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+

Suck you in, and then flood your inbox with surveys. Just when you get to the end, Opps, you don't qualify and offer you a bazillion more surveys where they take your info and you never get credited.

EDIT: Gave a lower rating because now I can't log in and they're not helping in the least. They're still replying painfully slowly and won't respond to half of my messages at all.
Despite the title of my review, I'm basing my rating on one huge thing; their customer service. The customer service in their rewards zone is EXCELLENT; but the main customer service is horrendous. If you have several questions, they'll be bound to only answer one of them and you'll keep having to message them to be answered. They give confusing answers and take days to reply to simple questions. I had a problem with double accounts and they let me keep my old one while thankfully (I hope) letting me keep my order. Since they've done that though, the site has been glitching like crazy. It says I have over 1000 points yet customer service says I only have 550. Now any survey I do, I get no points credited to my account. I can't even contact their reward zone customer service to see if I'm still getting my cash out for sure because there's an error everytime I try to send a message, and normal customer service won't respond. After I get my money, I believe I'm done with this site. If I get my money, I'll give a higher rating for if they do actually at least pay you.

They offer a lot of surveys every week. You get both points and sweepstakes entries for completing surveys, most of which give 30 to 45 points.

The payout threshold is pretty low, too. 243 points for a $10.00 PayPal payment or 485 points for a $20.00 payment. It's a minimum 1000 points to redeem any prize, though.

I had been a member of GTM since 2008 and had 37000 points and over 7000 sweepstakes entries in that time. Then I received this response as to why I could no longer log in to my account:

Dear Panel Member,

According to our records, your account was not in compliance with the User Agreement, notably Section 6 – Good-Faith Participation:

You agree to participate in good faith and to the best of your ability in any market research activities in connection with the Service. You will not provide false or misleading data, including without limitation, survey responses that are inconsistent with prior responses or statistically improbable.

GlobalTestMarket reserves the right to terminate any account suspected of User Agreement violations and further forfeit all awards earned from said account.

Well I have been filling out surveys here for 7 years and now all of a sudden it's not in "good faith"?! They used to be good and give decent rewards but 30 points for 25 minutes or 10 sweepstakes entries.....nah don't bother with them.


Update: After sending them a sternly written email my account was reinstated as a "one time courtesy". Luckily I have cashed out my $50 as of today. Seriously though accusing you of "fraud" after being a panel member for 7 years is a stretch too far for my liking.
