Global Test Market is one of the long-time players in the online survey field, and is very trusted and legitimate. They have a wide variety of surveys available on a regular basis, and their payouts are fair and often generous. If you’re looking to add another survey site to your list, Global Test Market is definitely a good choice.
Surveys through GTM are given a value not in cash, but in “MarketPoints”. These points are awarded whenever a paid survey is completed, or a profile is filled out. Each point is worth $0.05 USD, and there is a minimum payout of 1000 MarketPoints, or $50. Every survey is different, but most award you with 20-50 MarketPoints. One unique thing about GTM is that you will be paid whether you actually qualify for a survey or not. If a survey is begun and not finished due to disqualification, you will still be given points. You won’t get as much, obviously, but it’s nice to get something for your efforts.
While there is generally a fair amount of surveys available through GTM on a regular basis, it can be hard to qualify for a lot of them. There is a lot of surveys looking for very specific people, so don’t expect to qualify for the majority of surveys you start. Thankfully you will still be compensated for your time.
The GTM interface is simple and functional. There’s no “fluff” or unnecessary information, and everything is where it should be. The site is very easy to navigate, even for those who are inexperienced with computers.
Many survey sites have sweepstakes or special raffles, but GTM is unique in that they offer both monthly and daily sweepstakes, so there is a much better chance of winning. There is a $300 daily prize and a $5,000 monthly prize.Every time you complete a survey you will recieve 3 sweepstakes entries, and every time you start a survey but don’t finish you will be rewared with 1 entry, so there are plenty of chances to win!

I’ve been doing this for at least 5 years and have made $50… once. Surveys are worth 20-50 market points. That’s, what, 1-3 dollars. Meh. Lots of them are for sweepstakes these days. And guess how many times I’ve won that! (answer: never). I refuse to fill out the sweepstakes ones. Still, they have a decent number of surveys (always a couple a week at least for my profile) so there’s generally one to do. I get a lot of ‘repeat’ surveys, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. But I’ve never been part of another survey site, so I don’t know whether or not I should be asked about purchases at service station shops once a month or not.
Oh, wait, I just logged in and I have enough points for another $50. I guess I should log in to the site more. So, it’s an okay hobby.
