Global Test Market - Has Anyone Got Paid?

India
August 12, 2012 6:37am CST
Hello friends, I recently earned 1010 points in global test market. The website states that 1000 points can be redeemed for $50 check. I want to confirm should I earn some more points before redeeming those points or should I get those points cashed? Also, do they charge any fee and how long does it take to receive a check from them? Has anyone got paid through this site? Kindly share your experience.

Hi, GTM is a legit site and I have been paid around 5 times by them till now. In fact I have requested a new check in the month of July and I am waiting to receive it.Since you have 1010 market points, I suggest that you redeem all of it now. They do not charge any fee for this and since we are in India, it would take approximately 6-8 weeks to get the check. I am a fan of this survey site and though it takes some time to reach the payout here, they pay and that is important to me. Congrats in advance for your payment and good luck for future earnings!

Hello Oindy54, Wow! You are the first person I have met who has received 5 payments from GTM. Amazing! Following your advice i'll redeem those points immediately, without any further delay. I also like this site, but only after receiving my first check from it i'll become its fan.

Hi! Yes 5 times since I have been earning online since around 5 years. It takes me approximately a year to collect 1000 market points to be able to redeem them for 50$. This was one of the first sites I had signed up on.Good luck to both!

5 times!? Wow... That sounds great. It doubly (or should I say quintuply) ensures that its a legit site. How long have you been around with the site? Both you and Inderjeet have given me a ray of hope. Hopefully I'll reach the peak as well. Good day!

I never seem to qualify for any survey. Good to see that you've reached such a height. I've heard many getting paid from them, withal some say they weren't. But the majority said they received payments. I don't know about charges or fee, but why do you want to wait? Just cash out now, you may never know when they change their mind and decide to delay payments. Also dollar prices are high these days, so its advisable to cash out now. Good luck!

how much time i take to make this money?

Amir, it really depends. Depends on your profile as well. You can make the same amount in a month or in a year. The key is to get qualified for as many surveys as possible. I'm always screen out from the surveys. Thus, I have only 65 points to my account. Good luck to you!

@MIMO_RULZ_111 - You are right, dollar rate is high these days so I should better cash out the points. Even I get screened out many times, but still have managed to reach the payout limit. Wish you all the best! May you too reach the payout limit quickly! @Amir2yara - As Mimo said it depends on how many surveys we complete. For every survey completed we get 35 to 40 points, and even if we get screened out we still earn 5 points. Our profile helps us in getting the right surveys for us, so we should always keep our profile up to date.

i too initially thought it was a scam site as i never really qualified for the surveys probably due to my location as well, so the first time i was able to check out was actually a few years after i joined. and yes i did receive a cheque and it's legit. but nowadays, although i don't qualify much for the surveys, i am beginning to get much more that i used to before so this is definitely my top survey site. i'm ready to cash out now too, the only downside for me i feel is that the cheque takes some time to reach me. sigh

Yes, everyone is saying that it takes 6-8 weeks to receive the check. It is a long time, but it is fine as long as we receive the check and get it cashed.

I have been paid by GlobalTestMarket once. I'm member for over 5 years, but I'm little lazy. So I skip many surveys. (Earlier, they were sending just 2 or 3 surveys a month. But recently there's a survey every 2 or 3 days.) I'm currently half way to my next payout. Probably it may take another 2 months or little more. It took around 2 months after I requested payment. One friend here told that there was no fee for his latest payment, but I was charged around $9 as fee. But the good thing was, the cheque was payable at par in any Branches in India, so I didn't have to pay the clearance charges. I feel like I haven't lost anything by the fees.

I didn't see any decline in marketpoints. I got my first payment in 2010, I guess at that time they may not have account in any banks in India. Now, they might have opened bank accounts in India too. That may be the reason for the fees. Here is my discussion about GTM: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2445838.aspx (I myself can see that I received payment in 25 days.)

I read in the FAQ's that market points expire three years from the date of award. You mentioned you are a member there for over 5 years so did you experience any such thing? Also, everyone in the discussion has mentioned that there is no fee, but you were charged $9 fee. Did you try to find out what was the reason for it?

I read your discussion. Now I am just waiting to see if I get full amount or will they deduct some dollars from it.

Hi! I've redeemed once , a year ago. I got 1000 points after joining about in there for 2 years .But I haven't received the check yet until now. I've writen my address correctly. Actually I wanted to report it, but I was too lazy to report since my friend said it would be useless. Because he ever tried to cash down the check and it was charged about 40 - 50 USD :D anyway, I live in Indonesia :)

Oh Oh! That's really upsetting! Well, you should have at least contacted the admin once and tried to find out the reason for not receiving your check. I am feeling very sorry for you. When we invest our time in some work and don't get paid for it, it pains a lot. Hope nothing like this happens to you again!

I have been a member of Globaltestmarket for a long time. I have received payments from them several times already. It is a legit survey website. Whenever I reach 1000 points, I will require for my payment. They pay by check. So make sure your address is correct. So it will take some time for you to get your money. Since I have to go to the bank to deal with the check and this is inconvenient. I hope one day they can pay by Paypal. I love China

Yes, their only mode of payment is through check. Good to know that so many members have already been paid through this site. Yes, before redeeming the points, I will go through all the details I had filled. Thanks for your response.

I've gotten paid from them twice. They are a legit site. It takes a long time for the earnings to add up but its worth it. I take a lot of time off doing the survey sites but when I set to doing the surveys each day when they come the money adds up a lot faster. I am currently behind right now. I have a bunch of surveys to take with them. The last time I requested payment it took about 6 weeks for the check to arrive.

Oh! That's good. Yes, it takes a lot of time to complete the surveys, but it's worth it. I am eagerly waiting to receive my first check from it.

Yes, they are a legitimate, paying site. I have been a member for a while now and have gotten paid several times. I can't recall how long it took to get the check after requesting it, but it may take a couple weeks. Don't fret though, it will come. Congratulations on reaching payout.

Yes, everyone who responded here mentioned that it took them a couple of weeks to receive their check. Well, I have placed the redemption request and now waiting for the check. Hope everything goes fine and next time when anyone asks if the site really pays I may also add that yes the site is legit and I have been paid.

Hello Prashu, I joined this site after reading several reviews about it. Almost all the reviews were positive. When I completed my first survey and saw the points credited to my account I was really happy and was looking forward to reach the payout limit. I just hope to receive my check quickly. Since you are a member of this site, update your profile there and start filling the surveys you receive. Wish you good luck!

Dear Inderjeetkaur Good for you! I lift my hat to you for having the ability to earn US50 in due time. Frankly speaking, I have yet to earn this amount since I started online biz. But to be truthful and sincere, I would strongly advise you to cash out ASAP. Remember the saying, 'A bird in hand is worth two in the bush' if I may say so. On the other hand if there is an advantage to hold on to cash out then by all means wait. I would suggest to 'hit it while the iron is hot'. Cash in your pocket is anytime better than in other people's pocket. Right? On your query of my experience with Global Test Market I have no experience with them. However, would love to try. OK? That's my take so far! Hope my feed back to you is good enough! Thanks and goodbye. Love: Bro. Joe GBU

Hello Joseph, Thanks a lot for your advice. You are absolutely right in saying, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush". Since everybody here also suggested me to cash out the money immediately, I already redeemed my points for cash. It may take 6-8 weeks to receive the check. So, just hoping to get my check. You should give this site a try. Good luck and thanks once again!

I am a member but I don't receive more than two survey per year. I guess they don't have to many surveys for my country. I almost forgot about this site since they don't give me to many reasons to visit them.
• India
14 Aug 12
Two surveys per year? Well, I don't know if they send surveys only according to one's country or they even consider one's profile. May be you should complete your profile page in the website and see if they send you more surveys. Good luck friend!

Hi! I am using global test market too since some people here on mylot suggested it. Currently, I have 85 points. I have no experience in cash out yet. I hope they send more surveys. More power to your online earnings. Good luck. Happy mylotting.

yes is true globaltestmarket is a legit site so they will pay you but it takes time before joining the minim payout such as the 50$ by check...personally i received many checks from this survey sites and it takes time before your check arrives 30-60 days normally...so you must be really patient using this system but it is legit!!

I think it is better you cash it right now. I cannot remember the exact discussion but there was someone who was also paid and already cashed out. You can try to research about the same discussion here in Mylot.

Yes, I will follow your advice and cash out the points immediately.
