Rewards: Market Points Redeemable for Cash
GlobalTestMarket is an international global consumer research panel sponsored by GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.) and it was founded in 1999. Membership to their panel is free, and they offer market points redeemable for cash for members that complete their online survey studies. Members that attempt, but do not qualify for studies are usually still rewarded with a small number of points. A member must accumulate 1000 points = $50 USD (international members will be rewarded in their currency based on the current exchange rate) to claim their earnings.

By and far one of the best survey sites out there. I appreciate that they respect their membership enough that, for the most part, even if you don’t qualify you will earn points (usually about 25 cents worth) and they add up. They send me several surveys a week and I am usually able to cash out every 1-2 months.

I’ve been using GTM for 4 years now and the frequency of surveys they send has only increased, as have my paydays! I received about 5 surveys a week/20-30 a month. It’s great that they compensate you for surveys you don’t qualify for. They’ve never messed up a payment , but they claim 2 to 6 weeks for processing and delivery, when I think it’s more like 6 to 8. 50 dollar minimum payout is also higher than the competition’s.
May 22nd, 2007
I enjoy doing the survery’s for GTM. When I first started out, I didn’t seem to receive that many however, with each one I responded to and completed seemed to help bring more my way!!
I really feel as though I really have been contributing with my opinion through GTM, the survey’s are usually on topics that are quite interesting and based on products that are applicable to my daily life!
Being compensated by GTM for my opinion is the best part!!

I recieve at least 3 Global Test Market surveys every week. They are easy to fill out, and there is always a reward, even if I don’t qualify to finish them. I’ve been a member since August and enjoy the surveys I take. Global Test Market is one of the best survey companies I’ve joined.
August 3rd, 2007
Best company I have been a member of! There questions are straight forward and money can be made easy if you take the time and fill out the survey’s in a timely manner.
August 13th, 2007
I get a lot of surveys from this company but I have a hard time qualifying for them. They tend to be very specific. If you have children and are young you would probably have a much easier time qualifying. This is a good site and the surveys tend to be really fun.
August 13th, 2007
this survey site is great at geting you lots of surveys. the minimum payment is 50$ thats a bit high,but thats also a nice check to recive.
August 13th, 2007
Why so many 10’s in my ratings, you ask? I think that this sight is fantastic for the fact that even if you don’t qualify for a survey, you are still compensated. That is great reinforcement to continue on with a company. You are at least rewarded for your efforts!
August 13th, 2007
I’m a new member, till now no 1 survey appear to me, but as I’v study the site I understand is a very good one for people which are more lucky than me and live in other cuntry. As for me, still waiting and hopping to receive my first survey…
Success, you are good for sure!
Thank you
September 4th, 2007
So nice!
September 14th, 2007
While the number of surveys is great, it is very hard to qualify. I usually qualify for 25% of them, but at least they give you points for just taking the screener.
My only problem is the length of time it takes to get paid. I cashed out last June and it took till september to get my check.
October 3rd, 2007
I really enjoy this company and have just received a $50.00 check from them. It took around 4 weeks or so, but I was happy to receive it!
Overall they’re really good company and I enjoy taking surveys with them. I usually recieve 50-100 for their surveys, but they have sent a couple 200 and 300 point surveys, I however didn’t qualify for them.
Again, a great company that you should hesitate to sign-up with!

I’ve upped my previous ratings following the reinstatement of my account along with an apology for including me (and others) in their list of fraudulent members. There was, apparently, an ‘error’ in their system. Reassuring to know that they have acknowledged the fault, but worrying that such a huge gaffe could have occurred in the first instance. Confidence somewhat dented, hence the overall rating being pegged at 7 - still await my redemption from 7 weeks ago, so we shall see.
October 5th, 2007
I previously gave Global poor ratings because they unjustly accused me of fraudulent behavior, canceled my account and refused to pay me the money I had earned. I finally contacted someone with Gloal who looked into my situation. They admitted they made an error, issued several apologies and reinstated my account. I have been a member for two years and I find it troubling that they can take such drastic action and not even allow me to defend myself. While Global and other survey companies have every right to weed out fraudulent activity they need to be more judicious about how they do it. I was met with nothing but a cold brickwall with customer service and if I had not escalated the issue I would probably still be banned. It is going to take a while before Global fully wins back my confidence and near perfect scores I would have given them at one time.
October 16th, 2007
I did surveys for this company for a few years and got two $50 checks from them over time. But several months ago they didn’t send me a check I requested and promised they would send it next month. Then I started noticing that they started to deduct points from my account from time to time, then they stopped sending surveys. Then they contacted me and said that there was an error in their system and my account was closed as fraudent. They apologized and said my account is OK now but I haven’t received my $50 or a single survey ever since. I tried to contact them numerous times. They still owe me around $80 (including the points I accumulated since I requested that last check).
October 29th, 2007
I joined in October of 2006 and have had no problems. To date I have cashed out 5 times for over $300.00.
October 31st, 2007
Global Test Market is just O.K.
They take their sweet time to pay you, you will get paid. I have completed 150 surveys on this site.
Customer service is arrogant and slow to admit any mistakes on their part.
November 12th, 2007
Most of the surveys i do waste time. After i do quite a few questions, i find out that i don’t qualify. There should be a less time comsuming way to determine qualification
November 12th, 2007
This is my favorite survey site ever. You do get a good number of surveys and when you don’t qualify for the survey, you still get 5 points for trying. You need 1000 points to get $50.
I have been paid out by this site three times since I have been with them for over a year. They do take a few months to get the check though. However I always do get it.
November 21st, 2007
I have made 1000 oints just now.I have joined global test market almost one year ago.I know the survey freqency for the US members are very good.But this is not good enough for us(like India).I also disqualify from some survey.Afterall I found it very good site.
December 3rd, 2007
I have been a member for over a year and have had no problems with my account or payments. I was able to cash out over 5 times as well.
December 10th, 2007
is good
December 17th, 2007
I’ve tried a few other survey programs, I feel Global Test Market is a fair site that doesn’t require a sign up fee. If your willing to take the time to “Fully Complete” a profile for yourself, many surveys can be in your via email box in just a few days. Be open minded while filling out the profile section. Patience is the key to these surveys; Some can be long and boring… “But they are worth it later down the road, more will follow in your box by taking as many as possible” 1000 points = $50.00 dollars. You can cash out anytime you have reached this amount or are welcome to let the cash build up for an even nicer check. The break down is just about $0.05 cents per point. So you do the math. As of now, I only use three sites to take surveys, “That I didn’t have to pay to sign up” It’s a great way to make some extra cash or shopping money. In all honesty, it’s easy to make well over $200 per month or more depending on your time “I have other things to do, so my surveys come last”
January 5th, 2008
I have been doing there surveys for quite a while and enjoy them there points are starting to add up i would have more but i not always on the computer great job so far sandy from canada
January 5th, 2008
its a best Survery site i see
January 6th, 2008
I’ve been with this panel for years. I get all kinds of surveys and products to try and keep. I recommended it to all my friends I even got more points for it!! I’ve totalled approx. 200.00 last year and many many products. I love this you should join!
January 12th, 2008
I have finally reached the point where I can redeem my market points. I have tried numerous times and the process does not work. I do as instructed only to get a continual sign in page with no way to redeem points. I have contacted Customer Service who than emailed a day later stating the problem would be corrected. After trying again and again days later I can not redeem my points the site will not allow me to proceed any further than the redeem button page after hitting redeem I am placed on a sign in page and this is a never ending problem. Customer service contacted yesterday and no response.
January 13th, 2008
This survey Panel is good in overall,and hoping that it will definitely do for the welfare of its members afterward with a great intention.
January 25th, 2008
i enjoy receiving emails when there is a survy that i might qualify for. Soemtimes I even learn something new from these surveys!
February 4th, 2008
i have loved doing global test market surveys i wish all survey companies was as cool as this one!!! keep on keepin on!!!!!!
February 12th, 2008
Difficult to get surveys for people in India..although I am starting to get a few now..never redeemed cash but hope to do it soon
February 19th, 2008
this site is amazing i take surveys and get money
April 1st, 2008
I get surveys a couple times a week, but after two months I have only qualified for 1 survey, which I got disqualified from for completing too quickly.
April 12th, 2008
I have been a member of this panel for about 2-2 1/2 months now and the experience has been good so far. Even though I don’t qualify for all of the surveys, the ones I do qualify for compensate very well. However, many of the surveys will ask a ton of questions before telling you that you don’t qualify.
However, I have had two problems with this panel. For one, when I tried to register, my registration e-mail was accidentally marked as spam and deleted. It took customer service about 2 weeks to re-send the registration e-mail. Second, I was 15-20 minutes into a rather bizzare survey on the attitudes of young men when in the middle of the survey I was notified that I had “given fraudulent answers” and was therefore disqualified and would receive no compensation! I’m not sure why I received this notice since I gave nothing but honest answers!
Overall this is a good panel to join, but I would only recommend it if you have a lot of time to kill and patience for the disqualifications.
April 23rd, 2008
I ENJOYED ALL THE SURVEYS THAT I TOOK SO FAR.I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
April 29th, 2008
I have had a love-hate relationship with Global Test Market. I have been a member since October ‘07. It took 5 months to finally accumlate enough points to cash out. Their surveys don’t come as often as other companies and I rarely qualify. But, I didn’t have to take that many surveys to qualify for the 1000 points and I cashed out for $50. So…for very little effort, I made some decent money. The payment was sent out in a timely manner. I was going to write a review earlier, but I had sent customer service an email and wanted to see how long it took to respond. It’s been over a month and I have had no response. They also started a new system so if you don’t qualify for a survey, you are “sent off” to see if you qualify for another survey. Funny thing…I don’t qualify and when they send me off to see if I qualify for a different survey, well…it’s basically the same surveys over and over again. Very strange. But, I’ll keep doing them because there really isn’t much work to do to earn those $1000 points.
May 4th, 2008
I listed compensation and timeliness as average, only because I have yet to earn enough points to get a payment. I agree with others that I do not qualify for a lot of surveys. It does get a bit aggravating when you don’t qualify after having answered many questions. But when I do qualify, the points are worth a nice amount. I am only a few short of my 1000 points to redeem. I would recommend if you have the time to spare.
May 10th, 2008
I registered with them 5 month ago. I got only one invite I completed,$5 worth. Awful customer service, they only answer after 2-3 weeks. People over 45 might not be their target population or maybe the economy is slowing down and surveys are sent seldom.
May 19th, 2008
have been a member for many, many months. surveys don’t come from this company nearly as often as other companies and i seldom qualify. so far, i have 165 points. sometimes global test market awards 5 points if i don’t qualify for the actual survey. sometimes they don’t. can’t figure out when and why they do this. but, at the rate i am going, i won’t reach the minimum requirement of 1000 points until the year 2010. obviously not one of the best sites.
May 20th, 2008
they still give you points even if you dont qualify and those nonqualification points add up to money within a few months
May 22nd, 2008
i also have been on tis panal for a few years you get alot of surveys the more you get the more money u get its easy 2 understand and is a lot of fun
May 23rd, 2008
Several time consuming surveys ask a large amount of questions then disqualify the member and I am not sure if this is a method to get most answers without payout (points. The disqualification could be asked up front.
June 1st, 2008
If you are able to qualify for surveys, it can be rewarding, but often times I don’t qualify (although I can take a bunch of them, not qualify, and still add up points, which is nice.)
June 16th, 2008
HARD TO QUALIFY!
I couldn’t qualify for 70% of the surveys offered, including some that were BIASED: I couldn’t take sport surveys (even though I love sports), or a few technology ones (really like technology) because I’m a female. Despite not being able to qualify, they give you a few points for those that might finally add up over the decades, so you can finally cash in your points.
June 23rd, 2008
Earlier GTM was not bad,but recently for sometime they are not paying even after accumulating the points.They keep on sending reply they will send fresh check after repeated request for payment.But it never arrives,so it is a total waste of time n energy.
June 23rd, 2008
I am new to this site (one week), but haven’t had any problems with it yet. I’ve already qualified for a survey and have made it 1/5 of the way to chashing out for $50.
July 18th, 2008
its allright i suppose
July 20th, 2008
I’ve been using GTM for years as well as other survey companies, and GTM has always been one of my favorites. The money adds up very fast and have had checks usually for over 150 per check before i cash out. At first their point system was odd to me but i got used to it fast. One of the best paid survey companies out there by far!
July 24th, 2008
On average, I receive about 5 surveys a week, and to date since I joined 1 month ago, I completed 19 surveys + the additional 9 profile surveys, of which I have earned a total of 460 points, or a little less than $25.00. That’s my history in a nutshell. I don’t even remember qualifying for most of them, but you still earn 5 points just for trying, which is always nice.
On the site, they list all the surveys you have been invited to and which ones you completed, but they sort them by survey number, rather than by date. They also don’t tell you what the survey was, which makes this system a little confusing. That said, the surveys are frequent and aren’t too long, at about 20 minutes, and the compensation is good. You can cash out 1000 points for $50.00. What more can you ask for? It’s one of my favorite survey panels. I highly recommend it.
August 4th, 2008
Doesnt get a lot of money but very secure and legit.
August 7th, 2008
I find it average,but more suveys need to be added
August 11th, 2008
Its alright.
September 5th, 2008
Global test market is a very good survey company but you hardly qualify for the sureys. I have been a member since june and have around 400 points and at least 70-100 are from the compensation for trying. I do get many surveys. I have so many pending I can’t get them all done. I would recommend this since I don’t have time for most I can’t take the surveys but if you have an hour or so a day sign up
September 12th, 2008
Global Test Market is an excellent survey company but you hardly qualify for the surveys maybe due to my present location
September 14th, 2008
I ENJOY EARNING MONEY IN THIS COMPANY.. ITS VERY EASY AND A SURE MONEY.. I WISH I COULD EARN MORE,,,
September 17th, 2008
they are one of the best online survey groups I have ever used.

Previous Review (December 17,2007)
Speaking for Canadians, this site requires a huge amount of patience. When filling out surveys, some will ask a load of questions before telling you you don’t qualify. I find that less than half I don’t qualify, which can be really annoying at times. However, when you reach 1000 points and cash out for 50$, it’s quite a nice compensation. Although people who fit the profile for more of the surveys will have a different view, the others who rarely qualify for anything will be quite dissatisfied with this site. Even for non-qualifiers, you still get 5 points, which would mean 200 unqualified surveys till you get paid. This is one of the more frequent survey-sender sites, because every couple of days I seem to be getting one. This one’s not for those looking for quick cash, but rather later.
Updated Review (September 18, 2008)
Global Test Market has changed a fair amount since last year. However, this site requires a huge amount of patience- mainly being the cashing out problem. As an update, after a few months since my last review, the amount of surveys have increased dramatically. When filling out surveys, almost all of them will ask you a bucket load of questions before telling you you don’t qualify. They have done this for a long time. I find that qualifying isn’t too bad at this time, but it’s still frustrating when you don’t. However, when you reach enough points to cash out, the compensation is excellent.
Although people who fit the profile for more of the surveys will have a different view, the others who rarely qualify for anything will be quite annoyed- the frequency of them and the fact that you get points for not qualifying as well, will cause people to stay with them. This is one of the most frequent survey-sender sites, even if you don’t qualify for most of them, you’d be still sent a lot. Again, patience is required for this survey site- good for a casual surveyer, not for those looking for a quick buck.
September 29th, 2008
this website is’nt that bad but the rewards and surveys could be more interesting.
October 10th, 2008
Global test market says money to be made everyday but there are very few surveys to do.
October 11th, 2008
reccommended good money earner
October 20th, 2008
Would love to rate excellent, but recent problems affect this. For the last month there have been many problems; including subtracting points instead of adding. They switched software and it cost me 300 points ($15) and so far are not responding. They claim to have it fixed, but are still not crediting for completed surveys; only the 5 points for screening out.
October 21st, 2008
I joined GlobalTestMarket I want to say back in May of this year. Surveys are usually pretty simple. And sometimes they are not always short. GlobalTestMarket will sometimes send you a product to test and keep. The only thing they ask for you to do in return of free product is to complete a survey with your honest opinion of product. The best part is you get points for the survey,free product. Good Combo in my opinion,(no pun intended). lol Marketpoints (which are points earned) can be redeemed for cash. While I have no been able to cashout yet,I m most certain this site is very secure and legitable. A great incentive for completing surveys.
November 6th, 2008
GlobalTestMarket is an excellent online survey company but I hardly qualify for some surveys and in addition, they have less surveys that I was invited (maybe because of the profile information that I provided). Overall, GlobalTestMarket is Excellent.
November 6th, 2008
its good in present situations
November 10th, 2008
I don’t really recieve alot of survey’s. When i do though they are okay. I would like to recieve one.
November 12th, 2008
They are fantastic. I enjoy taking surveys from this site, and if/when a problem arises just email them and they promptly respond and take care of it.
A wonderful site, with good pay rewards.
November 15th, 2008
For the last 6 weeks, they seem to have totally lost track of surveys I have taken, and how much compensation I am due. You can only contact them by email, and all they send are canned impersonal emails. Their customer service used to be quite good, but now it is bloody awful. Until they get their act in order, I would suggest everyone stop dealing with them.
November 16th, 2008
It’s the best global Paid Survey website I’ve yet seen!
December 2nd, 2008
I AM HAPPY BEING A MEMEBER OF THIS SITE, BECAUSE IS A SERIOUS ONE, I HOPE I CAN CONTINUE WITH THIS FOR MORE TIME
December 10th, 2008
It takes a long time to accumulate enough points to cash out because a lot of the surveys aren’t worth that much.
But still, the frequency of them is pretty good.
December 17th, 2008
great servey corp.!!!! highly recomend!!!!
December 21st, 2008
excellent panel to be on
December 27th, 2008
The surveys are sent to me (sometimes) other than the language chosen by me.
December 29th, 2008
Well upon member I thought what the heck I have some spare time. Well at 1000 for $50 and rare to get anything for surveys even though I filled out a survey to recieve alot of kinds.. I barley come close to recieving any payout.. if they lowered it to 100 points for payout that’d be great.. or make the points at least worth more.
January 8th, 2009
I have been a member of GTM for a little over a year now and have made over $200. I receive a dozen or so invitations a week and qualify for many. You are compensated for any surveys you do not qualify for. Be sure to complete the profile surveys when joining worth 100 points! Payment is typical and takes several weeks after requesting money to receive it. I feel this is one of the better survey companies out there. Highly recommended.
January 14th, 2009
GlobalTestMarket (GTM) is a mixed bag for me. This site hosts surveys from other companies and there is a clear distinction between the surveys from OTX research and the non-OTX ones. The latter are usually fine and I qualify in general in 30 % of the cases, which is in line with most of the other survey sites. However, for OTX surveys I never seem to qualify. I have been keeping track of this and in the last half year I have qualified for 1 out of the more than 300 surveys. And that one was not even hosted by GTM!! OTX offers the possibility of trying to qualify for other surveys, but the result remains the same: I do not qualify. Other survey sites also host OTX surveys, but since I receive the majority through GTM, I am reviewing them here. Needless to say that with all the non-qualifying it takes me 4 - 5 months to finally reach the $ 50 level for pay-out. I have contacted GTM about my OTX experiences, but they responded with a very general, non-helpful “Well, that’s the way it is” message. One of the good things about GTM is that at least you get 5 points for not qualifying of (mainly) the OTX-surveys.
So, my rating for the non-OTX part is 8, but the OTX surveys get a 1.
January 15th, 2009
I cannot in good conscience recommend global test market because, in brief, I’ve tried to quit for months now and I can’t. They will not stop contacting me, or treating me as a member.
I joined about a year ago. After a few months I terminated my membership because I rarely qualified for any surveys. Fine.
Then a couple of months ago I started getting surveys again. I wrote and asked them to stop. They said I would never get another survey invitation. But I did get another invitation.
I complained again. They told me it would stop. It didn’t.
I’ve written at least seven times, each time I get a new invitation, after they have told me I would never get another invitation again.
I started out just wanting to no longer get surveys. Now I’ve grown irritated to the point of pursuing legal means to stop them from continuing to badger me.
Be absolutely certain that, if you join, you want to keep getting survey invitations forever, since they don’t seem to be able, or willing, to stop.
January 22nd, 2009
I have done a number of survery and had never been paid, but I do enjoy to do the survey’s, as a stay at home mom it helps pass the day.
February 8th, 2009
There survey are usally not time comsuming most of the time and on a average get 1 or 2 checks a year from them.
February 11th, 2009
i have join Global Test Market since 2008. But until this time, i just collect 80 point. i only have a few survey which is give 5 to 15 point for one survey. i really don’t know how much of time i have to wait for 1000 point to get $50
February 21st, 2009
Global Test Market $154.00 (1000 points = $50) ($10 minimum payout) ($154.00 rec’d)
GTM is definately one of the best points sites out there and you can earn a lot of money with them. They are my fourth higest paying survey site since I started taking surveys one year ago.
The 1000 point $50 pay out point is reasonable because their incentives are good and they send out frequent surveys. I receive three to four surveys per week and qualify for most. You receive 5 points just for attempting a survey. I am expecting another $50 check from them that will move them up on my list. If they had a PayPal option that would make them even better.
February 22nd, 2009
I receive lots of surveys from them but it just takes along time to reach the 1000 point cashout limit other then that its a pretty solid panel.
March 2nd, 2009
Really Great SITE period
March 8th, 2009
In my opinion, this company overall is the best survey site that I belong to. I usually get 5-6 or more surveys a week. The compensation is excellent compared to other companies. Payout after 1000 points earned equals $50 and is sent upon your request. The website is easy to access and all information or questions are available.
March 13th, 2009
My only real problem with them is the length of time to get a payment and the lack of customer support. (especially when they screw up) Let me share…
I got a letter from them stating that they overpaid me “some” points in the month of December 2008 and that they had taken the points back and cancelled any cash outs I had done since then.
Well, I cashed out once in January and once in February. ($50 each time = 1000 points each time)
So, I go check my account and I have 835 points left; which means according to them that they took 1115 points from me ($65)
It is NOT possible to earn that many points in one month. At MOST they should have taken 115 points from me… but I don’t know… They don’t answer my emails.
This is NOT the first time I have had this happen, although it was not on this scale.
So just beware.
March 21st, 2009
i like it it gives me something to do and it helps me earn cash and i value the fact that they value my opinon
March 25th, 2009
In my opinion Global Test Market is one of the best paying Survey Panels. Anyone over 18 is allowed to join this Panel, and start taking surveys.
They offer MarketPoints as rewards for each survey they send through email, the Points ranging from 40 to 200 or more. Each MarketPoint is worth 5 cents.
They pay by checks. However, checks can only be redeemed once there are at least 1000 MarketPoints or $50 in the Account.
They are very generous in sending surveys and can send upto 3 surveys a day sometimes. They have great Customer Service also and resolve any issues quickly.
I joined this survey Panel in February, 2008 and have so far earned and redeemed 5030 MarketPoints ($251.50), which is a very generous amount since I qualify for most of their surveys.
I would definitely recommend anyone over 18 to join this Survey Panel.
March 26th, 2009

I’ve been a member for about 3 years now and have cashed out several hundred dollars in that time, completing a few surveys a week. Some of the surveys are more interesting than others, but compensation is usually fair for the amount of effort/time involved. All in all, I would rate them as one of the better survey companies… with the exception of those dreadful, time-wasting OTX surveys they offer. I don’t know how much time I’ve wasted clicking-thru repetitive screen after screen on those ridiculous surveys, being asked the same questions over and over for at least 20+ minutes, only to FINALLY find out, oh gee, I don’t qualify for any of their surveys! Worse, GTM won’t actually even credit you the 5 points for screening-out of the survey unless you click through EVERY tedious OTX screener question, which can be unreasonably time-consuming. Sometimes it seems like I get caught in a loop with these; after screening out of one OTX survey, I bounce to another, screen out and then bounce back to the qualifying questions for the survey I seemingly already screened out of, etc. I think out of the hundreds of OTX surveys I’ve been invited to I have qualified for only one or two. Since you really only receive a few cents from GTM for ultimately screening-out of all those OTX surveys and it always seems to take me at least 20 minutes, if not 30-40(!!) to go through everything, I usually don’t even bother proceeding once I see the dreaded “hosted by OTX…” in the email invitation.

I have been a member for quite some time and have always been pleased with all aspects until OTX infiltrated GlobalTestMarket! In the last 2 days I finally qualified and finished both only to be told on the first that the server had been lost and the second one after I hit the ’submit’ button that I had timed out. There went over 2 hours of my opinions (which I am sure they got) and sold to some legitimate company) and my time. OTX gets what they want and then disqualifies almost every time. From now on OTX surveys are XXX out! No more of my time.

I have been a member for many years now. I love that you even get compensated 5 points for surveys that you don’t qualify for. You can cash out at 1000 points ($50). I receive about 10 surveys per week. Basically, it really adds up!!!

I like GlobalTestMarket. Although they are a bit slow in paying, they do always send what they are supposed to. I have been a member for years, and have never had a problem with payment.

This is one of my top 3 sites I belong to. I like that they credit you even if you don’t qualify for a survey. I receive 1 to 3 invites a week from them most of the time which I rate average (for paying surveys).
My experience with support so far has been very good. I had a problem with a couple surveys that were each satisfactorally handled within a week each time.
Payment when I was eligible for it was by check and arrived in the timeframe the site said it would. They might be adding Paypal but nothing certain in that respect.
A good site to join if you haven’t yet.

The surveys seem hard to qualify for and lots of time once I reveal I am an African American suddenly after a few more questions I do not qualify.

I have enjoyed working with this company. They pay good. The only thing I dislike is that they use OTX. OTX sucks.

It seems that every time that I am invited to take a survey, I never am right for the survey. I even keep trying after I’m turned down by the first one but after trying about 6 more times and still not right for the survey I quit, what’s up with that? I’m never right for them, how can I earn anything when I can’t even get one to finish. I find it hard to believe that not one single one of them fit me. Can’t I at least finish one? Linda M. Yard

First of all this company sends many, many surveys, but most of them are from a partner - usually OTX - and I only qualify for about 1 in 6. This is a huge waste of my time.
Yes, it’s nice that they give you a few points when you don’t qualify, but with a $50 cash-out, they have nothing to lose. Most people will give up before they get there and forfeit their points anyway. After 3 months I am only half way there.
Sometimes I am disqualified half way through a long survey. That is not right. And it is not because my answers are inconsistant, it is because they don’t like the answer. They could screen people out a lot sooner.
Lastly, there is no place on the website to see which surveys you completed and how many points were awarded. You have to keep track of your points and see how much your total goes up each time. Sometimes it even goes down!
