I have been a member of SurveySavvy since June 2001 and for the first few months I rec'd several survey invites and cashed out/was paid promptly $29. For the last 3 1/2 years I have rec'd very few invites, none for cash incentives and definitely none in the $10-$75 range.

My question is, I have never made any refferals to their site, until recently I have not known anyone else that wanted to take online surveys, could this be the reason for the lack of invites ? No refferals ? Just curious why so good to start and now nothing. Thanks for any enlightenment.

Hi DesertRat,

There's a lot of factors. They really are very picky in their invites, and I hear that IT professionals get the most from them. My original profile with them was an IT profile and still only received four(4) invites (over a year) of which I qualified for one(1).

I have since changed my profile -as a test- to match my wife's profile of a homemaker, and we have not since received any invites at all. So, they are very picky. But, I don't think it has to do with referrals.

However, the referrals do pay off eventually. I have over 4,500 referrals to surveysavvy, and I make a decent monthly residual from it because some people do occasionally qualify and then I get $2 for each direct referral survey and $1 for each of their referrals surveys.

I was beginning to think that Survey Savvy had forgot about me. but i guess you have all had a similar experience. I wasn't as smart as you guys though as i don't have many referrals.

Yeah, it was my hard work over the past years and a half or so. :)

In total, I've got about 25,000 referrals to various paid surveys programs! It's crazy to think of how many people that really is.

I can relate to this BK1...I have been a member since 2/21/04 I have only been paid once ($2) and that was for referrals!!! I may have rec'd one or two actual surveys from the site and don't remember qualifying for them.

Rockin 7E,

I'm surprised you made so little with SurveySavvy. I think i have only completed two or three surveys for them, but i believe that my payout was around $30.00 (yes they pay). Did you complete all of their profiles? that helps a lot, from what I have heard. Anyways, for all of my complaining, i have still made more with SurveySavvy than most other sites. and with a low amount of effort on my part. I guess that's why they are so highly regarded.

Hey BK1,
Yes all my info. and profiles are up to date...Yeah...I know they pay as they did send me my $2 for my referrals...Suppose I am just not what they are lookin for...That's OK as I am still makin$$$$ with my other survey sites. Actually I am stayin rather busy...testing products and doing interactive surveys for $25 a piece.... Did ya read my post where I won $100 at IPSOS??? 2nd time in 6 months I have hit for $100 at their site!!!

Hey BK1
Rec'd a survey invite from SS early this morning...Payout was $2....However, I did not qualify.....I think I am just spinnin my wheels here with this site as well....

im not sure what is going on over there. when i first signed uo i would qualify for every survey sent to me. they sent me very few, but it seemed like they only sent me ones they were quite sure i would qualify for. then for a while i heard nothing from them. and now just recently i have gotten two invites that i have not qualified for. it seems that they are going through some sort of site renovation and are maybe working some bugs out. stick with them, i am sure they will get back on track and hopefully you will see why they are one of the best sites around.

I just did a survey for them yesterday and it paid $40 and it's already been put in my account......When I finished the survey, there was a message saying that their redesigned site will be coming in a few weeks with new member benefits????

Have they picked up on surveys to any of you?? I haven't heard anything in quite a while, but then again, I'm one of the ones that has felt like the industry is really slowing down. Others have not noticed any slow down. So, I guess it really depends on your demographic.
