Are Paid Surveys a Scam – Free Paid Survey Reviews

I got a $2 survey from survey savvy today. It took me about 20 minutes to complete but it was actually a pretty interesting survey and the time seemed to go by a lot faster than it does when I take paid surveys from other sites.

My account should be credited with the $2 in about 4 weeks

I must be honest and state that I’ve never been a huge fan of GlobalTestMarket. They are a good survey site and I would still advise you to go ahead and join, but they can be a bit frustrating at times.

There are good qualities to GlobalTestMarket. They offer a lot of great surveys that can pay quite well. They seem to be well connected in the survey world and they definitely serve as one of the better places. They are primarily just your standard survey company though. You will be asked to give your opinions about products and then paid. I didn’t really receive anything too special from them though. That isn’t much of a fault but it puts them a little bit below some of their competitors. The one truly unique thing that I liked a lot was that they did pay even if you didn’t match the survey. If your demographics don’t match the survey they send you, you will still usually receive the equivalent of 25-75 cents. It’s nice that they value your time.

The bad is mainly just annoyances that don’t need to be in place. You have to have 1000 points on their website before you can cash out for $50. Their rates are quite fair but the $50 cashout is a little high in a market that can unfairly leave someone out in the cold.

Overall, Global Test Market is a pretty good survey site that you should still add to your portfolio. There are just a few little things that they could do better.

Apparently the password is case sensitive. I got an email from them today wit the password and explaining that it was case sensitive. A while ago, they sent me an email that had the password in it but this was after I could not login with the password I had and they said my email address was not in the database. I typed in the password but did not know it was case sensitive. That is why I have not been taking their surveys or writing about them recently. But I was able to login to my account with Ipsos and saw that I had accumulated 8 points, so the surveys I had taken before had not been for nothing.

So I took a survey with them today that in the email they said would pay up to 8 points. They said it would take about 25 minutes but it only took about 20 minutes. The survey was really redundant, and I don’t think I am allowed to specifically talk about the contents but there were 2 pages that made me want to stop because they were so redundant and time consuming.

I did complete it though and should have 8 more points credited to my account in 2 days. Ipsos survey Panel I need to earn at least 50 points before I can redeem it for a prize.
