“Loveee”

This is great for me as a small side income. Pay a bill here and there it's obviously not a full-time job but if you're a stay at home mom it is a great way for extra money. It's very small pay it first but as you keep going some jobs will pop up you qualify for with higher pay. I have done my first transfer and everything went smooth. No problems yet. Hopefully it continues to go smooth

“Total lack of support!”

I changed phones and phone numbers, thought I had updated all my apps to use the new number. Turns out I forgot about Mturk. When I try to log in it tries to send a verification txt to the old number. I explained to customer service that it offers no other way to verify me. Not even through email. After going back and forth with customer service through email, and getting responses from them that look like copy/paste answers...I told them to shut the account down. It was a waste of time if they won't give support for there service. Id rather use the QMEE app. They pay better.

I've been a turker since 2016 and have made money to add to my Amazon gift card balance or to transfer to my bank. It doesn't pay much but the work isn't difficult. You do have to pay attention as you may not receive payment if you don't follow directions carefully. Happy Turking!

I am proud of being an amazon turker. The tasks are Quite simple and interesting. HITS include identifying objects in a photo or video, performing data de-duplication, transcribing audio recordings, or researching data details etc. I've been working on Mturk since 2010. Any one with knowledge in english can work on it. Now I am a trusted worker with 98.4% accuracy and worked on more than ******* Hits. I recommend this to all those who wish to earn some money by doing transcriptions, surveys, playing interactive games (as part of survey).

I tried to contact the company through their toll free number and customer service support was excellent. They asked me a few clarifications regarding my account details twice which I answered after which they permitted me to work from the next day.

Excellent trouble-free site for those wishing to work online

The payment is sometimes good and the work type is varied and interesting. I find some of the tasks very well paying while some do not pay as much.

Tip for consumers:
Please be careful that you don't false information about your account. Also work on tasks that you are comfortable with. Most tasks offer preview mode which is useful before accepting it.

Although the tasks range from a mere $0.50 to $2.00, the amount can build up, and is definitely worth it if you want to save on Amazon.com purchases or simply transfer to your bank account.

This site has all kinds of mini tasks to earn money; data entry, transcribing, surveys, paragraph/article writing, editing, etc. IT IS NOT A SCAM, IT IS RUN BY AMAZON. You have the option to get paid to your amazon gift card balance, or to amazon payments where you can then transfer to a bank account. I REPEAT IT IS RUN BY AMAZON IT IS NOT A SCAM. Some just can't use this site depending on their location. I've been using for about 4 years and have made almost 400 dollars so far.

For starters, you only need to accumulate 1 dollar in your account to cash out and you should always quickly receive your payout as a direct deposit in your bank account. Mturk offers many tasks, or HITs that you can qualify for and complete relatively quickly. Many of the tasks pay well and almost all of the requesters for the tasks are honest and will pay you for your task completion.

However, the fraud rate seems to be creeping up; whereas the rate for not getting conned out of getting paid for completing surveys was close to 100 %, the rate has gone down to about 90 % for me. Although it's unfortunate for this to ever happen, I find Mturk to probably be the best money-paying site for survey takers and task participants dollar for dollar. Finally, you'll generally receive a secret code to put into the completion code box in the original Mechanical Turk tab/window you began taking a survey HIT from upon completing a survey; my advice to you is this: once you see your special code, step away from your device for a few seconds so you don't somehow get in such a hurry that you click the "Next" button or close out this tab/window before you can copy and paste your code into the completion code field in the other tab/window and thus get paid for your hard work.

I randomly stumbled across mTurk.com (Amazon Mechanical Turk) while surfing the net. I read reviews about this site, and how people can make money by completing HITs, or human intelligence tasks. It's a reliable site, and it is owned by Amazon.com themselves. People upload simple tasks others can do, for example, you can complete mini surveys, or write articles, and transcribe audio (listening an audio and writing it out into words). HITs vary from $. 01-$20 & up. I've been doing HITs averaging from 4-5 bucks, and made around $130 in two weeks, which is not bad at all. This site is pretty much secure... you have the option of transfering your money into Amazon credits, or into your bank account through the Amazon website.
