Thats-What-I-Think merging with GlobalTestmarket

Lethal

GTM take 6-8 weeks unless you live in the States. I got mine exactly on the 6th week.

So strange! I've not heard anything about the merge! I have 1100 points so could cash in (I was going to save up) can anyone confirm exactly whats going on?

So far I am getting that there could be a standard 1000 points = £30 (instead of whatever the exchange rate says) and that the vouchers could be taking longer then normal?


Would also agree GTM are going down hill, not only are 80% of the surveys now for (pretend?) sweepstakes but I have now had two surveys which promise in one case 60 points, where I get almost all the way through (you know when your near the end when you've been doing surveys for 7 or 8 years!) then I get told "sorry you do not qualify" (or words to that effect). Annoying and when I did contact GTM about this, the first email said "its because you do not qualify for the survey (noooo, really?!) then declined to explain why I was able to get all of 25 minutes into it. The next email sent 1 minute from this one said "we are closing this case" I replied back saying I was not happy with the result, to which I got another standard reply the same as the above. I emailed them back in block capitals "why don't you actually read my emails, then proceeded to explain all over again" and am now waiting for a new reply.

Agree with you Jennie, GTM are not as good as they once were. I will be finishing with them when ( if I ever ) reach 1000 points to cash out. Thats-what-i-think are just as bad, it takes ages to earn enough for a five pound Amazon voucher. :mad::D

Hi everyone,
i also got an email a few days ago it stated that thats what i think is moving to global test market i emailed them straight away and said what about the pointss i have already accumalated and they said theyll be no affect to them thats what i think is still ging to be a survey site(confused well i am) i do hope they dont think they are gonna just stop doing this site and make everyone who has not got enough points to just throw them away i only need 100 points then i can get a £5 amazon voucher.
I also agree with everyone else about global testmarket they used to pay very good now u only get like 45 points for a 30minute survey or take this survey to be in a sweepstake(no thanks lol)
I have had a check off gtm in the past and it was great i think i got £40+ but they have also changed that u now get £30 every 1000 points you collect.:(

I used to earn 1000 points with GTM every 2 months now i am stuck on 410 for the last 2 months with sweepstake surveys coming in and silly 30 point ones that take ages and not being added.

Yes globaltestmarket has got the con surveys (do all the work and we might just put you in 1 in 1 million hat now and no longer a nice 5 and sorry you weren't ok for this survey. It's blank slap and a entry to a draw
