Global Test Market - Is it worth it?

I really liked them, recently I am not getting as many invites. I was getting checks about every 3 months.

I really do love this survey site and haven't really got too many bad words to say about them. Although I haven't been paid myself I have heard many accounts of others being paid so I don't doubt I will get paid one day. Currently I have exceeded the 1000 points needed to claim payout however because they pay via cheque I am reluctant to claim until I have a fair sum owing. This is mainly because I am a resident from England and my bank charges a hefty fee to make conversions. Have read that they dispatech cheques in your correct countries currency but have decided i'd rather wait until i've earned a little more first just in case. On a couple of other survey sites in the past I have been sent cheques for very small sums of only a few dollar and it would cost me almost ten times that to get it converted....so all in all not really worth cashing in. In terms of the amount of surveys they send though I really can't complain. Ever since I became a member I regularly recieve survey invitations sometimes two a day if i'm lucky although it does die down a little on the weekends. I'd say I also qualified for about 75 percent of the surveys sent to me which is brilliant when compared to other sites. Hope my post enlightens and helps some of you....it really is a good site and if your not using it currently and want to earn a little extra it really should be a regular site for you to stay active with.

It took me quite a while to reach payout as I wasn't really doing some of the surveys they'd send me. When I actually started doing them, I reached payout within a couple of months. It seemed the more surveys I did, the more they sent me, almost as if they were willing me to reach payout! I've noticed though, that I haven't been getting as many recently. It might be because of the Xmas season. Their system is also acting a bit wonky so I think they've been working on that too. I think it's worth it when you're holding the cheque! As long as you don't depend too much on it, I think the program's a keeper. take care...

I really think that Global Test Market is worth the time. I average a check about every 3-4 months and get survey invitations almost daily. I average about 2-4 survey invitations or more per day. Wish I could qualify for every one then I would get a check every month from them but I don't qualify for the full amount very often but the points do add up and I make sure I try each one of them. It sometimes can be a slow process. Last week I just got a check from them for $55 and it sure did help with Christmas and all. They are just one of many survey companies I am with but they are dependable and have paid out every single time I have requested a check. The checks take a long time to come to me but I know I will receive. That is my only complaint with them, wish they had pay pal. Good luck to you and hang in there, the persistance pays.

I, too, do their surveys. Sometimes I get a ton of them and other times it seems slower. the only problem I have had with them is their surveys can be somewhat boring and repetitive. But other than that I have made some money from them and that alone makes it worth it.

Oh yes, GTM is one of my favorite survey panels. I can make payout every month. You just need to learn how to qualify for surveys. After that you will get 2-3 survey invites daily just like me.

Hmm... I have been with Global Test Market for a while now. I sort of lost track of how many points I have. But it take quite a while and I am still not qualified to get a payout yet. But the surveys they are sending to my mailbox. So I do not have to actively go seek them out for surverys. As long as I see it in my mailbox, I will do the survey and get the points. As long as the surveys are coming, I will do it till I qualify for payment. And if they pay me as promised, I will stay with the program for as long as they are sending me surveys and payments. One more hundred points to reach payout. I am sure you will reach it pretty soon!

Though I'm a member of this site since very long, I've not yet able to accumulate minimum market points as I'm from India and there very few or no surveys are available to us.

I am also residing in Singapore, and joined Global Test Market two years ago in November. I have been occasionally getting survey invitations but nearly half the time, my demographics don't qualify me to take the complete survey and earn the market points. In these two years, I have been paid twice (that is USD$100) and I am nearly half way to reaching my third 1000 points for a payout. I think for us here in Singapore, there are not that many survey sites that we can actively participate in to earn some money, and Global Test Market is one of them.

yes dude, its really worth it. Till now I received 3 checks and waiting for 4th! They really pay you. I get te check in my local currency.

It took me months and was paid by the site couple of months ago http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1759052.aspx I should be due another payout soon as they send regular surveys, I get a minimum of 5 a week, although I may not qualify for some of them, still get a few points for attempting

I've got paid once by check, it took me about 2 months to reach 1000 points. Now my goal is to gain around 10,000 points and then cashing out. :)

Global test market is really worth it, i just got my check few days ago $115, no bad for a survey site. I managed to accumulate several thousand point before cash out, this is the second time i received from them. Although the check can take 6-8 weeks to reach you, it is definitely a trusted site if you do not mind the long wait, bottom line is they really paid their members as promised.

I've been a member of GTM for about 4 months know, and I've ever received any email regarding taking survey. Maybe, for North America and Europe still many but for Asia I don't know. As fas as I know, there are now available survey yet. BR.b

I haven't yet reached payout on that myself. I haven't had any for a while as I am in New Zealand and so they don't have that many to come my way. I don't think I am anywhere near payout yet and have been with them for years as well.

[i]Hello SyneyHazelton, I don't care about the wait as long as the sites is paying. I have some sites that are also about a year now since I joined and I have not reach payout. I have some survey sites but I am not getting any survey from them. It seems global test market is worth my time. I'll go check it out. If you are interested you can PM me your link and if I find it alright, I will try to join under you. Regards.[/i]

It has taken me more than two years still i have not made more than 200 points.They also send surveys at a slow rate in India.I try yo be honest while participating in the survey.Thats why it takes me lot of time to get points.

I have been with them for awhile now...and I admit I stopped responding to their surveys because I never seemed to qualify and after spending the time to find out if I qualify and not receiving any points began to frustrate me. Now I think they give you some points for the qualifying portion of the survey. My points are very low on there somewhere in the 100 range...so you are doing better than me on there. I am gonna give them a few more month before I quit with them.

Oh it's been almost a year since I joined Global Test Market and it sucks! I only received a survey at least once in 3 months so don't waste your time answering their surveys. Find other sites which makes you real money online.

Definitely worth it. I have now received two checks from them for $50 dollars each and they do the conversion themselves pretty accurately. So I have got around £65 which is pretty good for free money and just wasting 10mins or so every day. Top site
