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:

dont sign up the don't paid you

March 17, 2017 by Sarah from United States

i did a lot of surveys for this place and i sent the a message about a payment that they owned my and the survey said it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get paid so i waited and after 8 weeks i email them about my payment and they never answered and i kept sending them emails after a couple of weeks they finally answered one of my emails told it would take 6 to 8 weeks to receive money so in another email i told them once again that it had been 8 weeks and would like to get paid that i dont mind doing some surveys for free but when im told that i will be paid i would like my money. this survey was for $20.00 so thats a good amount of money. will they put me off for about a month with me emailing them here and there and then they say they can't find the survey that i did and i send the paper on the survey and after a week they say they found the survey but it going to be another 6 to 8 weeks at this time it had already been 12 weeks, so i wait 8 more weeks, email them again they never sent me email. a week later i sent them another email and then i was told in the email that they need more time will its been 21 weeks and i message them again on the other day and i wanted a phone number to talk to someone and the delete my account that day

Locked Out

January 26, 2017 by Carol from United States

Ever since they performed an update to their site this month, I have been locked out. When I try and sign in I get an error message that my "email or password i wrong" I have reset my password many times, cleared my cache, used a different browser. The emails to them are useless and "canned" They say my account is in good standing and offer no help nor do they know why I am locked out! I have $30 in there and they wont cash me out so I can close it. Frustrated because I do well here! You would think these companies would have decent IT people to give me a temporary password to get me in. Unfair and unethical.

removed

Removed with no notice and no reimbursement.... What a total waste of time.

One of the Best in my opinion

January 17, 2017 by michael from United States

They have higher rewards $$ than most sites, and relatively short surveys. They pre screen, so most of the surveys you are sent you will be able to complete. It takes a few months to reach the $50 pay out, but they are dropping the reward threshold to $25 soon. Never a hassle, and the product tests are great. I have a new water delivery item in my bathroom that may or may not be on the market that is phenomenal.. One that gave me the money to purchase the main ingredient for a dinner, the product of theirs and then a $50 reward for preparing it and consuming. I truly can not count the number of cool and useful products I have tried months ahead of others. If you are looking for a new site, give them a good look. I am probably shooting myself in the foot if to many people read and pay attention to this, but hey, share the wealth.
