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+

Was Great, Now Avoid at All Costs

December 11, 2016 by John from United States

Have been a member of Global Test Market since 2011. Great experiences and received wonderful test products. Over the past few weeks, I noticed that the surveys were having technical issues and crashing. Within the past week and when I was about to cash out over 2000 Market Points my account was locked. At first customer support said it was an issue with my browser cache but in further communication, they indicated my account was not in compliance with the User Agreement, notably Section 6 – Good-Faith Participation and my account was terminated and rewards were forfeited. I attempted to appeal the decision but to no avail and my account remains terminated.
I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and it appears that there is a pattern of complaints. According to the BBB, "Consumers have reached out to BBB with reports that accounts were terminated or became inactive for no reason, survey points were earned but not awarded, payments were earned but not received. Consumers reported the business was unresponsive to them in their efforts to receive answers to their concerns." In further research since September Global Test Market is no longer responding to complaints involving questionable account termination. I would avoid Global Test Market if you are thinking of joining or cashing out your rewards before they terminate your account.

Global is a great rewarding website. However, when a request for a correction is made at times they do not respond for a couple of weeks. I receive the response that support staff will get back with me. But it takes them a long time. I have had a problem previously in retrieving my rewards. I would click rewards and it would ask me to enter user name and password again. I followed steps and still no luck. I wish they would provide a customer service telephone number . Very poor customer service is an ongoing problem.

surveys are way too long

December 7, 2016 by carol from United States

When I do qualify for a survey which isn't very often they are very long and they have lowered the points so I can hardly ever cash out it takes months

Very good

December 4, 2016 by Sharmaine from Philippines

I joined GlobalTestMarket on April 4, 2016 and soon received invitations to surveys. If you screen out, you receive 5 points.

In 3 months, I had enough to redeem 500 PHP (10 USD). And after another 4.5 months, I could redeem another 500 PHP.

I redeemed my points and received 1,000 PHP in my PayPal after 2 weeks.
