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+

I originally left a more negative review, but as I've used GTM more, it has become more positive. There are still a few things that keep the site from being great.

For starters, the positive. GTM offers somewhat high payouts per survey, at least compared to other sites I use, with most surveys being at least 35 points. In terms of the Paypal option, that's roughly a $1.50 per survey (230 points = $10). GTM also sends plenty of surveys on a constant basis.

Now for the bad.

GTM makes it annoying to see the rewards for a survey. On the main interface, they do not tell you what the reward for taking a survey. I have spent 20-30 mins before taking a survey just to realize all I got was an entry in the sweepstake after completing it. After you finish or are rejected from a survey, the site will offer another survey and tell you what the rewards are. Why they don't allow me to see this from the main interface, I don't know.

Perhaps the largest problem with GTM are the payout options. You cannot payout until you have at least 1000 points saved up. The minimum Paypal option is also $10, meaning I can only checkout with Paypal at 230 point intervals. This means I often checkout at $50 intervals. Finally, payouts aren't the quickest. The longest I think I've waited is 8 business days.

GTM is a decent pay site, but there definitely could be improvements.

I have no idea why this panel isn't rated higher. I just signed up recently, and I already have almost made $50! They send tons of surveys to my email each day, and although I don't qualify for all of them, I usually get at least three a day that I can take. I highly recommend these folks!

If I have to choose the best survey panel, GTM it is, they send surveys everyday, sometimes high pay, pay for completing the surveys is fair and prompt, they add the Marketpoints immediately.

If I could rate them 100/100 I would. Great surveys, usually get sent 2-3 a day and excellent customer service. Pay for completing the surveys is fair and prompt. Definitely recommend them over any other site.Only regret is I wish I had known about them sooner.

EVERY single time I do a survey (3 times now) it goes through the whole survey then goes to a blank window once I'm finished and I don't get any points. This site is the biggest waste of time that I've ever had the displeasure of of using.
