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+

very few points reward system and takes too long to payout and their level. Not worth it and I would not recommend

UPDATE: Finally after over 6 months was able to cash out. Took almost 2 weeks to get my redemption. The points to accumulate for a redemption just aren't worth the time spent doing the surveys. I will be closing my account

Global test market is starting to do this more and more lately. They make you finish the entire survey and then notify you at the very end that you have been screened out.
This is ridiculous! The customer service isn't in any way helpful and just uses a generic response that you have been screened-out.
I think something needs to write to an ombudsman.

Survey points and time requirements not shown at beginning of survey so very user un-friendly. It may not be worth my while to spend 35 minutes for $1 so please tell me at the beginning not at the end!.

I have also noticed a general points decrease across the board. How are you going to attract smart responders by doing this? The smart ones notice!

I have also been disqualified by many surveys after completion. Why can't their system remove such surveys from your account or stop you before completion? Once in awhile I can maybe understand but it has happened just too often!

They pay out but i have been a member of GTM for over 5 yrs and I am quitting their surveys...here's why!!! What they have slowly done (over the past 3 years) is reduce the points of the surveys...So, when you got 50 points for 15 min survey...you now get 15-17 points, sometimes 25...So, your workload is already doubled...Now you have to do twice as much to get the same money....Moreover, they have reduced the point value as well...When 1000 points added to 50$, they increased 50$ payout to points value of 1200 and in the last month to 1401. Thus, your workload increased by another 40%. So basically, you are working 2 and 1/2 times more for the same money as you were working 3 years ago.......they are now taking advantage of US...find some other survey company............

when i started in 2012,average survey paid 35 points and they paid out $50 when you reached 1000 points.every year since,they've lowered the pay per survey and raised the level needed for a payout.now the average survey pays 22 points and it takes 1200 points to get a $50 payout. i'm done with them
