here, just seems weird.[/quote]I received a check from them last year and it came in like a month or so, but I just withdrew in June of this year and I have yet to receive mine as well…
pinecone research pays by check or paypal now.

then can you tell me why ever time I fill our one of these over 50 now I am always told I do not meet the demographics and then receive a ton of junk email to a site I only use for survey savy
I just completed a phone survey – a survey about phones- took me through for 15 minutes and asked my opinion about different products- then decided that I was not qualified to answer questons…Survey Saavy has done this so many times that I cannot count- use Global Test Market or Pine Cone research if you want fair compensation for your time
If you received money from this company- congrats -you earned it!- I have found them to be dishonest.
I just took a surveysavvy survey from another survey website and after 30 minutes of questions I completed the survey only to get “sorry there was a technical error”?!? The survey also stated it would only take 10 min ..and I’m fast at taking these! Anyhow just a heads up ..I won’t waste my time with Surveysavy surveys 😉
Ooh Wanda that is a scammer using SurveySavvy’s name to scam people!! 🙁
🙁 I recieved a letter in the mail with what looked like your letterhead. SurveySAVVY. Inside this envelope was a letter with a chasiers check attatched for 1,121.00. This was for Mystery Shoppers. I was to go into a store wire some money from Western Union to another area in Canada. Put 200.00 in my pocket for pay and spend the other 50 mystery shopping at another store. The check bounced and now I am over 1,300.00 overdrafted in my account
Armedia, Surveysavvy is NOT a scam, lol
Survey Savvy IS THE BIGGEST SCAM YET THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE LISTED UNDER FRAUD!! YOU ANSWER THEIR INQUIRES WHICH TAKE AT LEAST TWENTY MIN. TO BE TOLD AS OTHERS COMMENTS LISTED ABOVE, THAT YOU DO NOT QUALIFY, YET THE INFO THEY REQUEST PERTAIN TO RESEARCH MARKETING, IF IT NOT A SCAM, PLEASE TELL ME WHY I EARNED A GREAT BIG $2.00, IN 3-4 MONTHS & WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO ASK ME RESEARCH INFO TO DETERMINE MY ELIGIBILITY OVER & OVER AGAIN. IT’S FOR SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!
After filling in a complete survey I got this message: “Based on your responses to the screener questions, you either do not match our client’s demographic criteria for this survey or the quota group you qualify for has been closed”. The first question was which country I lived in (demographic criteria) and the survey ended normal. (these are all the questions, click next to send your answers). To just find a way to let people fill in a survey without paying.

Survey Savvy is a good site. I don’t make lots of money but I’ve rec’d every penny. Here is a snapshot of my earnings:
My Surveys 30 $94.00
Miscellaneous Incentives $6.00
Lifetime Account Total $100.00
Total Payments Requested $96.00
Amount Remaining in Account $4.00
I’m making on average, $3/15 min. survey so I can’t complain making $12/hr from home. The majority of survey companies have occasional glitches where you complete a survey only to get an error message but then I was paid $15 (150 pts) for a 15 min survey once when I think it should have been $1.50.

Surveysavvy is a scam site.. so people stay away from this site and don’t waste your time partcipating in the surveys they will send.. everytime after finishing the surveys you will get message like you are not qualified.. CHEATERS…
Hi Jay, SurveySavvy is NOT a scam. They are very legit and reputable. Give them a couple of more weeks and email their support if you still don’t get credit. Their support is pretty good.
SURVEY SAVVY IS A SCAM, I FINISHED A 2 DOLLAR SURVEY ITS BEEN LIKE A MONTH STILL NO 2 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SurveySavvy is a good site. I have not earned a whole lot of points though. I just received my first gift through them. I have been turned down many times for surveys. The scam I will definitely stay away from. Thank for the info.

i sign up aw survey now i got $27 in it! i want to be active in that program but many opinion its a scam. i don’t know whom to believe.
Although I dont get many surveys, bit they seem to be on the up and up.
🙄
i think you;re guy right its not a scam and it never asked for money from us..
Hi Shirley,
Thank you for the comment and feedback! And welcome!
I agree with the above.
Surveysavvy has never asked me for any money to recieve money.
Furthermore, they are one of my favorite websites to do research
surveys with. I’ve made anywhere between $3.00-$20.00 from their surveys. But one ha to qualify for the survey. They at one time paided $50.00 for surveys.
But, that is a thing of the past.
