Compensation/Rewards
MarketPoints redeemable for cash (check). Global Test Market will soon switch to Paypal.

Global Test Market rewards panel members with MarketPoints for every online survey member complete. Unlike most companies that only enter you into sweepstakes you'll receive money for every online survey you take, even if it turns out you are ineligible to complete the survey - you will get 5 MarketPoints if you disqualify for the survey. Once you reach 1,000 MarketPoints, you can redeem your balance for $50 U.S. dollars.

Update: Global Test Market will introduce a new reward program in the near future. According to GTM's blog, "This program will offer you opportunities that go beyond incentive checks. Soon, you will be able to redeem your MarketPoints against a payment with PayPal or check cards, or exchange for merchandise or gift cards, you’ll even be able to select and send a gift to a friend. Last but not least, starting next month, we will also introduce a sweepstakes program."

My Experience

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 their surveys almost daily.

2. GlobalTestMarket rewards members market points for completing their online surveys, usually each survey worth 5 - 50 market points, and each market points worth 5 US cents. If you don't qualify a survey, you still get 5 points which worth a quarter. That's much better than nothing!

Update on Jan.31, 2010:
Now Global Test Market's surveys usually pay 35 - 40 points, and usually they don't give you 5 points if you disqualify for a survey (I say usually because I did once got 5 points I disqualified for a "5 - 40" points survey recently). Now they also have sweepstakes surveys, even though for me most of the surveys I have been receiving offer points.

Even though I still think GlobalTestMarket is a great survey company, I am disappointed at this change (I am sure others feel the same way), therefore I have downgraded my rating for GlobalTestMarket to 4.5 star.

3. GlobalTestMarket does require members have 1000 market points to request payout. However, since you have lot of surveys opportunities and even got 5 points if disqualify for a survey, the points adds up quickly.

4. GlobaTestMarket does pay! - I never have any problems getting paid by them. You might need to wait 4 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).

Other Notes
Just a little tip: sometimes their surveys fill pretty fast, so you probably want to response their surveys as soon as possible.

GlobalTestMarket accepts members worldwide!

GlobalTestMarket is one of the best online paid survey companies, and I highly recommend it!

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.

Brian - Last Straw

|2010-07-10 08:34:26

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...

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.

Michael - Average at best

|2010-06-08 21:58:37

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.

Lee - re: Good Company

|2010-05-30 07:25:16

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.

Therese - BBB

|2010-05-14 08:20:54

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".

mlynn

|2010-05-13 18:29:17

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!

Therese - Don't tell customer service what you really think

|2010-05-13 12:45:42

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:

Nathan Flaminio - Still haven't gotten paid...

|2010-05-07 04:56:21

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.

Inez - survey

|2010-04-02 08:24:03

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.

straycat - Had to kick them to the Curb

|2010-01-30 05:32:44

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.........

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.

Esther - re: Has something changed?

|2009-12-07 18:59:37

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.

DIERIGJ - GTM -- NO RESPONSE

|2009-11-10 04:23:41

I had posted a comment on their blog site over a week ago and it stayed unposted. I checked it today and it was removed and not answered....... My question was why the change to sweepstakes and no more 5 points for disqualifying. I'll be an even older man when I reach the next 1000 points!

Lee	\|2009-11-09 10:39:45

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.

Leaf - Not as good as it was

|2009-11-08 19:57:50

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.

Golgotha

|2009-11-07 07:38:03

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.

Velda Smith - GTM

|2009-11-04 20:31:50

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

mlynn

|2009-11-04 09:49:26

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!

Hidingsomething - GTM Changes

|2009-11-04 05:47:26

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.

mlynn - re: Has something changed?

|2009-11-03 11:23:12

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.

DIERIGJ - Has something changed?

|2009-11-02 04:18:39

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..!

Velda

|2009-10-01 12:40:31

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

mlynn - re:

|2009-09-30 13:35:05

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!

Velda

|2009-09-30 08:01:58

I don't think this is 5 star every time i get surveys then they say i don't qualify for any of them. Im not happy with them i would give them 3 star. Is this really a good site? Thank You.. Velda

kbennette200 - Very good

|2009-07-20 17:02:06

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.

Jennifer Waggoner

|2009-06-29 11:58:20

Can anyone please let me know if they recently cashed out and did not receive a reward confirmation email?

autena

|2009-05-12 12:59:14

I do not like this site. I filled out their profiles, got points for that, finally got a survey. Didn't qualify for it, but was directed to other surveys for which I didn't qualify. Finally got one I qualified for, but never got points. Wrote to them & it took forever to get a reply-- they wrote that the problem was marked as solved, which it was not. When I re-checked the website, I lost the profile points. Finally I removed myself from their list.

mlynn

|2009-03-25 13:28:51

I would suggest you fill some of their "profile surveys".. check out my "Paid Survey Tips" thread at the message board regarding filling profiles.

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?

John D.

|2009-02-09 07:36:53

I love GTM! I would log into your account and check the bottom of the page. There are usually current surveys available to you once you log in. Surveys do go very quickly due to them being such a great site to work with. I've collected almost $500.00 over the last few years with them.
They are one site I log into daily to check for open surveys.

medicswife2002

|2009-01-31 11:35:26

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!!

medicswife2002

|2009-01-25 20:21:56

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.

Mei	\|2009-01-23 13:59:04

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:

Dear Mrs.Castle,

According to our records, your account was not in compliance with the
User Agreement, notably Section 3.

MarketPoints expire three years from the date of award and, if sooner,
upon twelve (12) months of no account activity.

GlobalTestMarket reserves the right to terminate any account suspected
of User Agreement violations and further forfeit all MarketPoints
earned from said account.

Best Regards,
Tomislava Recheva
Customer Service

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! :roll

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 :grin

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.

do they offer money sending by PayPal?

Leaf	\|2008-11-01 15:42:12

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.

Mei	\|2008-10-13 09:52:40

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!
