Beginning early 2019, Lightspeed shut down GlobalTestMarket in some countries, and merged those members into LifePoints. As of June, 2019, GlobalTestMarket panels and members worldwide were fully integrated into LifePoints.

Founded in 1999, Global Test Market is an online survey panel owned by Lightspeed Research, a Kantar groups company. Global Test Market is one of the world’s leading providers of market research and serves clients in more than 60 countries worldwide.

They rewarded their panelists more than $30 million+ USD in 2016 alone! As a panelist, you can earn points for completing surveys that can be redeemed for reward items from over 200 partners, redeem your points for cash via PayPal, or donate your points to charity.

Unfortunately, GlobalTestMarket is no longer operational. Click the button to discover survey panels that are running and are actively looking for new members!

Payment and Rewards

Registration Process

Registering is easy, simple and free. Click the registration link where you will be asked simple questions about you and your household. The results are used to determine which surveys you are a good fit for.

Rewards Information

Each survey takes on average 15 minutes to complete and reward amounts depend on the survey length and urgency.

If you are screened out of surveys, you may be entered into a quarterly sweepstakes competition. For each sweepstakes entry you earn, you will be automatically entered into the drawing and if you are a winner, you will be notified via email. Remember to respond before the deadline provided to claim your prize.

LifePoints

For each survey completed, you will receive LifePoints, which you can accumulate to redeem cash and prizes. Each email invitation will alert you to how many LifePoints you will receive for taking the survey. LifePoints expire 3 years after being awarded the points, or after 12 months if there is no activity on the account.

On April 17, 2017, MarketPoints were discontinued and replaced by these new 'LifePoints' at a 1 for 5 conversion rate. Collected points can be redeemed for many different reward options, which may vary, depending on your country of residence. Rewards can be redeemed once you have accumulated 1,100 LifePoints ($10) in your account. Note that if you have a friend that was grandfathered in from the old Points program, they will be offered slightly different points than those who joined GlobalTestMarket after April 2017.

Community Features

Types of Surveys Offered

Many of GlobalTestMarket’s surveys ask your opinion on movies, restaurant, automobiles, consumer products, current events, and a variety of other interesting and fun topics. You can also download the LifePoints app onto your phone so you can take surveys on your mobile.

Points Expectations

You can expect to earn between 35-250 LifePoints based on the level of complexity or urgency of the survey. Even if you do not qualify for the survey, you may still receive 5 LifePoints..

Option to Give Back

In addition to the great selection of rewards, Global Test Market gives you the option to give back to your community! Unicef charity donations can be redeemed with collected LifePoints.

Refer Your Friends!

You can refer your friends by entering their email when you are signed into your account. If they fill out at least 2 surveys, you also earn points.

Rewards Processing Time

Rewards usually take about 4-6 weeks to arrive if you are in the United States and 6-8 weeks for international panel members.

Eligibility: Residents worldwide, age 14+

It Will Take You Forever To Reach 1,000 Points

September 17, 2010 by April from United States

I have 490 points with them. As soon as I reach 1,000 points and get my check, I'll be hitting the unsubscribe button. I am worried after reading all the reviews that I will never see my $50.00. Most of the people on here are saying that when they tried to cash out they claimed fraudulent activity on their account or were not able to log in. Basically never received their money from taking surveys. It takes to long to accumulate points with them. I just came from there site and I had 490 points now I have 450 points for some reason.

not a fair company

September 17, 2010 by micky from United Kingdom

i have been on 850 points for about 10 months now, i recieve about 12 invitations per week, none of which have ever given me points that were stated for completing the surveys, today i just spent 20 minutes (doing a so-called 15 minute survey!) when i was at 98% i was told 'unfortunately you are incompatible' so i complain to GTM and recieved this reply:-

The screening process depends on different requirements for each study. An example could be that you were not using the brand for which the study was looking for. Unfortunately the point of the screening process depends mostly on our clients

Used to be great but not anymore

September 17, 2010 by Christine from United States

You used to get 5 points if you did not qualify for a survey. Now you get a sweepstakes entry. I get tons of invitations for sweepstakes entries but not many for actual points and the ones I do I rarely qualify.I use to be able to cash out several times a year for $50 but now I will be lucky if I cashout at all this year. They use to be one of the best but not anymore. Unless you don't care about the incentives stay away. It is just not worth the time anymore.

I am so mad!!!

September 17, 2010 by rebecca from United States

Yesterday Global sent me a survey about crackers, it was soooooooooooooooooo long. It took me about 45 minutes to almost an hour, which is okay because they were going to give me 65 marketpoints (which I calculated to be about $3.50), But then at the very end of the survey, they kicked me out and said that I did not qualify. I used to like Global alot, but if they are going to be doing stuff like that to me where I am wasting my time for nothing...then forget them!!!

Excellent Customer Service

September 17, 2010 by Jeffrey from Thailand

I have not been a member long. Only 3 days. I live in Thailand now but don't read Thai. When I signed up the only language choice I had was Thai. It took about 36 hours and 12 emails, which they answered everyone 100% and within a few hours. And in the end Valentina and company resolved the problem for me and I got my first email today.
