Paid surveys provide an opportunity for everyday people to not only voice their opinion about product and services they use, but also to be paid for their opinions.

@krishna,
They are a scam, I have been waiting for a cheque for a long time after the third time requesting not receiving it they say you forfeit your funds.
They only pay by cheque why not paypal ?

john,
Just because a company pays by cheque, doesn’t mean its a scam. There are many companies that don’t use PayPal and one of the biggest reasons is all the fees that PayPal charges for processing transactions.

Global Test Market is definitely not a scam. I joined in late 2010 and has already received my first check of USD50 early 2011.

@Bibek Pradhan, Yes, I received a Cheque for $57 when I scored 1070 points and I cashed out, but Global Test market is somewhat slow though I like it very much. It is really legitimate.

I’ve been with Global Testmarketing for a few years but never got paid for anything. Their latest move is something like the strategy used by Toluna (another outfit of doubtful merit) which is to get you to do the survey and right near the end they tell you that you do not qualify. They prey on the vulnerable who are looking for genuine ways to make a dollar. Better to delete their emails than push up your blood pressure

Hi,
I have been a member of GTM from 2008 and received my first cheque last week. The main thing I like about GTM is that many of popular legitimate surveys sites don’t accept Indians as a member. Even though GTM too does not include Indians in it sweepstakes but still it allows to take surveys and make some pocket money.
Also looking for more legistimate paid-survey sites that accepts indians as member. Hope any one can help.

Manju,
GTM truly is a great paid survey company. I know that survey savvy also accepts members from India and survey savvy is one of the most trusted survey companies out there, so you wont have any trouble getting paid. Good luck.

Hey guys,
I’m new to this business and I really would like to get involved and make some extra spending money. I’ve done my research on this and the only thing that really worries me is the fact that they will have all this personal information about the survey taker and I’m worried these information might be used in fraudulent ways (identitiy fraud, credit card fraud,…). Can someone help me out here. What is the best way to approach this “job”. Is it safe? Has anyone had any bad experiences with personal fraud?
Also can someone kindly recommend some survey sites to join. I very much appreciate any form of informatoin I can gather. THANK YOU!!

Frank,
If you register and work with legitimate paid survey sites, you will not have to worry about identity fraud or anything like that. Also, legitimate survey sites will never ask you for your credit card, so you don’t have to worry about credit card fraud.
The best advice I can give you is to be realistic. Although you can make good money taking paid surveys, you can not expect to make a living filling surveys (though a few people can manage that). Just look at it as a way to make some extra money.
Here is a big list of legitimate paid survey sites where you can register for free and start making some money taking surveys. Legitimate Paid Surveys
If you have nay questions please feel free to leave a comment here or contact me through my contact page and I will be more than happy to help. Good luck.

Global Test Market is definitely not a scam. Although, I seldom receive survey invites from them.
The amount of surveys will depend on how much information you provided with them. The more info, the more chances of receiving survey invitations. Before sending invites, they will check your profile first to see if you are qualified to answer the survey. Also, even an invitation has been sent, there’s still chance of getting drop once they have figured that you are not fit to answer the survey, but you will still earn 5 market points though for that particular invitation.
Honestly, I haven’t earn from them yet, I don’t receive that much invites (because I did not lie to my profile and claim I am this and that just to get as many invitations as possible…hehe). The last time I heard from them was on Sept. 30. I have already accumulated 165 points, still have a long way to go, but I can say Global is worthy of your time.

Krishnendu,
I am sorry about your experience. In the last few years that I have been with global test market, I have gotten paid each and every time. And I know plenty of other people who have the same experience.
It sounds like you live in Pakistan since you said you haven’t received a single Rupee. I dont even know if GTM accepts members from Pakistan. Maybe that’s part of the problem. I really wish I could help somehow. But I have never heard of anyone who had problem getting paid from global test market. The only thing I can do is, to give you their information. If you wish, you can mail them a latter instead of emailing them. That might help you get paid faster. I wish you good luck. Please feel free to come back and let us know what happens. Good luck.

I actually just signed up to globaltestmarket, so I’m interested in the results I have from it. So far it seems like a great survey panel. I have a really good experience with Pinecone Research, so I hope GTM can hold up to them. I’m not to thrilled about points instead of cash that has to be accumulated, but I guess I can live with it.
Thanks for the honest review.

TriNi,
You are welcome. I don’t like the “point” deal either, but the good thing about GTM is that they send out a lot of survey invitations. Some times few a day! So, its not that hard to rack up those points. All and all, I think GlobalTestMarket is really one of the best legitimate paid survey sites I have ever used. Good luck.

Hi everybody,
this is just a brief message for those who are confused and can’t decide between legitimate and suspicious scam paid survey websites.
Rest assured, GTM, is a legitimate paid survey website, I have been a member for about 4 months and I received a cheque from them on 4th June, 2010 of £33.77 which has now been deposited.
Furthermore, they always respond to any questions or concerns that you may have, my account has been added once with 25 Marketpoints for the inconvenience caused.
So go ahead and feel free to join it!

Hi,
GlobalTestMarket isn’t a scam but I feel it’s definitely gone downhill and is a shadow of its former self. For e.g., there used to be marketpoints if you didn’t qualify for surveys, but now it’s often sweepstakes instead. Marketpoints rewarded per survey have also gone down making it much harder (and longer) to reach the 1000 point payout.
I’d still put GTM on my list of survey companies to try —- but only just.

MissEB, I have to agree, although I haven’t done any surveys lately from GTM, I have noticed there new changes and the fact that market points are much less than what they used to be for the same length surveys. But just like You, I still think its a great paid surveys site.
