SurveySavvy: Review
Join SurveySavvy
Review
SurveySavvy is truly one of the most legit survey companies out there. They are FREE to join as every survey company you sign up with should be. They are one of my top favorites in terms of survey sites and also the very 1st survey company I have ever joined. Basically they are straight up only a survey company, which means the only thing they do is send out surveys for you to complete, you get paid for your opinion and time, and that’s that. They don’t have offers for you to complete, no sweepstakes or nothing, only paid surveys. That’s good because most people only want to take actual surveys and not be bothered by completing free offers such as what you have to do in GPT(get paid to complete offers) sites. GPT sites are another great way to make money online but some people don’t like that kind of style. For more on this topic check out my “Top GPT sites” page.
Anyways back to SurveySavvy. Some sites when they send you a survey invitation, the incentive or reward you get for completing it is almost always a sweepstakes entry or prize draw, and we don’t want that right? It’s nice to actually win if I do but I just want straight up cash for my time. This is what’s so legit about SurveySavvy. All they do is send surveys with a cash incentive ranging from $2 to $20 per survey. Another thing that’s great about them is that you will know if you are qualified to complete the entire survey from the 1st few minutes or the beginning of the survey. So if you got through the first few minutes and got through the qualifications or short questionnaire to see if your qualified to take the rest of the survey, then your all good and could expect to get the cash incentive noted in your survey invitation from them.
Things to know
When you join and become a member there is a section called My Portrait. These are your profile surveys, surveys you complete to get a better picture of you and get an idea of your demographics. You won’t get paid for competing these but they are important to do if you want to get more survey invitations sent to you specifically targeted to your profile. So the more you complete the more paid surveys you will receive. Also remember to update them when necessary so you can receive more paid surveys. Make sure to use an email address you use regularly because they send all survey invitations to you with the email you registered on SurveySavvy. One more thing is that after you complete a survey it is not instantly credited to your account. You have to wait awhile before it shows up in your earnings.
Get Paid
There is no minimum requirement for cash out. So even if you have $2 in your earnings you are able to request a check from them. You can expect to receive your check within weeks. They say you have to wait 4-6 weeks to receive your check but really you don’t. I received mine within 1-3 weeks of requesting it which surprised me. I guess it just depends where you live.

I don’t know exactly what the age limit it is to join but I would expect it to be at least 18 years and older, maybe younger. SurveySavvy sends their surveys worldwide, so if you live in any other country, you are able to join. Overall I definitely recommend SurveySavvy. Membership is free.

Review
If you use any major search engine such as Google, Yahoo, Bing or any others regularly on a daily basis, then SwagBucks can make your surfing experience more rewarding. First off SwagBucks is not a survey site. Many would consider it a freebie site. Regardless of what it is classified as, all that matters to me is that they are legit for what they do. Many would doubt that any freebie site of the matter would be to good to be true and not live up to expectations. I to was a skeptic about these kind of sites at first. I started to do a little research about it and surprisingly found many such proof that it does exist and works. I tried it myself then surely enough I was able to get some amazon gift cards for free, yes I said free. There is not much else that I can do to try and convince you that this site is for real other than you try it yourself first before concluding your thoughts that it is a joke. Without further ado, here’s what’s up with SwagBucks…
What you basically simply got to do is use their search engine like how you would do on other search engines. Their search results are powered by Google. Every now and then you will be rewarded what is called, “swagbucks”. Values of how much you receive vary from time to time. I highly recommend that you use their search engine naturally. What I mean is use it for the results and not much for expecting to earn swagbucks, because you don’t always earn swagbucks for every search you do. That is mainly the way to get your earnings. They offer many other ways to get swagbucks. You can complete free offers. You can get swagcodes. These are promotional codes that if you find them, you can redeem them for some swagbucks. They can found from Swagbuck’s blog, Twitter page, swidget, toolbar, or newsletter. Swagcodes are a fun plus to the site. They offer a couple other great ways to get more swagbucks.
Get Paid or Get Interesting Stuff
As you collect more and more bucks, you will eventually be able to redeem really interesting stuff. This can vary from clothing to the very popular electronics you know today such as video games, Xbox 360′s, Wii’s, PS3′s, apple iphones, Ipods, and much more. Just check out their catalog to see what interests you. I know I know you may be thinking that you’re not really interested in these kinds of stuff. Swagbucks in my opinion is more targeted to the young crowd such as kids, teens and college students. But don’t worry this site is for everyone of all ages no matter what. If you don’t like any of the prizes, they also offer amazon gift cards(amazon gift card codes) and PayPal. I actually prefer that way to redeem my swagbucks. I recommend going for the amazon gift cards because they are easier and quicker to redeem. Whether it’s an item, amazon or PayPal, they are always in stock. If you choose amazon or any of the other gift cards, your codes will be sent to your swagbuck’s account within 7-10 days of ordering it. If you choose a physical prize such as a video game, you will receive it within 2 weeks. So yeah getting a reward for searching the web pays up just nicely.
Requirements to Join
Anybody who lives within the United States, United Kingdom or Canada(except for residents of Quebec) above the age of 13 are able join and redeem prizes from Swagbucks. Membership is free.

CashCrate: Best of the best in the GPT Industry

Review
CashCrate is one of my favorite sites and is the one I have the most earnings from. It is considered to be #1 out of all the GPT sites by me and many other people. If you don’t know what a GPT site is, it is short for “get paid to complete offers”. Basically all you have to do is participate in 100% free offers, where you click and view sponsored advertisements that various companies have to offer. It is up to you whether or not you want to actually sign up for the sponsored offers, but of course if you do, it is free. If you don’t actually sign up for the offers then that’s fine to, you can just skip the pages of ads and still be credited with an incentive from CashCrate just for viewing them. In fact that’s what you want to do, the free offers and just skipping the ads, that’s what most if not all members do and it is completely fine. This is how you make easy free fast money from GPT sites. How can they afford to give us free money this way? I am of course referring to the actual advertisers who do business with CashCrate to host their ads, then we the members view them, thus we get paid for our time to do so. Think of it like commercials. We see them everyday and advertisers pay big ones just to get the word out about their product or business. So it’s all good.
One thing to note and I notice this out of many people that ask. It is required to give out some personal info. such as address, email and phone number before each and every offer that you do. I can assure you and many CashCrate users can back me up on this, that your personal information is legitimately safe and you have nothing to worry about. You will not get junk mail in your mailbox. Advertisers do however call your phone a lot and I found out the hard way, but only during the day, never during vampire hours, I mean night hours. There are ways around this though. It is up to you. I recommend you’d get a new email specifically either a Gmail or yahoo one, because you will get a lot of spam and no ones wants that right, unless it with bacon and eggs with the refreshing taste of Tropicana orange juice.
Other than completing free offers you can complete a couple daily surveys once a day. Also for offers that you complete, you can accumulate points which can be used to redeem a variety of gift cards, amazon gift certificates, apple products, digital cameras or possibly even next gen. gaming consoles. It will take a little while to be able to redeem point prizes but the prizes are just an extra feature. The main income comes from completing free offers which will ridiculously add up fast if you just put some time into it.
Get Paid
All payments are sent through in the form of a beautiful check automatically once you have accumulated a minimum amount of $20 at the end of each month. So you don’t have to request it. CashCrate does it for you. You should be able to receive your check within 2 weeks depending if you live in the United States or another country. So if you life in the US it shouldn’t take that long to get it but if you live outside of the US then the wait will be a little longer but not to long. Don’t worry though if you don’t reach the minimum payout because whatever you have less than $20 will roll over the next month.
Proof
CashCrate has an outstanding forum where members can help other members out. If you ask a question you will be guaranteed to get a response within minutes making it a very helpful and trusted forum. It even has it’s own thread section dedicated for it’s members to post proof of checks that they have received to show that they got paid and to prove that the site is fer real.
