Service & Snafus

Learn about customer service and potential issues with Consumer Opinion Institute and GlobalTestMarket before you sign up.

Consumer Opinion InstituteGlobalTestMarket
Consumer Opinion Institute

Backed by global market research company TNS, Consumer Opinion Institute has an extensive background in customer service and responds to any inquiries very quickly.

GlobalTestMarket

Having been around for a long time, GlobalTestMarket has a very friendly support department. They are always quick to resolve issues and write back, no matter how small the problem is.

Consumer Opinion Institute

This could almost be considered a positive, but it can be extremely difficult to join Consumer Opinion Institute. Their clients demand very specific information from particular demographics, so you kind of have to be lucky if you happen to fall into one of the groups being accepted.

It should also be noted that no one is getting rich from this program as you'll generally receive only about three surveys per month. However, you will receive this consistently, so you can depend on the supplemental income.

GlobalTestMarket

One of the only negatives about the GlobalTestMarket program is the payout threshold. In order to cash out, you need to accrue $50. This may be longer than you wanted to wait, but if you choose an electronic redemption, you will have it instantly. Be advised if you opt for physical gift cards, a check, or merchandise that you may have to wait up to 8 weeks to receive it.

Consumer Opinion InstituteGlobalTestMarket
Consumer Opinion Institute

Consumer Opinion Institute is a favorite among veteran survey takers. The company is 100% above board and pays you cash in the mail BEFORE taking the survey. With all the games some survey companies play with payment this policy is a refreshing change of pace and has engendered 1000's of loyal members.

Although you won't make a ton of money with COI, you know you'll be paid upfront. Combine that with the fact you'll never be disqualified from a survey because of their extensive screening process; joining this program is a no-brainer.

GlobalTestMarket

GlobalTestMarket is a high quality survey panel that plays fair. The surveys are always interesting and short and there's plenty to take. The one thing that distinguishes GlobalTestMarket above the rest is the high frequency of survey invites which can really allow you to rack up some cash.

Although, the redemption threshold is high at $50, with a little effort you should be able to reach that level in no time.
