It so has to be a bug because I just won too. I have been with OO for nearly two years and NEVER won anything. I clicked a link to start a 25 point survey and instantly got the DNQ screen... which is not out of the ordinary for me, clicked No Thanks to the other survey offer and then clicked the IWG... won and almost wet myself.

thanks all .... I usually never win anything... ever.. so it was pretty awesome, hmm I hope it wasn't some bug, that would suck

Meant to check on this "bug," but I forgot I updated the Websense filters here at work and it threw me out of the survey :lol: I usually abuse my IT privileges by unblocking myself.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, recent $50 winners! I won with Opinion Outpost about a year ago. It surprised the heck out of me, too. My sister has also won the $50. Now, I'd like to hear about someone winning the new $750 Sweepstakes!

I think OO is messing with me because I won the 50$.. ok so I had like 9$ in my account yesterday and then last night I signed in and the balance was $-5.10 and i thought that was really weird. so I sent OO a message asking why I had a -5 and what happened to my 9 bucks.. they never responded, but today when i signed in my balance was $0.0.. WTF they kept my 9$

My winnings and earnings are still there. I was at $0 when I won because I had just requested a $200 check, the $50 I won is in there now as is the $13.50 I earned last night. If your total stays at $0 and they do not reply to your inquiry... my guess is you violated the rules somehow and you are SOL.

My points randomly disappeared and went back to zero too!!! Must be some sort of system error?

I checked out a few days ago, but had 21 points since that were there as of last night.

Edit:

Also, just saw in my survey history something real strange:

no i didn't violate anything,I cashed my $50 the day i got it and its processing, but then they took my 9$ that i had just earned and gave me -$5.10, then i messaged them and now its 0.... so im still out the 9$

See my edited post above, do you have something weird in your survey history as well? Seems like the same thing that happened to you just happened to me, however must have happened later, as on the time of your original post I still had my points.

Must have read it wrong, I thought you were saying that you were missing the winnings and your earnings. Give it 24 hours, bugs or errors like that usually get fixed in that period of time. I would hold off on doing any surveys until then.

Still waiting for an email back from them about this.

If points are missing, it's because OO is claiming that you did not complete that two-part cell phone survey where you had to call to test out the tech support service. I did, so I know it's BS. They asked for my participation number in order to check - who the hell would keep that after the points were credited?

wow, you're right, I didn't notice but now it shows 8/150 for that, plus the other weird stuff for the adjustment. How is it my fault, I called and took that test of the service, of which they knew less about how to use an iPhone than I do..... not like I remember my 4-digit code, ugh.

Sounds like the company didn't fully pay OO for the study and OO is trying to recoup its money.

I finally talked to a OO rep and they told me that i also did not "complete" that 150pt survey, which i definitely did. I remembered my ID number and emailed it back to them and explained my experience with the MTS in great detail ... since then I've had no response from OO.

I just called them to talk about this issue and the guy basically told me that even with my number (which I don't have), they wouldn't necessarily be able to verify as MTS isn't working with them to record which numbers actually called. He said they are "investigating" the issue, but wasn't sure if they would be able to figure it out. He apologized for the "inconvenience it caused" and noted that they only took off enough points to bring you down to zero, and didn't go further. So, since I had 21 points previously, after they decreased me from 150 to 8 points on the survey (net loss of 142), they then gave me an additional 121 to make up for the ones I already had. Basically, if you had zero points, you lost nothing, if you had 142 points at the time of the adjustment, you lost 142. Fair....?

But he told me not to worry, "they are looking into the matter." ugh.

I always dq on these.

I am thoroughly impressed with OO, I requested a $200 check on 06/28/2010 and received it today. This is the fastest I have ever received a check from them or any other company, it is especially impressive because of the holiday. Synovate should take note of OO's methods, as I am still waiting for a $25 check from them requested on 05/15/2010.

Agreed. I typically cash out on Wednesday, check mailed Friday, receive the following Tuesday. Can't beat that anywhere else! well, besides places with instant paypal ;)

This is good to know since I've never cashed out with them yet. I have over $100 in my account and was trying to keep it in there until just before Christmas (so I don't spend it). Was wondering how soon I should cash out. Thanks!

i am very confused.... first OO steals 9$, now they give me a mystery 30$, i had 3$ this morning and now i checked and have 33$ pretty weird...... and i dont know if i should cash out or what because if its some screw up they will just -30 my account after i cash out

It's probably not "mystery money", rather payment for a PT or Invoke you forgot about.

They went back and changed everyone back from the 8 points to the 150 points for the phone survey (well, maybe not everyone, but I assume at least the ones who complained with proof). When they originally took the points off, they had an "adjustment" so that you went back to zero. Example, they subtracted the 142 (150-8), but since I already had 21 in my account before the change, they "adjusted" be my 121 (142-21). Now that they changed it back to 150, they accidentally left in the "adjustment" in there, so there are extra points. In my account I incorrectly have my original 21, plus the 121 adjustment for 142.

Seems like errors all over, especially if yours shows an extra $30.

It's probably not "mystery money", rather payment for a PT or Invoke you forgot about.

I've never had an invoke from OO and as for PTs im not sure, ive only done 2.. shaving cream and a chocolate milk. none of which stated any extra payment. i checked my history and i have no explanation for the 30... my best guess is they double paid me for the 150pt survey once i showed "proof"(my ID #) of the survey... anyway i cashed the 30 so im happy:D

My money was returned today. Love OO.

They pay super fast. Last I check my check was processing but than it arrived in my mailbox! Really impressed & its my first payment. I think all earnings I earn there now will be saved for the holidays.:worship:

Hm that's weird I haven't gotten credit for that same survey, I e-mailed them though. I mean I have a Blackberry 8900 and I called in they took my unique ID number and then I talked to them about my e-mail with T-Mobile because it was acting up and they actually talked me through resetting the e-mail, got through to the technical survey at the end finished that and it said goodbye no points though, only the 8 points from completing the actual 1st part of the survey. Let's see what the customer service says.

there is a invoke today for $25 i cant remember the number.....but does anyone remember what time it starts?

Thanks! I'll be watching for that. Meanwhile, I'm being bombarded with OTX surveys from OO. I probably received three today and a couple yesterday. Of course I don't have the courage (or rather patience :O) to open them.

Is anyone else noticing way to many OTX coming from OO lately?

I think it was here that someone pointed out that you can specify that you do not want to receive OTX surveys from OO. It's in the profile area. I changed mine to say that I was unwilling to receive them. Life is good.

I've done very well with OTX surveys I have to say it's surprised me lately....Maybe out of the last 10 or so I've fully completed 7 of them. I've been off OTX for a while but I figured why not, maybe they realized that no one will take them and they're getting a little more lenient with their screenings.

Has anyone completed survey # 39263001...it was a 50 dollar study probably received it towards the end of october and I completed it on 11/2, 5 when you complete the initial survey and then 45 will be credited upon further review of your answers. I could go more in depth but I'm not sure what slickdeals allows coaching/commenting. I was wondering if anyone did this/was paid the $45 and if it came in on their OO points or as a sep. check. Thanks guys.

Make sure you have all of the "old" plug-ins deleted from your last focus groups. I FINALLY figured that out 5 minutes too late on my second focus group. AS soon as I found the old plug-in and deleted it, the new one started downloading.

The only thing I see on IE (I generally use Firefox) is the Roboform program. Maybe I'll delete that and see what happens.

I've never been able to get the plug-in for the past couple focus groups to work, so there shouldn't be anything there. Where would I find something like that?

I'm using the latest version. I also tried my husband's laptop the last time and it wouldn't install on that either. The tech guy said it might be a firewall that was blocking it, but I disabled everything I could find before attempting to install it. Maybe I'll just fool around some more. I REALLY appreciate everyone's help and ideas!! :hug:

I had to roll my IE back to version 7 because Invokes stopped working after updating. I never update my IE anymore because of that but I do make sure my Windows Media Player and Flash are updated a couple days before I do an Invoke. When they are wrapping up at the end of a session they have the automated "How much did you enjoy the session?" and "Would you be interested in participating in future sessions?" multiple choice prompts, after which you can enter some feedback. I always suggest the same thing... "Start hosting sessions in Firefox!".

Ahhhh....I wonder if that's the culprit! I will uninstall and download the older version. I agree, I cringe when I have to use IE. Would be so much better to be able to use Firefox! Thanks again for your help. :)

Just as with any other survey people do or do not qualify for... it is about demographics. The only things I can think of other than that which might prevent you from qualifying is when you answer as to what OS and browser you are using.

I do Invokes with Internet Explorer 8 with no problem.
The best way to do this is when you install a new version of the browser first uninstall Invoke plug in. Then update browser and when its time to do the Invoke you will get a warning on your browser asking if you want to install the plug in- click yes- install. After installing the Invoke on your new version of IE you might have to close down your browser, open it up again and click the Invoke study link to start the Invoke.

Just did the 100 pt (not really a pt as you state) follow up, pretty easy.

I received the same just a bit ago. The original survey with the 1/2 hour video was on 11/29 and said I'd get the follow-up by 12/3. It sure was a relief to see it show up tonight! ;)

Heads Up

Survey Reward: 15 Opinion Points!
Survey Length: 15 minutes
Survey Host: emi
Survey #: 36176089

leads to an invoke on the 15th or the 13th, $20 check

I'm thisclose to quitting OO for the second time. I got pissed and opted out a couple months ago because I kept getting 75% throught surveys and then it would DQ me. Well I saw how well everyone else on here was doing with them, and rejoined. Now the same thing is happeneing again. When I emailed them about it, they just told me I should complete the profiles...I'm really about to quit

AHHHH! They're starting to get the same 15 minute magazine survey that SS has been offering non-stop for the past 3 months.

At least OO woll pay you 18 points for your time.

been getting those for months, usually never do them from surveyspot, your right at least you get 18 points through OO. But the magazine surveys are super easy love getting them from OO

The ones you get must be better than the piece of modern-day torture in front of me.

You get used to them after a while....enjoy the $1.80.

Yeah those magazine surveys are the best, same set up every time and I can just sorta space out while doing them and watching tv :)

I love their surveys.

Survey Reward: 40 Opinion Points!

Survey #: 68021743

Doesn't take anywhere near the time quoted and leads to a nice PT.

OO is being wonderful to me this week, today especially (11 surveys in one day).

OO has this awful habit of qualifying me for enough surveys to be just .20 to .30 short of $5, and then disqualifying me from surveys for the next week or so. Its so frustrating!

I like the magazine surveys too, they are easy. I have to say tho, that overall I like lightspeed's surveys much better than OO's. They are more interesting and not the dreaded OTX ones.

I didn't catch the survey number, but the 10 minute/8 point one leads to joining the IDS Panel, whatever the heck that is,

I just got my 1st one for a $25 Amazon GC. Pretty interesting and took less than the 30 minutes estimated. I hope I get the GC.

Received an invite today in my email from IDS Panel, didn't realize it was from OO until I finished the survey. When I went to the OO site, I didn't see that survey listed in my completed survey section, hope I will get paid. And I agree it was a very interesting and different survey, I enjoyed taking it too.

So i've been using Opinion Outpost for well over a year, made near on $400 and now i go to log into today and they say my account is frozen.. anyone had any luck getting it unfrozen? I play by the rules for the site but now its frozen... I'm really hoping they can get back to me on this.

Call them on Monday and ask for Kendra:

thanks a bunch i'll do exactly that

Sorry if this is a nooby question, but I just did my first survey.
It is marked as "awaiting status". How long does it usually take to be completed?

It depends entirely on the study. Most are immediate. If they take longer than a couple days OO will send you an email to let you know that the study has credited.

OO is by far one of the best when it comes to stuff like this. That and the fact that when you request a check from them you generally receive it within a week (I have received in as little as 3 days) makes them one of my favorite companies.

Got paid today! It took me a few minutes to figure out where it came from.

Wow, I never thought people actually won those $50 bonuses. I wonder if anyone has won the $750.

It is a good thing I called today as I noticed I had not received any surveys from them since about 1/5. I called and sure enough my account was frozen and it was due to the fact that I got a new laptop and I had to explain that my old computer broke and started using the new machine. I guess they wanted to make sure I wasn't trying to take surveys under multiple accounts which was not at all the case. She was very nice and unfroze my account so hopefully I will see some new surveys come through now.

still trying to win that one! :) Congrats to both of you! :)

Had to turn my info over to Kendra for the 1099.

i'm hoping thats what happened to me.. i take them from home and work and received a lock out notice yesterday when i tried to log in.. he's supposed to get back to me today..

fingers crossed..

This is VERY good to know because I just bought a new computer today, to be delivered tomorrow. I had no idea they would freeze my account because of that. Thanks!

No problem. It was totally news to me. I felt a bit under interogation but when I explained the timeline it made perfect sense when she said that it appeared that i was logging in under two different computers when I had told her I just got the new machine since my old one was broken.

That's interesting, b/c I have never had problems - loggin in on my work computer and two computers at home.... I guess the key is consistency....

You just never know if they might have changed their policies or decided to spot check accounts. At least I am glad I called to find out what was going on as they are a great company.

They are probably my fav not that MyView has started a new trend of offering .25 surveys (although 350 points looks impressive, it still ends up being 25 cents). Viewpoint is moving up these days too (I admit it, I can be bought and a $200 flip cam makes a good down payment). OO is my most consistent pay-out and one of the few that always gives reasonable compensation.. I would hate to lose them too. Congrats on taking the time to clear up the issue and getting them back... and on the new laptop. ; )

So if we use a laptop sometimes do we email/tell them, and is that okay? What other survey sites offer good cashout like this?

What other survey sites offer good cashout like this?

Mine is not the most popular of demographics so I am sure that many do much better than I do but OO is my top lately.

MyView is still good, just not my fav and the key to them is going to their site and seeing if they have anything new.

I still really like Global Test Market. I may only qualify for 1 of every 4 they send but they send a ton and unlike SS and Valued Opinions, they have NEVER sent me .50 or 1.00 surveys.

Viewpoint Forum - they don't do a lot but when they do, they pay.

I-Say - OK yes, they pay low but they are good for a cool PT every now and then and, at least in my case, they tend to send surveys I actually qualify for and enough of them that I can pull a couple Amazon cards a month out of them.

The problem with asking who are the best survey companies is, it depends so heavily on your demographic. How old are you? How much do make? Married? Kids? Nationality? Number of days a week you wear toe socks, What did your great grandfather do for a living? It's all very subjective.

I give everyone a try within reason and then weed out the ones that are a complete waste of my time (cough cough MySurvey, hack, cough).

Good explanation for newbies. Thanks for the detailed response.

Well i went to log in today and it said invalid. I thought maybe i forgot my password because i rarely use OO. I did a password retrieval and it said my account has been "temporarily frozen due to data concerns". Whatever that means... Like i said i rarely use these guys and i only had about 5 dollars on there, who knows :P.

I would give them a call as I had an issue with my account and when I called them the customer service rep was very helpful and all seems to be fine now.:)

Just got an interesting screener question:

What type of PC do you own?
Mac
Linux
Other

... :lol:

What happened to the Amazon GC option?
And do they process check quickly?

I guess it's just me.
I've never cashed out before, so I have no clue.
O well. Check are fine :)

It's funny, I do not have that option, never have. I just get the check option. (not complaining - I like the check but still.....)

I've only ever had the check option as well, but today I got this message when I went to cash out:

What the heck? When did they change the cash out amount from $10 to $20? :(

I've only ever had the check option as well, but today I got this message when I went to cash out:



What the heck? When did they change the cash out amount from $10 to $20? :(

It was only $5 minimum for me. We must all have different options! :confused:

Yes- tonight they changed the check option to $20.
Anyone know about the citi card- any fees taken out? it says if you want it mailed to you they take out a $1.50.

The Amazon GC is still $5.

It was only $5 minimum for me. We must all have different options! :confused:

Oops, you are right it was $5 for me too, I just always waited until having at least $10 to cash out... :O


And I don't know what's going on over there, but now the Red Cross Donation is gone and it's back to this cash out option:

:confused:

I don't know what's going on over there, now the Red Cross Donation is gone and I'm only getting this cash out option:

WEIRD- mines back to $5 check too- hope it stays- lol

I went to cash out today (amazon). Mine had Red Cross min $10, amazon min $5, visa min $10, check $20. A year ago, my only option was check, minimum $5. A month ago, all minimum $5.

I'm not liking this new change. Also, sometimes I'll be doing a survey, and 10-15 min into it, it'll disqualify me (during the actual survey, not the qualifying pre-survey). Or I'll get an error at the end. Or the survey just won't load at all. It didn't used to be like this. I'm getting frustrated at OO now... it used to be my favorite survey site.

cashed out with my first measly $8. Not bad for a few weeks worth i guess...

all three are still $5 each on mine

all three are still $5 each on mine
mine went back down to $5 becouse I called them and said I was broke and need new underware.

I wonder if they are researching different offers? I still have 1 option - a check and a $5 minimum. Since they only do 1 check a week I always just wait til Friday and usually have at least $20 anyway so no big deal if they change the minimum.

I have noticed that far more surveys are going into pending these days than usually do. I used to rarely have anything go into "pending" but now 4 of every 5 that I do make that little lay-over.

mine went back down to $5 becouse I called them and said I was broke and need new underware.
What is underware? hehe

I just checked my account and I still have Citi, Amazon and a check all offered at $5 min. My checks used to be $10.

What is underware? hehe

I like having different choices, but hate the new $20 Check Minimum. Guess I'll start getting Amazon codes from now on when I cash out at OO... :(

Has anyone requested a check in the past 10 days? Are you seeing a longer turn around. Normally I would have received a check from my last request sometime last week but nothing has come.

I'm just wondering if their processing time has expanded or if my brainiac mailman has screwed up again and I need to warn them that the check may be coming back to them. (Saturday I received a boxful of mail for the roofing company three blocks away but none for me)

I requested a check on Jan 28 and got it Feb 7. The check before that arrived on time also.

I requested a check on Jan 28 and got it today. The check before that one came on time also.

Thank you! That is when I requested mine so hopefully all is well with it.

I am getting ready to request another and noticed that I now have all the new options. uess that's why their site was so sluggish today.

Eh I just got switched to 20 dollar check cash out minimum as well. First time they've changed that on me and I've been a member cashing out only via check for over a year. I guess it's better than getting rid of the check option completely.

Mine was changed also to $20 check, $5 amazon, $10 red cross, or $15 citi card. Oh well, I will just wait for checks to be bigger now.

Mine was just changed too. :mad: I loved the low payout amount.

i have $11 and try to cash out with Amazon GC's(says min $5) but it just loops back to the same page over and over again...:confused:

That was happening to me last night, with $15. Today it's taking me to the amazon cash out page then when I press the button it takes me to that page again.

OO should drop citi cards and add PayPal $5 minimum payout. PayPal is a lot faster than checks anyways. They should also drop donating to the red cross. If people had money to donate to the Red Cross, they wouldn't be taking 30 minute surveys for $2.00.

Multiple small check cash outs are why they raised the threshold. I prefer Paypal over all other forms of payment but I love the instant Amazon GCs (now instant email Amazon GCs) and the check option is not bad because mine have always arrived pretty quickly (I only request them over $100). I am not a fan of the Citi cards (or any similar cards) and I agree with Majax about the donations.

Oh well. I can at least add to my hoarde of Amazon bucks. Close to a Kindle, but want a sweet tablet!

I just cashed out for just under $10 Amazon this morning. It was the same as it's always been for me - almost instant code via email. Wonder why it's changing for some people?

That was happening to me last night, with $15. Today it's taking me to the amazon cash out page then when I press the button it takes me to that page again.

yeah, same here now too....i thought it was because i was only a member for 2 weeks or so...

Amazon cash is also looping for me, no success in redeeming.

Mine was changed as well.

Not liking these changes.
I understand that they are raising the check cashout threshhold because of having to issue multiple checks, but it stinks making people wait until $20 to cashout.
I get disqualified for so many surveys lately that it takes a long time to accumulate that $5, $20 will reallly take a while.
It would be much better if they just added a Paypal option like someone else said, and as another poster pointed out - who is going to want to donate $10 to Red Cross?

i donate occasionally, maybe once or twice year through Ipsos and now I'll do OO too..

This is the reply I got about having paypal as an option.

Hi XXXXXXXXXX,

As of this time, we are currently working with PayPal to make this a new reward option. We know for many of you that PayPal is a more convenient way to receive your Opinion Points. We are excited to be able to introduce this new method of redeeming Opinion Points to you soon.

In the meantime, please take advantage of our existing reward options. Should you have other concerns please email us.

Have a great day!

Regards,

I just won the $50 instant win! (I never thought that was legit)

I just won the $50 instant win! (I never thought that was legit)

Congratulations and yes the instant win and the $750 are both legit. Every 1,300 entries an instant winner is selected.

I tried the amazon gift code option today. I only had $5 on my account because i don't use OO often. The code was sent to my email instantly and i was able to redeem it on amazon. I might be using OO more often, i like the instant payment options.

Amazon cashout just worked for me and got code instantly. Was looping last night.

I don't know how people do so well with OO. I haven't qualified for hardly any surveys.

The most annoying thing about this company is that they have you fill out profiles and then they never adhere to those profiles.

Those qualifiers are generally for upcoming surveys, not the one you received the invitation for. They help determine if you prequal for ones they have have in the chute.

That is the main reason i rarely use OO. Most the surveys i DQ, but i don't mind so much because people really do win that $50 instant prize. I noticed a lot of the surveys want you to install software on your computer for a month, i definitely avoid these. The site should be about taking surveys, not about installing random programs.

After i made $5 with them i noticed they blocked my account. I sent them an email asking why and they said i severely sped threw the surveys and they gave me a second chance giving my account back. I take the surveys at the same speed as i do on SS and i never got in trouble with them. These survey companies are overly strict in terms of qualifying and the speed at which you do them. Out of 30 or so surveys i have tried i was able to complete 2 of them and i do them honestly.

yep same here DQ after several minutes into it.

Usually complete 1-2 then about 5 dq

OO has been throwing surveys after surveys at me

Hopefully I'll have time to do them doing the weekend if they're still there

Enthusiastic over $20 payout? Doubtful!!

I just can't get anything done with OO. I had a survey just now that said i qualified after 25% into the survey, spent 30 minutes going threw 100% then at the end it said i am not a match... There must be some secret to completing surveys from OO.

I love and adore OO but there is one thing I don't get. What is the point of their OTX surveys? They never seem to actually have one available for you they just cycle you thru the same questions over and over. I do rememer one time actually getting a survey first time thru but at this point I answer 4 questions. If #5 is part of their ridiculous system, I walk away. (Have you noticed that GTMs OTX surveys are ALWAYS sweeps entries only? It's like a masochism test... ok, yeah, you'll do this for free, but just how much will you you do for free)

Just realized the cash out threshold is $20 now as opposed to $10 :( Bummer.

I avoid OTX surveys whether they come from Opinion Outpost or some other panel. At least Opinion Outpost gives you a warning that the survey is from OTX. You can also update your profile and let them know that you don't want to receive OTX surveys. I did that several weeks ago. A few have still slipped through, however.

So the meaning to OTX is a survey that does not pay? So far i have always been offered a survey that pays but looking at my history i have only qualified for and completed 4 out of 60 surveys over the span of about 6 months. I might get a new survey every 2-3 days and chances are i will not even qualify for it.

I got paid by OTX once or twice but i usually get DQ pretty quickly

So far i have always been offered a survey that pays but looking at my history i have only qualified for and completed 4 out of 60 surveys over the span of about 6 months. I might get a new survey every 2-3 days and chances are i will not even qualify for it.

OTX surveys from Global test Market never pay. It's almost as though they know that OTX is a hot mess so all they offer are sweeps entries. OO does offer pay for their OTX surveys but they very clearly warn you that OTX is going to put you thru the ringer and 9 times out of ten, at the end, give you nothing.

I think most survey takers learn very quickly that OTX is an exercise in futility and avoid their surveys like the plague. Every so often I get a tinge of masochism and take the leap. 9 times out of ten, I regret it.

I must be an exception because I have done fairly well with OTX surveys on OO when I bother with them.

I just completed PRJ-02790-43H0 for 10 credits, and at the end of the survey it had me read an agreement. Basically it seemed to say that I would be using products as part of their study for this week, and wanted my agreement to keep it all confidential, etc etc.

Does this mean that something is just going to show up at my house? I wasn't asked for an address, or my permission for them to send me anything... but part of the agreement involved my use of products.

Having never seen this before, I'm not sure what to expect.

If they did not ask for your address they won't be sending anything. i have had it happen once or twice before. I could be that the product testing aspect of their study is filled or completed and they just needed to augment the informational part.

Thanks for answering! I'm a bit disappointed that I missed out on the study, but sort of expected it too.

I got into an invoke for Tuesday at 11 EST.
Can post the number right now because I'm on a phone, but the survey was 5 minutes 15 points

I just reached $20 again so I was able to finally cash out.

PRJ-02790-43H0 leads to a live chat for an additional $6. :D

Yep sometimes get 3-4 a day and 1 after the other get the DQ and then a prompt asking me if I want to try a different one which I also get DQ on. Pretty frustrating

A stupid question about these OTX surveys- are these the ones that lead to opinionsphere.com? I can't stand these- the same long drawn out qualifying questions. I always end up X-ing out of these. If I can opt-out of these without having to open them I'd be a much happier survey taker.

anyone thats interested ,,,,its still possible to cash out (check) if your 50 cents under $20

It is opinionshere

I still love OO, but I'm not getting as many survey invites nor qualifying as often as I used to (well I did get $4.00 for one today). That one put me at .80 cents shy of $100.00 and that's because I won the $50 instant win three months after I signed up. Considering I'm new at this, I think $100.00 is pretty darn great! I just recently noticed that my cash out threshold went from $5.00 to $20.00 and that's only because I saw it mentioned on a forum somewhere. Looks like it'll be Amazon for me next time around after cashing in. Anyone ever get the Citi card from OO?

Don't like DQ'ing, but I'd rather DQ early into a survey, than go 20 minutes and then get DQ'd. That is really frustrating and frankly unfair. I know, I know...my mama used to always have to tell me that "life isn't fair". Guess I still haven't learned that lesson!

For me, compared to 80% of other survey companies they are better. I've never worried that they wouldn't respond to my email (imagine that, a company responding to emails).

I got the invoke too...looks like we'll be in the same group

Opinion Outpost rocks! My 1# survey group!:bounce:

i think their customer service is pretty bad actually...i've completed surveys and then had a technical error...they'll respond to the complaint but say they cant do anything for 2-3 weeks. then they'll either ignore you or give you half-credit in good faith but make you feel like they are doing you such a big favor

i had to file a BBB complaint once...if forgot if i filed it against OO or WesterWats but it went unanswered so i filed again against the other. they said they were only agreeing to credit me because my first complaint went unanswered and that they offer a $50 instant win for DQ and that should be good enough

overall i think they are one of the better companies but when you encounter technical errors and complain about it they make you feel like you're the bad guy

:mad: Just completed survey 68097861 for 15 points, and got the final "Thanks!" message (have a screenshot). After clicking through, OO told me I didn't qualify. The one or two times this happened before, OO told me "tough luck". Has anyone ever had luck getting credited for a completed survey with something like this? It was just 15 points, but still!

Send an email with the screen cap to Kendra at kgille (at) opinionology.com, and she'll fix it for you. :hug:

I have had this happen in the past and emailed them. It is rare but might have happened 3 or 4 times with them over the years. They respond promptly and tell me too bad with a canned response.

So I guess I could have just said "no" instead of typing that boring paragraph. What an ass I am.

Hello! Anybody knows about the Nielce something company? Few days ago I got a survey from OO, and after a few Qs I this Nielce questionary appeared asking me to agree to download something..I didn't, just closed the survey. But they keep sending to me the same survey.. Any ideas, opinions? Thank you!

It is Nielsen, it is not worth the effort for the amount of compensation offered. Ignoring those invites is the best way to handle it.

HU - the 5 min survey for 5 pts (36222346) is more like 20 minutes. I shot off an e-mail asking them to remedy.

:iagree:

The "x" button is your friend in these situations.

The past couple days they have sent me a survey for Ipos or something and as soon as it logs to the same site my Malware comes up so I have no idea whats up with that site and I don't get why it keeps sending me that same flipping survey,driving me insane..I just cant seem to get the link only because I want to shut the site down...anyone else getting this same survey?

they keep sending me that Nielsen one too...i think its prob a toolbar that they want to install...

Will it work if we install the Nielsen thing on a computer we don't even use

I constantly get that Nielsen toolbar survey, I close out of it every time and it lingers in my 'available surveys' until a NEW Nielsen toolbar survey is available.

I had a problem with one of the surveys I had done not crediting. When i wrote them about that issue I explained that I had no intention of installing the software on my system and asked them to remove the Neilson along another survey of the same type from my que.

Two days later they had fixed the crediting issue AND removed both of the surveys.

I love OO! :)

Their 'remedy' was saying that they meant to credit 8 points instead of 5. Yes, because 80 cents is waaaaayyyy better than 50 for a 20 minute survey.

I am constantly getting dq now I qualify for 1 in 9 (this is also after removing the otx) I think they are tring to get me to cash out before I reach 20 (required for a check)

I just did my first invoke and I'm a bit confused on payment.
Will OO pay me for the invoke or Invoke itself. Because I don't think invoke ever asked for my address

OO will pay you, as long as they quoted you payment for the invoke. some companies pay within 2 weeks, it depends on the time frame you were provided..

o wait. OO was the one that brought me to the survey. C&R Research was the one that sent me the invoke emails.

site is down

Maybe I'm just not the type of person they want for a lot of surveys or I arrive too late to take them (not on 24/7), but I've been going the exact same number, 1 in 9. I'm surprised because I'm a male and I thought survey companies have a hard time getting male survey takers.
