Started good; then got whacked
by Brian, Apr 23 '08

I used GlobalTestMarket for several years and received over $600 in payments. Then, out of the blue was unable to login. I wrote to them and got a canned response. Wrote to them again and was told my account was closed for fraudulent activity. Finally, after multiple emails, was told that I had more than one account in my house, which I did - for my three children, who had all taken surveys and been paid. I even got "bonus" points for them signing up! Of course, they waited until I was <$2 away from my next cashout! Good luck with these guys :-(

I just got my first payment from GlobalTestMarket. I was surprised to get a $50 check! It took about 5 weeks to get though. And I'm already over half way to getting another $50. They do use OTX for many of their surveys so you may get stuck doing a survey for 10 minutes and then being DQ'd.

I have been with Global Test Market for several years and have had no problems cashing out with them. Yes it may take about 30-45 days to get paid but it does come. They are working with paypal to make getting paid faster. Some people whine because they got found out that they had duplicate accounts and were making a lot of money off of them. Some people just complain to be complaining. Definitely recommend them.

How ironic?
by Michael, Feb 26 '08

this site has stopped sending me surveys ever since the complaint i had filed with Survey Police had been resolved. They used to send a lot of surveys but none now so i am right below the amount i need to cash out. i think i will cancel after that.

this company is a fraud
by Maria, Feb 20 '08

after answering surveys for over 3 years GTM cancelled my account without notification. I emailed them and all they said was that my account had fraud activity. which is false. I believe they cancelled my account because i was cashing out $50 every month. Yes they pay well but the checks take 3-6 weeks to arrive. they don't care about their panelist. They will disable your account when ever they feel like it. Good Luck.

Globaltestmarket is one of my top favorite sites. I get dozens or more surveys a week. Sure, you need 1000 MP's to cash out, but that goes rather quickly. Payments are timely.

Never a problem!
by Craig, Jan 21 '08

I have been a member for over a year now and have already cashed out more than $200 in incentives! Sure, some surveys kick you out after 4-5 minutes of questions, but many others last only 10-15 minutes and you get a few dollars each time! Survey quantity is excellent and rarely do I feel like a survey is too long. Highly recommended!

I Got My Cheque
by Jim, Jan 10 '08

Ya I have been with this site for about 2 years now and I enjoy it. I have cashed out once already and I recieved my payment on time and I am about to cash out again. The surveys are good and frequent and if you don't qualify they still give you 5 points which still adds up over time. I recommend this site.

Easy to earn
by Gordon, Dec 28 '07

I have been a member for the past 14 months. I cashed out 6 times so far and received each payment. I only have one account so I do not run into the issue of being banned.

As a member of 14+ survey panels GTM is in the top 3 easy.

I haven't had any problems with this site at all. I even won $100 in their monthly sweepstakes, and I recvd' the check only 3 days after they sent me the notification email that I had won. I recommend this one.

globaltestmarket, has worked for me
by Rena, Nov 12 '07

I don't remember how long I have been a member, but it has probably been 2 years. At first I was skeptical, it took awhile before I even decided to cash out. I hadn't been doing all the surveys regularly. I misunderstood, and thought I was getting a check for 10 dollars. Boy was I suprised it was for 50. I started doing every survey, and in a few months I was had enough for another check. Both times, I am pretty sure it was less than 6 weeks. So I got a check twice this year. Now of course the surveys are fewer. I was hoping to have another check before Christmas, but they have cut the amount of surveys down.

MISLED!
by Jerry, Nov 08 '07

After 3 years as a member - putting up with some surveys that die in the middle I still managed to accumulate over $500 in points. Stupid me for saving them for this Christmas instead of cashing them in. Request a check in August 07. Suppossed to take 1 - 4 weeks. Get an apology email in saying checks delayed. Wait another 4 weeks - ask for status - they say my account is fraudlent. this after sending me an email in October asking me why I haven't filled out surveys lately! They don't want to pay!

After accumulating your points and doing surveys with them, you are unable to claim your cash. They say that they believe that there was fraudulent activity and your account has been terminated. See complaints for similar problems

I was also unable to login for about a week then received an email explaining they had computer problems that flagged people as fraudulant. Things are running again, website updated, surveys coming & they gave me 100 points for my trouble.

Going Down The Pan?
by Karen, Sep 29 '07

Been a member for 2 yrs+, all went OK until recently, when points started being delayed, problems with updating account history etc. 6 weeks after redeeming 1036 pts, I was told there would be a further 4 weeks wait, they gave me extra 20 pts as an 'apology'. Now I suddenly find my account 'disabled', with no notification, but on enquiry I was told to refer to the User Agreement. I emailed querying why, but no response to date. If panellists are 'constantly redeeming' as they told Paul (above)it's only because they send so many surveys, not because panellists are fraudulent! They seem to be wriggling out of paying up - are they in financial difficulties or is something more sinister afoot? I am no fraudster, I have only one a/c and I always give honest answers. Will post on UK review sites under Buyer Beware. This company has lost credibility.

This company is a scam
by Bob, Sep 26 '07

They are incredibly dishonest. They let you take surveys for months, then cancel your account when you cash in (you must have $50 built up), claiming multiple accounts or fraud (both untrue, in my case). I wonder what their customers think of them, and all the "fraudulent" and "multiple account" data they produce. This company should be prosecuted.

not worth working with
by paul, Sep 25 '07

Although these guys seem legit, their payment habits are abysmal. For the amount of time that the surveys take, and the feedback they provide their clients, you would think that these guys would be happy to pay the survey respondents.

And yet, when it comes time to sign the cheque, they start to play games stating everything from lost in the mail to cheques get signed at the end of the month, or my favourite; "We experienced increasingly high amount of
fraudulent panelists that are constantly redeeming and we had to stall the majority of our checks in process. Rest assured, yours will arrive in up to 10-12 weeks from redemption."

It's been over 3 months and still no cheque.

not a fair company
by Becky, Sep 20 '07

I joined this survey group at least 4 years ago. I never had a problem with them until I tried to cash in my points the second time. I kept getting an error message and to try back later. The next day I tried to sign in but it said that I needed to sign in with a valid email address and password. Thinking that I must have changed my password I requested my information which didn't work. I have emailed GlobalTestMarket several times and all I get is "read the user agreement". I am owed close to $100 and can't get it.

very fair company
by Dan, Sep 13 '07

Some folks have had trouble with them, but not me :-)

The points add up over time, and when they do, you get a 50$ check for 1000 points. Every once in a great while, you qualify for a hefty survey, which bolsters your points.

you normally get 5 points just for attempting surveys you don't even qualify for, which is a really nice gesture, the points do add up over time.

It takes some time to get your check, so make sure you cash it out around August if you want to use it for Christmas shopping or something.

there is some info on gpts, also surveys and secret shopping on my myspace

I've been a member for years and things were going really well, then the last 6 months or so I've noticed points being deducted from my account, points not being awarded, many problems with the surveys (amazingly most are after the survey is complete) Getting help from someone who understands is difficult at best. They've become very frustrating.
