QUESTION about sign-ups

[cherbear]

Ok, I have a question. If I use another member's computer (not the one I signed up on) to sign in with my own name and complete offers, will that affect anything?
Also, if I used a friend's computer to sign-in with my own name (not the computer I signed up on) but now they want to create an account of their own, can they still do so without any penalties? I did some surveys and offers at my Mom's house and now she wants to sign up on her computer. I just want to make sure it's ok.

Oh lordy this might cause a big mess. Two members cant use the same computer because offers track by ip address and it is going to show that 1 ipaddress is completeing offers for 2 accounts.

Your mom will probably have a hard time signing up on her computer if you have used it because the computer will already be associated with an account. We have had to become REALLY strict about people not using the same computers because of all of the fraud in the industry.

Good to know. She didn't sign up yet...so I guess she just won't be able to.

So it doesn't make a difference if the MAJORITY is on the main computer?

Understandable for that matter. So I should stick to my own computer to complete offers, then. If I do some at work and some at home is that ok? (another words, 2 diff. IPs for 1 account, not the other way around)

You can feel free to go back and forth between your work computer and your home computer without any problems. The only time you wouldn't want to use your work computer was if you ended up referring other people at work and then all of you are on the same IP address. It could result in some of you not getting credit for offers. But if it is just you, there's no problem at all in going back and forth. Just be sure to complete a given offer on the same computer (don't sign up for stamps.com at work and then download it at home).

here's my question then .... I haven't done any offers on my parents computer, but I have done one, maybe 2 surveys on their computer. They are considering signing up (well my dad is ... )

since it's not through an offer, my survey shouldn't affect his eligibility right?

Thank you Tricia. (and everyone else who commented)
That helped a lot!

Is there some type of layout period? In other words, if I didn't use, for example, my mom's computer for 2 weeks, a month, etc, could she then sign up? Just trying to figure out a way everyone could still particpate.

It's pretty much a forever thing. But you can email me and I can see if we can do anything to fix yours since you didn't know.
