    Some requesters do have earnings quals to stop you earning over $600, Real Estate Research for example.

    I'm not sure if the $600 tax limit applies to non-US workers or what.

    well as far as this particular batch, i've been emailing with 'mister turk' who said a qual batch for medical url would be up sometime soon. it doesn't seem like any one particular thing. for example, matt rubin upped the approval minimum to 10K because of scammers. it's just annoying and disheartening that no matter how much you do and how good your work is you still have to jump through hoops and get lucky in terms of being around at the right time to have access to some good hits...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one facing this. :p

    But for Medcrowds, they haven't take my qual back yet.

    I haven't had a problem with medcrowd and I have >50,000 hits approved with a 99.9 % rating. Have you emailed them?

    Are people losing their qualification with them or something?

    They're definitely adjusting the scores, mine was at 95 the other week and now it's at 90. Luckily 90 is what you need though :)

    Just gonna have to double double check answers and stuff.

    Generally most academic surveys should NOT be done again. I would personally avoid it unless the requester specifically says you can.

    You could also email the requester to see if it's okay.

    Just a tip for doing Medcrowd. It's in the instructions that you have to check 20 search results. So keeping the # of results per page to 20 in Google settings might make it a bit easier :rockon:

    Yeah, this makes them much faster if you know this. I can usually crank them out every 20 seconds or so. I've found 99% of the time if the site isn't in the first 5-6 results, you aren't going to find it period, so if I don't find it there I just skim the next page pretty quick.
