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+

Awful Customer Service

October 11, 2013 by katherine from United States

I've been doing their surveys for over 10 years, and generally been satisfied. But any time I do encounter a problem, it's an absolute nightmare, because their customer service is useless! I recently received an invitation to connect my facebook account with my global test market account and install their facebook app. I did so, and once I had completed the process, I was told I would receive 200 points within a week. Months later, I have received nothing, and when I contact them I get the same generic response, 'you screened out of the survey'. I keep writing back saying, 'if I screened out, why was I told my points would arrive in a week??' but they don't attempt to give me any explanation, they just keep saying i screened out. No wonder their rating with BBB is an F!

not paying

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

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.

ruined

August 27, 2013 by michael from United States

They were just taken over by SSI, my surveys parent company. They own dozens of survey sites, and they completely ruined this site. They decreased they payouts by 10% right off the bat and now you have too dig through a pile of surveys too qualify. I was cashing out for $50 atleast twice a month, now it's been almost 5 weeks since my last $45 payout and most of the surveys come straight off of my survey pages, take longer and pay less. As soon as I get the last 225 points too collect I am done!!!!
