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.

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.

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!

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

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 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 - congratuluation s, but for those of you still new, be aware!

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Quoting Catherine:

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.

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 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 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.

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

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?

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 !!

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.

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.

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 love Globaltestmarke t! 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.

This site is in my top 5 best. I'm almost at the payout amount.

do they offer money sending by PayPal?

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,
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?

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?

I am having a hard time taking the surveys. I never meet the requierments. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This site has not allowed me to take any of the surveys I have been invited to. Everytime I receive an invitation and click on the link, it says it's closed. This is even on invitations sent the same day!
