Product Report Card vs GlobalTestMarket

Unlike some survey panels, Product Report Card makes support easily accessible. Should you encounter any problems, it's very easy to open a support ticket from your account dashboard. Expect a quick and courteous response to you inquiry.

They even respond to inquiries on Trustpilot which is a consumer watchdog site. You can see their forum here. If that fails, you can reach them at (303) 345-4261.

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.

While there's a lot to like about this program, one drawback is the low amount of survey invites. While you may be lucky enough to qualify for high-paying focus groups or product reviews, on a day-to-day basis you will not get a lot of earning opportunities. This is partially due the fact that they have very discerning clients that seek detailed information.

You may also find some people claiming to have not been paid or paid very slowly. This is generally just people that are impatient or don't understand the process and should be ignored.

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.
