Been a member for years and finally got enough to cash out only to find that they don't offer any way to cash out for their Australian members and don't provide an answer other than they don't at this time when asked why theyve wasted my time and effort

Decent email program BUT
I've used this site for several years but recently ran into some issues and it's always the same lady that tends to the emails or calls. The vibe I get from her is abrupt and slightly annoyed. She made me feel less than during a support call. Seriously considering discontinuing my account because of the unpleasant experience.

Going downhill
Finally got my check that i requested on dec 13th. they used to pay $5 per device, now they only pay $3 - it takes months months for completed surveys to credit and then months to get paid. seriously not worth the hassle anymore. i expect they will close up shop and leave people hanging for all the money they are owed.

I'd give it one star, but...
I'd give it one star, but back in the day SurveySavvy was quite good, but times have changed... I still appreciate it because it allowed me to have some extra spare change which was pretty nice to have, it takes a long time to do these survey's, but if you do them while watching the news or whatever then that's fine. I have been using SurveySavvy for 6-7 years I believe?
I feel like the biggest issue facing SurveySavvy is using an out-dated system of mail-in checks, I bet they cost a fortune to keep up. I requested roughly 50-60 requests for payment, I'd pretty much request it every time I hit $5-20. Let me tell you this, either it's fast like within 1-2 weeks or very slow up to 8 months, heck even 20 months and counting! I had many email exchanges with them, mostly friendly, but still there was no change or in any way that they could help with my distress.
I believe I have so far I have not gotten 10 checks and I'm still waiting for them plus one of those checks is very big, $250, I requested it on March and I'm starting to feel anxious. It was really dumb of me to wait this long, but it just kept on rising, I was careful and only requested tiny amounts and it just pilled up. I really hope that i get it.
But I would honestly not recommend surveysavvy for the average guy who likes to do survey's and wants to know that he will be paid on time or paid at all. It's not because it's not reputable, but rather that it lives in the stone ages, I'm quite old myself, but honestly, who even uses checks these days? Wal-mart didn't even accept it, and I had to make an account with a different bank to even cash it out in the first place, it really is annoying.
And if you do not live in the states, I believe very very few banks in your country would cash such a check for you, remember that they have to mail the check back and that costs money, so expect that even if they cash it out for you, it will probably not be worth it by that time.

Impossible to Qualify
Its hard to rate a site where you rarely qualify for a survey. I managed to get $10-17 in one year opposed to 5X that from other sites!
