Global Test Market (www.GlobalTestMarket.com) is a fairly established online market research panel. They have participants from nearly 200 countries contributing opinions in return for cash rewards. Over the years they have maintained a solid reputation and have an impressive, 5 million plus, membership.
Similar to other survey companies Global Test Market will send survey invitations to your email box. This is why it’s important to use a valid email address when you register with them. Upon completion of a survey you’ll be rewarded with market points which can later be redeemed for cash.
At the current exchange rate 1,000 points will earn you fifty US dollars which is also the minimum cash out level. The good thing about Global Test Market is that they reward loyalty and the more surveys you complete the more points per survey you will get.
The company pays out by checks in US dollars, this can be a slight inconvenience for non US residents, but nothing too serious. After reaching the appropriate level and requesting payment it can take up to two months to receive your check.
So far I haven’t received any complaints regarding non-payment issues from Global Test Market members. The only downside is that it can take several months to reach the fifty dollar minimum cash out point. So I would recommend using this company in conjunction with another income stream.
They just collect the members' valid information, email address and more. They will used it for another business purposes such as email marketing and a lot more. And to those people saying they receive a money from these companies, yes, the company pays them to working to flood info that they are legit.
I do agree with a few people that with their new system sometimes the survey will award market points and then there are other surveys that award entries into their sweepstakes. In this respect, it does take longer to earn points, however, I'm still receiving my cash.
I have also completed studies and been awarded zero points. The customer service team is somewhere in Eastern Europe and they could give a rat's ass if you were ripped off. Over half the surveys do not even work. You click on the link and a blue web page pops up. Nothing to click on just a blue page.
Do not waste your time.
