First post has been taken over by the Mods. It now contains important info regarding OTX surveys. Hope this helps.

Today I was trying to qualify for one, and after several tries, got the "limit of surveys in our system" message, even though I have not done one.

OTX recently changed and you have to enter an email address even if it states its optional.

They are now on a strict 24 hour timer and will let you know if you are too early.

Also if you want to avoid being called a cheater or dishonest you must add 1 year to your birthday in 2008 even if your birthday hasn't passed. OTX has a glitch in their system they have not fixed that assumes we were all born on January 1st and we are all 1 year older. So for example, my birthday is in September and it is April. Obviously my birthday hasn't passed but OTX says it has so I add 1 year to my age and voila! no problems!

FWIW, they now have the little button next to email marked red, meaning it's one of the "required fields". I noticed the other day those little checkboxes for signing up were gone, and just realized that email was marked required now.

They sure are on a timer! But they are very very HELPFUL, in that their message tells you when to come back! I've been writing down the time I finish survey (and survey/offer hybrids like OTC, lol) but still, it's nice that they do that.

I can't help but mention that if your birthday HAS passed, don't add a year. If you've had this year's b'day, you're golden.

what is wrong with otx surveys today? i have been trying since 6 this morning and first i get the page cannot be displayed and when i hit refresh i get the spiel about reaching my limit for the day. how is that possible as i have not done one since early yesterday morning. this is so frustrating and UGH!!!

This has happened to me for 2 days now. It keeps saying that I have reached my limit and I have not done one since Wed. morning. Cookies are cleared, information is valid....not sure what the deal is....

i didn't have any problem with getting one yesterday so i have no idea why this is happening. i too have cleared out all my cookies and used the same email address so i guess i am going to give up on otx at least for today as it is not worth the hassle. i hope you have a good day.

Yeah! I got one! I used my regular email address instead of my gmail address. Not sure if that is how it worked for me this time, or if it was just luck.

if you're trying to get into otx and it's not working b/c it says you've reached the limit when you know you haven't-perhaps clearing cookies and trying another e-mail address (if you have one) might work? just a thought...

[marcymajor]

i did both of those things and i am still not having any luck - i guess it's just not my day for otx surveys. maybe tomorrow will be a better day (keep your fingers crossed). thanks anyway and have a great day.

[iluvamystery89]

hmm...i'm sorry it didn't work. that was my only bright idea, lol. maybe if you wait an hour or two and try again? ty and you have a great day as well
