Finance wired funds to our payment vendor the other day. This impacts members that requested a payment between August 28th through September 3rd. Our vendor mails your payment from Canada, so please be patient for the arrival of international mail.

You may have noticed the past few weeks that there is a delay from when you take a GlobalTestMarket survey to when your MarketPoints appear in your account. Don’t worry! We record all your survey activity and the MarketPoints you earn, and these points will be credited to your account. Our system is operating on a 4-7 day delay, so your MarketPoints are not appearing in your account right away.

We are in the process of upgrading our survey software engine. We currently send survey invites from two software platforms. Soon we will retire the older system for an improved version. This change is causing a communication delay between some of our databases.

We apologize for any inconvenience these technical difficulties are causing. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Payments for members that redeemed between August 14th through the 20th were placed in the postal service on September 4th. Members in the US should expect to see their check on or before September 18th and international members should receive their check by October 2nd.

Finance wired funds to our payment vendor on September 9th. That means members that requested payment between August 21st through the 27th will be happy to know their check is in the mail. Please allow time for your check to be delivered by our vendor located in Canada.
