Global Test Market - points exchange rates

The new system of rewards and points on Global Test Market had me a little baffled so I have worked out the points to pounds rate for the top rewards. These will only be valid for today because the dollar to pound exchange rate is always changing but I thought it would give a people an idea of which are the best value rewards.

Cheque - $50

Points per pound = 33.7
(using today's exchange rate of £32.64 for $50)

This is still the best value if you're willing to wait for it to arrive.

Amazon - Electronic vouchers

£5 voucher
points per pound = 34.8

£10 & £25 voucher
points per pound =34.7

Paypal

£5
points per pound = 36.4

£10 & £15
points per pound = 36.3

£20
points per pound = 36.5

£25, £30, £35 & £40
points per pound = 36.2

    Trouble is that you've still got to wait until you've got 1000 points to redeem!


    Just wondered if you get stung for Paypal charges for receiving money?

    Thank you that was very useful.

    I am still going for the cheques. It does take a while but its nothing compared to Toluna who take 6 weeks to process an electronic voucher lol.
