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+

Hard work

June 6, 2011 by David from United Kingdom

Long surveys for little reward.
you are often screened out after completing a mountain of work. Makes me think that once they have the information that they want they screen you out to avoid paying

One of the best

May 5, 2011 by James from United States

In the past six months I've cashed out 2 $50 checks, and am pretty close to my third. My only complaint is that you have to reach $50 to cash out. They send me a few surveys everyday, most are worth $1.75 or $2, but occasionally they are higher paying. They've sent me a few products, cologne twice and some pop tarts lol. Their site has a very professional feel to it. I'd give em a thumbs up.

Overall average

May 5, 2011 by Kathleen from United States

I think people confuse GlobalTestMarket with Synovate (Global Opinion Panel). GTM gives you absolutely nothing for "trying." They do pay well, but they also have extremely long screeners that you waste 20 minutes on only to be told that you were screened out. There is really no excuse for that. Points accumulation us thus very slow. You get sometimes 2 or 3 invitations a day, spend 30-60 minutes on them, and get nothing for your time most days. When you DO finally get enough to cash out, they are prompt and reliable. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time making attempts. Also, recently, the points summary has disappeared off of the survey invitations so you have to log on to view them. This makes it harder to see if you have been credited for a completion.

Say "No" to Global

Global pretty much is getting their survey's done for free.By people who are expecting to get paid for doing them.They get just enough information then they screen you out.Must be quite a money saver idea for their company.

Yet they are accredited by the BBB.Direct your complaints there as well.

Love it!

Although I haven't gotten to cash out a whole ton yet...at least this survey site gives you 100 points for trying even if you don't qualify. I also receive a ton of products to try all the time...a case of wet dog food, perfume, shampoo and face wash...So it's a great combo of getting products and making money.
