This list will grow larger as issues and fruitful advice come to mind:
Do use your own real information when registering for an incentive site.
Most incentive sites will verify crucial information during the registration process, do spot verification checks periodically, and verify certain information before you get paid.
The registration information will be the information the site uses to pay you and it will be where they find the information for shipping any checks or prizes you earn.
If your information is found to be fake then this may be considered fraud and it may subject you to being not paid, suspended, banned, and/or blacklisted from sites. The sites have to protect reputation by protecting their sponsor's from fraud.
Don't register multiple accounts with incentive sites - double dipping.
Do read the Terms of Service ("TOS") of the site you are registering at.
Do read the fine print and the terms of service on ALL offers and surveys you are intent upon completing.
Do take the time to scan the incentive site's support forum to keep up on the latest news.
Don't continue at any site where the number of complaints seems to exceed the number of standard questions and compliments.
Don't spam the incentive site's forum with repetitive posts or advertisements for other sites.
Don't complete the very same offers at different sites or at different times.
Don't give out any personal financial information to any site that does not provide you with a secure page.
Do keep copies and/or hardcopy printouts of all emails and confirmation pages for offers that you have paid for.
Especially note any information regarding cancellation procedures and contact information should you wish to cancel at a later date.
Do register your phone number(s) (if so inclined) with the National Do Not Call Registry at: https://www.donotcall.gov/
Do not give out your password to anyone, ever.
Do not use the very same password at multiple sites.
Do not use a computer or internet access at any public place to access your incentive site account (library, internet cafe, coffee shop wifi, etc.)
Do not allow anyone to use your personal computer to access their incentive site account.
Do not use anyone else's personal computer to access your incentive site account.
Incentive sites track user accounts by multiple means - if they discover that there is more than one member logging in from one computer then they may ban both accounts without pay.
