I'm from India. I've been working for mturk for a little more than a month and half. As, you know, there are so many cheat companies on the internet promising you money for work, I didn't really believe that I'd get anything from this work. But still, I just did it. And I didn't have an bank account and I didn't care for one, for I was too unsure if the check would ever arrive. But, to my surprise, they actually pay! I got the check 2 days ago - on 9th April. As far as I know you need a bank account to withdraw the money and I didn't have one. So, just today, I created an account. But the problem is - a check issued before the date of account activation cant be withdrawn, as far as the bank manager says. My question now is, is there any possible way I can withdraw the money later when I again make a withdrawal request to mturk? I mean , is it possible that the money would be added to the next check? And btw, my mtyrk balance hasn't yet been deducted. What does that mean? Thank you in advance for any help.
I don't understand why your account balance hasn't been deducted yet. It's strange. But in the case of cheque, you can't reverse that process by withdrawing the same money later. What I mean is, once withdrawn is withdrawn. But there is a simple way to get your money. Just contact the Mturk and tell them that you didn't receive the cheque. Then they will issue a new cheque. No hassles .. Cheers.
Maybe because I haven't yet withdrawn the money the balance is still there. Anyway, is it hassle free to do that.. I mean anybody then could tell mturk that they didn't receive the check and get another issued..
It usually get deducted at the moment when we request the cheque. Literally, yes. Anybody can do that. But what is the point in having many cheque when you can cash out only one? Older cheque will be void when they issue new one. I know people who really didn't receive their cheque and when reported to Mturk, they got new cheque. Mturk wouldn't ask you any questions about that. They simply issue new cheque. Anyways, nobody can prove that you received or not received the cheque until the bank credit it to your account since the cheque has been mailed in ordinary post. And it is quite natural to loose mails in India which has been sent in ordinary post. So nothing to worry.
