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+

September 17, 2010 by Sultana from India

In my opinion it is the only good and genuine survey site

WHAT THE

September 17, 2010 by Rene from Malaysia

I signed up with globaltestmarket about a year ago or so. Before I signed up with them i did a research on them around and saw that most reviews abt them showed that they're quite a legit company and they really pay. Or so i thought.

I did quite a number of surveys and everything seemed fine, until recently when i reached 960 points (1000 is the min points for payout). I still got surveys like usual, but i realized even though i COMPLETED the surveys, NO POINTS CREDITED TO MY ACCOUNT ANYMORE!! At first i thought it must be some tech problems and didn't really bother, but i started doubt it when it happens over and over again for like more than TEN TIMES in a row!

Now i realize that they actually just holding the points so that i won't get to 1000 points, and so that they DON'T need to pay!!

Good company gone rotten

September 17, 2010 by Ian from United States

They were a good company, 4 months ago I cashed out and recieved a check for $50. Recently however I have had no end of problems. First points weren't benn added to my account, but that was resolved. Then when I finally reached 1010 points I imediately cashed out. All well and good? NOT AT ALL!! Even though they sent me a confirmation email to say I had cashed out, 3 days later when I went to check my account I was locked out. 3 days after that when I finally got in to my account my balance was down to 990....even though the new surveys they are sending me say I have 1010. They have basically negated my payment and reduced my market points so I can't cash out again....I'M SO MAD!

Very unfair!

September 17, 2010 by Heather from United States

I've been taking surveys from them for the past two weeks and have not received any points at all! They actually took away some of my Market Points! I had 280 and now 195! I also emailed them twice and no response either time! I filed a complaint..hopefully this matter can be resolved. I don't recommend them at all!

Always Disqualified

September 17, 2010 by Nicole from United States

I've gotten a good number of surveys to take so far, but, I haven't been able to finish any of them. I always answer at least 20-25 questions before they tell me that I'm not qualified for the survey. How can I take almost the whole survey and then not qualify. And this has happened with every survey invite I've got so far. And by the looks of the other reviews, it looks like it's not just me this is happening to. They are getting answers from people and then not rewarding them. I would stay away from GTM.
