7 Ways to Get Banned for Paid Survey Sites

I’ve had a few people email me lately asking that they fear that their account may be deleted for inactivity, or even banned for no reason.  The last thing that you want to come across is a few bucks in your account and you find out that your account is banned.

I wanted to give you the top 8 reasons on why your account may be banned in the near future.  You will earn that as long as you’re good, you won’t have a problem.

#1 Creating multiple accounts: Don’t sign up with the same company 10 different times.  They have ways to track you, whether it’s by your IP address, your home address, or something else.  Keep it down to 1 account.

#2 Fake information: Don’t sign up with a fake name, address, or even phone number.  You will want to make sure that all of this is legitimate.

#3 Doing same offer: If you keep doing the same offer over and over again with a different account, it will raise red flags.

#4 Using stolen credit cards: If you’re into doing the “paid to complete offers”, you will find that if you attempt to use a stolen credit card, you will get terminated instantly.

#5 Referring yourself as a friend: Some companies will give you a bonus when you refer people.  If you refer people as yourself, this is an instant ban as well.

#6 Logging in through multiple IPs: You may want to play it safe and log only into where you signed up from.  If you signed up at home, try and log in only there.

#7 Doing a survey quick: Surveys are timed most of the time and you fly through them, this raises red flags.  If you’re just clicking without reading them, you will be banned.

As long as you play it safe, you’re going to find that you won’t get banned.  Read the terms and conditions, play by the rules, and you should be fine!
