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+

A legit survey company who's surveypolice panel ratings have steadily diminished in the last 2 years. Feel free to read the abundance of similar comments from other members.

Global Test Market was the first site I ever signed up for, they used to be awesome, had a great variety of panels, etc. But now, I will do an entire survey sometimes and not get compensation.

January 14, 2017 by Lori from United States

I have had A LOT of surveys I get screened out of, buy I have been paid through PayPal. I like that. Am very close to another pay out but finding that getting screened out is the theme. I have also done quite a few that screen out after answering all the questions. I complain, but to no avail. I just move on.

I like the steady amount of survey invitations from Global. I'm not so keen on the high screenout rate, the number of repetitive and boring surveys and the payment threshold of £30, which can take a long time to reach. Sticking with them for now as I have had a few payouts and they are generally reliable, but they were much better in the past.

This site is an utter waste of time. So often I start a survey and get screened out. Out of 42 surveys attempted I have been screened out of 29. If they paid any attention to your profile then they wouldn't offer unsuitable surveys.

With regards to pay rate, each point is worth about 2.7p. In terms of successful surveys, it's taken me 204 minutes (according to GTM) to amass 336 points (£9.07) making that an hourly rate of £2.67 an hour. If you factor in all the screen outs, typically 5 minutes each, that's another 145 minutes, which gives me an hourly rate of £1.56.

As soon as I hit my cash out threshold, I'm dumping this panel. Sadly, the payout threshold is £30.

I'm also getting fed up being spammed about new surveys which I inevitably get screened out of.
