any one a member and if so have you been paid? one of my friend suggested this site. i was told that you can earn money for doing task that you can later cash out or convert to amazon for shopping. i checked it out and it seems like a good site, i couldn't find any thing on the web saying it was a scam. i know that amazon is a legit site and there associated with them so i would figure that it was legit. so if possible i would like to hear your opinions on this site any information about this site too. thank in advance for any information that you can provide. have a great day and keep on mylotting.

Yes it is a very good site, I have been paid several times-i usually opt to have them put the money into my Amazon gift card account. It is well worth the time and effort.

I have been with Mturk for several years. If I work three or four nights a week I can make $30-$40 a month. Not bad for a few minutes of my time. I've always been paid with no problem.

i have been working on mturk for a long time and they do pay for the work that you have done. I am based in India so i don't use what i earn for amazon shopping but i request them to send me a cheque instead which i deposite in the bank. And YES it does pay, go for it.

I've also been with MTurk for a long time, and I've never been scammed on it, and always received the payment on time. Since it doesn't pay in my country, I use the earnings to buy products from Amazon, and I'm happy with what I get (short of the huge shipping fees for overseas, but that's a different issue 
)
When I find tasks that I enjoy doing and I have time for them, I make about 10-15 dollars a day. You may get higher earnings, since there are many jobs for native English speakers that are paid better.
What I like most about this site is that there are many requesters with varied tasks; one time I got paid for counting puppies and kittens in pictures; another time, for listening to music and categorizing it, and so on.
