   You can't do that, then you don't get "paid".  :-)   
      
   I know someone who does A LOT of online surveys (and makes quite a bit   
   of extra money / vouchers / ettc. from it) and they often end up doing   
   the same survey multiple times because they are referred by different   
   survey companies.
