I have been on this site since July. I used to enjoyed it back then earned a little much but was unable to collect because I didn't have any account in America and there are no Amazon in Jamaica. About two weeks ago I received a survey from them. I stopped going there in August. I went in it today and was so surprised to see the changes. I had $12.55usd that I could transfer in Gift Card which I did. I have seen a memory card which I like which is $5.90usd and shipping is $4.50usd. So having this money to used finally I order it. In my country dollars it is about $850. I think that it would be more expenses here so I just go head to try it out. So my question is how many of you is on this money making sites? Do you actually order through the gift card package and received your order? Please I would like to know because I don't want to go back there and then it is a NO-NO. I would be so disappointed. Looking out for your responses. Kerry

I like mturk but the problem is that it converts to Amazon gift cards. For my country I can order the items in AMAZON international direct which is more limited than all the items in Amazon.com. I Have some money to order a book or something like that. I have stopped using it a while when I discovered that I only could ask for the items in international direct, I thought I could use the gift cards on another amazon sites from Amazon (in Europe).

Do you visit it lately. When I placed the order it says ship worldwide and then I saw Portmore the city which I lived. Maybe you should have a check as I said earlier there are some changes. Thanks for your imput. Welcome to MYLOT and I hope you enjoyed it here as I do.

I think you are talking about mturk. I have just converted 1$ to gift card just to check how it works. I can only order items from Amazon International because I live in Europe. I still have about 40$ to make the conversion. If you have an US bank account you can also transfer the money directly. I haven't done more work there since August. I made most of my money answering questions and having the best responses prizes. But you can also earn some money doing some other things: rating items from amazon, rating pictures, writing articles,...

I love Mturk I have actually used both options once I ordered a book, usually I just have the cash put in my bank account though. I'm so glad Mturk is available. It does take me awhile to get to 10.00 cashout though.

The qualification method is a hassle. I made $12.55 in one month. I enjoy being in there but not as much as I do in MYLOT. I am glad that you are enjoying yourself there as well. Keep it up.

My fiance has gotten paid out with mechanical turk but she did the paypal method. I would probably do the same, but I don't spend enough time there to make any money. I've really only done a couple things on there for a few pennies.

Hello banadux, the paypal route? Does she has a bank account in American? Why I am asking is because I have paypal but I don't see it active on it. You have to give an account in an American Bank. Thanks for your response.
