KEY FEATURES:

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.

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.

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+

Global Test Panel seems ok at first, but eventually get nothing. Have been sent numerous surveys that for some reason after 10-15 min questions, do not qualify.
They use alot of OTX surveys, and we all know about them.
Not sure if legit though.
Customer service is quick to answer your questions, but usually in their favor.
I rate them somewhat fair
Good luck if your a member. I cancelled mine, not enough incentives to stay there. 1000 points for $5. WOW!

I honest to God have yet to qualify for one of their surveys. Seems like a waste of time to me; I'll probably give it another month and if nothing changes I'll just cancel my membership.

I too got cheated out of points when I was near the cashout threshold of 1000 points. I had 955 points and took a 40 point survey. I spent over 10 minutes doing it and got 0 points. I filed a complaint here and they said I was disqualified because I rushed through it in less than a minute. Even if that were the case, I should have gotten 5 points which I didn't. GTM refused to fix the problem. I see many others here have had the same issue.

I was also a victim of the "Duplicate Points" thing. Anyone who cashed out higher amounts were told they were mistakenly issued duplicate points for Surveys in Dec 2008. GTM voided our cashouts and said the problem would be fixed soon. We had to wait more than 6 weeks to cashout again and of course our points were less.

Something is very wrong with this company. Stay away from them.

i really actually like this survey site. I feel like I get at least 3-5 surveys from them daily and so even if I do not qualify, I am at least getting .25 cents for each time I open the survey. I seem to always be able to cash out pretty quickly and the surveys actually make me feel like I'm not just wasting my time. In my experience, they have been a legit and honest website.

GlobalTest Market surveys seem like a "come-on". I'm invited to surveys, answer LOTS of questions and then, suddenly, after 10 or 15 minutes, I'm told that I don't qualify. I have the feeling that they are collecting lots of research data without having to pay for it. In more than 6 months, I've only earned about 200 points!
