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 have been with them almost a year now and have made over $200. NOW, for those of you who keep griping about the # of points that = $, IT IS 5 CENTS PER POINT!!! I REPEAT 5 CENTS PER POINT!!!!! Now do you understand? Too many of you are COMPLETELY WRONG about it. You cash out at 1000 points which equals $50.00. They are one of the best panels out there. Of course your going to get ripped off from them or ANY survey panel if you start cussing or threatening them. ALL surveys panel WILL boot you for that. Complain to them in a calm and CIVILIZED manner and they will help you.

Now, they are sending me 2 to 4 surveys a day, which is tempting. When I first started to take their surveys, I spent more time doing theirs than any other online survey companies. I was surprised how many of them I completed and how few points I had. I also didn't qualify for many of them which was a large amount of wasted time. I might give them another chance but I'm in no hurry.

I must concur with those who note how far this company has fallen. Point values for surveys have plummeted, most incent with mere sweeps entries, and it is getting harder and harder to earn enough points to cash out. I am also extremely annoyed by their new policy of sending a survey invitation and then DQ'ing automatically, when you try to click into it. I inquired about this with customer service, only to get a coy response asking me for minute details of the episode -- as if this episode did not repeat on a daily basis! This was once my favorite survey site; now that I have quit the Greenfield horror-site, it is my least favorite.

this used to be a decent company. I've cashed out a couple times in 3 years, but since they went to a sweeps entry "reward" for about half the surveys, they've been horrible. I took a survey one day that took twice as long as stated, and when I tried to submit my final answers, it timed out. I never did get my points for that one even tho I contacted customer service several times. Needless to say it took me way too long to finally get the last 25 points to hit the magic 1000 points needed to cash out, and as soon as my check arrives, I'll be closing my account

First of all, Global Test Market is a legit panel that has real research surveys by major companies, so that's a great start. I've taken some pretty interesting surveys as well in entertainment (TV, movies, games), which is a big plus. However, it took me about 1 year of taking surveys (doing about 5 a week and qualifying about 5% of the time) to reach 1000 and cash out. So, keep that mind. I did recently land a 500 point ($25) survey though, which was awesome! After trying a lot of panels, I am down to 3 I use regularly: Pinecone, SurveySpot, and Global Test Market.
