Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) provides a diverse platform for completing microtasks in exchange for pay. The experience on MTurk varies based on the tasks available and individual preferences. Some users appreciate the flexibility it offers in terms of working hours and task selection. However, others find that the pay for tasks might not always match the effort and time required, and there can be inconsistencies in task availability.

Overall, MTurk can be a decent platform to earn some extra money, but it might not serve as a primary source of income due to the unpredictable nature of task availability and the relatively low pay for certain tasks.

I was trying to use mTurk as a requester. My study was based on using mTurk for data collection. What I didn't realize is that even though my AWS account was linked to my mTurk requester account, the mTurk system didn't let me bill the task through AWS. I got a message saying that there was some "credit limit" that needed to be increased. Meanwhile, my credit card has a great limit. After several emails from a support ticket, I was told that there was a "backlog". Nobody ever called (I requested that on the ticket), or got back to me other than the canned email message. My data collection could not wait after patiently waiting for a week so I used another service instead. Not impressed. On the bright side, Clickworker was much cheaper. My data is almost done being collected. Thanks for nothing, AWS.

I started mturk in late 2016 and it has been a big part of my life since. I have made close to $60,000 total on it with about two thirds of that being before COVID. It has been anywhere from a way to stay afloat between jobs to a really good side gig.

The platform is like no other. With the right qualifications you can make hundreds a week. Unfortunately, Amazon is very hands off on it's support resulting in a major decline in quality.

Amazon did not do a good job of filtering scammers resulting in low quality work for requesters and a gradual decline between 2018 and 2022. The nail in the coffin was forcing requesters to only pay with AWS about a year ago resulting in a mass exodus of requesters to other platforms. Now a small fraction of work compared to what it used to be is there.

This is still good for a few dollars, and still above sites like swagbucks and inbox dollars, but I am lucky to make $150 a month now when it used to be $300-600 weekly. If you can get in, temper your expectations, the glory days of mturk are gone.

first time user of this company and as soon as it signed me in using me amazon id it said the account is suspended, ive never been a member AmazonMech Turk so this makes no sense

Hello, My personal experience. I joined mturk on april 2012. From 2012 to 2017, I earn more than 600$ per month working on mturk, where as from 2018 to till now, my monthly salary gone down and reach to 50$ per month.
Reason, amazon mechanical turk increased pricing from 20% to 40 percent. All clients disappointed and left amazon mechanical turk. I am very angry and sad working on amazon mechanical turk. They are ashamed of doing this. They behave rudely. Amazon mechanical turk has worst management. By increasing mturk pricing they loss, we loss and clients loss.

Worst Amazon service ever. Appalling customer care who are rude, incompetent and literally take months to reply. Suspended my account without warning. My account has been up and running for more than 10 years, after loading the account with $1000 dollars they accepted the payment then locked me out of my account. They never send any emails or details explaining what happened. I contacted them and a month later they reply asking that I verify my identity by sending a FAX!!! It’s 2023 and a multibillion company like Amazon is asking to use a technology that do not exist anymore. I had to pay a lot of money to get that sorted and so far and more than a month later Amazon have never responded and my account is still suspended. This is an utter scam by such a wealthy company. Shameful!!!

I am unable to send out my survey. I keep getting an error message. I have contacted customer service about this, but I have never heard back from them.

Ho provato ad entrare nel servizio, ma dopo aver ricevuto l'invito e mandato i miei dati per il controllo, dopo 25 giorni non ho ancora ricevuto notizia, rimane sempre la scritta che mi invieranno una mail quando i miei dati verranno confermati, ma beh... 1 mese quasi non so è normale, ho contattato anche l'assistenza e hanno detto che risolveranno la cosa... ancora sto aspettando, ho provato anche da un altro profilo, stessa situazione, dunque beati voi che avete iniziato a farlo... io vorrei tanto ma non mi ci fanno iniziare.

Largely useless for new starters - read on. This is one of those sites that comes up in 'How To Make a Fortune Working Online' type searches. Firstly, it is a real, 'legit' thing and it's owned by Amazon. It parcels out small pieces of online work in units called 'Hits'.
I found a few of these that looked interesting, it looked from the 'preview' that I could have done them and they paid alright for a bit of pocket money if you could do enough of them.
Problem was I was not 'qualified' to do them. Qualification largely means having done hundreds or thousands of previous hits.
So you end up in a chicken/egg situation where you can't do any jobs because you are not 'qualified' and you can't qualify because you can't do any jobs.
This means you're reduced to doing things which have an 'unqualified' entry which usually means - surprise- endless tedious and intrusive online surveys.
The only other piece of work I found was accessible to me was trying to find email addresses for people online. It was largely impossible it took me half an hour to find one and the allotted time was 5 minutes. I also got the impression that the end user was just after collecting email addresses to spam people.
Interestingly, there are a lot of posts here from business users of the site saying the survey information they got back was useless, because clearly a lot of people are stuffing them with any old rubbish just to get qualified for better work.
Oh and also they don't pay you apparently except in Amazon Gift Tokens. For the USA. Unless apparently if you live in India, so no prizes for guessing who this work is really for.

Personally, this site helps me a lot.
I have earned a maximum of 8000 per month. But this income is based on how much time you spend on this site. Even I also got a Hyperwallet from Amazon m Turk. Which makes an easy direct money transfer to my Indian bank account.
I have tried many platforms to earn money online but there is not a single website on the internet which can compete or near to m Turk.
Amazon M Turk keeps it up.

Unless you live somewhere where a few cents are worth something, don't even bother joining this program. When I realized what it was about, I never opened mturk again, and pretty much forgot about it. That's until I got an email saying they'd suspend my mturk account as I lied on my location, supposedly on cross check with my amazon purchases since I never logged in again (I did not lie, geniuses, I'm travelling for summer - have you ever heard of people doing that, or is it against your "rules"?). Since I never did any "task" there, I don't care - but I find it offensive, PLUS it's super scammy if someone had spent any time on it gathering a few dollars.
This thing isn't worth anyone's time. I'm surprised Amazon owns it.

Mala interfaz, malas explicaciones y 2 dias despues del registro me dicen que no puedo participar. Una basura

Used Amazon MTurk as a requestor to find respondents for an online survey. I did a small test, looking for 30 survey completes. All of the Workers that took the survey were bots or scammers. I wasn't able to utilize any survey completes. I do not recommend for Academic or Market Research.

For the second time, I've got the following response from them:
"Your application has been reviewed and at this stage, we're sorry but it has been declined. We in Customer Service have no insight into the registration criteria and do not have any details about the review process. While we appreciate your interest in our service, at this time, the decision is final and can't be appealed.
In the interest of your time, any further emails to Customer Support on this subject will not be responded to as we are unable to make any change to this decision and have no insight to the registration criteria. We will resolve this case for your convenience"

"Customer Service have no insight into the registration criteria and do not have any details about the review process"
This is what they say when they don't have a clue.
As I said to them, they don't even care to tell me what the issue is, I can't solve an issue that I totally ignore, right?
And the screening is just about my name, email, race, or what? Because they don't have much information about me, nor I will provide for such a low-level job.
Amazon was nice when used to sell books, but then they got ridiculous and even decided to avoid paying taxes, which is a federal offense.
Disgusting company, to say the least.

To my great regret I have to report a shameful fact from Amazon Mturk.

They suspended my account in a totally unjustified way, so, suddenly, while I was working.

Now I have sent an email to the support to understand why, but reading around I have seen that they block randomly without reason and do not unlock more, thus ruining the lives of those who earn some money with Mturk in this moment of epoch.

Please unlock my account, I have not committed any infraction.
