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+

Stay Away

July 17, 2013 by Bernard from Australia

I've been with GTM for many years now, when both my wife and I joined their panel. I've got a few cheques in the past. However, I've been saving my points for a large $200 cheque and when I cashed it in, I never saw my money, my accounts were cancelled and after I send probably around 25 emails of complaint to both GTM and their parent company, I finally got an email back saying it was due to Fraud, and I was maintaining multiple accounts. This, even when I told them that my wife and I had joined at a time when they said it was one account PER PERSON, but now they've changed their rules to one account PER HOUSEHOLD. Instead of informing me of this, they kept quiet, let my wife and I do the surveys, and when I tried to cash them in (as I was doing all the surveys quite regularly unlike my wife), they simply deleted the accounts, so I lost my money and all the time (probably 14-18 months of work). I would stay away from them - there's several other survey sites that pay well, and that have good customer service if you have a problem (Had the same problem with duplicate accounts for another company, and when I explained that my wife and I ahd created accounts, they simply said they understand but as the rule is only one per household, I must choose which one I want.. Global Test Market was not that ethical - they simply cancelled BOTH accounts (without paying me out either). STAY AWAY

fast becoming a total rip-off

July 16, 2013 by Diane from United States

Lightspeed has done it again! They just took over the site and now everybodys getting screwed! They owe me $50 for over 2 months-bet I'll never see it. Inquiries get responded to by canned emails that really have no relationship to the inquiry and you cannot get through to anybody from the phone # they supplied to SP. Now I think they have voided my account. My account # was missing from my last inquiry and though I still get emails with surveys, the link to them is non-working. So I'm out another $25 from accumulated points What a total WASTE!

The most dishonest company

July 16, 2013 by Mike from United States

This company simply does not pay and have no customer service (or at least not working one). Requested a check more than one year ago - haven't received. Contact customer service almost evey day (more than 100 requests already) - NO response. Contacted them through Facebook - answer "we can't help". Do not waste your time.

Going downhill fast!

July 7, 2013 by Toni from United States

I have been a member of this panel for about a year, and until lately, it's been O.K. They would award you a $50.00 once you accumulated 1000 points. It took quite a while to receive it (5-6 weeks). Lately, there have been changes. For the same reward, one now has to accumulate 1100 points, which represents a 10% decrease in pay for panelists. They now also have a number of other available rewards, for a variety of points...problem is, you have to accumulate 1000 points to claim ANYTHING, even something worth only 240 points. It is set up so almost nothing is valued at exactly 1000 points. It seems like they wish to make it as difficult as possible to redeem points. I have written to them with these issues, but have received no meaningful response at all, just a "form letter" email, having nothing to do with my issues. One wonders if this company is in financial difficulty, and is trying to "make a go of it" by penalizing its panelists? I haven't unsubscribed yet, but they are at the bottom of my list of surveys to take.

global test market blows

June 22, 2013 by Mike from United States

I redeemed 1000 points in Nov '12 and Dec '12. It is now June '13 and I have got ZERO checks. I've emailed them numerous times of this span of time with an answer "oh, theyre part of our U.S. teams, I'll check with them". Sounds like everyone there passes the buck around and nobody takes care of business. It takes forever to earn 1000 points, which is $50....and over 6 months to get the money if at all? Don't even waste your time guys
