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+

The conversion from "marketpoints" to "lifepoints" really devalued the payouts. Surveys are worth about 30% less now. I wonder if they figured their customers couldn't do math?

Update 5/18/17: Surveys seem to be paying as they were before the update. Not the best site out there, but not too bad. My biggest gripe is that it can take a while to cash out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The site wasn't too bad before the new points system was implemented, now... not so much The problem isn't the point system itself, it's the other things that the update has brought on. More time for less money.

Before the update I would average $1.00 for roughly 15-20 minute surveys, now surveys have been paying on average 30 Life points (less than $0.30) for 20-25 minutes.

Needless to say, I have stopped doing any surveys on their site until things get sorted out.

If payouts return to their previous status I would recommend this site, until then I would avoid.

One of the best site I'm using, but surveys are available once weekly because of my demographic.

It clearly states on their Reward page that I can redeem a $10.00 PayPal reward with 1200 LifePoints. I have 1415 points and I could NOT redeem. Support emailed me and said for ALL rewards you need a minimum of 4,000 LifePoints. WHAT? NOWHERE on the site does it say this. NOWHERE!!. I don't understand then why they are advertising on their reward page very many different products, gift cards, PayPal, etc. that you can redeem for lower points according to their reward page. It clearly states the number of points you need to redeem right under the products picture. NOTHING says anything about needing 4,000 points. Support still said sorry you need 4,000 points to redeem any product. False advertising is what this is. Their sister company is MySurvey. I hope it is not the same there.

So, when I signed up, it was kinda buggy, and service was pretty much nonexistent if anything went wrong (often hilariously so - one time I got a form response to a question asking about a broken survey, responded asking for them to please respond with a real response, got the same form response back, tried a few times getting the same form response until I gave up, that was fun.) But at least the pay was decent. Not amazing, but decent. Not anymore, though - they just "revamped" their pay. Now they want to pay 100 points, worth about 80 cents, for completing a 20 minute survey, even disregarding the fact that I'll probably spend a couple minutes giving them data before being screened out, repeatedly? Yeah, how about I *don't* do that.
