Globaltestmarket Cut The Points.

Options
Hi there,

Having been doing the globaltestmarket suverys for a while now I have noticed that they have cut the points on most of their surveys. Whereas before you got 50 points for most of them now its 30 mainly. Just means nearly twice the amount of surveys you have to do to reach 1000 points to cashout.

:)

    i'd noticed that the points were a little less as well...some are even just sweepstake entry surveys now as well! shame really, it's one of my favourite survey sites...i'll still stick with it though...

  • I've noticed the increase in the number of surveys which only pay a sweepstake entry. I don't mind short surveys but I object to spending 20 mins - 30 mins for just a small chance of getting something.

    There are a lot less surveys giving 5 points when you are screened out too. Those 5 points soon added up. :(

    Very disappointing.

    There's a recession on, they've probably got less customers and being able to charge them less.

    and also with others,Ipsos surveys are few and far between.Lightspeed are almost non existent, and pay out very little .I have had only £6 pay pal in 6 months from them.
    Valued opinions have sent me quite a few i have had £20 in amazon vouchers in 3 months.
    I did read somewhere a while ago that if you visit the sites that you are members of
    i.e via bookmarking the page and logging in for a few minutes to view your account
    that you often get a survey from them very soon after.So i have tried this myself and with valued opinions it seems to work could just be coincidence tho.
  • Have been with Globaltestmarket for many years. But they have went from the surveys either been 5 or 50 points each to just 35 points. So you don't even get the 5 points if you don't qualifiey. Also now they have started a lot of survey's that just offer a sweepstake. Been a long time since i also had a 75 or 100 point survey. Guess its cos of the world money crisis thing.

    GTM are definitely going downhill! I used to receive lots of surveys, worth around 80 points or so. Now the reward is 30, if you're lucky .......... and you're not screened out!

    Have just received £30 cheque from them, but it's looking like there won't be another for many months.

    My cheque arrived a little more quickly than usual, around 5/6 weeks.

    Good luck.
