Posts about daily surveys. Pls Read 1st Post. Updated 7/10/08

Ooh. That's not good if you had NOT taken it already.


But then thinking of it being helpful in other situations...on one hand, if they do that, it's kind of cool, b/c we won't retake anything by accident.

On the other hand..."The owner of this survey has indicated that it can only be taken once on each unique computer." What's the point of having a FAMILY account, if it can't be taken by different people in the family? Don't they want each person's opinion? I mean, I don't like football but DH does, so our answers on a sports survey are going to be different, and getting both of our opinions will be more indicative of the country.

So they could break it down by profile...ooh but what if there are identical twins? Triplets? More? living in the house and old enough to take a survey? Different people, different opinions...same profile...

I think too much. (I also created surveys for a year in college and think that computers and surveys are a bad mix! Shh, I didn't say that)

Ok this has now happened twice, first last month with a survey to join a financial panel and today with a cosmetic and beauty products survey.

Both times I was thanked and then sent to this other survey site.

http://ups.surveyrouter.com/SurveyTr...18&utcoffset=4

Instead of taking me to "Get Paid to Take Surveys Online │ Sunshine Rewards" it takes me to "Get Paid to Take Surveys Online │ Opinions"

Does that mean this other company is getting our survey credits?

I reported it on the greenfield problem link on the survey page in December but never got credit or a response. should I fill out another?

I know we can not report OTX problems but I am hoping somwone has a solution. Every day I try to take an OTX but I keep getting surveys with videos. After the second video of every survey I take through them, the next button never links. I can see it but I can not press it. I am unable to finish the survey and have to close the window and log back into SR. Then I can not take another survey that day even after clearing cookies. Therefore, I can not take a survey.... Does this happen to everyone? Is there a fix?
Please help if you can!!!

I got this today. Did anyone get credit for this???? I tried taking another suryvey and it is letting me, I guess that means it did not count.?? That would be awful to go through all of that for nothing. :computer:

Thanks. I am now a member of 2 groups. whoohhhhooooo. LOL. Both did not take me back to the Sr page but to a different survey place.:confused: I hope I get credit for one. I am still allowed to go into surveys though without the message that I have exceeded my limit?? I dont want to do another one and then they all credit and get busted for some fraud. I guess I will wait and see what happens. Thanks I will be waiting for the reply.

I just did the cosmetics one and got routed to the Opinion Surveys Site. These surveys are crazy!

Not really an *avoid*, but I got one with a warning it would ask personal questions....and it did. Just in case you SR with somebody you'd rather not answer stuff like that around, be aware.

I think I just got that one and apparently they didn't like my answers so I got the boot really fast.

I had taken it, but it did not take me back to SR. That was my main point. I did complete it, but b/c it didn't take me back to SR I probably won't get credit for completing it. I've only been able to get 1 this month (and not from a lack of trying), and I am bummed about it. :(

I hope that is enough proof that I did complete the survey. Of course there are now no other surveys for which I qualify.

Tricia, I sent you an email and reported it. Hope it helps!

This same thing happened to me yesterday. I seem to get most or all the way thru most of them and then get an error or get dumped out VERY frustrating

I started a survey after work today, but was still at work. Couldn't finish it before I needed to leave so didn't close it out, just minimized it. When I got home I was able to finish and it did take me back to the SR congrats page, then of course it asked me to log in to my account, but AFTER finishing and the congrats page. Do you think this one will credit? I forgot to check the exceeded limit page before I cleared cookies to do a SM survey and an offer. I certainly don't want to do another survey if it will credit, but don't want to lose a survey day. Any tech people who know the answer? TIA:)

Took pre questions for an alcohol survey... said I qualified to take the survey

Then gave me a page not found.

That happened to me too!!! As for surveys this month my luck has been all bad. Hopefully they will have more coming: ))

I got one that was a focus group invitation from a food company...ended, but no completed message.

That was the only survey I qualified for yesterday and got that same thing. Figured I'd pass it on to Greenfield though but doubt anything can be done.

Just coming to post about this. After I completed the survey, I rec'd a thank you, but it did not take me back to SR. I refreshed the page and rec'd

You have already submitted this survey (key=13837 dt=1/12/2008 3:51:13 PM). If you would like to start from the beginning, please go to: http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/96560/CON-...8011215521703* (SR)

(I used a star for the last number, I didn't know if I could post the whole link? I know the number so let me know if you need it posted)

Is this going to credit? Should I take another one?

If you don't get the already completed message when you go to take another survey, you might want to take another one.

Be sure to report that.

I got this today and it took my address and e-mail address and said thank you but I then had to go take another survey .

Same thing here. It asked a ton of questions, then I had to agree to join a community, be contacted get online, etc, etc. Gi the congrats gave name email etc said I was accepted and then took me to some new survey page!!
When I tried to take another survey I could, but did not qualify so I am pretty sure it did not credit. I will be very miffed if they send me an email and expect me to join their group.

I just stupidly tried to do some OTX ones. Kept getting disqualified. Finally did a game one and did the WHOLE thing. Got to the very end and the next screen said something like email to notify us of technical difficulty. I think this is a scam if this is happening to everyone. I mean, if we answer all the questions, they then just have to say there is a tech. diff. and don't have to pay for our time and answers, but still have our personal info.

i took one today on alcholic beverages and how many you drank in the past 7 days and when I got to the end, it told me to hit submit to complete the survey and then I got an internal error.

I got the same one and now there are no other surveys that I qualify for! :(

I did report it on the Daily Survey page, so hopefully Greenfield will get it fixed so that others will be able to submit their results and get credit.

today is definitely not my day for surveys - my whole household has tried but none of us can qualify for anything. i just attempted an otx survey on cigarettes, got through the whole thing, got a thank you and a page came up from global test market (another survey site) that said "sorry you don't qualify." what a crock that is after they got all my information and i spent about 20 minutes doing it. now when i try to do another otx survey it says i have reached my limit for the day and to try again tomorrow. I HATE OTX SURVEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

I agree with you about the OTX surveys. I just spent 30 minutes on an automobile ad survey for the MyThoughtsCount 1/13 survey. I got to the final classification questions, entered my age and hit submit. I was taken to a page that stated I had not answered some questions truthfully and therefore I was disqualified from the survey. I may not be thrilled with how old I am but I do not lie about anything including my age. I hadn't made any New Year's resolutions but I have changed my mind. I will no longer participate in any OTX surveys. My time is worth more than 70 cents and I am offended at being called a liar.

i got that same survey and that same message and last week and it really ticked me off - who are they to say that i am not honest about my age or any other information i am giving them - i'm 54 and proud of it so why would i lie about that or anything else. as you said, my time is definitely worth more than a lousy 70 cents so unless otx changes their survey practices they can kiss my participation goodbye.:cooldance:

Please keep this in mind per Tricia

PLEASE keep in mind that OTX is not saying that anyone is lying about their age intentionally. There is a glitch in their system right now such that if you have not yet had a birthday in 2008, it thinks that you are off by a year. It is not a judgment thing. It is strictly an error in their database that we have been seeing consistently since January 1 and I have not been able to find anyone to fix.

---

There is a problem w/ the OTX they are trying to fix. Basically your age is 2008 minus the year you were born, regardless of what month. Doesn't make it better that your time was wasted, I know, but they are not intentionally trying to deceive. The data gets dumped for unqualified surveys, so it was a waste of their time also.

Edit: Darnitall Catherine, you did it again LOL. I think I just type too slow :rotfl:

i understand what you are saying - i guess i am just so very frustrated that no matter how hard i try to qualify for an otx survey most of the time i get booted out by not qualifying or something or i get the thank you page but for some reason i don't get paid for the surveys i have completed. i hope you can see that i was just venting as i needed to get those things off my chest.

Thanks for the info.

Silly me. I did the OTX survey on cars today. Got all the way through, then forgot to add a year to my age. I know better and I understand the problem. However, I guess I wasn't awake yet.:( So of course I got the standard "dishonest" message, and now it won't let me retry. Frustrating!

Update: About 1 1/2 hours later, I was again ALLOWED to take a survey, got the same one, remembered to add a year to my age, and I got credit.

Me too. I got this one Monday morning. It did ask me about where I shopped and it took about 15 minutes. I'll try this afternoon and try another survey.

Forgive me if this has been answered, but the thread is over 200 pages long and I'm going crosseyed from trying to find an answer.

I know that if we're having trouble qualifying for a survey, we can get another household member to log in and try. I've been getting DH to do surveys when I don't qualify. But can he repeat a survey that I've already done? So far, I've been keeping a list of the surveys that each of us has completed and if we get a survey that looks like the other one has done, we back out and try to qualify for another one. Am I doing this unneccessarily? It sure would be nice to not have to drop doing a survey if I don't have to but I don't want to do anything that is against the rules.

Thanks for the help. And again, sorry if this has already been addressed.

I am not the end all be all with answers and rules around here so with that said I believe it is ok if you and he do the same survey since you are 2 different people with 2 different opinions.

Yep, I just got this one too. :(

Are the Greefield surveys having the age issue like the OTX surveys are?

Personally, I haven't found that to be the case. I have only found it with the OTX (My Thought Counts) Surveys.

Tried a survey this morning, not a lot of time invested but frustrating. Answered 2 questions and it took me to this page. Not to greenfield, not to sunshine. It just stopped.

http://ep.testandvote.com/ep-0_EN-EN_1.htm?tlid=4520312

Have yesterday's surveys posted yet? (from 1/15?) I'm wondering since SR is having site problems if the credits haven't posted yet? Thanks for any information.:sunshine:
