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+

Not worth the time

September 12, 2013 by Glen from United States

They raised the points needed to get a check. Like many other survey companies, it just isn't worth the time anymore.

not paying

September 12, 2013 by Poonam from India

I had redeemed 1000 pts 2 months earlier but have not received the cheque till date.

One of the best, with minor faults.

September 10, 2013 by Dave from United States

Upsides:
High pay, higher than most sites.
Completely honest, never missed a payment for me with at least 10-12 cashouts already.
Lots of surveys daily.
Customer service, although somewhat inept, always responds timely.

Downsides:
Recently diluted point value making $50 = 1100 instead of 1000h.
More surveys you wont qualify for with this site than other sites, ratio of 60% dont qualify 40% qualify in my opinion.
Extra bonus rewards for surveys as incentives dont automatically post, you must follow up and urge them to credit it.
Payout threshold is $50, higher than some sites.
Payout, through perksplus is 100% reliable but takes 5-13 days still through paypal.
Customer service never credits rare glitches of surveys, meaning expect 1 out of 30 surveys which glitch are forfeit.

Its a wonderful site, one of my favorites by far, completely reliable and honest, but with a few issues they could work on.

Stiffed me on my rewards

September 8, 2013 by Dan from United States

I have been a member of Global for a couple of years now with no problems. Then in August I redeemed my points for a couple of amazon gift cards. After a month of not receiving them I contacted them via email. I got an automated email back stating that a representative would review and reply back to it. After a week passed with no word I sent another email that ended in the same results. It's now been 2 months and they have not contacted me nor sent me my gift cards. I will not be doing anymore surveys from them unless I am sent the gift cards I am owed.

The worst customer service I've EVER encountered

September 5, 2013 by alissa from United States

I've been trying to get ahold of someone for about a week now... I've gotten 0 responses or solutions to my account. Nothing but forwarded messages. Fantastic..
