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+

Very Poor Performer

July 9, 2018 by Andrea from Australia

Signing up to this site you will get lots of surveys but wont qualify for many of them and maybe receive points. No cash rewards only gift cards.

I often take Surveys by Global Test market with another panel and receive $1.50-$3.50 per survey, which pays much better rewards than Global test market themselves. Better to do their surveys through another provider for decent rewards

Help Center

June 18, 2018 by Bill from United States

When you click on the help center you now (Mid June 2018) you get a 404 error Message "File or directory not found".

GTM has made it official they have no help when there is a problem on their site.

Completed long survey but received no points

June 8, 2018 by Ryan from Vietnam

The site used to be good but now it becomes worse and worse. I've completed a long survey and the completed page appeared and said that you've earned 100 points, but when I checked my account, no points added. I wrote to them a ticket, but they didn't reply me. The site keep sending me a lot of survey and when I see them, now I'm afraid that if i do them, I gain no points.

GTM IN UK

June 7, 2018 by MARGERY from United Kingdom

They may have sorted out problems in the States, but not in the UK. I have queries outstanding for between 18 days and 3 months! We were told that our points would be converted 3 for 1, this did not appear to happen. The rewards do not appear to be as good as before and I am certainly qualifying for less surveys. I have just downloaded a new app from them mC+, but I am now a bit wary, is it OK?

UPDATE: Can anything be done? everything that I have read on these reviews is true. I have not had my account closed, but I have been 'fiddled' out of loads of points, spending a long time completing a survey, (their idea of 15 mins. is widely different from any normal time keepers), then getting to the end and being informed that the survey is closed or I do not fit the profile.. no points given, just sweeps!
II completely surprises me that seemingly large and well established firms have anything to do with such a firm, it surely raises questions about the veracity of the information which is passed to them.
Are we employees? We work under their instruction.

UPDATE
I have to say the situation in the UK is much improved. I am getting more regular 'hits' at surveys, and they have reduced the amount of points needed to cash in. 575 for a £5 Paypal credit and similar amounts for Nectar Points and a £5 Amazon voucher.
I usually choose Paypal and my payout is usually in my account in a couple of days
