I agree. I tried to do an OTX this afternoon, but I didn't qualify for ANY of the surveys they send my way. I finally got the "Sorry" page. I waited until DH got home, cleared cookies, and he was able to successfully take a survey.
I especially get a kick out of it when it starts to send you to a survey, but before you know where you are going, it tells you you already took that survey so you're not qualified to take it again. NO KIDDING!
Well looks like whatever it was is ok now- I was able to complete a suvey!
Well, I was able to get back in - but then it only gave me 2 chances at trying before it said sorry but you did not meet the criteria for taking a survey today. Oh well - you don't win them all!
I got one. A LONG one. With umpteen commercials, questions....and now it looks like I'm not getting credit. :computer:
I get this page every so often. I just close it out, do a couple of other things, and come back later. Tonight I am getting the exceeded the maximum surveys page even though I haven't done an OTX survey today.Quote:

I have noticed them suddenly appearing around 10AM to 11AM, so I'm thinking they are manually put there by Tricia. However, that is only my guess.Quote:

2nd night in a row I've done an OTX survey, and now it looks like 2nd night in a row I am not getting credit. I get the 'thank you' page at the end. Is something going on, or is it just me? :confused: :( I'm so bummed! This money is seriously what puts me between #16 and #14 on the Big Board.
These are tracked totally by cookies so you have to make sure that you clear your cookies before you do them. If you do it one night and don't clear cookies before you try the next night you won't get credit. So make sure you clear cookies between attempts.

ok, I'm very new to these surveys. But I just took a rather long one with commercials & opinions to get to the demographics and get a response that I did not give honest answers :confused: :computer: :confused: therefore my survey was rejected.
Nothing like making me feel like a cheat.
Join the club! I know this thread is VERY LONG, but if you have the time to glance at a few postings, you will quickly learn that OTX has a computer glitch on their site that became apparent the 1st of this year. If you have not yet had a birthday in 2008, you must enter your age at a year older (or what age you'll be on your birthday in 2008), or the computer tells you that you are dishonest. Crazy as it seems, the site doesn't seem interested in correcting this error. Read through this thread a bit and you'll get the idea. Good luck!:sunshine:Quote:

That's funny - and oh so true!:rotfl:Quote:

I just did the same thing :computer: .... now I can't do another one... Does it open it up later in the day?Quote:

The one time I messed up like that I just said screw it and didn't try for the rest of the day so I"m not sure if I could have gotten one later or not.Quote:

Aargh! I just did this one too and forgot to add one to my age! I cannot believe I forgot to do that! Then the irony of getting the "honest answers are vital" message! :rotfl:Quote:

Okay. I finally got the other "thank you" page. When you receive this one, you won't receive credit. Problem is, the two pages look exactly the same. So, if you don't look at it closely, you may not realize which page it is.
OK, I cleared cookies and tried again. I hope i get credit! It's just weird, cause sometimes i do these OTX surveys several days in a row without clearing my cookies. Odd how sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
So far, I've done two of these surveys and haven't gotten credit for either of them. I did clear cookies before taking each survey and have been using Firefox. (My IE shuts down on me with no warning. :( ) Any thoughts as to why no credits?
when you have completed the otx survey do you get the thank you page that says thank you, we appreciate your participation in this survey, we hope you'll continue to participate in future surveys as we value your opinion or do you get the thank you for your time and your willingness to share your opinion with us but unfortunately you did not meet the criteria to take a survey today. they do look the same as the both say thank you but only the first one will give you the credit you deserve. i know how frustrating this must be for you as it happened to me a lot in december (at least 10 or 12 surveys). the only thing i can suggest is to keep clearing out your cookies everyday and to keep trying - that's all i have done and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. i know this probably doesn't solve your problem but i did want you to know that you are not the only person that experiences these problems and i have empathy for what you are going thru so keep smiling.:sunshine:
Thanks for the reply! :) I did get the thank you for your participation message twice. It's kind of frustrating for me because I don't qualify for surveys, can't get things to credit (except shopping), and now, can't get these to credit either.....:confused: I need more Disney money!:rotfl:Quote:

I just spent an hour on an OTX survey concerning travel and I got through everything and all the classification questions and it told me I lied about my age (which I didn't!) and my survey wouldn't be counted!:cry:
I'm so angry and frustrated right now ... I hadn't been able to get a my thoughts count for over a week, I finally get one and this happens ...
The age thing is so frustrating and I guess it won't be fixed so we have to lie about our age until we have our birthday. My birthday isn't until the end of December, so I pretty much have to remember this for the entire year.
It is very easy to forget sometimes to "correct" your age. Would it be possible to have a SR note in the offer directions to remember to enter the age you will be in 2008?
i have been trying since around 3:30 this afternoon to get an otx survey and i keep getting the page that i have reached my limit for the day. i haven't taken an otx survey since yesterday so this is really very frustrating. i have cleaned out my cookies and deleted my temporary internet files so i don't know why this is happening (it has been over 24 hours since my last otx survey). ugh.:computer:
I did my first one today. I got to the thank you page so hopefully will get the credit. They only asked my age at the beginning of the survey! SOOOOOO I am keeping my fingers crossed!! I did not realize that these counted towards our total surveys last month so I am psyched to get all surveys this month:angel:
Hmmm. Maybe I am misunderstanding your post, but these surveys(My thoughts count/OTX) do not count towards the survey, as far as the bonus is concerned. The ones for the survey bonus are the Greenfield surveys that you access through the EARN DAILY link.Quote:

I'd been having really good luck with these.
I just did one at 11:30am that should of credited on the noon hour but didn't, now it is saying that I've exceeded my number of surveys for the day? Darn, I haven't had this happen before to me, there must be a tracking problem on their end? :confused:Quote:

Once I have done one, even if I don't get credit, I have never been able to do another one for 24 hours even if I clear cookies and personal data. Sorry you didn't get credit! I seem to remember at some point that this happened and some people got credit the next day, so I think there may still be hope. Good luck!Quote:
