Do survey sites even care what IP you are on to do surveys with? Was just curious if anyone really knew. Like. Is it account/IP specific or can you go do the surveys from anywhere?

Ahh, thanks for the info. Yeah, I didn't see anything wrong with that in their TOS's.

Yes! Always log on on the SAME computer, with the same ISP (or IP, whatever that's called LOL.) This is how I got kicked off of Cash Crate. I accidentally logged on at someone else's house..And all of a sudden I got banned due to "fraud". Now, Cash Crate isn't really a "survey" site, but most survey sites that are also GPT sites seem to care the most. I think for sites like SurveySavvy, SurveySpot, and Opinion Outpost - they don't care, for whatever reason, but I know that if it's a GPT/Survey site you're talking about, definitely don't try it out. If you're confused about a particular site though, you could always shoot the admin an email or check the TOS.

Yeah, I know with GPT sites that I would never do anything on them outside of the original ISP unless I planned on moving in the near future(which I do, so I would probably have to inform them by email beforehand.)
I was talking more along the lines of Surveysavvy, surveyspot, opinion outpost, and the like.
Ehh. I never really earned much from CashCrate so I have to tell you you aren't really missing much. Unless you refer a good bit of people to it the profit is quite low.

I think they care, because some survey sites so not allow international members, or just allowed members from several countries. For example Bulgaria is not allowed in many survey sites, but I don't know why and I even don't care!

Well, I meant like. If you were in the US and let's say go to a friends house. I wouldn't want to get banned for taking a survey there, haha.

Not sure but I think once you are a member of one all you need is your user name & pass word in order to log in. I use the same provider but change my IP address all the time and never have any trouble. Why not PM the admin and ask if you can still log in from a different location and internet provider.

Well yeah, I didn't see anything in any Survey-only sites TOS's or anything saying you can't go logging on to different ISP's to take the surveys.. I mean afterall. if the surveys are getting sent to your email it would be feasible that they don't mind where you access them as long as you provide accurate information within the survey and when you joined.
The reason I haven't gotten around to PMing or emailing or anything for that matter is because it's more then one survey site I deal with. It would just go so much quicker when i'm on friend's fast internet connections.
