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+

Received Payment - ONCE!

May 15, 2015 by Justin from South Africa

This survey site really showed promise.

I received survey invites fairly regularly. After building up to the required payout threshold, I requested a payout and received a cheque in due course which was deposited without issue.

I continued to use the service and when I again hit the payout threshold, I requested a redemption. I waited the required 10 weeks, but the cheque never arrived, I emailed the company and they replied advising that they would review. After a week I received another email requesting I give them my address again - which I did. They advised I needed to wait another 10 weeks. That was over a year ago now.

I continued to complete surveys and placed another redemption order.

The 10 weeks came and went twice more in respect of the second redemption (in the mean time I never received the cheque in respect of the third redemption either and followed the same procedure as occurred previously, namely emailing, providing my address and waiting 10 weeks).

The 'third' 10 week period expired last week, I emailed the company again who advised me that they will only issue cheques three times and then they write off the cheque - so I have now lost that payment.

I continually requested them to pay me via paypal (as many other survey companies offer), but they indicated they do not offer this as a payout mechanism.

I am sorely disappointed at this company, it appears that they just built confidence by making payment of the first redemption and then just delay on every other payment request.

Please be careful guys and girls when using this company, they appear great and reply to emails, but here I am sitting waiting over a year for payments of services rendered to them only to find out now that they have written off the amount (sure it was in their terms and conditions, but suddenly it feels like there is a reason they have that in their terms and conditions)

waste of my time

April 27, 2015 by Lorna from Canada

Total waste of my time.. the prize does not ever equal any time spent! Constantly screened out.. should be screened prior to sending out surveys.. why waste my time for nothing... can spend 3 hours doing the start of surveys and never earn a thing... SORRY an entry for a sweepstakes draw... 15 billion entries for one prize every 18 months! I think not... SORRY, your cart total does not meet the minimum points to redeem. Your cart must total 1,000 MarketPoints or more. You will need to select additional items or vouchers to reach the required minimum. You have earned the reward but you can not redeem until you have more than 1000 points... in about 4 years I have not qualified for enough points to even have a redemption history on my account! VERY UNFAIR!.. now today there is a notice that they have even removed the reward card redemption! Hmmmm why bother?
Also the recent consumer review with Watch these four videos on youtube... well I got so much crap on the feed back from several survey sites on that survey... you have to have flash loaded... it is! But the survey just gets to the youtube page and sits there... watch all the videos listed on the page.. .makes no difference.. you still just sit there!
I say undoubtedly this one is a FAIL!

system need to be improved a lot more

April 23, 2015 by suat ping from Australia

used to be quite responsive & execellent, but no more. Feedback sent on 17 apr and get reply on 22 apr with no solution. Anyone experience been screened out after taking the survey for more than 20 mins? I did. Anyone experience completed the survey and been thanks for participate the survey but no market point been credited? Too many times market point not been credited, sick of making complaints and many times just wasting time completing surveys for them without given market points.

Used to be decent

April 19, 2015 by steve from United Kingdom

They were a decent panel at one time, but have declined in the past year.

If you do surveys your account is not always credited with them.

If you complain, your account sometimes becomes mysteriously inaccessible.

My advice would be to avoid these shysters like the plague. Very untrustworthy indeed.

started off well

April 11, 2015 by sylvie from United Kingdom

I was a member for around 2 weeks and managed to get about 300 points. 1000 points can be redeemed for a £10 paypal transaction or giftcard. Now when I try to log in it doesnt recognise my username or password. I seem to have been locked out of my account. What a waste of time.
