Hi friends
I recently registered with mturk by amazon.com and did some hits there, but one of my friend said it is a scam and they dont pay. Any mylotters using this site and earned and cashed with this site. Please respond it will help me and others immensely.

mTurk is definitely legit. Payment mode comes in 2 ways. They can pay you via PayPal/Bank transfer IF you are a resident of US or India. Otherwise, your earnings would be converted into "Amazon Gift Credits" which you can use to purchase items in Amazon shops :)

@Varsri: Sorry for that! I was thinking about CloudCrowd. mTurk DOES NOT pay in paypal. For more info about their payment, you can refer to this site:

For sure legitimate site! I've earned nearly five hundred dollars in slightly over a year of doing tasks there -have cashed out all but about fifteen - because I am trying to build up to fifty dollars for something I want. As I live in the U.S. I could have the earnings transferred to my bank account, but I like getting the money as credit on Amazon.com. After all, we need to buy stuff with the money anyway, right? I've used it for dvds, cat food, clothes - gifts for others - stuff around the house. I bought most of my Christmas gifts last year with the money earned there.

Just curious - which worker is it? I wrote articles for two - John Gady and another one called White Code or code white. I haven't seen John around lately. It's a shame because he never rejected my articles and paid decently. Right now there are a few one dollar rewrites posted by someone - I'm doing one right now. How in the world did you make over 5000 in less than a year? Do you turk exclusively? I love taking those psychological tests, too. Some pay quite well.

I haven't ever gotten paid from this site, but from what I hear it's legit. It's also part of Amazon, which is a legit company/website. Good luck to you with it! Let us know how it goes. I just signed up today and definitely am interested in figuring out what it's all about...I'll letcha know if I find anything out (or get a pay out)

Hi, I once been active member of Mturk but I lost interest when I found out I cannot request from Alertpay or Paypal. The best that you can use your money there is through Amazon Gift Card, in US they can cashout thru check.

Welcome to mylot Kram, as far as I know mturk is legit site and you get paid from doing task and I think they are paying for gift cert that you can use buying stuff from amazon. Lot of members here on mylot had joined that site, so I know for sure it's a legit site. Goodluck

How could you say this! Mturk is a Amazon site.. Do you think Amazon is a cheap brand??
