Their surveys arrive on average twice a week and I've qualified for most of them. They are one of my favorites as they don't have points pending for months. They are awarded pretty quickly after doing the survey (within 24 hours).

Their surveys arrive on average twice a week and I've qualified for most of them. They are one of my favorites as they don't have points pending for months. They are awarded pretty quickly after doing the survey (within 24 hours). Reward points are between 15 and 40 per survey. It takes a while to reach the minimum redemption amount of 1000 points but when you do its worth $50. The downside is they only pay out in checks, so no paypal. They also have sweepstakes entries. When you don't qualify you still receive an entry into they daily ($300) and quarterly draws (different amounts up to $5000). Their customer support is great and the answers are not generic canned messages. They will investigate technical problems and reward you points for the time it took you to complete the survey. Overall it's worth the time and effort to join this site.

Therefore it has not taken long to reach the cash out point of 1000 points = $50 cheque. In addition to the points earned per completed survey, you also get entered into daily and quarterly sweepstakes for cash prizes. Their customer service has been surprisingly exceptional, with my technical problem being addressed within 24 hours of me sending them an email; something which has often been a problem with other survey companies. Overall, I enjoy taking the surveys, especially when you can see your points accredited to your account almost immediately. I would recommend this survey site to anyone looking for a steady stream of surveys, its well worth joining.

H From: US Comment: For me, GlobalTestMarket have been one of my favourite survey companies. I have been a member for almost 2 years and have earned over $670 so far. They are one of the most reliable at paying out in a timely fashion, which has been a problem for me with other survey companies. That is one reason why I would recommend GlobalTestMarket above other companies; another reason is because even when I couldn’t complete a survey, I was still offered a small amount of points rather than nothing. Plus other surveys have earned me entries into sweepstakes with huge cash prizes – although I have not won one of these yet, I still remain hopeful! Overall, GlobalTestMarket are a great survey company that offer fair rewards for the amount of time spent completing a survey, and it is easy to qualify for a survey if you have taken the time to offer more information in your profile. A lot of people may think it is going to take a long time to reach the cash-out point (1000 points = $50), but with so many surveys on offer you’re sure to reach that point rather quick.

Though some surveys are long, most are fairly quick and all are easy. I've done everything from answer questions about my movie likes to eating free food. There is definite diversity in their surveys, though there are a lot about video games. Date: May 09, 2011 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Allan Davis From: Australia Comment: I have been trying to make a decent amount of money online since about 6 years ago when I lost my job. In those 6 years, I have had a small handful of successes, and a massive pile of failures. I experimented with web design, freelance writing, get-paid-to sites, etc. and nothing was working. I was either spending too much time for too small of a payment, or I was not getting paid at all by shady sites. It wasn’t until about 2 years ago that I discovered survey sites. One of the first ones I joined was Global Test Market, and it’s been my favorite ever since. Since I live in Australia, it’s much harder to find surveys that I can actually do. Most surveys only want U.S. participants, which makes it very hard to make a good amount of money. But when I found Global Test Market, I quickly discovered that not all survey companies were the same. GTM gave me plenty of paid survey opportunities, and they were even kind enough to pay me in my local currency instead of USD. Global Test Market truly lives up to its name, unlike most other survey sites that only cater to U.S. citizens. I’ve had some small problems with the support team at GTM, but other than that, I love the site. It’s helped me make hundreds of dollars over the past 2 years, while giving me confidence in the survey industry, which in turn inspired me to join additional sites and make more money. If you’re looking for a new survey site, I highly recommend Global Test Market.

To help out, I turned to the Internet to make some extra cash. After months of messing around and not really making anything, I discovered the world of online surveys. I quickly got into it, and now am a member of 15+ survey portals. Of those panels, I have 4 which I use regularly and trust the most. One of these trusted sites I use is Global Test Market. When I joined Global Test Market about a year ago, I wasn’t sure if the whole survey industry was legitimate, or just one massive scam. After working with GTM for a few months, I learned that it was definitely legitimate. I always got plenty of survey opportunities, and whenever I finished a survey, the points were always credited to my account very quickly. At first I was skeptical about them actually paying, but once I reached 1000 MarketPoints (the minimum payout, $50 USD), I was paid quickly and professionally. I requested a check in pounds, which was not a problem for Global Test Market. I later found out that GTM pays out in tons of different currencies, and will basically work with the individual to make sure everything goes smoothly with the payment. I have never had any sort of problem with GTM, and none of my mates who are involved in the industry have had issues either. If you’ve been looking for a legitimate survey site to join, Global Test Market is an excellent choice. Date: Feb 25, 2011 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Jack From: US Comment: I am a self-employed man and I run my own business. In my spare time, I do whatever I can to bring in some extra money to keep the wheels of my business turning while keeping my bills paid. Part of this is doing surveys. I have been participating in online surveys for 5 or 6 years now, more so recently. In all those years, one of my favorite survey sites has been Global Test Market. It’s not necessarily the one I earn the most from, but it is one of my personal favorites for many reasons. Global Test Market has a worldwide user base of more than 5 million, with people from 200+ countries. They have a good selection of surveys available, although you won’t qualify for a large portion of them. When you complete a survey, you will be credited with points. The exchange rate is 1000 points=$50. It can take quite a while to reach 1000 points, which many people complain about. To me, I’d rather wait and get a $50 check than get a $20 check now and a $20 check a few months later, followed by a $10 check 6 months later. I’ve had some friends complain to me that they don’t get enough surveys from Global Test Market, but I have not had this problem. Plus, the more surveys you complete, the more money you make. Global Test Market is a serious player in the online survey industry, and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. If you need another reliable, paying survey company to work with, check out Global Test Market. Date: Feb 06, 2011 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Felicity From: US Comment: Out of all the survey sites that I am in, I find that Global Test Market sends out by far the most. Fair enough I don't qualify for them all, but I do make some decent extra money from the site. Pretty much for surveys you either get entries into sweepstakes draws or you get points. For the sweepstakes I can't say I am fan of them, but I try to a couple of the surveys, just so I have a few entries, you never know I may get lucky and actually win some time. The point surveys are pretty good and offer a fair amount of points for surveys completed and 1000 points gets you a $50 payment, paid by check. I guess at the end of the day all you want from a survey site, is a few surveys a week, easy to make their minimum payment and at the end of all to actually get paid. Global Test Market meets all those requirements, so it gets my recommendation. Date: Jan 27, 2011 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Tommy From: US Comment: So I could tell you about Global Test Market and how they send out surveys online and the surveys are worth points which convert into $50.00 for 1000 points. I could tell you that they send out a lot of surveys and I could tell you that sometimes they send out so many that I can not do them all. I could tell you that Global Test Market has pretty fair payments on their surveys and I could tell you that getting a few points on surveys you qualify for is really appreciated. I could tell you that earning $50.00 with Global Test Market and getting paid is really easy. I could tell you all of these things but I won't, what I will tell you though, if you are like me and can use some extra money and you don't want to go work a second job where you are away from your home. If you are like me and want to earn a little bit of easy money whilst at home. Then I got to say, that paid online surveys are certainly the way to go, you aren't going to get rich from one site alone but if you join many sites and there are heaps listed here at Yellow Surveys, then you are it is quite capable of earning a fair chunk of extra cash each and every month. With all that in mind Global Test Market is one of the better paid online survey sites out there and certainly should be one of the Top 3 sites you need to join to get started in making extra cash online. Date: Nov 28, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Phil From: US Comment: I started my membership with global test market in may. They sent me a lot of surveys at first, but then they practically stopped. Then, after a month or so, they started again. Eventually, after 3 months I was able to get the 1000 market points required to obtain a $50 check. However, it took nearly 12 weeks to get to me, even though I was told it would only take 4-6. They have a good system going but do not expect to get fast easy money from doing online surveys here.

Never had a problem cashing out. Date: Nov 14, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Joe From: US Comment: I have been with Global Test Market around 5 years now and in that time I have received many payments from them. They send out a ton of surveys, so much so that I find that sometimes I do not have time to complete them all. This is a good thing though and I like the fact that every couple of days I can sit down and try to do 3 or 4 surveys at a time. For every survey completed you get Market Points, anywhere from 20 to around 300, each point is worth 5 cents. With the amount of surveys sent out it does not take long to reach their payout minimum which is only $50.00. I like having surveys daily in my inbox and I think, the payments for the surveys are pretty fair, I personally think it is a very easy way to get paid online. Well worth checking out an having a go if you aren't already a member. Date: Nov 11, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Brandon From: US Comment: I would have to say that GlobalTestMarket is one of the best surveys panels out there. I've been with them for over a year now and I would have to say my experience with them has been overall pretty good. They seem to send alot of surveys many of them I don't qualify for but some of them I do. They send you payment by check once you've earned 1,000 points. It takes a while to recieve the check but it's worth it. Fifty dollars is good spending money to have in your pocket. Date: Oct 24, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Elizabeth From: US Comment: My opinion is that Global Test Market is one of the top 5 paying survey panels out there, they have had an outstanding reputation among the market research community for many years. They accept members over the age of 18 years from most countries around the world, although I've heard you're more likely to see surveys from them if you live in The United States, Canada, United Kingdom or Australia. Myself being form the United States I see quite allot of surveys from them. Their method of paying is very simple and easy to understand, they use a point system called MarketPoints. For each survey you complete you receive an allocated amount of MarketPoints usually between 20 and 50 points per short survey and I've had several that pay 100, 200 and even 300 MarketPoints for longer surveys. The amount of you points you receive for each survey is always specified before you start any survey. For most surveys they will also award you with some points for attempting the survey and not qualifying (usually 5 points, equivalent to $0.25). Each MarketPoint at Global Test Market is fixed against the USD at $0.05 per point, and you need 100 points to request a payment, this may seem fairly high but in my experience it doesn't take long to accumulate 1000 points (for me it takes from 3 to 6 weeks depending on the amount and types of surveys I get). Once you make a payment request you are sent a check in the mail within about 4 to 5 weeks, US residence get paid in US dollars and I believe other countries get paid in their local currencies. Since joining with Global Test Market in mid 2007 I've been paid over $800 ($846.75 to be precise), and I'm also close to having enough to request another payment soon. Overall Global Test Market is very good survey company. Their surveys are usually fun and interesting, and you are fairly rewarded for the time it takes to complete them. Their email support is good, and payment requests are handled within a reasonable amount of time. I recommend Global Test Market to anyone who wants to genuinely make some extra money online doing paid surveys.

Surveys are frequent they pay by check and you need 1,000 market points to cash out. Won't be hard to do. Usually get 2-5 surveys a day ranging from 20-50 marketpoints. Beware, alot of them are sweeps and not worth it but be my guess if you like doing those. Hey you never know. Overall, recommend them. Nice support staff. Been paid several times already by them. Note: This is only from my prosepective. I have also read lots of bad news about them.

The surveys are regular (which is hard to come by if you are considered part of the international survey list) and the incentives are well worth it. The time quotes on the length of the surveys is sometimes inaccurate but other than that no complaints. Date: Aug 02, 2010 Overall Rating: Survey Frequency: Survey Incentives: Panel Legitimacy: Recommended: Comments By: Keith From: US Comment: I've been a member of Global Test Market for about 3 years and I can honestly say they are one of the better survey companies out there. I get regular invitations to do surveys and have been paid several times. Reaching the high payout figure of $50 can sometimes take a couple of months, but it's well worth it, unlike other scam sites they do actually pay. To sum it up, it's well worth being a member of Global Test Market, and can't recommend them highly enough.
