    I did it a few years back - seem to remember there was a recruitment drive based on tasks that were worth around 25cents a go. I made about $60 AGC but I didn't carry on as I didn't really have a good use for US vouchers, and frankly I could make the same kind of money elsewhere.

    I've just been approved and created an account. Done four tasks today, all easy and paying between $0.50 and $2.50 each, however I will have to see if they get approved. Not sure if it will work out to be worth it but its worth a go.

    Is the payment still only in Amazon US vouchers?

  • Payment is in US Amazon credit? No thanks. I'll stick with clickworker and crowdflower.

    I see there are threads on this already but they are all old and seem to be closed so I thought as I would start a new one. Does anyone do this? I started about six months ago and, though it was slow at first I am making quite a decent amount now, although it obviously varies from week to week. Unfortunately it only pays in Amazon.com vouchers as I am in the UK but it covers Christmas and birthdays and enables me to buy things I otherwise would not. I also buy steam vouchers and similar in hundred dollar batches and sell them to gaming friends. Not perfect but it's money :). Only problem is I don't really know what I should do when tax time comes round - I presume that the income is taxable. I've a friend who has offered to help at the time though.
  • I tried that a while ago, I've got $8.72 to cash out at some point, for about 4 hours work if I recall correctly...

    It gets a lot better. Most I've had in a day was nearly three hundred dollars. I probably average about 70 dollars a day atm but it's taken quite a while to get to that place.

    A lot lol. I don't have a job so I do this all day most days. I enjoy it though - it's not even totally about the money.
