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+

Do Not Join

July 21, 2016 by BLAIR from Singapore

Don't join. It's absolutely dubious, just like what reviewers have said.

When I redeemed my points for vouchers earlier this year, I didn't receive any and whatever inquiries I lodged with them, they simply close all the cases without replying me. Shady, like what some people online have said.

Saw it coming

July 20, 2016 by Tammie from United States

Been hearing a lot negative things about GTM lately. I used the site over 4 years never having an issue. It got so bad what I was hearing I was worried and came to Survey Police and read more of the same.

I watched this year the as the amounts paid per survey plunged, the lengths of time increased, the disqualifications or quotas filled were astounding. They were sending 22 pt surveys like a spam onslaught, I tried each and many never even went to the survey, saying the survey was close already.

A few days ago I couldn't log in. I emailed to ask why and I received an email saying I hadn't in good faith tried to do the surveys sent to me....

I saw it coming. Thankfully I cashed out last month, but still lost some money. Very sad to see the site end up this way because I enjoyed how fair they were compared to most.

Stay away

July 7, 2016 by Igor from United States

The surveys are sporadic, and the company has no customer support to speak of. I have currently service tickets that involve payments that they never sent me and that haven't been answered for more than 2 months. They will simply never reply to you, period. I tried to contact them by phone, but it was answered by some generic phone-answering service, so there's no way to speak to any of them. All-in-all, one of the worst companies I ever dealt with.

Hypocritical

July 6, 2016 by Louis from United States

Global Test Market still seems to have a major problem as with many other survey sites, where they disqualify you well into the survey. What makes me laugh is when they say all the information you supplied will not be used.

If that is the case. How come they wait to the very end to disqualify you on some surveys? I am talking 20 to 25 minutes in. They have to be using that info you provided. Yet, they get mad at people for not supplying honest answers.

Stop the trickery and maybe people would not be so disgruntled when it comes to paid surveys. They are in power though, and can get away with it.
