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 have been a member since 2009 and do not do a lot of surveys but some. I got 2 $25.00 cards for TGI Fridays and since my son eats there all the time, he got them for his birthday. He said "wow" when I told him they were from surveys. Usually I get $10.00 cards from other surveys for Fridays.

Global Test Market are among my favorite survey sites when it comes to reliability. That is: you're credited for each survey you complete immediately (no long-pending situations), pay-outs show up reliably (typically in about six days with GTM) when you cash out, they have a steady stream of surveys, and generally pretty decent pay for each one.

Downsides:

-their surveys that only reward in sweepstakes entries are not worth it and are pretty ridiculous. I'm fine with this if it's the rare one-minute survey, but 30 minutes for a handful of sweepstakes entries? Not under any circumstances worth it.

-once in awhile, you'll be told you don't qualify from a survey after already spending a significant amount of time on it and having the progress bar show 80%. (This happens to me less than 5% of the time with them, but still extremely uncool when it does occur.)

-$50 minimum to cash out. Not totally unheard of for survey sites, but very high nonetheless.

I have redeemed over $250 with them. They send the cheque quite rapidly. Like all surveys it is difficult to qualify.

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.

It can be frustrating to get screened out when I feel like I've spent time filling out answers honestly and it seems like I must be at the end of the survey only to find that I'm screened out after a lot of work! But I've earned about £30 or £40 per month by filling out surveys for GTM. Some of them are quite long and repetitive but it's good honest survey-work! I did about 30 surveys the first month and earned about £30 (which it was when I converted the points to paypal) so it worked out at about £1 per survey. Some of them take up to 40 minutes in my experience so it's not like you don't have to put the work in, but some are just 10 minutes or less and they are totally reliable (in my experience) with regard to cashing in your points. I chose to convert my points to Paypal and it took about 8 days from redeeming the points before the money was in my paypal account. Not perfect but reliable and honest in my experience.
