| Site Overview |
| Global Test Market was founded in 1999 by Global Market Insight, Inc. They offer up many free paid survey opportunities per month and accept respondents from across the globe. Once you become a member you’ll want to go online, login to your account, and go to the “My Profiles” area to complete the profile surveys. This will allow Global Test Market to match you up with more paid surveys.
Global Test Market awards Market Points in exchange for completing their online surveys. Each Market Point has a value of $0.05 with a minimum cash-out of 1,000 points ( $50.00 ). Each paid survey starts with a qualifying section, with the survey taker receiving at least a few points, even if they don’t qualify for the complete survey. Once you reach the 1,000 point level, you can login and redeem your points for cash.
They also offer a referral program via direct email from their site. For each person that you refer, you will receive 20 Market Points AFTER they complete their first paid survey. |

( 9 ) | | | | Global Test Market has really impressed me as of late. When I had first joined them they were this rinky-dink little online survey company, which I didn't really get much from. However over the past year they have grown to become one of my favorites.
One of the things that my throw you off is the small amount of points granted per survey. When compared to other similar points programs, the rewards seem small, at first...But unlike other paid survey points programs, who's points are equivalent to $0.01 per point, Global Test Markets Market Points are worth $0.05 each. This does equate to a slightly longer period before you can cash out (their minimums still 1,000 points), but it's a higher cash-out, $50 at the 1,000 point level.
I currently am receiving around 10 or so free paid survey opportunities per month from them, putting them right around the top of my list as far as survey opportunities. I do find however, that I only qualify for about 50% at the most. But here's one of my favorite parts, they still give me a few points, even when I don't qualify.
Their surveys always seem to run very smoothly and I find them interesting to take. Be sure that you fill out your profiles after you sign-up to maximize the number of invites you receive. All around a very solid free paid survey site. |

| A no nonsense survey company. Reliable & efficient. Before you access the survey you are informed of points to be rewarded; usually 5 points if not accepted & 50 points upon completion of the survey. Each point is worth 5 cents, you need 1000 points to redeem $50. Not that difficult to achieve. I have already received 1 payment & am on my way for the 2nd. Their site is excellent, no hype about questionable sweeps. You can access their informative site to see how many surveys you have completed & amount of accrued points which are credited immediatly upon completion of survey. No need to keep records, they keep them accurately for you. I highly recommend this company. I have found very few survey companies of this caliber. |

I would definitely recommend this site. Each survey gives you 5-50 points. Even if you don't qualify they give you 5 points. You need 1000 points to reach cash out. You can get interactives that will pay you as high as 500 points. Very easy to reach cashout.
1000 points=$50 |

I live in India, so getting surveys is a bit difficult, but this is one site which dishes almost 5 surveys every month. Although none of them are paid, i earn market points for it, which inturn i can redeem for cash sent in my local currency, the only survey company alongwith ciao for Indians.
Two thumbs up. |

GlobalTestMarket tends to list out new surveys fairly frequently - I've received 17 over the last 30 days. Also, it tends to be easy to track what surveys one has completed - on a panelist's Profiles page, they list out survey activity over the last 30 days, and which surveys have active links, are closed, or that one does not qualify for. It occurs quite frequently that I haven't qualfied for a survey (and receive just the 3 point screening compensation).
On first blush, it may seem daunting to be able to garner a 1000 points to be able to cash out. However, I've also gained points for referrals - they give you 20 points after a referred person signs up and completes their first survey. Also, when a 1000 points DO get accrued, it is quite satisfying to receive that $50 check in the mail a few weeks (for me its been 5-7 weeks) later. |

| Global Test Market is one of the best online survey companies. They send out a lot of surveys, most of them are interesting and easy to do. They pay really well: usually $2.50 -- $10 a survey. Though you don't qualify for all the surveys, it is easy to reach the $50 payout minimum. I've redeemed 3 times over the period of 2 years, always getting my check in a few weeks. Great company, definitely worth joining. |

| Nothing but problems for me with this one. Remembered having an account problem to log in a few months ago, which could never be resolved despite resetting account etc so gave up. Just retried to login and when requesting my details it says the e-mail cannnot be found. Yet when I try to join as if a new member it says that someone at my e-mail cannot be used as it already has an account. Frustrating or what!!!!!!!!!! |

| This is possibly one of the best five online survey sites. They send out numerous invitations to a wide variety topic surveys. Any time I have had a problem with a survey, they respond back quickly and are generally very helpful. Many of the surveys even pay a small amount for survey that I haven't qualified for. The minimun payout is 50 dollars cash and their payments are always prompt. I often find the same surveys offer on sites like Greenfield, ect. for much lower cash incentives, so it doesnt take too long to reach that payout minimum. Everyone should sign up for this panel. |

1. Frequency--They send surveys more than most places
2. Quality--Their surveys aren't long and have varied topics
3. Compensation--They pay .05 for each point and you get payout at 1000 points--$50.00--doesn't take long
4. Timely payment--better than most
5. Overall--I like these people because they send a lot of surveys and the pay is well |

| I love Global Test Market Surveys. For me this is one of my favorites. I have cashed out twice in a little over a year and I am working on my third time. No I am not going to get rich from this but I enjoy taking the survey and if I have had any concerns or problems they have always promptly responded back to my emails.The survey points are value at .5 each, and you can cash out once you reach a 1000 points. They usually send you an email to let you know you have a survey and when you click on the link it takes you directly to the survey without having to type in your user name and password. I love Global Test Market. |

| I frequently receive invitations to do surveys for Global Test Market. However, they do not appear to do much of a pre-screener before they send you a questionnaire eventhough you are given an opportunity to fill out member profiles. 75% of the time or more I do not qualify for their survey, often not even demographically. You are awarded marketpoints for the surveys that you complete and they do typically give you 3 points when you don't qualify for a survey as well. You need 1000 before you can redeem your points for cash. They also send you e-mails asking if you know someone that qualifies for a survey they are doing, which can be a bit of an annoyance. I don't really want to do the company's recruitment and screening for them :) As a result of the above I have not accumulated enough points to qualify for a payment, so I cannot evaluate the timeliness of payment. |
