Points2Shop vs GlobalTestMarket

With millions of members, Points2Shop handles their customers fairly well. Unlike many sites, it's simple to open up an email support ticket from your account dashboard. They'll even give you an estimated response time. The majority of users report reasonably fast and courteous service.

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.

There have been some user complaints about sudden account termination. In the past, Points2Shop has been plagued by hackers attempting fraud, so if their system detects anything out of the ordinary it automatically close your account.

As long as you are not trying to cheat the system, you should not have any problems with the Points2Shop system. Sudden account closure claims are few and far between, but since the company has endured numerous cyber attacks they are quite vigilant about any dishonest users. Should this happen to you, contact support to rectify the situation.

Points2Shop also accepts direct advertisers on their sites, some of which are directly looking for ways to market to users, which includes telemarketing. There have been some user complaints of receiving unwanted calls, so you may want to steer clear of offers that require a phone number to complete.

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.
