Three ways you can be paid

The survey tells you at the start which one it uses.

  • Airtime: credited to the number you answered on, straight away.
  • Mobile Money: sent to your Mobile Money number, straight away.
  • Into your SmartSurv wallet: the money adds up in your wallet and you cash it out when you like (next lesson).

Step by step

  1. Finish the survey. The thank-you message says “Your … is on its way”, or that it was added to your wallet.
  2. You get a confirmation from your network or Mobile Money provider a few seconds later.
  3. If the message says “Your reward is being checked and will be sent soon”, a person at SmartSurv looks at it first. Most checks are cleared quickly.
  4. Keep your receipt number (for example R-7KQ2M9). Anyone can check it at api.smartsurvafrica.com/verify/ followed by the receipt, for example …/verify/R-7KQ2M9.

What you will see

  • “Valid: this response is recorded and has not been changed.” for a real receipt.
  • The receipt check never shows your answers or your phone number.
