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+

Waste of time

September 27, 2018 by Mitchell from United States

I can not say anything good about Global Test Market I've been fighting since January just to get the $40 i have earned and it's now march 30 they refuse to even answer my emails. I'd stay away from this company if i was you as I'm just going to cancel my account at this point no need in fighting it any more but this review needs to stay up to let other people know how they treat people who do work for them and what i've been going through.

I told myself if i didn't get paid by 5:00 today i was done with this site it's 5:20 and I've not got my money after so much fussing i got to just get rid of them.

4/06/2018 I got the $40 dollars from them i don't know what there deal was but it's finely over for me. Like i said above join at your own risk. I left them back in April emailed them to take my name off there list it's now September and there still finding ways to email me another address to spam they must be getting really desperate.

Falling apart rapidly

September 21, 2018 by Yerry from United States

Surveys linked from the site never go through, if one does get through the chances are slim it will come back to globaltestmarket to acknowledge completion and if it does come back the points don't post. Takes weeks to get a reply on their "help" site trouble/tickets. Used to be pretty good but collapsing. Avoid this site.

UPDATE: I try to take surveys regularly on this site. However, in the last 21 days I have had to submit six requests for surveys that were completed but failed when returned to their site. In some cases they don't even show I tried to take it. Of the six one has been responded to with an incomprehensible reply that was of no information but denied me the points. Between these six surveys I probably spent 2 hours dutifully taking them to get no reward. Their portal for users is starting to time out again and the responses are getting slower and slower. This survey site should be avoided if you want points for your effort or a reasonable response to a problem. P.s. they did finally resolve a problem that was four months outstanding by saying "sorry, no points." Guess they are making money but you won't.

Bankrupt or just Corrupt?

September 19, 2018 by michelle from United States

This site is quite obviously experiencing issues. I've noticed its turn towards the downside for a few months now. Such a shame. Hate to see a top notch company go by the wayside as they have. Slow pay/no pay, denials about a completion, now after several complaints all I can get is "your email or password is wrong". Noooo, it's not, they've just toggled me to 'ignore'

the following is my review from a few years back.

This is THE bestest site ever. Great surveys, great incentives and quick pay EVERYTIME. If we could vote for the best survey site, this would be my vote.

GTM and MySurvey

September 16, 2018 by Derek from Canada

The tow panels are run in the same place and they don't seem to be able to differentiate themselves, one from the other.
I had never had any problems with them until recently.
There have been several instances where rewards have been confused between the two panels and then the points disappear and the service rep states that I never had the points. When I inquire about the fact that the site allowed me to claim point for a reward, which it will not do if you don't have enough points, I get told that there is further investigation needed. The I am asked for multiple survey numbers, to prove that I have earned the points and on and on.
Then there are the surveys that I have completed, such as a "purchases and payments", for an entire month. When I ask where the points are, I get no response ??
No clue what is going on with them, but it used to work well and I never had a problem.
If you are answering panels and surveys with either Global Test Market or MySurvey, I would suggest that you take a screen shot of every transaction or record every number, surveys and points, so that you have proof.
