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+

Where are my Points???

March 29, 2011 by Donna from United States

I have never reached the 1,000 pts needed to cash out. I have been stuck on 705 pts for months now, even though I continue to do the surveys!! I sent an email about my missing pts and got a response back saying they would "check into it as soon as possible", well, that was 2 months ago!! There is no record of the surveys you have completed anywhere, so there is no way of making sure you get your points. Don't waste you time with this company.

Never had a problem

March 17, 2011 by Amber from United States

I've been a member of GlobalTestMarket for four months now. I get several surveys a day and I usually qualify for at least one of them. I was able to cash out for $50 within the first three months and although it took six weeks to receive it, I did get my check. By the time I got my check in the mail I was able to cash out for another $50. Maybe I'm just the right person at the right time, but I've never had a problem with them.

Global Frustration More Like

March 14, 2011 by Debbie from United Kingdom

I've been a member for a few months and I'm growing to dislike GlobalTestMarket intensely. You're completing a survey for 35/40 market points (so it'll take a while to accumulate the number necessary to cash out but that's a different issue). Midway through the survey they interrupt saying there's another survey with a greater need and do you want to go there? The only option given is "Absolutely - take me there" or to close the window. The new survey has an incentive of one entry in the prize draw instead of market points. So you lose your train of thought, the chance to accumulate some points and have no choice in the survey you complete. I don't mind being screened out of surveys and being told that I don't qualify but this is just dragging me away from one survey where I've already invested time and thought to a new one where I don't get the same level of remuneration. This company's practices are cynical. I'm off once I can cash my points I'm not impressed.

Complete Waste of Time

January 23, 2011 by Christopher from United States

It took me well over a year to reach the minimum 1000 points required to request a $50 check. They send out plenty of surveys every day but almost all of their surveys I spend 15-20 minutes on and I'm told at the very end that I don't qualify. The incentives aren't very good either. $1 - $1.25? Alot of other survey sites pay more than that. This site is a complete waste of my valuable time.

Just O.K.

January 13, 2011 by Anna from United Kingdom

I've been a user for more than a year and managed to collect only one payment of ?10. It was made quick and smooth, but they don't send many surveys, so I use them only becuse they are fair.
