jellyfish Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I have a question for others who are members of Global Test Market, have any of you noticed a decline in sweepstakes surveys? On all the sweepstakes I would just send them to my trash, and I did that for a whole month straight, but now I have not received a single sweepstakes survey in a whole week, all of the surveys have been for market points so that is a plus. I just wanted to see if any one else is experience the good surveys with market points. I'm still getting mostly sweepstakes-only survey invites from them. Lame.

factonista Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 GlobalTestMarket just sent me an OTX survey that actually paid market points, and not a sweepstakes entry. Is this new? Too bad I didn't qualify.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susiejean Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I've been doing surveys for them for over a year and have still not reached a payout. The only reason that I keep doing them is so when I reach the payout, I can quit. Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatatay Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 It seems there overall amount of invites they send me has gone way down but about 75% are sweepstakes which go right to the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatatay Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Isn't it funny how GTM keeps sending survey reminders, nut only for sweepstakes surveys. Every single reminder email I have gotten was to remond me to take a sweepstakes survey. I hope others are refusing to take them. I would like to see survey companies try to gain back a little credibility by allowing us to set or preferences to NOT receive email invites for free sweepstakes surveys. My email is becoming filed with survey spam, that is survey invites I don't want because they are for free sweepstakes surveys or ones for pennies. Of course GTM is just spamming you with these in hopes you won't realize it is a free on and take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyfish Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I wrote to them recently about this very issue and this was the response: "GlobalTestMarket panelists accrue rewards for every survey they participate in. Although MarketPoints are the primary incentive offered to our panelists as a reward, you can also receive sweepstakes entries to daily and monthly cash prizes. Our clients encourage an assortment of incentives in order to ensure the highest level of engagement. Plus it gives some of our panelists the opportunity to be a lucky winner of significant cash prizes!" I wrote back saying I deserve to get compensated for my time and I will not do any surveys for sweepstakes entries. I also said I don't consider sweepstakes entries "rewards".

TSP1973 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I am still receiving a lot of sweepstakes surveys, more than usually! I have also noticed a decline in qualifying also! Ever since January have hardly received any qualifying surveys. I turned 36 on December 25th, 2009. I heard that they only target 20-35 years old.

jellyfish Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 They now have a new crappy reward offering! "Reward for Survey Completion: 3 Daily and 3 Monthly cash sweepstakes entries" This was on a survey invitation they just sent me. They think multiple sweeps entries is any better than one? Guess what I did with that survey invitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSP1973 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 They have gone down hill a little bit. It use to be you got at least 5 points for the survey if you didn't qualify at least you got something. Now they have gotten ride of that. I see a lot more surveys just for entire into a there sweepstakes, instead of points towards surveys. Points towards survey's has reduced a quite a bit. I don't even bother with the sweepstakes entries ones! Plus the cash out is very high. Takes for ever to get your money when you cash out. But at least they pay you, don't have missing points for surveys, don't have to wait forever to be credited for a survey, more than I can say for others like Greenfield, Toluna and some others.
