My Experience (Updated December 2011)
Global Test Market is definitely one of my favorite online paid survey sites. Here is why:
1. GlobalTestMarket sends TONs of paid surveys, I receive 3-4 surveys invite emails almost daily, there are always a long list of surveys waiting for you if you log into your account.
2. GlobalTestMarket rewards members market points for completing their online surveys, usually each survey worth 30 – 60 market points, and each market points worth 5 US cents. They no longer award 5 points if you disqualify for a survey (which is a little disappointment), but they do pay for majority of the surveys (means offer points not just sweepstakes entries).
3. GlobalTestMarket does require members have 1000 market points to request payout. However, since you have lot of surveys opportunities, points add up quickly.
4. GlobaTestMarket does pay! – I never have any problems getting paid by them. You might need to wait 4-6 weeks for the check to arrive, but that’s normal.
5. GlobalTestMarket also has high paying surveys and paid focus groups opportunities, usually at least pay $30 (600 points).
6. GlobalTestMarket accepts members worldwide!
Conclusion:
GlobalTestMarket is one of the best online paid survey companies, and I highly recommend it!

Warning: Be aware the Mystery Shopper Scam:
Recently when I visited Global Test Market website and checked my account, I noticed this “Be Scam Smart -> Review our FAQ’s” note and I checked out their FAQ:
I was contacted for a Mystery Shopping job, is it legitimate?
If you have received an offer in the mail, by email, phone, or seen an advertisement online offering you work as a “customer services evaluator,” “mystery shopper,” “survey agent” or “customer service rep” for Global Market Insite, Global Market Insight, or Global Test Market, please be advised that this is a scam.
We urge anyone who receives these offers not to cash or deposit any checks, not to send any money to Western Union or Money Gram or engage in any other financial transactions, and to refrain from disclosing personal or bank account information.
If you have been the victim of this scam, we suggest that you contact your local and/or federal law enforcement authorities for advice on how to proceed to recover any stolen funds, secure your bank accounts and to protect your personal information and privacy. (Visit http://www.naag.org for a list of state Attorneys General)
I think I might be the victim of a scam using the GlobalTestMarket name. What should I do?
Please alert your local authorities to the issue. We are aware of some scams/fraudulent activity using the GlobalTestMarket name. If you are not sure if the communication you have received is legitimate, please contact us.
DON’T TRUST THIS SCAM SITE did a 3 hr 80 point survey. complete-webpage failed after finishing-no credit, just sorry ass lamm routine non-personal emails GTM WILL GIVE YOU LONG SURVEYS_ AND AT THE END WEBSITE FAILS _NO CREDIT CHECK OUT COMPLAINTS AT SURVEY POLICE AND BBB!
Martha, have you earned enough points to cash out? You have to have 1000 points before you can redeem – I know it takes a while but you have to be a little patient, and don’t worry Global Test Market is legit and a good survey panel. Good luck to you.
N
ot! happy, about this. First time i get to work in quite awhile, thinking i could trust these guys and, other survey companys. Wonder what they did with our information? I in dire need of money. My family thinks im not even trying. No! they havent paid me, want my pay i did this past summer.
I signed up for GlobalTestMarket and I have to say that so far I am pleased with GTM. I haven’t had a problem with any of the surveys, and I received my first cash out. It did take a while, but I got it and that is all that matters. It seems that this site is legit.
How many times have you been to the movies? within the last 6 months, 12 months. When I answered none I did not qualify. I don’t often go to the movies. then they send me another one of the same to which I responded none. The next time I answered once I’ve been to the movies because it’s true. Still I get the same survey sent to me. Is there more to this? After weeks of having to answer the same question, I had enough. This site is not cool.
Worthless company! Have been waiting for my money for over a year now. Now they don’t even respond to my e-mails anymore. Don’t sign up!!
I was thinking that this is the best survey site till I had this experience.I requested for redemption in the month of July 2011.After repeated reminders they informed that your cheque has returned 2 times & I was asked to send an alternate address.I cant believe this as I am staying in a posh area of Delhi and I have never missed any post so far.Any how I sent alternate address and their reply was the same.More over I was informed that they send cheque 3 times and after that the money is forfieted.I requested them to send me the details of post and the address on which it was sent but thay will not send it.They will not send the money by any other means like bank transfer or Pay Pal etc.So we waste our time and dont get paid.I have 2500 points but I dont know how to get paid for it.All the mails r replied by one VICTOR as if there is no body else in the company.
every 1000 market points you get $50.00, in order to get that you must log in to your account. then go to the top of the website, there will be something called REWARDS, click on it!!!. once you get there, their will be an orange tag in the middle of the screen, it will say REDEEM, click on it!!!. by doing this, it will take what ever points you have and convert them into money. this money will be sent in the mail to your address. the money will be in your mailbox with in one week. good luck and i hope this response helped. =)
[quote name=mlynn]Irine – I am sorry to hear your trouble with them. I understand how frustrated it can be. I had a very bad instance with them – I was taking a very long survey, 45 minutes into the survey, I encountered technical problem and was not able to continue!!! There was nothing I could do but gave up!!! Oh well took me a while to get over that! Anyway, now whenever I took their surveys, once I complete the survey I immediately check into my account to make sure they credit the points (since GlobalTestMarket credit surveys right after you complete the surveys.) If no points show up I would know something is wrong and I would catch the screen shot of the final “you have completed the survey and earned xx points” screen and of course save the invite emails. Hope this helps and hope you issue get resolved.[/quote]
Unfortunately, I’ve got another final message – as I wrote – “The survey is closed” after I completed those 2 surveys. And I’ve sent a screen of message with words “You’ve already passed this survey”. But they just don’t care!

I’m lodging a complaint against globaltestmarket and against globaltestmarket client service.
I’ve completed 2 surveys: 215109 and 214174. From beginning to the end! The first was about digital cameras, the second – about chocolate. I’ve spent 40 min on first survey and 1 hour on second. But in the end I’ve got message “The survey is closed”. They owe me 75 points! But they acting like robots!
That message – “The survey is closed” – I’ve got not BEFOR, but AFTER I’Ve completed those 2 surveys. And I hadn’t even a one chance not to spend those hours I’ve spent on those surveys. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM – that is a problem of organization of their system. I’ve done my gob, so they should do theirs – they owe me 75 points!
Nobody will work with globaltestmarket on those terms!
I’ve spent 10 years with globaltestmarket. Now I’ve wrote and sent about 25 – 25! – letters to their custom service, on two languages. I’ve told about the problem, but got only two messages from “robots”, named Olivia and Histina: “Our system shows, that you haven’t completed the surveys” and “Hi, Unfortunately the survey has closed. Sometimes surveys require only a limited number of responses per category, for instance, from a region or age group. Once these quotas have been filled, the survey is closed. We look forward to your future participation. Best Regards, The GlobalTestMarket Team”. I’ve told them, that there is a failure in their’s system; I’ve sent them screens of messages, that I’ve got on the url, she sent me to check the problem – with words “You’ve already passed this survey” – but they just don’t hear me.
I have been waiting months for a check for $50 USD. They say I have an undeliverable address. If I don’t get my check on their 3rd attempt to resend it to me, they said it’s their company policy to forfeit my check because I did not provide them with a deliverable address.
I have confirmed my address with them more than once.
I get all my mail delivered. I think they just do not want to pay me. All company’s attempting to h ire Global Test Market should think twice. They do not appear to be an upstanding corporate citizen.
I have been waiting months for a payment — they keep saying I have an address they cannot deliver to – I have reconfirmed my address with them several times. I always get my mail
name=”ishad”]My globaltestmarket Account number is 19918503 and they cheat by didn’t send check after redemption of 1035 points and officials didn’t respond to my complaints properly. They mail me that they issued anew check but it also a big lie because after 3 months itself I didn’t receive check from them but I got Payment from mturk via check regularly. So they are cheating the workers.
[/quote]
I am sorry to hear about your trouble with Global Test Market ishad. I have been a member for over 5 years with them and have never had any problems with payments. Maybe the check got lost somehow??? They can re-issue a check once the lost one expires if that’s the case. I would suggest you contact them again.

Update – I don’t qualify for their surveys enough..so I deleted my account. Not as good for me in 2011 as it was in 2010.
I have found Global Test Market to be good. I have received many surveys and a cheque for the US equivalent for $50, as promised. The achievable surveys slow down in frequency when nearing the target, but that might be just my impatience.
It was a awe-inspiring post and it has a significant meaning and thanks for sharing the information.Would love to read your next post too……
Thanks

Hi alazar2681 – sorry to hear your trouble with global test market. I suggest you contact their support. I once also had my account deactivated, but their support re-activated after I contacted them. I couldn’t remember the exact the reason for that…I have never had other problems with them. Hope get your issue resolved soon. good luck!
I had GTM as my number one survey site for one and a half months. Then i cashed out. I still havnt recieved a dime and they started sending me surveys without point value lol loike im going to waste my time. I just deleted them. Finally I log on just to check and my account has been deactivated with no reason given. BS company. Remember they say in marketing if it sounds to good to be true…it is.
GlobalTestMarket sure is not as good as before (the days when you get 5 points even if you disqualify)…I would say for me 55% of the surveys I received are sweepstakes ones..but I still get to do quite some point/cash surveys, surveys are not too long and I like they credit my surveys immediately after I finished the surveys…Still one of my favorite..
I whole heartedly agree! I used to take their surveys and reap the rewards, then they changed to the sweepstakes and gave less pts for taking surveys, that is IF you qualified after the long process of taking the survey disguised as a screening questionare. As soon as I reached $50 I cashed out and closed my account.
It’s a total waste of time.
Please see my previous review when GTM was one of my best. No longer. Bait and switch into sweeps. Prelims which are surveys in disguise then disqualified. OTX surveys which I delete. Rarely qualify and unreachable $50 cashout should be lowered because rewards lowered. I have reached cashout with most of my points acquired before the downgrade and still subscribe because I know that when I cashout I will unsubscribe because I will never reach $50 again.
Update – I receive several surveys a month, but seldom qualify. If their for sweeps I delete them. I haven’t had any problems with them.
Hi all,
Has anyone participated in a mobile/smartphone survey in France or UK this year?
In Toluna or GMT or Pure Profile?
Do you remember how you were rewarded for it?
Did you have any problems completing the survey or spending too long before being screened out?
I work for smartphone manufacturer that paid for that research. We got weird results and I am investigating. Thanks for your help.
Thanks!
Don’t waste your precious time with this company. I have had numerous errors occur at the end of surveys and only got a form letter response and don’t receive enough for completed surveys. Beware
I am in Australis but I wish I had a phone num,ber for them I would feel every penny spent talking to them would be worth it as they will not answer an email no matter what.
They have got to the point of being arrogant and down right rude regarding us as worms they dangle carrots in front of.
AS you say we were paid fairly but now the screening is a survey in itself and not until you have been screened do they tell you it is a sweeps stake.
No blog now it has disappeared so no comments on their site. They are frightened we will get together .
Who is BBB so I can complain. I cannot evenget an answer to my money
[quote name=Leaf]Pays well (5cents a point), average survey 250 points, $50 payout not difficult to reach. Excellent customer service. They are having a problem on their web with itemized lists of completed surveys but they are working on it. Also are starting to have OTX surveys which I do not like. Other than this a great survey company. One of my best.[/quote]I never received more than 45 per survey and no points for screened out now
I really am very very upset with GTM. It all started at Easter we were given a survey which we had to complete every day if we failed we did not get paid it was for 400points.
I completed every day the last day the did not post the survey. I emailed them and tried to draw attention to the fact we had to finish that day. I was getting no reply I guessed it was a weekend that something was off in US. I even kept getting up in the night to check. I went to toilet and had a shower and it was out and gone. I asked what had happened. They said I had missed it they were sorry.
IKt was still in my mail so I did as they suggested have another try but in the end they admitted they had closed it so it was finished on time their end I suppose. Theyu would not pay me anything I kept getting I felt were secret messages from some of the people there. Just being kind but I got nothing and it was not my fault they said their employer had said no so nothing they could do.
I had a couple of small surveys after this but great hollows in between. I asked for my points to be redeem I was so fed up. They said they appreciated I had worked so hard all year they really appreciated my hard work.
After this I have had 3 times been offered special work again over several days starting the following thursday it was for 500 points or $25 UD. I wait and allocated my time from the following Thursday to enable me to complete the work. Not miss out this time.
Nothing arrive, no work, no apology, nothing to even say that I had even been offered the work.I did all the writing again. IO just did not exist, then I received another offer of the same nature. Went thru the same thing NOTHING. I have written, I cannot find ouut where my money is I have written to everyone there I think.
A couple small surveys after you have been screened it is for sweepstakes too late to finish or walk out so to speak.
Then today I have received to more 8 week diaries take 5 mins each thursday for 8 week only 200 points but it sounds less work. I need the pay for the nearly 1200 points. That is why I am still here.
I went to sign in on each of these surveys went to next “page” it just says on a totally blank page otherwise “you have to fill in the questions first”"
That is what it says on both of these surveys. What am I supposed to do. I have asked them if they do not want me to just pay my money and say so.
They have asked NOTHING since Easter not even when I have had a technical fault the survey has just ended and did not exist.
They do not have a blog now or a forum so you cannot speak to anyone else see if there any more complaints. I looked at the Survey Police it just take you to Global Test Markets Home Page
Any ideas email me I am so upset about all of this
frilly
I agree with Brian. This company is a waste of time. You spend quite a bit of time on a survey only to learn you’re screened out. After a month or so, I completed only two surveys for which I got points and I lied about my product usage on one of them because I knew if I told the truth I would get screened out and I figured they owed me for all the time I’d already put in on all the surveys I’d gotten screened out of. Treat people fairly and they’ll treat you fairly.
I belong to about 3 or 4 survey sites and I was really excited about Global Test Market because they seem to give you a lot of opportunities. Granted, I found out I was screened out more often, but that was fine.
I wasn’t crazy about the sweepstakes only surveys, but they were OK, then I started realizing that they were as long, if not longer than normal surveys with points. I figure the less you are willing the give, the less time you should make us give.
The second thing that really started bugging me was taking me into the survey up to 20 detailed questions sometimes until I was finally screened out. I thought I was already taking the survey! The questions they asked are involved enough that they can use them for their research and not have to pay. I also didn’t like the way they handled when you are screened out. “Bummer, you’re screened out, but you’re still the coolest!” I’m not 15 – don’t talk down to me.
My final straw was this past week when I took a survey, I was being told I was starting the survey, I got to the end of the survey, they asked for my demographics, which I gave, and then suddenly I was taken back to GTM’s site to be told I was screened out. I was livid!
I e-mailed them about the mistake, and they just confirmed I was screened out. I e-mailed back (even though they marked my my case as resovled – who does this without giving the customer a little time to dispute?) and asked them to check again, and got another message that after further review, I was screened out. I then e-mailed them back and told them computers are not always right (believe me, I work on them all day) and if they don’t believe me, send me the survey again, I’ll take screencaptures this time so they can see.
You know, I didn’t expect them to do this, I didn’t even expect them to credit my account, but also I didn’t expect one of the biggest insults I’ve ever gotten from a survey site – they copied and pasted their last answer to me.
I’m done. I unsubscribed, I was a quarter of the way to my first check and wasn’t sure if I’d make it ever or not. I have now read some very nasty reviews of this site that they have changed, no longer offer good points, some people say they cancel your account JUST before you reach your first check.
For those of you who have had luck – congratuluations, but for those of you still new, be aware!
i have been with GTM for years.
ive never once had a problem with them.
only occasionally do i get screened out. but i think they are still by far one of the better survey providers out there.
They send a bazillion surveys for sweepstakes entries. Of course, who knows if these “sweepstakes” are legit or not. It’s a matter of time. If you don’t do anything all day but take surveys then you might as well do these.
With so many companies out there, it’s easy for one to get a bad rep because of another. Global Test Market is very professional. I don’t qualify alot but I get several surveys daily. I recently did a survey that gave me an error message at the end so I contacted CS via their website Contact Form. They asked me to forward the email invitation to them but I forgot which one it was. Their rep got the survey # for me from the contact form I filled out. All was cleared up in less then a week.
I just started with Global Test Market so cannot comment on their performance. But I did look up their BBB rating and found it is an A plus at this time. They are accredited by the BBB. The Global Test Market company that earned an F from the BBB appears to be a work at home company- different than this market research company of which we are writing.
Hi-
I filed my complaint with the BBB on May 12, 2010 so as soon as I hear something I will be happy to share with you. By the way the BBB has graded Global Test Market an “F”.
Hello Therese – Sorry to hear you have trouble with Global Test Market and thanks for posting your experience. I also had a couple of times their customer service wasn’t helpful…Do you mind updating us on the BBB complain and survey situation since you are close to 1000 points? Thanks!
I contacted customer service regarding a problem with a survey. The reply I received did not address my issue or demonstrate understanding of the problem. I tried twice to communicate the problem without success. I clicked on the link provided in the customer service response to rate the result and I marked it unsatisfied and marked neutral in recommending GTM to others. That same day I stopped receiving any surveys from them and haven’t received any since even though I previously received several surveys each day and they don’t respond to any of my emails. What really gets me is that I was so close to reaching the 1000 points to cash out. Beware of this company.
I also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Also, the BBB logo that Global Test Market has posted on their website appears to be illegitimate.
There are also plenty of complaints regarding this company posted here:
http://www.surveypolice.com/globaltestmarket
I recently got over the 1000 point mark, but still have not gotten paid. I can’t log into my account (it seems to be non-existent), and I’ve sent two e-mails to Global Test Market that have not been responded to. It’s been a week, and It doesn’t look like they have any intention at all to pay me. As far as I’m concerned we had a contract, and I fulfilled my part of that contract by completing enough surveys to get to 1000 Market Points. I have just filed a complaint with the BBB.
Global test used to be agreat survey site, now they seem like con merchants. When completing a survey that is supposed to get you points you just get sweepstake entries. When you complain they say you screened out.When you have taken 30 minutes to do the survey that isn’t being screened out. How will I ever get the last 90 points I need to claim my money.
For the last month or so, the only surveys I get are to join GTM or sign up for lightspeed.
It wastes my time and I don’t get survey to do. I already belong to lightspeeed.
I was with them for a couple of years. In the beginning they were great and over time they started changing. When they stopped awarding 5 pts for failure to complete the survey and then add sweepstakes came, I got fed up.
I logged in and asked to opt out. I had to search long and hard for a link but I finally
found it. After clicking on to it, thats when it got weard. They demanded to know why I was leaving? So I explained and submitted
my answer. Well then they took me to another page and wanted more information. At that point I was willing to say what ever just to get finished.
Once I finally did everything they asked me to do I read that I would be receiving an
email and thats the only way I could opt out was to click that email link. (I’m thinking this is nuts!)
So the email came right away, so right after clicking the email with in about 3 seconds my software told me it just got rid of a TROJAN. I said to my self why you SOB……………I guess they didn’t want me to quite?? So beware of opt out and make sure your computer is protected because they
will turn it into junk………
I just recently got an invitation from Global Test Market, to take a survey, and was to receive 35 Market points for my time. I completed the survey. At the end of the survey, I got a screen which said
I have just completed a survey on this sight and my mobile phone account has £2 deducted -unsolicited.
[quote name=Catherine]I[/quote]Hi Catherine, I understand your point about Global Test Market – they have made some changes lately. I will give it a little bit more time before adjusting my ratings on them.
I am not happy with GTM I cashed out my points at the en of OCTOBER and I have not receive my check yet, also I have noticed to since I cashed out I don’t get as many pay surveys most of them are sweepstakes.
Of the last 10 surveys I’ve rec’d, 7 were for sweeps and I didn’t qualify for the others. This is why I don’t do sweeps only. Why pay if we’re willing to do for free? Unless a sweeps only is less than 10 minutes and I think it may lead to something bigger, I don’t bother.
Used to be one of my best.Previously no sweeps & 5 points if not qualified. Now most surveys are sweeps & no longer getting 5 points for each survey if not qualified. Previously easy to reach $50 payout but wish they would now lower payout necessary because much more difficult to reach. Rewards are less. Also OTX surveys which I delete immediately.
I receive a lot of surveys from them. But mainly for Sweeps and when I do get a survey I seldom qualify. I’m starting to delete the ones that are for sweeps. I cashed out at the end of Sept. and received the check this week.
I been doing surveys for GTMs for over a month now. I never qualify for any of them. Im have got very many points. I been with them over a month only have 35 points. I’m not making any money like that. I haven’t been happy with them. I feel frustraded. I like doing surveys i wasn’t getting that many i seem i never qualify. Velda
I have received both drawing and points surveys recently, but every time I try to take the points surveys, it says survey was closed.
I guess I wasn’t fast enough!
I remember getting some vague email from GTM earlier this year, announcing a multi-incentive program.
Their multi-incentive program is a bit frustrating because I’m 40 points away from a cashout, but haven’t qualified for a points survey since 10/23. I’ve received 20 surveys since then – 10 of them sweepstakes.
I also noticed that DIERIGJ…Hopefully they still have cash/points surveys and you have to take it as soon as you get the invite.
:confused: GTM has been one of my top sites for some time now. I have been able to cashout over $500.00 over the last 4 years with them. Over the last month or so, many of the surveys that are coming from them only are offering a "Sweepstakes entry". I have had a few with points, but not as many as I use to. Does anyone know what has changed with them? I have not seen any notices on their website. Thanks..!
I like taking surveys i wish i can qualify for more surveys. I know you got Global test market as 5 star. I haven’t got that many surveys. I be more patient with them. I hope I do get more surveys in the future. Thank You.. Sign:Velda
Hi Velda, I rated Global Test Market 5 star due to the fact 1. they have a LOT of surveys and 2. you can accumulate points quickly even if you disqualify since you get 5 points just for trying, 3. of course they always pay!
I’ve been a member for GTM for a while and they’ve always been good to me. It doesn’t take long to reach 1000 points, and I probably only qualify for 20-25% of their surveys.
Can anyone please let me know if they recently cashed out and did not receive a reward confirmation email?
Hi Kathy,
I would suggest you fill some of their “profile surveys”.. check out my “Paid Survey Tips” thread at the message board regarding filling profiles.
Hi,
I have been a member for 3 days now, and have not received a thing. I have received a confirmation email, so I know it’s not going into spam. Should I just be more patient? Thanks
Hi Lisa, can you try use a different browser? If nothing works, I would send GTM an email, maybe it’s something on their side.
I am trying to take a survey. I just got the e-mail but every time I click to take the survey a blank page pops up. I even allowed pop-ups from this site. Any suggestions?
They are one site I log into daily to check for open surveys.
update for me. I’m pleased with Global. I had to double check, but ya, I got accepted on 1/23/09. Today, eight days later, I’m up to 200 points. Thats not bad, I’m already 20 percent towards a payout request in just over one week! So, THANKS for your recommendations!!
well, I was successful with the registration finally, that was by signing up with my secondary email. I have only so far done a few of those profile surveys but to my suprise I got an invite tonight.
That has to be the STRANGEST survey I’ve EVER gotten lol!
It was called brain squeezer. It was a series of tricky questions and things to test my creativity. I swear I was so stumped on a few answers I actually left them blank.
I have no idea if I got credit on the survey site at all lol. I think so, yeah, I guess I did (see my brain broke after that survey)…cause I can see right now that I got 20 whole whopping points after I finished it.
Thats okay, because in my experiences, I’ve noticed its more than likely that initially I’ll get small incentive invites and with enough completions I’ll begin to get more and higher ones.
Oh, and I understand about the rule of one per household. I plan to NEVER attempt to log back in to there under that first account I had (It won’t work anyways plus the lady never wrote me back at all after I asked to reactive that one).
So, I’ll get over there and do more profile surveys and wait around for more to come.
Thanks again for this site, you are now part of my daily routine and since you advised me to get enrolled in all 100 of your suggestions, I’ve been diligently adding at least one new registration a day, usually two.
I really appreciate this site.
Hi Lisa and Brent,
Sorry to hear you have problems with GTM..My experience with them have been good so far, but I do have a couple of suggestions re them:
1. Make sure only one member in your household sign up with them, if you have more than one it could cause trouble;
2. Make sure don’t rush through their surveys and take your time – I recall sawing someone complained about not getting credit because of GMT “accued” him taking the surveys too fast…(I mentioned this tip in my Paid Survey Tip thread at the message board..)
Anyway, this is so far I can think of…Hope it helps.
Hello all;Ive been with GTM for
quite some time. I read all of the message’s and It sounds like I’m not the only one having problems. They do pay but I have problems with getting credit for all of my surveys. They never give me the answer to the question. They just sugar coat it and it
never gets fixed. But I’m not
one to give up. I wish they would acknowledge the earning
at the end of each survey. That
makes to much sence though. I
wouldn’t want to be with out them. It seems like they have slowed sence Christmas….
This site is baffling to me. I saw your recommendation and clicked the link and attempted to register but it told me I was already registered. So, okay, no prob. I tried to log in and apparantly didn’t have the correct log in info so I clicked to please send reminder.
I did that and it obviously recognized my primary email because it said my pw was on its way!
So, I get the reminder email go and click on to log on and dang if it isn’t STILL telling me ‘wrong info’ on existing account.
So, I clicked CS and popped off a nice email asking about problems logging in.
I get an email back – here it is:

So, I was like HUH? I looked up section 3 and its about not logging in, just like what she wrote. So, I emailed back again and apologized and asked if I could ‘PLEASE’ be back in the system since I’m organized and really want to join, etc.
I haven’t heard back one word sinced then.
Geez, lol, I feel so unwanted!
So, I guess I have no choice but to re-register with my secondary email which I really wanted to avoid since I hardly ever go there, but I will I suppose.
I’ll update you on my progress if they don’t send the cops out after I retry lolol
I have joined for about 5 days and i have finished all the profile questions, i have checked my mail, even the junk, but i still don’t have any surveys, when do they come
is there a solution????
thanks
I love Globaltestmarket! It seems like 1000 points is a high amount for minimum payout, but it doesn’t take long to get there! I cashed out near end of October and just received my check today, during this time period I earned enough points to cash out again!! The only issue is I have some technical errors with their surveys, sometimes when I take a survey it isn’t recordeds as complete. I was able to resolve this issues with member support, so I received credit for those surveys. Overall, its a good site, and you can earn alot of cash.
i cannot receive any point
This site is in my top 5 best. I’m almost at the payout amount.
I don’t think so. :sigh:
do they offer money sending by PayPal?
Pays well (5cents a point), average survey 250 points, $50 payout not difficult to reach. Excellent customer service. They are having a problem on their web with itemized lists of completed surveys but they are working on it. Also are starting to have OTX surveys which I do not like. Other than this a great survey company. One of my best.
Hi amirul,
Log in to your account, and fill out those profile surveys.
Also making sure their emails don’t go to your junk folder.
Good luck!
hi,
why did i didnt get any survey yet?i had join them since a week ago..
Hi,
I am having a hard time entering their codes even thought i entered them correctly but there’s still no luck or there’s no successful message appearing.
How can you help me about this?
well atleast they do pay out. the last survey website i used had a minimum of $75 but it takes only 30 mins to get that but you get no money from them
so $50 is the minimum cashout, then? they give you $5 for filling out the profile surveys, which take about an hour…seems like $50 min is fairly steep… is this typical of survey sites, usually the gpt are about $30 and pincone sends out $3 at a time?
Hi Stephanie,
I don’t qualify many of their surveys either. Just be patient, especially if you just started taking surveys. Also even you don’t qualify, you still get 5 points so I always take their surveys, and the points adds up quickly.
I am having a hard time taking the surveys. I never meet the requierments. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Amber,
I know what you are talking about – it happened to me too and I have heard other people compain about it as well.
You got to take the surveys immediately after receive the invite email. One thing I do is I have a Yahoo message to alert me new survey emails and if I see GTM’s surveys, I will take it right away. Hope it helps!
