    I don't do batches often, but when I do it's usually ultra fire. I'm almost exclusively surveys.

    I know this wasn't always the case in the past, but my theory of 50k submitted seems to be consistent with the last couple of Masters handouts. Something I've noticed. Probably other stipulations too, but.

    (Congrats on Masters btw!)

    This confirms that I will never understand how people get masters. Maybe it's the earnings bit. No clue.

    I think Amazon just randomly chooses people to be Masters in order to keep everyone guessing.

    I have a new theory. It's based on times worked. I'm a student so I'm scanning and submitting surveys for almost 15 hours a day.

    Of course I'm not actually working for that long, but my connection to the amazon server is rock solid for those 15 hours, so to amazon it looks like I'm working nonstop.

    84,000 + and 100 rejections I am convinced there is a masters test batch that I haven't stumbled on yet

    That's why I think there may be other stipulations. I know a ton of people way over 50k still don't have it. You'll get it soon, probably the next wave! :ba:

    Yeah same. My theory was more closely related to how many rejections you could get before dipping below 99.9% approval.

    Anyway, I noticed a decent amount of people were getting masters once they hit over 40,000 lately so I've been crossing my fingers. But at this point I'm not very hopeful. I've got over 42k approved and 10 rejections.. 99.98% approval. I dunno. :p

    Not earnings. I concur on the 50k (that hit shortly before I got mine). My earnings though are pretty low because I'm a slow, mindless penny batch kind of girl. I do remember a batch vaguely before I got Master's though that I did thinking, huh, there's rumors of a Master's batch, wonder if this is it?
