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+

I joined this survey group at least 4 years ago. I never had a problem with them until I tried to cash in my points the second time. I kept getting an error message and to try back later. The next day I tried to sign in but it said that I needed to sign in with a valid email address and password. Thinking that I must have changed my password I requested my information which didn't work. I have emailed GlobalTestMarket several times and all I get is "read the user agreement". I am owed close to $100 and can't get it.

Although these guys seem legit, their payment habits are abysmal. For the amount of time that the surveys take, and the feedback they provide their clients, you would think that these guys would be happy to pay the survey respondents.

And yet, when it comes time to sign the cheque, they start to play games stating everything from lost in the mail to cheques get signed at the end of the month, or my favourite; "We experienced increasingly high amount of
fraudulent panelists that are constantly redeeming and we had to stall the majority of our checks in process. Rest assured, yours will arrive in up to 10-12 weeks from redemption."

It's been over 3 months and still no cheque.

They are incredibly dishonest. They let you take surveys for months, then cancel your account when you cash in (you must have $50 built up), claiming multiple accounts or fraud (both untrue, in my case). I wonder what their customers think of them, and all the "fraudulent" and "multiple account" data they produce. This company should be prosecuted.

Been a member for 2 yrs+, all went OK until recently, when points started being delayed, problems with updating account history etc. 6 weeks after redeeming 1036 pts, I was told there would be a further 4 weeks wait, they gave me extra 20 pts as an 'apology'. Now I suddenly find my account 'disabled', with no notification, but on enquiry I was told to refer to the User Agreement. I emailed querying why, but no response to date. If panellists are 'constantly redeeming' as they told Paul (above)it's only because they send so many surveys, not because panellists are fraudulent! They seem to be wriggling out of paying up - are they in financial difficulties or is something more sinister afoot? I am no fraudster, I have only one a/c and I always give honest answers. Will post on UK review sites under Buyer Beware. This company has lost credibility.

I was also unable to login for about a week then received an email explaining they had computer problems that flagged people as fraudulant. Things are running again, website updated, surveys coming & they gave me 100 points for my trouble.
