Many of you have asked when our Refer-A-Friend program will resume.

We invite you to refer your friends and family to the GlobalTestMarket.com community so that they too can get rewarded for their opinions. Although we greatly appreciate your referrals, we have decided to defer the Refer-A-Friend program until further notice and not award extra incentive.

Thank you for understanding.

Would you like to be eligible for more GlobalTestMarket surveys? All you need is a moment to access your account and complete your BASIC and HOUSEHOLD profile surveys. You will be automatically entered in a sweepstakes for a chance to win! GlobalTestMarket is giving away a total of $5000 in cash and prizes. Hurry, this offer ends on May 30th, 2009.

The benefits are clear:

1. The surveys are short and you automatically qualify
2. You will receive more surveys that are relevant to your interests and lifestyle
3. You will qualify for more of the surveys you start
4. You will have more opportunities to earn MarketPoints

Please review the rules and restrictions! This contest is only available in countries where the new Basic and Household profile surveys have launched. (Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, China, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and USA).

On behalf of the GlobalTestMarket team, I wanted to say thank you for all your awesome and creative suggestions. I must say that it has been a real pleasure to read all your comments for the past 10 days.

Thanks to your participation and input, we have found a cool new name for our new multi-incentive program.

Stay tuned for the release date, it is coming soon.

Wish you a great day!

Seems like we’re going to need your help on this one! We are about to release a new multi-incentive program to the Community, but there is one important detail missing before we can launch. We still haven’t found a name for it!

This program will offer you opportunities that go beyond incentive checks. Soon, you will be able to redeem your MarketPoints against a payment with PayPal or check cards, or exchange for merchandise or gift cards, you’ll even be able to select and send a gift to a friend. Last but not least, starting next month, we will also introduce a sweepstakes program.

So according to you, what should we name this exciting multi-incentive program by GlobalTestMarket? We would love to hear your suggestions. Just one thing to keep in mind before you let your creativity go wild, the new name should be closely associated to our current GlobalTestMarket brand. Examples: GlobalRewardsMarket, or GlobalRewardsZone.

On behalf of the Team, I say thank you for your time, participation and best of all, your creativity.

Thanks for your patience, we have finally been able to contact all 30 winners of the Member Appreciation Sweepstakes 2008. It was our first sweepstakes and I admit that it took us a while to publish the winners.

Good news for all the members who didn’t win this time, we will be introducing more sweepstakes soon.

Congratulations to the winners! When you check the Blog, let us know how it feels to win a sweepstakes.

Keep checking the Website and Blog for updates.

In our efforts to serve you better, we have momentarily removed the Refer-A-Friend Feature. The new and improved Referral System will be available soon.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. Keep checking the Blog for updates.

It has been close to a week since Garth announced his departure from the blog and it is about time that I introduce myself.

First of all, I am very pleased to meet you. Thank you for the warm welcome messages. I am really excited to take over the blog moderator responsibility and I will do my best to keep the blog fun and interesting to read and updated with the latest news and tips.

Today happens to be my 6 months anniversary at GlobalTestMarket. Time flies by and I love to work here. As Cindy told me when we first met, “a day at GlobalTestMarket is never the same. Every day you wake up wondering how you’re going to make the members’ experience better.”

To tell you more about me, I moved to Seattle in September 2005. I am originally from Belgium but also had the chance to live a few years in Germany. My native tongue is French, so if you happen to see any grammatical mistakes, you will know where they come from . During my free time I like to hang out with my friends, take photos, go hiking or take the dogs to the off leash park.

Last but not least, on behalf of the GlobalTestMarket Operations Team, I am very excited to tell you that – YES! It is now for sure – we will be introducing an awesome surprise very soon. Our team has been working hard on this project for a while and it should see daylight within the next few weeks.

So stay tuned, I can assure you that you will like it!

I’m writing to announce that we’ve made some exciting changes within the GlobalTestMarket team and as a result, I will no longer contribute to the blog. Moving forward, my area of responsibilities will be focused on program management. Our daily and weekly contacts via the blog will be something I miss in my new job, but I will continue to help improve your membership experience!

The good news is that Elisa Mitchell will now be your Blog Moderator. Elisa will keep you updated on the latest news and tips about GlobalTestMarket.

Please help me welcome Elisa to the community.

Thank you all for your participation, good comments and feedback.
