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+

Frustrating and Time Wasting

April 7, 2016 by Peggy from United States

I would suggest that anyone interested in doing surveys for rewards plan on wasting a lot of time and being frustrated often, especially if you are doing surveys for Global Test Market. For every one survey I get to complete I am screened out of 5 to 10. Then there are the surveys where you answer questions for 10 or 15 minutes and then get the message that you are not qualified. Wait a minute - I just answered 40 questions! I may be giving this one the heave ho.

really not worth the time

April 5, 2016 by Inga from United States

very few points reward system and takes too long to payout and their level. Not worth it and I would not recommend

UPDATE: Finally after over 6 months was able to cash out. Took almost 2 weeks to get my redemption. The points to accumulate for a redemption just aren't worth the time spent doing the surveys. I will be closing my account

Almost perfect!

April 4, 2016 by felipe from Brazil

Almost perfect!
It's a good choice for those who likes enjoy answering questions in your free time.
From all surveys I tried, this is the only one which I am correctly chosen for the surveys (most of the times).
About the reward... well there are many options though I prefer paypal. Both times I request the prizes it took one week to to cash out that's to me it is a good time.
I'm in this GlobaltestMarket about one year and then I got 2300 points for my participations.
The only bad point is that I wish I could have more points in each survey that I spent about one hour of my life which I can not recover anymore. :(

Tells you that you're screen-out after finishing the entire survey

April 3, 2016 by Vern from Australia

Global test market is starting to do this more and more lately. They make you finish the entire survey and then notify you at the very end that you have been screened out.
This is ridiculous! The customer service isn't in any way helpful and just uses a generic response that you have been screened-out.
I think something needs to write to an ombudsman.

I was hasty

March 30, 2016 by Kathryn from United States

Today I received an email saying that I redeemed my points (which I did not). I immediately signed into my account and sent an inquiry. Within 15 minutes I received a reply and the order was cancelled and my points were restored. I am very impressed and pleased. Needless to say that I changed my password.

Today I received notice that my account has been closed at my request. I did not close my account...I just wanted to cancel the bogus order on my account. I informed them of their mistake. We will see what happens.
