Caught the vaccine hit, plus "pretty cool requester" and this could be a rad end to a night.

What is "pretty cool requester"?

Took an hour and 20 minutes. Had to be full screen.

Off Mturk stuff. Requester referred to himself like that at one point, which I always thought was pretty hilarious. I don't remember the last time he opened things up to other people.

I can't for the life of me figure out why CCB thinks I qualify for these hits, but they show up on my HS often and I'm allowed to accept them. I haven't completed one, but for some reason I am allowed to do them. Is this true for anyone else?

The instructions say "You must speak both languages named in the HIT title in order to do this task." I don't speak Arabic so I haven't done them.

You better grind out about $30 more, unless you're going to let me smoke you today.

I am so frustrated. My Amazon Payments account won't let me transfer any money because of issues from years ago. Now I have to figure out how to turn Amazon Gift Card Credit into cash

I understand that. I absolutely don't do them. Many of his hits are qualed though, so it just bewilders me when they show up on my HS. It's probably just an oversight. No worries.

Have you contacted Amazon? What was their response?

Honestly It may not be worth it for you to use MTurk.
You will be earning around $6/hr.
Then have to lose 20-40% of that trying to trade your gift cards for cash?

I'm not sure that you can. @electrolyte would probably know more.

What's the theme this week???

 

[electrolyte]

I'm not sure that you can. @electrolyte would probably know more.

If you call Amazon Payments on the phone, you can sometimes work out the "issues from years ago" (depending on what they were) and get a new Payments account set up to link to your MTurk account.

But if that doesn't work out, there's no real way to convert Gift Cards to cash unless you can find a friend who is willing to let you buy them items from Amazon at a discount or something. Some people who are into Bitcoin use Purse.io, but you incur a loss doing that, too.

What's the best way to contact Amazon? They just totally suspended my mTurk account. The links they give to contact them are dead links.
