I got a survey today, but I was just nearly to the end that they had a problem of some sort and it cut me off with a nice sorry statement. RATS!

DH had one and the page would not load, we waited and waited until it timed out, refreshed. still a no go but got the you came back too soon page when trying again.

Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

DH got one tonight on a professional sport. Didn't ask for his age and gave him the "thank you" page.

Last night I spent about 20 doing the my thoughts offer and I was almost done and they asked for my age and I said 34 then the next page said I can not continue because they only want honest people. I know at the begin they asked for the year I was born 1973 but I’m not yet 35 (not until August). Is that why I couldn’t complete it? Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, there have been several threads speaking about just this problem. As of January 1st, I've had to add a year to my age (the age I'll be in April). I think it is a programming glitch. Tricia has tried to address it, but hasn't had much interest from the company, from what I can gather. I have just resolved to be a year older until my actual birthday.

I got that they only wanted honest people, too -- it never occurred to me that it was because of an age discrepancy! I wondered what in the heck I had done wrong. It was at the very end of an agonizingly long survey about car ads. I rarely qualify for the OTX surveys b/c my husband works for the media, a question I aways answer honestly. Ironically, the next time I tried at OTX survey, it started heading me toward that one again -- I quickly closed out!

Thank you Pat!

That is one thing I would love to be dishonest about but I wasn't. I will try it again today as being 35

i finally got an otx survey today - first one in 3 days and it was the car one so i had to remember to add a year to my age or else i would get the dishonest message again (it has happened more than once). it worked and i got the thank you page and it credited. i do wonder if and when otx is ever going to fix this problem or do we all just have to remember to add a year to our ages just to get through this. well everyone - have a happy day anyway.
