OTX Annoying Me

[Breeze88]

jnorth1007-what happens if we never get credit for an otx survey even if we do complete it and get the generic thank you page? i thought that the trifecta was if you completed all 3 surveys and i hate to say this but i did post that all 3 surveys were completed today. was i wrong to do that and should i delete that post?

That's what I did too and I just went and read what it says about entering the trifecta and it does not say anything about having to wait for the credits to post to enter. We probably should get clarification on this before we all have to start deleting entries.

This month, Sunshine Rewards is giving away three iPod Shuffles. How do you get entered?

In this contest, complete the Sunshine Rewards Survey Trifecta (Greenfield Daily Opinion Surveys, OTX Daily Surveys, and GiveUsYourTwoCents Daily Surveys all in one day) and post in this thread. You can enter each day this month. Contest ends on March 31.

Winner will be randomly selected from this thread. Winner may choose the iPod Shuffle or a $50 Amazon.com Gift Certificate.

Here is actually the clarification from Tricia from that thread:

You can post as soon as you COMPLETE all there. We will just verify the winner actually got credit before we award the prize.
So while you can actually post before you get credit if you are chosen as the winner they will check the date you entered to assure you actually recieved credit for 3 surveys for that date. KWIM? So you can leave your posts but honestly they won't count in the contest if you win if you do not have credit in your account for all three surveys. You don't get entries for completing them you get entries for getting credit for them.

I was one of those who entered the 'trifecta' prior to OTX crediting [Never did credit today] and I went to delete my entry, but found it was already gone...

Here is the link to where that clarification can be found in response to the question from Marcy about whether or not to wait for the surveys to credit:

I deleted it I figured it was easier for me to do it since I was in the thread already and could do both at once. As you can see there have been no posts about people getting the Trifecta today so noone is getting entries over anyone else. I would imagine this may signal an issue but I don't know for sure since the people in the forums are just a small part of the members and I don't know what kind of credits have shown up today. I will say that it seems odd. I explained that I deleted them to keep that thread clean and only listing people who recieved credit for all three surveys. Once Tricia gets back and decides what to do we can restore your posts to their exact position if need be. They aren't gone forever. Just temporarily deleted which is another perk of me doing it instead of you. I can restore it if I need to . Thanks guys and I have notified Tricia of the problem but I am sure she is spending the day with her family today and will respond when she gets back.

I didn't see that part, I don't always read the whole thread as they can get pretty long. Since I've never had them all credit for the same day even though I completed them I'll go find my entries and delete them.

I would say that if you don't know which ones are entries for credited ones and which ones aren't I would leave them. Once they pick a winner they will verify. If you didn't get credit for all three they will pick another winner. That way you can keep all of your entries.

I am going to go edit the original post of Tricia's to include the clarification in case anyone else was unsure it will all be in one place. Thanks for pointing out that there could be a little confusion because I never considered it.

Thank you for the explanation. It all makes more sense now. I'm a little confused today.

Add me to the list of people completing this 30 minute survey asking many questions, including financial, insurance and air travel. Knowing that there were problems today, I decided to copy a link near the beginning of the survey and my last page to possibly help SR track this issue.

Here's my early URL

Here's my ending URL

Here's a copy of my ending Thank you page:

Thank you!

Thank you for completing our survey! We hope you will continue to participate in future surveys, as we value your opinions!

Edited: I also opened a TT to report my findings. A while later, I actually received credit for this survey! I can't believe it!

I'm glad I read this before I tried an OTX.
