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 got banned from this site for no reason and they owed me about £50 for all the surveys I had done. Avoid at all costs, they will rip you off!

GTM is a great site. They send a lot of surveys and they are fairly easy to do. Your points add up quickly.

They seem to be getting worse. I've always appreciated the fact that they are so much more straightforward than (for instance) the horrific devious Toluna. However…. I've just done 2 surveys and been kicked off after about 10 minutes and having answered numerous questions. Getting fed up with it.

UPDATE
I used to prefer this site and it got better for a while but it's got worse again and time after time now 10-15 minutes into a survey it kicks you off…. the worst thing is that now I'm seeing the clues of what it is they really want to know about which is surely not the point. It's much, much too long setting up relevant questions. Too much wasted time and very frustrating.

Took a survey the other day and I had completed it all the way through but at the end of the last page when I got redirected to the globaltestmarket site I got a message saying you got screened out and didn't receive the points. So I had to email them and explain them what happened and they got my points credited. Other than that they are a ok but most surveys are under 50 points.

I have been a member of Global Test Market since November and after a few months I finally had enough points to redeem 100$ sent to my paypal (took 2 weeks). Here's my review from my efforts thus far:

PROS:
+ Many survey opportunities a week
+ Qualified 63% of the time
+ Often Short or Medium length surveys value ranging between 15-60pts

CONS:
- Need minimum 1000points value in your cart to redeem
- Takes a while to collect points
- Occasional buggy surveys

OVERALL:
Although some reviews state having difficulty getting incentives paid, I have thus far had no issue with GTM
