I been getting a lot of reminders for a GTM survey which I had deleted as it was only for sweeps entry. Usually, I do not read them, just hit the delete button soon as I see "sweeps". For some reason today I read it. Have to give them kudos for their honesty. but I am still not doing it, especially just for sweeps. Just had to share.

Dear XXXXX,
:GlobalTestMarket is looking for your opinion. Don't miss out on being rewarded for sharing your opinions. Complete this survey today!

For this study we will be passing you to OTX, a survey partner of Global Test Market. OTX may attempt to determine if you qualify for multiple studies by passing you through several screeners during your session in an effort to find an appropriate study. GlobalTestMarket will only compensate you for a single event regardless of the total number of study attempts or screens you complete.

A new survey is available
Survey Number: xxxxx
Reward for Survey Completion: Sweepstakes entry

Sweeps entry is the first reason to delete, and OTX is the BEST reason to delete. LOL!

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS! after getting several "reminder" emails about the OTX sweeps survey, I finally got another 40 point GTM survey tonight, when I opened it it took me to OTX, I should have booted out then, but I have 975 points and I want to cash out. So I did the OTX survey - at least I did not have 10+ tries, but started one after the 2nd try. As usual, it was extremely long, with 2 -3 video and lots of print ads, lots of pages. after 35-40 minutes, I get to the end where they ask me to rate my survey experience, and the NEXT page it says " Sorry but this surv ey has been closed" If it was closed why did they let me finish?? Grrrrr! Hate OTX!

oh, and this survey invite did NOT say it would pass me to OTX.

Why wouldn't we believe this? It's all too common.
Did you email a complaint to Global?

Yes, I completed the form on the GTM website to report it - OTX must have quality standards to meet. The have four ratings to select at the end of the surveys for your "survey experience" -
If I remember right its like 1) Excellent, 2) Good, 3) Fair or 4) Poor - when I have selected 3 or 4, The surveys become "closed" - I assume this way they do not have to report their own stats.
