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.

Thank you.
It used to be that for every 5 or so surveys that I didn't qualify for, there was one I did. And usually I found out I was screened out in less than a minute into the survey, so that wasn't so bad. The past few months though, I am screened out of at least 10 surveys before I get one I can actually take. And it takes way longer to be screened out, meaning, I feel like I've practically taken a survey before I get that screen that says - sorry you've been screened out. And sometimes I DO complete a survey - I reach the screen that says - thank you for completing the survey - and when I click continue to get my points, I get a screen that says there's a technical error. I have NEVER been able to receive my points due me by any means of contacting their people via e-mail. I get a lame excuse - or no contact at all about it. Also, they keep lessening the number of points you receive per survey, and raising the number of points needed to get a "reward". These surveys used to be fun, and required a relatively small amount of time. But now, the time wasted filling out ALL the surveys I'm screened out of, the MANY computer glitches, and the total lack of responsible help if there is a problem, has cause me to say BYE BYE GLOBAL!
If you want a real survey site try Survey Savvy or MyView. This site is crap.
Well, two days later I got an email from Perks that I have an amazon voucher to log-in to my Amazon account, and my Paypal account was also credited with the €20 I wanted.
My experience of GTM is that the surveys can be a bit repetitive, but it is worth the time and effort!
