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

Can't redeem

June 12, 2026 by Rosalind from United States

I was doing quite well with this site until recently- Suddenly I find that I can't redeem my points. I am not getting an error message; "redeem" simply won't upload. I have contacted them multiple times and find them very slow to respond , if they respond at all. If my problem is eventually fixed I will update this review, because I have previously (and not too long ago) really liked this site.

HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A PROBLEM REDEEMING REWARDS FROM UNLOCK SURVEY SITE?

June 12, 2026 by Shelby from United States

I am so upset with Unlock Survey site https://www.unlocksurveys.com/ I have been a member for years starting with original site Springboard America. I was able in years past to redeem my reward points received for vigilantly doing the surveys. For the past 4 months I have not been able to redeem any reward points at all. I have tried using my desktop computer/laptop/smartphone and still keep getting error message:
The connection for this site is not secure www.unlocksurveysrewards.com sent an invalid response. Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

I have reached out to parent company for Unlock and to Unlock staff to no avail. They won't send me a link to redeem my rewards and it is so frustrating. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A PROBLEM REDEEMING REWARDS FROM UNLOCK SURVEY SITE?

Banned Me :(

September 30, 2025 by Kiera from United States

Banned me after I gained 1900 out of 2500 points. Don’t waste your time. Customer service hasn’t reached out after responding to an email saying they were investigating it.

waste of time

September 17, 2025 by THERESA from United States

I joined in May, and at the very end of the survey, I realized you don't qualify, so I deleted it as a waste of time.

Poor Customer Service

September 7, 2025 by Lee from United States

I love the platform, and maintaining a streak was highly motivating. After making quite a bit in earnings and coming close to cashing out, I was suddenly hard locked out of my account with no clear explanation as to why. I was actually pretty heartbroken over it for a while, and all attempts to contact support fell on deaf ears. Apparently others have had a similar experience. I’d still love to hear back and regain my account, but until then I recommend saving yourself from the heartache.
