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

no good.they terminated my account same way said I was doing fraudulent stuff also got me for 37 and some change I've doing their surveys for years then all of a sudden i'm fraudulent .wow they don't give lots of survey 1 and they give you samplicio survey screener crap when they have surveys.i asked them what/when I did wrong they can't tell you? they just say they monitor and saw you did something B.S they can't show nada because you didn't do nada. also there surveys are full of cookies when I do their survey sometimes I have to allow my location? what's that all about. I usually don't complain but I come here from time to time and see these reviews and how quick springboard replies to somebody here .but on there site it takes them forever to tell you anything??

Great Site - Slow Payout

July 17, 2016 by Chris from United States

I usually get around 5-6 new surveys a week, and I typically qualify for 3-4 of them. It will take a little while to accumulate the $50 necessary to cash out, but it takes even longer to actually receive the money. But overall, it's a good, clean, simple site that will allow you to make a little extra somethin'.

thumbs down to this survey site

June 14, 2016 by stephanie from United States

HORRIBLE! I am waiting over 8 weeks for my gift card..I keep getting responses to my emails that they are sorry for the delay but I will get my gift card soon....cancelling my membership with this one after I get the gift card!!

Do a Zillion Surveys Then Wait Forever for Payout

June 13, 2016 by Val from United States

If you having nothing but free-time, and a lot of patience, Springboard America is ok, but revoltingly slow to payout. After you do a couple months worth of surveys, you accumulate $50 in credit. If you redeem for a Amazon.com gift certificate, you wait another 4 to 6 weeks before you get that email. There is absolutely no excuse for such slow delivery.
