DH got credit for the one he took yesterday on beer.
the survey gods must hate me today as i cannot get an otx or sm survey to save my life. otx says i have exceeded my limit for the day even though i have not done one since yesterday at about 1:45 pm (it credited after 2) and i can't qualify for any sm surveys at all - i start one and i get kicked out halfway through it. this is really crappy as i have gotten all 3 since monday. i am ready to stop doing surveys as it is getting more and more frustrating to qualify for one and is it really worth all this aggravation for 75 and 60 cents? HELP ME PLEASE. ugh.:computer: :computer: :computer:
I sympathize with you, as I can't seem to get an OTX one either but I've changed my way of thinking about these surveys since the ban was lifted. I'm not going to stress over them anymore, if I qualify than great and if I don't, oh well, it is free money and I'll take it when I can. I'm finding my days are not revolving around trying to qualifying for surveys anymore and are way less stressful than before when I was changing emails around, asking different members of the family to try for one to help me out, life is much simpler to me now! I'm enjoying it this way much better! :angel:Quote:

Your welcome, just putting it in perspective helped me alot! :)Quote:

We just don't stress over them anymore and with the new bonus for March it makes it so much easier if you miss a day or two.Quote:

I can never qualify. It seems to give me the same ones over and over again. So I just try every 3 or 4 days in hopes that they load new one. :angel:
i could not even get one today so i decided to totally give up and not try again until tomorrow - as Scarlett O'Hara once said "tomorrow is another day" so we will see what happens tomorrow - keep your fingers crossed that i can get one and not be stressed out about it.:sunshine:
That's happened to me the last 2 times. I finished them but got no credit :(Quote:

I was denied earlier this year for one because of the age thing, now I know better.
I have gotten better at trying each dayto get a survey, If I do get one great, if I don't thats OK.
it's nice to hear from someone with such a healthy attitude towards surveys. i am trying to be less stressed out when i don't get one and i also try to tell myself that if i don't get one today there is always tomorrow. keep up the great attitude and keep smiling.:sunshine:
I am with you on this post. If I qualify and complete a survey I always get credit. Not sure why its a problem for some and not all. Is everyone thoroughly clearing cookies each day before trying these surveys? Maybe that is part of the problem? I have no real idea though.Quote:

I did a movie survey last night and completed it but didn't get the credit for it. I wonder why they don't credit for me :confused:Quote:

How often are you clearing out your cookies? Is it daily? If so are you getting credit for other things?Quote:

I'm sorry if you posted this previously, I read back a few, but not all the way.Quote:

Don't know if it is true for all but I found I get that message if:
1. It is w/in 24 hours of when last credit rec'd.
2. I x'd out/closed browser b/c they give me a survey I've already taken (I hate when that happens, you'd think your email eliminate them offering dups.)
3. Instead of clicking the "Yes I'd like to try for another survey" button...I x'd out and went through the SR link again.
That being said I try to just go through, whent I get one, Yay! Free moolah. When I don't, I go clean the house :p
I did an OTX survey today, and when I was done I got the usual screen (thank you for taking the survey, etc.) but I never got credited. I tried to take another just to see if I was going nuts, and it gives me the 24 hour warning.
I do remember, though, looking at the clock when I had finished, and it was exactly 12:00 on my computer clock. I know they normally credit on the hour so I was hoping that it would credit right away. When it didn't, I checked at 1:00 and it didn't happen then either. And it's still not there. Did my timing (finishing on the hour) have anything to do with not being credited?
after you got the thank you page did you move the my thought counts offer to your pending file? :sunshine:
Maybe the timing did have something to do with it. Sounds like alot of people are having trouble with this site. I have only gotten that I do not qualify for this survey and try another. whiterain
Okay, I'm still confused about this: can DH and I alternate taking OTX surveys? Currently, he is doing OTX surveys and I am doing the Greenfield surveys. I realize I have to consistently keep doing the Greenfield surveys, but if DH is too busy to do the OTX survey or is not qualified for a survey on a particular day, could I also try to do one?:confused:
I think that you can switch on the OTX, I do not believe that there has been anything said that the same person has to take it each time it is just the Greenfield ones and as a result, also the SM ones.
you may be right. greenfield surveys are tracked by email addresses and otx surveys are tracked by cookies. you may want to check with tricia on this just to be on the safe side so that no one gets into any trouble like before.:sunshine:
That's what I was thinking. Tricia, Cindy, Janet, Catherine, Heather.........any thoughts about this? I just don't want to be a naughty girl again.:angel:Quote:

I like doing these surveys and usually get one at least 4 or so times a week but this week, nada.
I haven't had anything freeze, but my OTX/MyThoughtsCount survey today brought me to an AMP thank you page :confused:
I didn't know what to do as I was pretty sure the survey wasn't over. I put it in pending anyhow, will see if it posts after 10pm.
This was the page I got:
http://www.eversave.com/eversave/con...sourceid=xxxxx (I x'd out id)
I have cleared cookies alot today, but didn't run any spyware or anything. Wondering if that AMP survey yesterday actually did put something deep on the system.
Yes - this happened to me too, today - got the AMP page at the end of the regular OTX survey.Quote:

I just thot it was a new one-time offer thing!
The funny deal is, the AMP one kept saying I didn't qualify for this or that survey, and finally, when I clicked the try again button, it suddenly said I had qualified for a survey about wireless phone service providers!! Funny thing, but didn't bother me to get a survey.
So now I'll see how it goes with getting credit and with trying these surveys again tomorrow.
I've been reading these threads about this MTC/AMP, and I'm not entirely clear on it all yet, but I'm sure it'll come clear before long.
Im getting really annoyed at OTX. I have never lied about my age, my income, or on the questions and the past few days I go through a whole long survey and I get this
Thank you for your participation in our research study today. Unfortunately, you have given an invalid answer, which will not allow you to complete this study. Honest answers to survey questions are vital to the integrity of the research process. In the future, please make sure to read each question carefully and give your honest answer. Remember to pay attention to any media (video, print, etc….) that you are exposed to.
Ok, no. Wrong answer. Im annoyed even more tonight because I was actually interested in the probuct and spent a ton of time typing out answers. Im not sure if its really worth my time anymore.:computer:
Sure did! Is there a way it can be tracked and Tricia can credit me for it..I wonder?Quote:

If it asks your specific age and you haven't had a bday yet you need to put what you WILL be this year. I would have thought that they would have fixed this by now.
thank you.Quote:

what time did you finish it? if you finished it after 2 it should hopefully credit after 3 as they normally credit on the hour. i'm truly sorry that you are having so much trouble with otx surveys and i wish i could help you but all i can do is give you some encouragement that tomorrow is another day and maybe it will be better than today. try to stay happy anyway (it is the weekend anyway).:sunshine:
Did you clear cookies since the last one you took? OTX tracks by cookies, if you don't clear them inbetween you won't get credit.Quote:

I am getting the same "invalid link" page. this has been happening since I took the AMP survey. cleaned cookies and such before i signed into sunshine. anyone have any advice?
Invalid link here too.
has anyone told cindy or tricia about the problems you guys are having with otx surveys? maybe they can do something about this so that it gets fixed asap.:sunshine:
How do we contact them? I thought I read somewhere that they don't accept PM's? Thanks!Quote:
