Whether it is legit in the sense of trustworthy depends on what you expect from it: it works as described, but its own help page says it is currently available only in the United States, so readers elsewhere will not be able to use it the way its ads suggest.
This page explains what Survey Spin is, how members earn and cash out, and where it is available, based on the company's own pages. It then looks at PocketsFull as another option for surveys and offers.
What Survey Spin is
Survey Spin is a free rewards app and website from SocialLoop where members build a US-dollar balance by taking surveys and doing other small tasks, then cash it out to PayPal, a bank account, a virtual Visa card or gift cards.
It is run by SocialLoop, LLC, whose terms of service also cover the company's other apps, Eureka Surveys, Survey Pop and Cash Arcade.
The brand's own help page says Survey Spin is currently only available in the United States. Its terms describe a list of supported countries chosen by the company, and members must live in and use the service from the supported country tied to their account, but no list of countries other than the United States is published. If you are reading this outside the United States, the brand states it is US-only rather than open to everyone.

Can I cash out Survey Spin to a bank account?
