o_O 50x each hit.....
Yea, that was terrible. At some point a "Get Reward" button showed up, but I wasn't paying close enough attention to know when. Also, this:

You can participate in this task only up to 1 time(s) a day
Thank you for your participation!

Like I said in the post I quoted, you won't see the HITs for which you don't qualify, with premium quals, regardless of whether you have no answer(male, when they need female, etc) or the wrong answer. If they need females, for instance, if you haven't done the qual, you still don't match as female.

More simply if male is 1, female is 2, no answer is 0. The HIT would only be visible to the people with the value they need. Just because you hadn't done the qual(have a 0) doesn't mean you'd be able to see both 1's and 2's. You'd see neither.
I'll definitely need to do them all then. How long do they usually take to approve, btw?

Aha. With a short Google search I found that yes, Amazon does change prices. However, so do other online retailers. It's not just Amazon. And I already knew the trick of adding stuff to my cart and just waiting to see if prices drop or if I get an email with a "deal." I've done this with many retailers, not just Amazon. Leave stuff in your cart long enough and they either drop the price or send you a discount coupon.

I still price compare wherever I order. Amazon is sometimes way more expensive than other places. But just recently with the large bag of cat food I ordered, it was many dollars cheaper than I get it at Target or pet stores so...ordered thru Amazon.

They don't have to be approved, just updated to our account. It can take up to 24hrs, I guess. It takes the same time as any qualification to be updated to your account, once added. Not long but, no idea. That's internal AMT stuff.

Like most approved qualifications, they'll send you an email once it's added, right?

camelcamelcamel is a good site for Amazon price checking also!

No. It's just a profile update. You can search your qualifications page to see them and see if they've been updated.

I take great pride in avoiding brick and mortar stores except 7-eleven. Have gotten great discounts by adding to cart and waiting, like an Anime movie we wanted for 18 instead of the 50 dollars they wanted at first. I also always use Swag Bucks to get a little extra back. I only cash out on them maybe 3 times a year, but 75 dollars a year extra is fine to me.

So i watched a news story on this amazon personalized pricing stuff. It did indeed show prices could be different between when you are signed in and when you are incognito. But it also showed that being signed in didn't always make the prices higher. If you routinely only buy products when they are at their lowest prices, that tells amazon it needs to adjust the prices lower to try to hook you.

Yeah, excepting the mouthwash for my kid which could get pretty spendy depending on availability, I've noticed the stuff I buy regularly doesn't change much. If it did, I wouldn't buy it!

For stuff I don't buy regularly I'll see what it's selling for elsewhere and if it's comparable pricing on Amazon I just order it.

If you are a Prime member and/or routinely buy stuff online, I highly suggest you check out Paribus if you don't use it already. It monitors prices of things you've bought and gets money back for you, and also free months of Prime if your Amazon deliveries are late.

Are they listed by dates? There no search bar, nor any sort by button. I don't see any of the recent ones I just did in the pending qualifications tab, either.
