This is the one with a $5 survey last week, a $10 one this week, and a $25 one next week. I did last week's survey fine, but, although I got to this one (36038150) within minutes of it hitting my inbox, and we're supposed to have thru Monday to do it, and this isn't supposed to be first come first served in any case, I got an error message that it's no longer available. Has anyone else gotten this survey? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yea! What's up with this!? From what I gather, we can take it at our leasure but somewhat promptly.

I received one at 7:51pm then at 10:14pm EST. Both emails are identical and did not get into either.

So, JewBagel, did you get in? :wave:

If you didn't get the "original" invite (1st phase) from last week it would not show up on your surveys. Sorry :down:

I got the 2nd survey email, and this time the link WORKED!! :woot: :woot: :woot:

"Duke" is working late at the office (or, more likely, is working Saturday in India or Pakistan, lol); he just replied to me claiming that the survey is working. If it's NOT working for YOU, email him at

panel (at) opinionoutpost.com

If multiple people still have this problem, maybe he'll dig a little deeper into the tech issues.

I just logged in, and I have 31 surveys available? Some of them are super old, like from this time last year, and are listed as "started"?

How strange.

I also have a 95 point survey. Not sure what about yet, I just started that one.


Edit, nevermind, I just DQed from the 95 pointer, I think they were looking for world travelers.

31 surveys available!!!! :jawdrop:


You got me beat - I only have 25 and most of which are showing as "started". I'm staying clear of all that tonight!

Nice to see I wasn't losing my mind or something.

Look at the dates on the surveys, many many of them are from last year or longer ago. All of those surveys are dead, and have invalid links, Opinion Outpost is screwed up tonight

Hahaha, yea I have 18 surveys available apparently too! Anyways yes I'm doing the survey as well, super easy and it's a programme I actually watch and enjoy. I didn't even notice there were 2 emails with the same survey number, I clicked thru the first email tho and completed the survey ok. :)

I don't get emails from them at all anymore, although I know I am signed up with them. Weird...How can I get them to start sending me emails again?


Edit: Never mind, checked my account...I have 15 available. But they all say "started" and are from last year? What gives??? :confused:

I just got screwed on TWO OTX surveys this morning and sent a mild complaint to CS on these. This is ridiculous!

How can one spend 20+ minutes on cell phones, get all the way through, then ask about my travel experiences AND then get DQ'd!!!!!!

The second one cut me off mid-way watching a video that was working just fine and tossed me out on that one!!!!!

I was hot! :blowup:

Do what I do when I get OTX surveys from OO.. I screw up the survey data by entering absurd values like 99 years for age and when I go the the termination page, I select donation from the options available.That way I get the satisfaction that $.10 gets donated to charity.

Just finished the last survey, there is an interactive session at the end with a $5 bonus but I don't know if I will get the bonus because I got disconnected from the live session toward the end.

Was the last survey for only 25 OO points? If I remember correctly it was supposed be for $25 (250 OO points). I have a survey which mentions a chat session.

There was no mention of a possible chat in the email *I* got for today's survey, and no chat occurred. There WAS a reference to a possible chat in the email I got for LAST week's survey, with no specific $ amount mentioned; no chat occurred then either. There was no mention of a possible chat in the email I got for the FIRST week's survey, but there WAS a chat that time. Go figure... and can't wait to see when these chats get paid for, and if everyone who chatted gets the same amount regardless of week, mention of $, and what our emails said.

My final survey said nothing about a extra 5.00 chat. Congrats to the people who got it!

I did the chat immediately following the final survey and naturally found it rather odd to pop up as such. With that said, I took a screen shot because I had a gut feeling there's going to be issues down the road for payment.

After a couple emails back and forth with OO since 7/31, I supplied the screen shot clearly stating the five bucks and what the chat session entailed. It's really bizarre that apparently they (OO) had no clue of this chat session. :eek:

What's even more bizarre is yesterday a chat session popped up out of nowhere through another survey site for $5 and was awarded an Amazon GC right on the spot. I don't know if I'm at liberty to disclose who this is but it seems like a trend under way.

It pissed me off because I answered a dozen questions and as it was wrapping up I got disconnected. I knew I should have taken a screen shot at the start of the session and written down the guide's name.

If you did a chat during any of these surveys, the "chat points" that were supposed to have been credited weeks ago have appeared today... at least they have for ME, since I've been emailing them about it. I got $9.50 for my chat!! :)

It stated $5 but I just checked and I only received $2.50...

Email them and complain; they'll generally fix things if you harass 'em enough.
