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+

Decent

May 22, 2016 by Mai from Indonesia

Joined since 2014
Had redeem 2 times and almost on my third.

Better site other than many other websites I signed up.
Still give u 5 points even if u aren't qualified for a survey.

Even better because it added Paypal

But they decreased the amount of rewards. Takes longer to get 50$

Great Survey Site

May 16, 2016 by Shirley from United States

This is a trustworthy company.
I completed my quota of 1200 points
and GlobalTestMarket sent my money
to PayPal.

It takes 5 days for GlobalTestMarket 's reward handler (Perks.com) to send the money to PayPal.

After PayPal gets it you can transfer the money to your bank. It will take 3 days for the money to reach your bank.

It takes 8 business days in all for you to receive your money.

How can I communicate with company?

May 12, 2016 by Lorraine from United States

I have been with this company for one month and cannot wait to get my 1,000 points and just leave. I have been receiving at least 5 invitation per day, 95% of them are useless. Hopefully there will be no issues or discrepancies in my account because there is no way to communicate with them from their site. They have a "capcha" system that does not work so no messages can be sent from there. This has been verified by another two panelists. Global does not accept regular emails for communication either. So, I would like to ask some advice from the people who think this company is great. How should I communicate with Global? Shall I send my message with a carrier pigeon?
May 10, 2016 I have enough of this panel. I am kissing it good bye.

Very disappointed

May 8, 2016 by Denise from United States

After several years providing thoughtful responses to surveys, I have been locked out of my account. Of course, I have enough points to redeem, but cannot log in to redeem. Dont know what to do-I get no response to my email requests.

Lodge a complaint with E.S.O.M.A.R.

May 2, 2016 by Joshua from Singapore

Global Test Market used to be a respectable market research company.

However, as others in this community have noted, recently, this company has gotten much worse.

For example, panelists such as myself and others in this community are denied access to their accounts, particularly when they are near to redeeming or have just redeemed their incentives.

A common excuse given by Global Test Market is that 'your account was put on hold because we have received bounce messages when attempting to reach you via your registered email address, so we thought your email address is no longer working.'

In my case, this was nonsensical because my email address was receiving messages from other senders with no problems.

My suggestion to Global Test Market users / panelists who have problems with this company is to lodge an official complaint with E.S.O.M.A.R., the governing body for market research companies worldwide.

E.S.O.M.A.R. can be reached at:-

[email protected]

Global Test Market is part of Kantar Group of companies, a subsidiary of W.P.P. [Wire and Plastic Products].

When lodging a complaint against Global Test Market, my suggestion is to include Kantar Group and W.P.P., as these are Global Test Market's parent companies.

Subsequently, consider lodging a complaint with your national commercial crimes division of your country's police force.

Market research companies such as Global Test Market should not be allowed to waste panelists' time and efforts and subsequently deny them their incentives.

This type of activity should be investigated by E.S.O.M.A.R. and police.
