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. Update Review 11/17/2009 I am a member of GTM for almost 2 years now and most of the experiences have been good. But, as noted already by other reviewers, they have abandoned their policy for rewarding you with 5 points, if you do not qualify. Instead, you get a sweepstakes entry. And these sweepstakes are far less attractive than the 5 points reward. However, after several weeks of doing the occasional sweepstake survey, I noticed that all the OTX surveys are being rewarded with sweepstake entries, too. And as has already been noted here and in other survey review sites, like surveypolice, OTX surveys are the worst: they want your opinion, but do not want to reward you. So now I am deleting all the GTM sweepstake surveys right away and don't have to deal with OTX anymore, which is a good thing.<br/><br/><ul><li>Quality of Surveys<b>:</b> 6</li> <li>Compensation<b>:</b> 6</li> <li>Frequency of Surveys<b>:</b> 8</li> <li>Timeliness of Payment<b>:</b> 8</li> <li>Member Area & Support<b>:</b> 5</li> <li><b>Overall Rating</b><b>:</b> 7</li> </ul> Previous Review 1/14/2009

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:24:53 +0000 http://online-paid-surveys.net/reviews/?p=3#comment-1482 This is another one of the few panels I am a member of. I will agree that the surveys do come often and that they are decent. Plus, if you don't qualify, you usually get 5 points anyway. The down side, for me, is that qualification is hit or miss and I've gotten a lot of surveys that you only receive sweepstakes entries for. I've been doing those for the heck of it but not anymore! Not after the one I got last night! I probably spent almost an hour going through an incredibly lengthly survey - that I refused to finish - that was in No way worth just a sweepstakes entry. I will continue to stay a member because I like that 1000pts = $50, but will only participate in surveys for points.<br/><br/><ul><li>Quality of Surveys<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Compensation<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Frequency of Surveys<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Timeliness of Payment<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Member Area & Support<b>:</b> 5</li> <li><b>Overall Rating</b><b>:</b> 7</li> </ul> This is another one of the few panels I am a member of.

They have recently changed their reward system, however, and not for the better. Previously, you received points even when you didn't qualify to complete a survey. Even though it was only 5 points (the equivalent of a quarter) it will still a nice sign that they valued your time. Now, instead of points, a large portion of their surveys offer only sweepstakes entries, even when you complete a survey. Personally, I don't find sweepstakes entries to be appropriate compensation for half an hour of my time. I sent feedback to their helpdesk inquiring whether this was going to be a permanent change in their reward system. Although the customer service rep who responded was prompt and friendly, he didn't actually address my issue. He merely explained the screening process, which I hadn't asked anything about. A follow-up question garnered a better response - he said that "most" of their surveys still award Marketpoints. From my experience of the past month, I'd say it's more like half. Of course this means that it will take significantly longer to reach the 1000 points necessary for reward redemption. Hopefully, if more people express disappointment, they will return to their previous system of definite rewards instead of sweepstakes entries.<br/><br/><ul><li>Quality of Surveys<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Compensation<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Frequency of Surveys<b>:</b> 8</li> <li>Timeliness of Payment<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Member Area & Support<b>:</b> 8</li> <li><b>Overall Rating</b><b>:</b> 7</li> </ul> I have made several hundred dollars over the past few years with this survey panel.

There is one problem. GTM sends to many OTX surveys. OTX is oD us. You spend time and get nowhere. I've done high paying surveys and interactive things through GTM, and In about four years, I've made $800 of them. You'd do well to try these guys, but if OTX pops up, you'll be put in a loop and waste your time. I have got into a couple of online interactives with these folke, and if you can stick an hour of bollocks from nitwits and provide an intelligent opinion, you can make $20-30 for a halfway entertaining hour. It's a quite fair panel and you can make a little ready cash.<br/><br/><ul><li>Quality of Surveys<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Compensation<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Frequency of Surveys<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Timeliness of Payment<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Member Area & Support<b>:</b> 4</li> <li><b>Overall Rating</b><b>:</b> 7</li> </ul> I’ve made a relative bundle on GTM.

The way the website looked kept me suspicious. I decided to give it a try and it was better than what I expected. About 3 times a week they send me surveys. The surveys are way too long, so when they give me a survey, I don't want to do it for a few marketpoints. The best part is that its free and ages 14 and up can join with parental permission. I usually qualify except the movie surveys. It takes a long time to get up to 1000 points since they give you like 35-50 points per long survey. Overall, its a good survey website and its really recommended for the people who want a little extra cash. They give you $50 dollars!! That's awesome.

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.

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.

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.<br/><br/><ul><li>Quality of Surveys<b>:</b> 6</li> <li>Compensation<b>:</b> 7</li> <li>Frequency of Surveys<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Timeliness of Payment<b>:</b> 5</li> <li>Member Area & Support<b>:</b> 5</li> <li><b>Overall Rating</b><b>:</b> 6</li> </ul> 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.

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.<br/><br/><ul><li>Quality of Surveys<b>:</b> 10</li> <li>Compensation<b>:</b> 9</li> <li>Frequency of Surveys<b>:</b> 10</li> <li>Timeliness of Payment<b>:</b> 9</li> <li>Member Area & Support<b>:</b> 9</li> <li><b>Overall Rating</b><b>:</b> 10</li> </ul> In my opinion Global Test Market is one of the best paying Survey Panels.

(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.
