I am a member of several online survey companies and have been doing this a couple of years to make extra money. This is a time consuming process for very little money. I have been a panelist for Global Test Market since 2009 without any problems.
All of a sudden in June I stopped getting surveys so when I went in to my account I was disabled. I sent an email and the reply I got back was I was disabled because I was speeding through surveys. They enabled me and I took a few more surveys and reached my $50.00 cashout threshold. I took a few more and then requested my $50.00 payout.
How convenient that all of a sudden they disabled me again and said I forfeited any and all monies I had worked for. So not only am I out my $50.00 but I had another $25.00 sitting in my account for doing surveys.
Now keep in mind I am a member of several Online Survey Companies all of which I am in good standing and get paid for my hard and diligent work. So I started the research process and have now filed a complaint with the BBB and I learned on SurveyPolice.com that this is happening to other panelists as well.
There is no one at Global Test Market to talk to and you cannot reach anyone by phone and emails go unanswered about my dissatisfaction. This is simply a scam on their part to have people take surveys for free as they can come up with any arbitrary reason to drop you when it comes time to pay your incentive. I am a professional with a full time day job just trying to earn some extra dollars and I feel other people should know about my experience with this company.
