i took a survey yesterday evening that i never got credit for. guess they were having trouble yesterday too. bummer can't qualify for anything today.
Stupid me. I got all the way through a long survey and mistakenly put in my REAL age. Forgot to add a year. Oh, well..........it's only 30 minutes of my time wasted.:cry:
Did everyone see the OTX survery is 85 cents today:cooldance: Thanks Tricia! DH just did a pretty interesting one about kids characters.
Has anyone else gotten a message that OTX is out of surveys right now for them? :confused: I'm going to try an offer, maybe try for another daily survey, and try again-but maybe it's just me.
ETA: It was under 24 hours. Duh. Ignore me-I'm spoiled by Greenfield's policy.

I just have to say...Thank God for the OTX surveys. The OTX surveys don't give me as many problems as the Greenfield(and SM) surveys. I don't need to bug DH at all to take OTX surveys and other than the age/dishonesty issue that was realized at the beginning of the year, I haven't had any problems with them. There just seem to be a larger variety of OTX surveys...I hardly ever come across the same one twice. And it just bugs me that DH's opinion seems to be valued more than mine at Greenfield. When I can't qualify, 99% of the time he can. Even though our demographics are almost the same(he is 5 years older and of course, male). But, I don't have that problem with OTX. I haven't had to ask DH to take any of the OTX surveys yet.
I think the survey shortage we all see with Greenfield is because they are all over every reward program out there as either Greenfield or Your2Cents (as seen on SR) plus both Greenfield and Your2Cents have their own survey program you can join. Since most people who are willing to take surveys are females there is just an overabundance of us taking surveys and filling in the demographics faster than the survey companies can keep up. Unfortunately most men aren't willing to take surveys and thus why we have to get husbands, boyfriends, male friends to fill in the surveys. I don't think its a "value of opinion" issue with Greenfield but rather a demographic thing that the survey sponsors are wanting..Quote:

I got this exact survey this afternoon and automatically put my correct age in and it called me dishonest etc. I knew this was happening to alot of people but honestly I never had any trouble....until today! I too will be adding a year to my age if I'm asked again. I tried sending them an email where it says report any technical problems but that didn't seem to work, all I got was a page can't be displayed or something? I wish they would fix this, it's not fair to spend 20-30 min. on a survey and then get disqualified for telling the truth. :computer:Quote:

It's just not worth putting in all that time and geting nothing for it.
i tried to do an otx survey early today as i could not remember what time i had done it yesterday and got the message to come back again in 7 hours so i tried again more than 7 hours later and now it says i have reached my limit for the day. what's up with that? it made me mad as i waited longer than requested and still no surveys for me. i am seriously thinking of giving up on otx surveys as they are becoming a big hassle and definitely not worth the time or the 70 cents. ugh.:computer: :computer:
I agree that OTX is not worth the hassle. They take all my info and then at the end always gives me an error message! It is frustrating to know they get the info, but do not pay for it. This is on my home computer, I can take them on my work one usually.
laura
just letting out my frustration :computer: stupid age. and we knew better to add a year but didn't as we were afraid w/ all the greenfield fraud hoopla. he just said this is crazy, if you want to go to disney that bad I'll give you a raise :rotfl: Can you put that in writing please!!! :rotfl:
Question!
Someone on the daily survey bummer announcement thread mentioned that they don't remember using an email address for the OTX surveys. I do notice that the email address "box" isn't marked as required, but I always put in an email address. Do any of you NOT put in an email address? Does it work? Can you still get credit?
I'd love to do anything to cut down on the typing and just get into the surveys, as long as it's within the rules!
Since this problem with fraudulent activity on GF, I was wondering if I could get some clarification on the OTX surveys. I have noticed that the OTX surveys skew to a younger demographic. I never seem to qualify but my DD does. Is it OK for my DD to take the surveys using my e-mail address? She would be inputting different demographics from mine so I don't want this to be viewed as dishonest. I realize I may be overly paranoid at this point but I certainly do not wish to be banned from SR over a 70 cent survey.
Ok I just said last night i was done with OTX, but since GF is not available right now, I did one this morning. It was LONG about 45 min about airlines, and it never asked for my age in the classification data. I really hope it credits. fingers crossed..... I did make it to the Thank you page, but I did the other day too and no credit for that one. :computer:
I don;t even have the offer up this morning. I hope that you get the credit!
We have gotten no feedback whatsoever on OTX surveys. So at this point, just keep doing what you are doing and be sure 1) not to take more than 1 a day and 2) not to ever take the same survey twice.Quote:

Thanks Tricia. The only surveys I do are the OTX and the GF and only on SR.Quote:

One is the age thing, but not HIS age. He was given the question about kids, and their ages. Should we put the age DS is now ("boy, 3 years") or the age he will turn this year?
The other issue is when we do run into a survey we have taken before. As soon as he hit the page about how many hours of a certain sport he might have watched, read about, downloaded, blah blah blah this week, we both knew he had done it (b/c I read that stinkin' page to him, getting his answers, while he was making dinner one night!). Well, with OTX, if you back out, you're done for the day, no credit, no getting back in as far as I know. So instead of backing out, I had him just leave everything at zero (considering that he had just answered that he is very interested with that sport I figured their BS meters would boot him out) and within one more page it said he didn't qualify. They gave him a few more questions for other surveys, but ultimately he didn't get one so we're done, inside of 10 minutes (probably more like 5).
Is there ANYTHING to be done, to back out of a survey he has done before (since he's taking the surveys from now on, darnit), that doesn't get him finished for the day without actually taking a survey?
I just got an easy one on retail shopping. 15 minutes tops and no age question.
I got one pretty easy today too :)
I usually don't have the patience to try lol but this morning I got lucky!!
where can I find this survey? Is it just for SM? I know I missed this somewhere!:confused:
if you are talking about the otx surveys you will find them under offers as my thought counts and it will have todays date next to it. i hope this is helpful to you.:sunshine:
Thank you! Thank you!Quote:

Thanks Catherine. I understand and appreciate that. But, I can't help but notice that OTX doesn't even ask for male/female in the demographics. It's just something that bugs me, I guess.Quote:

Well, maybe no one else has a survey shortage with OTX, but I do!!
It seems the last 3-4 days all I have gotten are the same questions that lead to surveys I have already done - and so after 2-3 sets of questions I get the thank you but you don't qualify for any surveys today. I can clear cookies, try again, and get the very same thing. So - where are some new surveys for me?! I can't get any love on surveys these days - GF and OTX are both spurning me right now!
My problem is not getting surveys but receiving credit for them. The last three days I have done an OTX survey, completed it, and received the "Thank you" page. I have yet to receive credit for any of those surveys.
Any ideas as to what might be happening? I hate to keep wasting my time on them if they are not going to credit.
not sure if this applies to you but before I start one I clear cookies and wait to begin it a little after the top of the hour.Quote:

These surveys are and have been since the beginning tracked by cookies. You have to clear cookies between doing them or you will get credit for the first one and none of them after that until cookies are cleared because the original cookie is still there. If you try these and they don't credit you can clear cookies and try again in the same day but you can only get credit once per day.
I have a question about clearing cookies. Right now I take these surveys on IE. I really don't want to clear my cookies each time since I use this browser for online banking and other functions. Is it possible to take the surveys in another browser like Safari or Firefox and use that browser strictly for the OTX and SM surveys? With all the inconsistencies in the GF mess, I certainly do not want to be involved in another "fraudgate" with OTX.
