Initial OTX impressions

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with my first 6 weeks with OTX. I would be curious to hear other people's impressions/experiences with OTX.

I think it is not uncommon to hear complaints about how third party OTX surveys tend to be buggy & frustrating (I'm thinking specifically about one's I've gotten through Gozing and Greenfieldonline), with the repeating questions or the sudden drops, errors, and "hanging" screens in the surveys. While I'm still gun shy based on poor past experiences with their surveys, actual membership seems to be going pretty smoothly, so far. The timeline has been like this for me:

Week 1: Registered with OTX.
Week 2: Nothing
Week 3: Nothing
Week 4: Received 2 surveys, and qualified for both. One was for 2000 pts, the second was for 2500 pts.
Week 5: Qualified for one survey, got 2000 pts.
Week 6 (Today!): Qualifed for one survey, got 2000 pts. I then clicked on redeeming 8000 pts in exchange for a $10 certificate. I received a in-site confirmation message stating to expect the GC within 72 hours. Surprisingly, the electronic payment was in my email inbox almost immediately!

I guess time will tell if OTX consistently stays this good, but this is a fortuitous start.

I also think this is a good site. I registered there on Aug 1st and on Aug 2nd I got a survey for 2000 points. It's very easy to get gift cards there it seems. I give it an A+.

Hi,
Good so far from me too, though was also cautious as have suffered the problems mentioned receiving them from other sites. Only had 2 surveys in 6 weeks or so since joining, but was amazed to find that they qualified me for a $5 voucher. Other sites take forever to reach a similar level. Hope it continues!!!!!!!

Looks like OTX upped their referral cap from 5 to 50. I put the OTX site up in the directories, with the link pointing to our referral exchange. Just don't forget to delete your post if you get 50 referrals.

Just my 2 cents here...I too have had only positive expierences with OTX since joining a couple weeks ago...Aleady have earned 6800 points.... Thanx for the info. on upping the referral limit as I thought I was losing my mind...Because one day I read it was a 5 person referral limit and the next day it said 50!!! So I don't need to have my eyeglass perscription changed after all!!!
