So when they alluded to "tenured workers" having faster withdraw options here is that referring to the 3 day transfer? So the fastest we will possibly be able to get our money is 5 days from reqs approving work (48 hour hold on approved HITs + 3 day transfer)

Yike, if true.

 

...I am? What kind of Turker wouldn't push their fellow worker out of a plane without a parachute for a meager 2 cent bonus?

The world shudders that I'm the one picking which old lady that self driving 18 wheeling is going to run over.

also drone strikes

 

Parachute's are for puss.... wussies.

I doubt it since, as far as I know, "new" workers have had the option to withdraw every 3 days from mechanical turk directly since they signed up.

 

The kind that hates money.

But I'm hoping we get to withdraw every 3 days and amazon isn't trying to limit it to weekly for everyone, eventually, including new workers.
