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

worst ever

May 9, 2020 by chi from United States

took a year to get a reward, then after 9 emails still no reward. keeps giving me a run around. don't bother

A changed site

May 4, 2020 by Ed from United States

I've had this site for about 5 years or so. In the beginning it was a site that I truly liked and took surveys on it everyday or whenever I could. Then it tailed off and almost shut down for me. I was stuck on less than a thousand points for a long time.It has a new name now called MARU and it completely has turned around for the better. Surveys are coming in my e-mail more than ever and I qualify for 95% of them. With those two factors in my favor this site is now one of the best I'm on. A complete turn around for the better in a drastic way. I highly recommend them

Getting rewards takes too long.

March 26, 2020 by Mary from United States

It seems to take "forever" to earn points. I have been on this site for a year and 1/2. I appreciate getting surveys that are relevant to me, but it takes so long. Otherwise, the surveys are interesting and fun.

Takes a entire year to cash out

December 10, 2019 by Kara from United States

Barely any surveys. Did a survey back in end feb and still havent got paid for it. you have to get to 50 bucks which takes a great deal of time. Takes about a year to reach cash out but its worth it to have 50 to spend.. survey format is fun but surveys are kinda scarce and dont qualify for many.

Slow

April 15, 2019 by Matthew from United States

I have been a member now for 11 months I have only accumulated 30 dollars in that time. Cashout is 50. I receive about one survey every 2 weeks. Quality for half. It is painfully slow process. Will take well over a year to cashout. My advice many better survey companies out there
