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+

Surveys are LONG! Takes 40-45 min to complete. Then they tell you you've been screened out and you do not receive incentives other than some bogus sweepstake entry. Their surveys are longer than any other survey panel I belong to and their incentives are pathetic. 40 points for 40+ minutes of your time and in order to earn $50 you have to have 1000 points. That's roughly 1000 minutes or 16.5 hours to earn $50 ... that's worse than minimum wage. And that's if they actually give you the incentive. I completed 10 surveys in March(I keep track) and they say I have completed 1. When I contact them they give me a song and dance about getting screened out. I guess 40 minutes and hundreds of questions later they decide they have gotten enough information from you and they screen you out.

Stay away! There are enough legitimate survey companies out there - don't waste your time earning less than minimum wage from these guys.

OK site...Started NOV 2011, and just did my first $50 cash-out. They ONLY send $50 checks every 1000 points, and each survey averages 30-45 points, so it does take a little while. BUT, they have lots of surveys & I qualify for approx. 40%, so, I do like them as my second tier grouping.

Since joining I've redeemed 13,566 markets points worth over $650 bucks.

Mileage will vary.

Sometimes its weeks before I qualify for a survey (I answer honestly and don't try to figure out that they're looking for) but I have gotten some doozeys like a laundry detergent survey that netted me $35 worth of market points and 4 free bottles of detergent to test.

I also qualified for the AARP site through Global Test Marketing that nets me a $10 Amazon gift certificate every month.

The bottom line is you're not going to get rich through taking surveys but the extra cash a couple of times of year comes in handy and $10 a month to spend at Amazon which can be put together with other gift certs is nice.

You do need to be patient.

You will have to wade through dozens of surveys to find one that you can complete. Then you will find that most of your invitations offer only a worthless entry into a sweepstakes. Big deal. Save your time, go elsewhere.

I was taking surveys at the same speed for 10 years with these people. This year I've been disabled and then enabled and then disabled again. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I used to highly recommend this survey company but no more. It has gone down hill so please stay away from. They will find any excuse to disable your account no matter how long you've been with them.
