Thats-What-I-Think merging with GlobalTestmarket

Got this email a few days ago
Dear X, we'd like to tell you some exciting news.

As of today, thats-what-i-think.co.uk has joined forces with GlobalTestMarket, a worldwide program for online market research. Here's what you need to know about this change:

Once you complete the required confirmation steps (described below), you will become eligible to participate in a broad range of market research studies. You will continue to have a vital voice in film, television and music projects, but you'll also be invited to additional research opportunities based on YOUR interests.

As a participant in the GlobalTestMarket program, you will earn MarketPoints, which are redeemable for cash. Most completed surveys earn from 30 to 60 MarketPoints, and when you collect 1000 points you can redeem them for £30 in cash.

PLEASE NOTE that you MUST reconfirm your registration information. Our privacy policy requires that you complete this step to continue receiving research invitations. Participation in GlobalTestMarket is completely free, and your information will remain completely confidential.

We want to sincerely thank you for your loyal participation so far, and we hope you will find the new research opportunities even more rewarding. We look forward to serving you as a part of the GlobalTestMarket program.

Best wishes,

thats-what-i-think.co.uk and the GlobalTestMarket team
[EMAIL="info@thats-what-i-think.co.uk"]info@thats-what-i-think.co.uk[/EMAIL]

The email address is not working though - it is being redirected to a company called "troy research" and is being bounced undelivered.

What I am trying to find out is if points in Thats-What-I-Think will be migrated to a GlobalTestmarket account or if GTM points will now be applied to the TWIT account?

Anyone else a member of these?

Any ideas?

    I wanted to know the same thing and managed to get an answer using the email address on their website:-
    Thanks for your inquiry. If you're already a member of Global Test
    Market, there is nothing you need to do. We want to assure you that
    nothing is changing with your thats-what-i-think.co.uk account. The
    points you've earned with us stay here and can be used at the
    thats-what-i-think.co.uk prize catalogue.

    We are simply keeping our commitment to our members to continue to find
    new and different ways to earn prizes and points, so keep watching your
    inbox for survey invites and other point earning opportunities.

    Hope that helps! :)

    How long does it usually take to receive your payout cheque from globaltestmarket by the way? I ordered mine about 4 weeks ago and am still waiting?

    you should be receiving your cheque soon they usually take around 4-6 weeks but might be a bit longer if a lot of poeple applied for their money around christmas time,

    gtm used to pay in us currency and convert it to sterling and you could gain if the currency was in our favour but from what i have read above it looks like it is a set amount of £30 now.

    Oh no! I figured out I was due about £45 with the currency conversion. Hope they stick to the rules that were on place at the time of ordering.
    Thanks for the info, I know it said 4 to 6 weeks on website but I already know from places like toluna that there can be a big difference between what's in the FAQ and what actually happens.

  • I emailed thatwhatithink.co.uk to ask if my points will be merged with globaltestmarket as I am already a member. They said the points wont be merged, I need to spend my points on thatswhatithink.co.uk. I don't have enough for a voucher so I think I will just lose them.
    Also think globaltestmarket has gone downhill lately. A lot of surveys jusy give sweepstake entries not points.
  • I joined GTM as i thought they where shutting down and wondered about my points so was going to email them and cant find the address on there site, i have just tried to log in and now found my account has been disabled! Has this happened to anyone else?

    Could someone point in the right direct please as to where the email address is on thatswhatithink so i can get my account reactived as i was only one survey off getting a voucher and joined GTM as i tought thats what i had to do top keep my account open?

    Many thanks

    Which email address did you use?
    I contacted GTM and got the same response i.e. that the points must be spent on TWIT but I can't seem to get through to TWIT.
