Doing survey sites, GPT, Swagbucks, Perk from abroad?

[Deleted User]

Question for the experienced and the well travelled ones on this subforum.

Due to the favourable exchange rates I am considering spending 2-3 months in the continent at the end of summer or in low season. I haven't decided yet but it could be either Germany or Italy.

I know that I wouldn't have any problem with task sites (Crowdflower, Clixsense, etc) and I am also pretty confident I would be banned if I used the Swagbucks/Perks apps abroad.

What about survey sites? Would they check my IP address? Would they let me do the surveys? If I use Swagbucks/Perks special offers from the desktop, would I have problems?

Has anybody ever tried, maybe when they were on holiday?

Any info will be appreciated.

I think some websites trace the IP but I'm afraid I don't know the answer to all questions

I've been banned from My Survey for exactly this. Got a Thank you very much message though .
Also how sure you are about Crowdflower/Clixsense tasks?
I know you can't access Gifthulk from abroad too.

Swagbucks is international so I'm not sure about them - why not ask?

Can you give more details about My Survey? Did you login from abroad and they deactivated your account? Could you at least redeem your points?

Italy and Germany don't appear to be in the list of supported countries. If I ask them, they could flag my account.

My Survey did that to me when I used to different PCs, one at home and one outside home. When they close your account, you can't redeem anything.

The survey I was completing just stopped and I got Thank You message, that was it. I never have any more survey from them, kept my account live for another year and closed it eventually. I decided to close my account myself , no point to keep it opened.
I lost my points too, about £0.40 or something as couldn't cash them out.

I think you can do daily poll and NOSO every day on Swagbucks but not videos, surveys or offers from abroad as they are geographically targeted.
Probably depends which country you are visiting too.
Neobux allows you click on adverts, not sure about tasks. You must not use more than 3 different computers in 10 days rule.

Anyone know if Swags apps work in the US on wifi?
