11/07 - Thoughtful Thursday!

"...we will discontinue the Amazon Payments disbursement option on January 15, 2020 in lieu of direct US bank account transfers for eligible MTurk Workers."

 

after working on mturk for 10 years, there is no way I can set up my life in such a way as to get paid at 7 day intervals. my brain doesn't work like that. I want money, I send it over immediately. for 10 years.

 

reading is hard ok? and i forgot that's it's nonsense to hope for logical nice things.

 

and I am wrong.

 

my earnings for all year across all sites, i'm stoked for the rest of this year and for next year!

 

First time in like 5 years mturk has contacted us through email and of course it isn't good

 

Well they said option. , but it's only optional for a month.

 

I've submitted a bug report to the requester.
Hopefully they can fix this for future versions of the HIT.

we don't actually have to get accounts at US Bank right? we can use our regular bank?

 

it says US bank, not US Bank. I was confused too.

 

I'm wishing I could even get my earnings once a month

 

to be fair, part of that is from a playtest I did where I got a $50+ Amazon gift card, so of course that counts. I've been really pushing things starting in August, but I was on Prolific since like. March I think.
