Is anyone working on Mturk? What do you do with the money you earn?

I have been in Mturk for about 15 days, you can earn quite fast, but, you can only redeem to a bank account in the USA or in India, I am not in any of those countries, so the only option I have is to redeem to Gift certificates from Amazon.com, so my big question is, what can you buy with those gift cards? I shall wait to earn, something like 400 U$S so it´s worth the purchase? What do you do? Any suggestion?

I'm from the US so I don't have this problem. I like Mturk a lot but I wouldn't bother with it if you can't cash out I guess. I haven't had much time to get on their though. I have been working with another site called ciao and I am earrning faster there. I spend 20 minutes there and earn 2.00 thats almost a full time job in the US. If you are interested check out my website under "reviews" As for mturk is there no way you can set up an online bank account in the US?

What is ciao exactly and how to you earn from there. I visited the link from your site but it says its a invalid link. Is it just for US residents or international too?

Amazon has a lot of products, I think you can make a search and find books that interest you. They have other products too but I don´t know if they ship them to your country..

I think you can buy anything Amazon sells with those gift cards that they give out for MTurk. I was on Mturk once - however, I'm also from the US so I don't have this problem. It's up to you whether you want to make that $400 and staying knowing that you probably will not see the cash - but will only see the material of whatever it is you decide to buy. Good luck!
