No I have not heard of this. Sometimes I miss these offers. A lot of times I clicked on these and tried them but I never got my credit.

I doubt very seriously this was an offer on Fusion Cash. Amazonturk does not advertise on penny clicking sites.

anyone try this got reminded by  a facebook post. I guess its like tasks . maybe another way to make money.

I checked in to it extensively.  It is confusing and hard to get a straight answer out of Amazon.

First they say you only have to turn in your earning on taxes if you make over $20,000.  I ask about that and told them it is $600 but they just double talk and I can't get an answer as to why it says $20,000.

You have to provide your social security number before you can work for them at all.  Yes, it is tasks.  Kind of like the surveys on here the person or company behind the task can reject your work and you do not get paid.

Any person or company behind a task can request your social security number and Amazon will send it to them. They can send you a 10-99 after any amount of earnings if they wish.  So you could get a hundred 10-99s at the end of the year.

Some reviews say the tasks are also like the ones on here and the surveys.  It says it will take 5 minutes and you end up spending 30 minutes or more on the task and you might get paid 3 pennies.  You also do not get paid immediately.  It could be a month or longer before you receive your earnings which again could be just a few pennies.

Some people claim to make quite a bit of money on this but after all the research I done I decided it wasn't worth it to complete the sign up.

And you have to be approved by Amazon.  It isn't like these sites where you just sign up and you are a member.

I've been working Amazon Mechanical Turk for years.  Have done fairly well, could do much better if I worked it more.  I have never received a 1099 from any requester on Mturk.  Most requesters will answer you if you have a problem with their review of your work.  There is a site that most of us that work Mturk will check where workers leave reviews of requesters.  I will admit, some, not a lot, but some requesters are not very appreciative or don't communicate with workers but you can find out that information easily and avoid those requesters.   Most requesters pay within a few days  You NEVER have to wait more than 30 days, Amazon Mturk will automatically pay you if the requester hasn't pain in 30 days.  That's the policy.   Most, or many of the requesters are from university studies.   Others are from different earnings sites, like Receipt Hog and others like that were you have to transcribe the receipts.   I understand your opinion but I respectfully disagree, Mturk is a great site to work.  And yes, you do have to apply first but I've never known anyone to get turned down and I know many folks that work the site.   Just wanted to give my opinion in case anyone is considering signing up.  Sign up, try it and if you don't like it don't work it.

It's not as simple as sign up and if you don't like it then don't work it. I was accepted. But I am not going to give them my Social Security Number. That was my only issue.  If I get close to $600 or $20,000 lol according to them then sure I will provide it. But I doubt anyone makes $20,000 a year on Amazon Turk. Heck if I could make that much I would just do that for a full time job.

I went back and forth with them several times and could not get a straight answer on several questions. Maybe later I can ask you those questions and you can give me an answer. Because all I got from customer service was double talk and not a straight answer. So eventually I just gave up and decided it was best to forget about it.

This is the first time I've heard of this. Once my leg heals up, and I can spend more time in front of the computer, I may look into it.

Yep! I get paid through them all the time. I can even withdraw the money into my Amazon account and use it towards purchases. It's pretty cool and the pay outs are some times really good. I go for the 1.00 ones or .50 ones and they add up. :D

It was on a episode of Dark Net by Showtime. A woman said she made a living off it so I assume it works well, but she also said she consumed all her time with it.

Google Amazon Mechanical Turk.  Look up Mturk worker, not requester.   Follow the instructions to apply.   Just remember this is summertime and the majority of tasks on Mturk come from universities so it's slow through the summer but there are tasks to be completed.  At first it will seem like you're only given low paying tasks but most of those can be done quickly.  It's best to build up your approved tasks.  Once they build up you'll be able to get higher paying tasks.  You can always sort through the "hits" by filtering and put "hits that pay .50 and see what you get.   Also, some advice, you do need to pay attention and answer honestly, thoughtfully.   Hits can be rejected if they believe you didn't do something correctly and  having too many rejections will bring your score down.  Best advice, be patient, eventually you will be happy with your work and pay.   I tend to work Mturk like a outside job.  I try to work on it 5-6 hours a day without interruption.   If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.
  One more thing, once you get going it's a good idea to add "Turkopticon"  it's an addon for mturk where works can leave reviews about requestors.  Once you add it you can check the requester's scores before accepting the hit.  Helps a lot.  Good luck!

May have to look that episode up.  Would to see it.  I do fairly well but it depends on the time of year.   I know some folks who make enough to pay their rent each month.  Folks decide on their own how much they want to make.  A woman I know makes 20-30 dollars a day during the school year, summertime it's more like 10-15 dollars a day. Just depends on what you want to get out of it.   As i told someone else, so many studies are done by universities that it slows down in summer but it picks up big time end of August - September through May.

Hello! :D :)

I tried it, it seems legit but I will not know for sure until I get paid. It's like other extra money sites that you have to make work for you. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:
