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:

SPAM Maru Springboard America

December 9, 2023 by Richard from United States

It took a long time, but I finally accrued 4,950 points. Then I realized that my points did Not increase when I continued to do many more surveys. It just stayed at 4,950. I emailed Maru Springboard America. In fact, I emailed them six times. Each time I got a different answer. The last time I emailed they actually lowered my points to 4,900 and told me they did not lower my points.

What happened ???

November 12, 2023 by Ann from United States

No reviews for 2022..and wonder what happened to this site..It does not progress..we are stuck with points and cannot cash in..yet no opportunities to progress and get more..just died on me..anyone knows what is going on???

Gone way down

October 6, 2023 by Barry from United States

Hard to qualify and often told you did not qualify at very end of survey. Surveys take much longer than promised.

Biased, racial discrimination

June 21, 2023 by Zunni from United States

I had first heard good things about this site, so i joined. My very first 3 surveys i was taking allowed me to complete up to 96% then when I was asked about my race and if i was of Latino origin i answered yes then the very next 2 questions asked if i was fluent in English and Spanish and when i answered yes, all of a sudden the survey decided it was not suitable for me! And mind you this happened 3 times in s row!

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.
