Are Paid Surveys a Scam – Free Paid Survey Reviews

Today I got an invitation to take part in a 50 point survey for global test market. I started but did not qualify. My account was credited with 5 marketpoints, about 25 cents, for the 30 seconds I had spent on the survey.

Global Test Market sent me a survey last night that would pay 50 marketpoints, about $2.50. I didn’t feel like taking it last night and decided to take it today but apparently the survey was time sensitive because the study had closed by the time I logged in.

Today I took a paid survey from Global Test Market it was worth 50 points, about $2.50, and only took me like 10 minutes to complete. So far I have accumulated 430 points and am about half way towards cashing out at $50.

Today I had an email from global test market inviting me to take part in a survey for 40 points, about $2. When I opened up the link in the email I had to switch browsers because the survey was compatible with internet explorer and not firefox.

Then I started reading the terms of the survey and it would be given in two parts and required some things to be done in between those two parts, I declined to take the survey since I felt it would be too complicated.

Today I had three emails from Global Test Market. The first one I clicked I answered about 3 questions and then did not qualify for the survey but was still awarded 5 points. The second one, the study had closed. And the third one I did not qualify for either but was still awarded 5 points just for starting the paid survey.

Overall in about 1 minute of taking surveys from Global Test Market I made about $0.50

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.

Today I had another email from inviting me to take part in a survey. This paid survey was worth 50 “marketpoints” or about $2.5 and was only available to 10pm tonight and then they would not need any more opinions on this survey.

Contrary to other paid survey websites they do not usually say about how long the survey will take, however their surveys tend to not be as long as some other survey sites I have experience with. I qualified for this paid survey and it only took about 8 minutes.

So far I have made 255 out of the 1000 point I need to cash out for $50 with Global Test Market

Today I had 2 different invitations for surveys from Global Test Market. They both were for up to 40 points if I qualified. This is equivalent to about $2 per survey. I did not qualify for either survey. Global test market gives you 5 points for each survey that you don’t qualify for, equivalent to $0.25.

Today I got an email from Global Test Market inviting me to take a paid survey. The paid survey said It would pay between 5-50 points. I answered the first 3 questions and was informed that I did not qualify, but they still gave me 5 points for my time. At the conversion ratio from points to cash I got 0.25 for answering the three questions that took 30 seconds.

Today I had an email from Global Test Market reminding me that I still had surveys to fill out. I logged into my account and took the remaining profiles that I had not filled out, I still had four to go. It took me a total of about 20 minutes. Each paid survey was worth 10 points and 1000 points=$50 so I guess I made about $2 in 20 minutes.

So far I have accumulated 105 points in the 2 days I have been with Global Test Market
