I wish I had read this thread sooner. I just got called a liar too. Now it won't let me try to take another survey nor can I take a SM survey because it is also through this company. Very frustrating!!!

I believe the SM survey is through Greenfield, not OTX. One shouldn't exclude the other. Be sure to clear your cookies before trying the SM survey!:sunshine:Quote:

Earlier today the SM survey was going to OTX but I just finished the SM survey and it was back to "2 cents." Hopefully it will stay that way.
I did an SM survey around 1:30pm and it went to greenfield's page where you fill in your info, not OTX. Rec'd credit on the hour (was that long one where you had to pick 2 car attributes from a bunch of boxes A B C, etc.)
OK - last two nights I tried to take a n OTX survey and after 35 minutes the next button never loaded so I got kicked out and tonight after 40 minutes of car questions it asked my age and called me a liar.
I can not get back in. I have waited an hour, cleared cookies... It will not let me try again. Says I exceeded daily limit.....
Well then pay SR so I can get paid!!!!@!:computer:
Somebody must have just done something bc my OTX survey credit just posted from yesterday. Now I'll go and try and take one for today!
Whoo hoo!
Yup my credit showed up too. Maybe there was just a server delay on their end. I just finished a 20 minute survey without any hiccups so we'll see if it credits at 7. :)
My faith is temporarily restored! Yay!
I couldn't find the thread about the OTX survey issues from last weekend so maybe someone will want to move this there. I took the survey this morning and didn't receive credit on the hour or the next hour. I'm wondering if this is because it's Saturday and happens every weekend or if I'm the only one this time. I had the same problem last weekend and it credited on 1/13 instead.
Sorry, mine credited on the hour, so I don't know what the answer is.
I just about finished a survey on luxury automobiles. At the end, I put in my real age and was told I was being untruthful. So, I'm assuming this problem isn't fixed yet. Is there any news from them on when this will be fixed? Will they tell us when it's fixed so we know how old we should be? So very frustrating!
For the My Thoughts Count Surveys...should they bring you back to SR or am I good if I get the screen that says "thank you!"
These do not bring you back to SR so if you get that page you are good.
Yay! Thanks!
I had it happen twice this weekend where I was given the Thank you page but didn't get credit. I'm hoping it comes today. This happened last weekend too (only one day though).Quote:

So, yesterday OTX called me dishonest for putting my real age in. Today, I added a year and gave them the age that I will be after I have my birthday this year. Once again, I'm called dishonest. Heck, what gives? If I'm going to lie, I'll at least say I'm 29 again! Now, there are two days that I've done a full survey and SR or me won't see a penny of it. :computer: :computer:
Is there any way we could have confirmation of whether they've fixed the age error so we don't waste our time? Thanks!!!
The problem is that these are going through a 3rd party not OTX directly so Tricia doesn't have anyone over there to discuss these things with. I know she is trying to work a deal with them directly but hasn't been able to so far.Quote:

Oh I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. Last night I did an OTX survey and at the end I got the "liar" message after putting in my age. I thought maybe I messed up the year on the first page since I typed that info in so fast. Tonight I did an OTX one that ended in a Thank You page, is it supposed to go to the SR congrats page or is the Thank You one the right one to get credit?
The 'Thank You' page is all I've ever gotten after completing an OTX survey, and I've usually gotten credit. Hope it credits for you!Quote:

I didn't try today bc it won't let me until 11pm, so I may just skip it tonight and take one early tomorrow so I can get back on track.Quote:

I did one this AM and put the age in I will be in April without getting the dishonest message. I also got credit. I'm thinking it's still not fixed.
congrats to all of you for getting an otx survey. i have been trying for the last 2 days and all i keep getting is that i don't qualify for anything and it thanks me for my time. all i want to do is just scream and throw my computer out the window. i wish i knew what otx was looking for and why i don't qualify for anything lately - it's very frustrating.:computer:
the ones that i've been coming across is looking for someone under 13 who plays a lot of video games which is of course not me nor Mike. Not sure what else they are looking for but we haven't been qualifying either since last week.Quote:

I keep getting the message "this survey is now closed", though it won't return me to the Sunshine Rewards page. I went back to it, myself, to try again to try again for a different survey, and I got the same one, with the same "this survey is now closed" message. It doesn't seem like it's counting them, but also will not let me move past it. I will try again later, but was wondering if anyone had this experience before?
:sunshine2: I just got one that was so easy, I truly thought it was a mistake. until .70 got credited to my account 10 minutes later. It basically asked if I liked certain print items, yes or no. then I got the congrats page. Wow!
I was also surprised at how easy a time I had today - my very first try! It was kind of long and not a fun survey - but still it was fun to get the credit!!
I got a survey today, but I was just nearly to the end that they had a problem of some sort and it cut me off with a nice sorry statement. RATS!
DH had one and the page would not load, we waited and waited until it timed out, refreshed. still a no go but got the you came back too soon page when trying again. :( Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
DH got one tonight on a professional sport. Didn't ask for his age and gave him the "thank you" page.
Last night I spent about 20 doing the my thoughts offer and I was almost done and they asked for my age and I said 34 then the next page said I can not continue because they only want honest people. I know at the begin they asked for the year I was born 1973 but I’m not yet 35 (not until August). Is that why I couldn’t complete it? Has this happened to anyone else?
Yes, there have been several threads speaking about just this problem. As of January 1st, I've had to add a year to my age (the age I'll be in April). I think it is a programming glitch. Tricia has tried to address it, but hasn't had much interest from the company, from what I can gather. I have just resolved to be a year older until my actual birthday.Quote:

It was at the very end of an agonizingly long survey about car ads. I rarely qualify for the OTX surveys b/c my husband works for the media, a question I aways answer honestly. Ironically, the next time I tried at OTX survey, it started heading me toward that one again -- I quickly closed out!:rotfl:
Thank you Pat!
That is one thing I would love to be dishonest about but I wasn't. I will try it again today as being 35 :eek:
i finally got an otx survey today - first one in 3 days and it was the car one so i had to remember to add a year to my age or else i would get the dishonest message again (it has happened more than once). it worked and i got the thank you page and it credited. i do wonder if and when otx is ever going to fix this problem or do we all just have to remember to add a year to our ages just to get through this. well everyone - have a happy day anyway.:sunshine:
I hope they fix it so I don't have to remember it. My birthday isn't until December. That's a long time to lie. :)
I'm October. Sigh. I've been avoiding the surveys b/c of this.Quote:
