I took one between 4 and 5, and didn't get credited

I went back to try another, and I am getting this msg:

Welcome Back! We appreciate your enthusiasm and your frequent visits. Unfortunately, we can only accept one entry every 24 hours. If you would like to take part in additional surveys and increase your chances of winning, please come back in 23 hours. Until then, please enjoy these special offers we have selected specifically for you.
Thank you.

So I know I did it. But where is my credit? I hope I'm not the only one because maybe there is hope for me after all. I did one yesterday and didn't have ANY problems whatsoever. Now that I REALLY wanted to get one for the contest, I have an issue. BAH humbug!

If you didn't clear your cookies before taking the one today then you won't get credit. These are tracked by cookies. You would need to go in and clear your cookies and then try again. However, since you have to keep using the same address it may not let you try another one today since according to the program you have completed one today. If you did clear cookies before you took this one and after you took the one yesterday then you may have hope that it will credit on the next hour. If it doesn't then there is an issue on your end that your cookie wasn't there at the end of the survey so you could get credit. Most of the time when people don't get credit it is because they didn't clear cookies first and the system recognized the cookie from the last survey they took. HTH!

thanks Janet. I normally don't have a problem getting credit even if I don't clear my cookies every day. I've been doing really well this month. I wouldn't be so upset if it wasn't the fact that there's only 2 days in this contest and I missed my chance for the OTX credit today. I took mine yesterday during the day so I couldn't get in the contest with that one either. Bummer!

Just so that everyone knows, if you are getting credit without clearing cookies it is a fluke. It could be that your computer is clearing them for you automatically because I can tell you that you should not be getting credit without removing the previous cookie. If you guys want to be sure that you get credit then go in and clear cookies first. If you don't want to do that then you will have to deal with the fact that they won't credit quite often. HTH!

I second what Janet said, these you HAVE to clear cookies each day to get credit. I make it a point to clear them every morning before I start.

Yea. I clear cookies each morning when I turn my computers on.

but i did get the trifecta today for a change.

What survey is this?

I haven't gotten an OTX for the last 4 days. I keep getting the message, sorry no survey's for you, you must be doing survey's on other sites. Plus I have always gotten credit for OTX's without clearing cookies. But today I just cleared everything up and I am going to go try again.

It means they got the Daily survey, SM survey, and OTX survey all in the same day.

Additionally, OTX recently changed and you have to enter an email address even if it states its optional. It is now there way of tracking us and how often we do surveys. They are now on a strict 24 hour timer and will let you know if you are too early.

I agree with Janet and April above -> if you don't clear cookies you run the risk of the surveys not crediting. I have had that happen to me twice now so I clear before trying. Glad it worked for you in the past but apparently OTX has made some changes so we all need to adapt as well.
