Rewards: Market Points Redeemable for Cash

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.

I find it average,but more suveys need to be added
Its alright.
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
Global Test Market is an excellent survey company but you hardly qualify for the surveys maybe due to my present location
I ENJOY EARNING MONEY IN THIS COMPANY.. ITS VERY EASY AND A SURE MONEY.. I WISH I COULD EARN MORE,,,
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.
this website is’nt that bad but the rewards and surveys could be more interesting.
Global test market says money to be made everyday but there are very few surveys to do.
reccommended good money earner
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.
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.
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.
its good in present situations
I don’t really recieve alot of survey’s. When i do though they are okay. I would like to recieve one.
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.
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.
It’s the best global Paid Survey website I’ve yet seen!
I AM HAPPY BEING A MEMEBER OF THIS SITE, BECAUSE IS A SERIOUS ONE, I HOPE I CAN CONTINUE WITH THIS FOR MORE TIME
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.
great servey corp.!!!! highly recomend!!!!
excellent panel to be on
The surveys are sent to me (sometimes) other than the language chosen by me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There survey are usally not time comsuming most of the time and on a average get 1 or 2 checks a year from them.
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
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.
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.
Really Great SITE period
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.
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.
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
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.
Very good!
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.
Like most people, I’d like to have more!
This was awesome! I admit, at first i thougt this was too good too be true. But dude they proved me wrong!!!
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!!!
Very good!
I’ve been a member for about a year and I LOVE IT
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
Global test market has some good surveys and their surveys arejust right for a survey taker
