 Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 11:35 pm Post subject: OTX Changing rewards program? |
 |
|
Anyone know if OTX has changed their rewards program? I logged onto my account for the first time in quite a few weeks, and noticed that the awards program choices had been changed to $5 cashout for donations to Unicef and AmeriCares, and $10 cashout level for Reward Choice GCs. The point levels are the same as previously (i.e 4500 points for the $5 level and 8000 points for the $10 level), and I can still get my beloved Amazon GCs, but I would be saddened if they had taken away the just added this fall $15 cashout for 15000 points. I suppose it could be that the 15000 point level is merely not showing as I don't have 15000 points, but that had never been the case in the past.
If anyone is in the know, please post. In the meantime, I'm going to send an email to "Emma" and see what the official word is

Nope, you're right, there is nothing other than that right now (and the reward gc just came back...for awhile it was just the charity donations.) And I have over 15,000 and don't see anything else. I am sitting back and crossing my fingers for now that the rest come back.

I have notice the change as well. I can honestly say that it has affected my decision as to do there surveys or not. I have so many paid survey opportunities that I must chose my surveys carefully so as to not waste my time.

Okay, got an email response from OTX. It does look like they removed the 15000 point level (that's too bad). Here's the text:
| Quote: | Hello, Thank you for your message, at this time we do not have plans
to offer the 15000 point level, but we will keep your suggestion on
file for future reference.
Thank you for being an active OTX member.

Huh, they got my gender wrong, too (boy not girl!).

Anyone else notice they changed the terms of their referral program:
Notes: Bonus points credited to your account beginning 30 days after your friend joins and continuing for one year after friend joins; friend must be age 13 or higher; a limit of 5 friends may be invited.
Hmmmm.....

Hadn't noticed that..However I have noticed that I am not rec'ing any where near the amount of surveys from the actual OTX survey site itself that I once was...Instead I am doing more and more OTX surveys thru other survey sites such as Opinion Outpost for example with what seems to be a much smaller point pay-out...
At one time OTX was one of my favorite survey sites...However anymore they are just starting to pluck my last nerve...I currently have almost 100,000 points at the site (due in part to all the referrals I had sign up under me when OTX was still offering more referrals than just the now 5 referral limit)...Will have to go to the site and check out the new referral policy they now have in effect....
