Survey Taking Experience

Take Interesting Surveys

Participate in interesting surveys on topics of interest to companies, as well as media and government bodies across the United States. Bear in mind that because this panel only accepts US members, many of the surveys will be of particular interest to Americans and are occasionally political in nature.

Survey Lengths and Frequency

Survey lengths are typically between 10-20 minutes and most members are contacted anywhere between 1-4 times a month to complete a study.

Mobile Surveys

For ultimate survey taking convenience, Unlock Surveys is fully accessible from tablet and mobile devices. There's no need to download an app! The best part about this feature is the smart technology, which allows you to start a survey on your desktop and continue it on your smartphone!

Requesting Rewards

Once you accumulate 25,000 points ($25) in your account, you can request a reward. Choose from one of many gift cards, prepaid VISA card, PayPal payments, and more. Once requested, your reward should arrive via email within a week. The types of rewards you can request include:

  • PayPal payment
  • Virtual or physical Visa card
  • Amazon gift e-card
  • iTunes credits
  • Google Play credits
  • Donation to a charity
  • Your choice of an alternative $50 gift card

GC had no value

December 18, 2018 by Ana from United States

I had enough points to get a $50 gc. I choose Applebee's. When we got to the restaurant, they told us the card had no value. I wrote several times to SpAm before getting a reply that they did not issue the rewards. I contacted the incentive company, again, several times before getting an answer. They said the card had been used the day they issued it, in California (I'm in Idaho.). The e-mail with the GC number was somehow hacked before I got it. They did not offer to replace it.

Website Down & No Help

December 17, 2018 by Paul from United States

UPDATE DECEMBER 2018: Well, here we go again. Cannot login despite using all the correct information and doing all the many many many many repetitive captchas. Support (haha) nonexistent. Sent messages -- nothing. This site is increasingly useless and worthless,

Cannot log in. Credentials (login ID & password) are current and unchanged. Still can't log in. Tried to reset password, but the emailed link to do that won't work either. You click on the link in the email and it just sits there doing nothing. Tried to send a help message to support. No response. No way to know when or if they will respond. We are going in circles with this website.

Good site but takes patience

September 2, 2018 by Shole from United States

I have never had an issue with this site and they improved their rewards a while back which made it much better. They tend to not send survey invites as often but I have noticed I have been getting more lately. I do tend to find their surveys nicely constructed and not overly long. The downside is that the lowest reward denomination is $50 which takes a while to get to but very nice when you do cash out.

Takes forever

July 28, 2018 by jim from United States

You can't cash out until $50. Surveys are few and far between.
