It's like they were rewarded the more they panicked or lacked patience (or both) and the only reason I got 8 transfers was because I was so tired in the morning I just assumed I had done something wrong the other 3 times before I realized it was probably a systematic glitch and not me. The other 4 times were just randomly trying periodically to see if it was fixed. And of course I'm usually more responsible and do my transfers in the evening so I get them the next morning so again I was rewarded for bad behavior.

Yeah I am sure whatever it is it's a drop in the bucket for a company worth almost 2 trillion dollars. Still it's proof they could pay us more if they wanted to (like we needed proof) and perhaps even give out perfomance bonuses to keep us all working harder which in turn would bring in more requesters. Kind of like how it's being proven in places that have $12-$15 minimum wage that business are thriving because people have money to spend now. Same with places that either have rent control or for whatever reason rent hasn't gone up like it has in other places. Businesses in those cities are doing well.
The way it sounded to me was that you get to keep the money and they are going to zero out the negative balances in people's payment accounts. At least I hope that's what is going to happen. I can wait it out another week to see. I'm hoping that if they go that route that they zero out the balances before Thursday so I can transfer money in and get it by Friday because otherwise it'll be at least Tuesday since Monday is a damn holiday.
we're still waiting on the final email to say whether its a gift or if we have to pay back the negative balances. The email wording is pretty vague with regards to "fix the incorrect AP balance".
on a different note, today is horrible. Nothing available to catch. Great day for cleaning the house & getting errands done.
Yeah but if we have to pay it back then those balances are already correct and if they want those balances to be at zero or above I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't have the money in their earnings to get it above zero. Is there any other way to fund amazon payments besides from our mturk earnings account?
