    I just roughly calculated this because I actually use my calculator for a lot of beermoney stuff... Right now I have 2330 HITs completed from mid-August to now. I rounded it up to 4 months and divided 2330 by 4, (582.5) then multiplied that by 11 (accounting for holidays and stuff).

    So it would possibly take me 9 years to get that many HITs lol. And that's with 0 rejections.

    I want nothing to do with it. I don't have a new ID and I just moved. So I have no way to verify my address other than mail.

    Well this will force me to get better at budgeting. Might break my habit of making $30 and spending $30 right away.

    I just liked to be able to withdraw when I needed it, on a schedule unless there was a superfantastic week for me so I took it out faster. So now I guess I have to do weekly as I don't want to be sitting there needing some money and not able to get to it for two weeks or whatever.

    Also, this screws up paying with Amazon purchases using payments. Guess they'll all hit my cc now.

    Do we have confirmation that we are going to lose the ability to transfer every day completely?

    We encourage you to set up direct transfer through the MTurk website starting December 15, 2019 as we will discontinue the Amazon Payments disbursement option on January 15, 2020 in lieu of direct US bank account transfers for eligible MTurk Workers.

    Who wants to be the person to email them and ask all the questions? I'm basically illiterate so I drop myself from the running.
