    Hello,

    Between July 29 and August 8, your Amazon Payments account was impacted by an intermittent engineering issue which affected your ability to transfer funds from your Amazon Payments balance to your bank account. We have now resolved the issue and implemented a fix that will prevent this from happening again in the future, and you should now be able to transfer funds to your bank account.

    We appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve this issue, and have added a $10 promotional certificate* to your Amazon.com account for any inconvenience caused.

    Sincerely,

    The Amazon Payments Team

    So, correct me if I'm wrong, but what I'm hearing is that if you don't get distracted by funny gifs here in 2 months you'll get your PhD and quit Turking?

    Just making sure I understand correctly. Don't look at my post history to see how I feel about people leaving...

    Nope. Basically, I want to write two papers to have a "Thesis by Articles". My first one is almost done, but I supervisors have still not corrected the discussion, despite me sending it to them 2weeks ago... Then, I already have the results (all the experiments at least) to quickly write the second paper. Once the first one is accepted (I need one accepted, one submitted), I "just" have to write the intro + discussion for the thesis (the articles count for the rest), give it to a bunch of professors, they have 6weeks to go through it and then I defend.

    I'm not too worried about defending tho, because my supervisors said that the Doctoral Exam (exam after 1-2years of doing the PhD that determines if you get to stay a PhD student) is the worst part and that defending is basically a formality at that point.

    I doubt I will quit. The extra amazon money is great (I have plans for like $10k stuff I want to buy like monitors, chairs, etc) and this forum is way more fun than it should be.

    Also, I could be swayed to stay here if there was a little something something under my avatar. Just saying.

    Quick question for everyone - how long do you wait to contact a Requester when your hit is still pending? I checked the Help forums but maybe missed this thread so sorry if it's been talked about to death. I have one sitting from August 3rd.....

    Oh, there you are. I tried tagging you when it initially got fixed a few days ago. I was able to withdraw again starting on the 8th. This was the first communication I had from them about it though

    They auto accept after 30days, so I wouldn't contact a requester at all for this kind of matter.
