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.

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!

thank you for helping me realize that surveys are not the end all to end all and that i should not stress over them. it's just like you said - if you qualify you get the money and if you don't well you don't. i guess i can try again later and try to limit my stress over these. thanks again for your understanding and support - it is greatly appreciated and i mean that a lot.

Same thing happened to my DH yesterday. He couldn't get a survey on any of the sites. OTX had been especially frustrating for him because most of the time he does not receive credit for the surveys he completes. I agree with PSL1013. 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.

I have no problem getting them, I just can't get them to credit.

**bellanlivismom** · 03-06-2008, 07:32 PM

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.

**marcymajor** · 03-06-2008, 07:49 PM

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.
