GENERAL HIT INFORMATION
(Bold marking indicates this entry has been changed since the last publication of this list.)
Please be sure to click the “Accept HIT” button before proceeding to make any HIT!

1) Please use Google Chrome when making our HIT's as this is the browser our HIT's were designed for. Chrome allows the features we provide to work properly. Please make sure your version of Chrome is the latest version.

2) Please open all links and receipt example links provided in the HIT to find important information and instructions required for making the HIT.

3) Always check that the receipt is full before starting to transcribe it and that everything on the receipt is legible, not just the parts you need to complete the HIT. A full receipt has the store name, date, total information, and in many cases items with legible descriptions, codes, amounts and prices. If the majority (90%) of the items are legible, then transcribe the item list on the receipt. If most of the receipt item list is not legible, then select the “not a full receipt” option. (90% of the items and their necessary data should be present, complete and legible in order to transcribe the HIT on those receipts that have item lists; this also includes the store name, date and total section)

4) We have 3-5 days to review HIT’s and due to the high volume of HIT’s we provide, it usually takes that long. The review priority schedule is subject to change which means HIT’s that were previously approved quickly, may be approved slower at any time. We have recently changed our review time from 5 days to 3 days for many of our HIT’s, however it is subject to be changed again, please look for the current review time listed on the HIT under the Submit button of the HIT.

5) We cannot return HIT’s to workers to correct or complete, we can only approve or reject HIT’s. Rejection of incorrectly made HIT's is required so the HIT can go forward to be processed correctly by another worker.

6) If there is more than one store receipt in a HIT, please make the HIT based on the first/top receipt only. If there are several photos of the same receipt, if one of the photos is clear, please use the clear photo to make the HIT.

7) If the information to make the HIT is on the receipt, but you cannot clearly and easily read it, the receipt should be marked as ‘blurry’. If the information required is not found in the photo series, then the receipt should be marked as ‘not full receipt’.

8) Gas, diesel, propane, fuel, prepay fuel, prepay pump and other similar fuel/gas related sales terms are all “Gas-Only” sale receipts. If there are no other items purchased and listed on the receipt, please use the “NO, it only includes gas items” option on those HIT’s that have this option available.

9) There is a comment box on most HIT’s, please use it to let the review team know why you chose an option when it is not clear why you have done so. The comment box can be used for any comments relating to that particular HIT only. The comment box link is located below the Submit button on most of our HIT’s.

10) Many receipts require several photos to show the entire receipt. You need to determine where the receipt items start and stop between photos. Do not duplicate items that cross between photos.

11) Debit card transaction records, credit card transaction records, post office, entertainment, restaurant, and many other receipts for goods and services, are now considered to be valid receipts. Please transcribe them as the HIT fields require.

12) Food stamp balance records, banking/ATM transaction records, parking tickets, etc., are not valid purchase receipts for goods or services and should be given the ‘No, not a full receipt’ option provided.

13) Receipts that are not original (photo copies, phone screen or computer monitor images, etc.), or have information that has been changed (dates, totals, prices, items have been tampered with) should be indicated with the “fake” or “doctored” option on the dropdown menu in that HIT when provided. Please leave a comment in the comment box which points out the tampered area.

14) Shoppers are allowed to cross off personal data such as credit/debit card information sections, names and addresses, items they do not want to be seen, and prescription numbers. You should complete the HIT item list as long as all of the required data is otherwise there: store name, transaction date, other items and their data and the total section information.

Data Entry
1) You can use ‘UPPER CASE’, ‘lower case’ or ‘First Letter Upper Case’ format to enter the field data at this time. MILK, milk and Milk are all acceptable letter cases.

2) Please make sure your field entry of the store name, total and date are exactly as they are on the receipt, we have no choice but to reject if they are not correct as these fields are used for determining other HIT's.

3) Please copy the item description exactly as it is given on the line, including size and weight.

4) Make sure to use the line indicator in the first column to show what is entered on the line: items with (Item), all coupons with (Coupon) and voided/returned/exchanged items with (Void). (Item is the default line indicator)

5) You do not currently need to list store loyalty card discounts, employee/senior/student discounts, Target REDCard discounts, fuel perks, bag refunds or bag credits; this may change in the future however and may not currently apply to all of our HIT’s (please be sure to read the instructions for each of our HIT’s and open all the links and receipt example links provided to find what is required to be entered from each individual store receipt).

6) Please check the auto-filled (pre-filled) fields for accuracy as the information that is already in the fields when you accept the HIT may not be correct.

7) You should enter the lines on the receipt as they are listed on the receipt, you cannot combine similar items to one line by using the quantity column. The HIT provides a line repeat/copy feature at the end of every line for entering similar lines fast and easy (click on the gray curved arrow at the end of the line to repeat/copy the line you have just typed).

8) If there is no quantity column given in the HIT and there is a multi-purchase line (more than one item is purchased and listed on the same line), enter the amount of the item purchased in the item description, for example: 5 green beans 10 oz

9) Please be sure to use the quantity column correctly when it is provided in the HIT, not using the quantity column when there is a multi-purchase line or using the quantity column incorrectly will result in rejection of the HIT.

Item, Coupon, Void, Exchange, Return Information
1) If the coupons or items do not have UPC codes, or the system does not want to accept the code, please use 0000's.

2) If the coupon or item code is too long, then you need to remove as many numbers from the beginning of the code as is necessary for the system to accept the code.

3) If the code is too short, please add 000’s to the front of the code.

4) Use the Void line marker for Void, Return and Exchange items listed on the receipt.

5) Voided items are listed one at a time. The item that was voided usually follows the word VOID on the same line or the very next line, there is usually a –minus sign in the price column for the voided item. This usually also applies to returned and exchanged items in most cases.

6) If you are given a warning message about the item count possibly not being correct when you try to submit the HIT (on full transcription HIT’s), if you are sure your item count is correct, then ignore the warning and submit the HIT.

7) ‘Container tend’ line entries are void items, even though the receipt does not list them with a -minus sign in the price column.

8) BOGO (Buy One Get One free) items are listed as items with a 0.00 entry to the price column.

Date and Time Selection Information
1) You must check every receipt for a date. If the date on the receipt is on the dropdown menu list, then you must select the date from the menu. We process new and old receipts, so you must look for the date on the list every time.

2) If there is no date on the receipt, then select the “No transaction date is on receipt” option from the dropdown menu.

3) If the date on the receipt is not on the dropdown menu list of dates, then select the “Date on receipt is not on above list” option from the dropdown menu.

4) If there are 2 different times given on the receipt (usually start of sale and end of sale), enter the time that is later.

5) If there is no AM or PM given, the store uses 24 hour time and times from 00:00 to 11:59 are AM. Times from 12:00 to 23:59 are PM.

Subtotal, Tax and Total Information
1) The total, tax and subtotal boxes do not allow –minus signs/negative numbers, please enter them as positive numbers (enter the figures without the –minus sign).

2) If there are 2 (or more) taxes, please add them together and enter the sum to the field.

3) If the receipt does not have a subtotal or tax listed, you can leave the field empty. If the receipt does have this information, you must enter it to the field.

4) The total we are looking for is the total cost of the items the shopper purchased, including coupon deductions and taxes. The total we want usually comes after the taxes are added in. Total can also be called balance, bal due, grand total and several other related terms. We do not want the cash back total, food stamp total, debit or credit card total, or total savings listed on the receipt.

Other HIT Information
1) On the “Identify if two receipts are the same” HIT's, some sales can be made so quickly even the time will be the same, you need to compare barcode numbers (if they are present, look in the middle of the code as that is where the difference will often be seen), also there is a transaction code on every receipt, they are called different things by each store chain, sometimes it is TR, TRN #, trans, etc. Look for the transaction code on the top line above the item list or at the bottom of the receipt, it is often a string of numbers on or near the date line.

2) We have specific tip lists available for several of our HIT’s, which you may request by email:
“Identify if two receipts are the same”
“Extract store, total and transaction date from 6 shopping receipts”

3) We only provide HIT’s/work through Amazon MTurk.

4) If your HIT is not in our system, we cannot review it. If your HIT was lost during submission or as a result of computer/internet/server/power or other failure, we cannot compensate you for the lost time and work, we are sorry, but we cannot review and approve/pay for any HIT we do not have in our system.

5) Our HIT’s allow you to try the HIT features before accepting a HIT so you can become familiar with them. However if you complete the HIT before you accepted the HIT and then try to submit the HIT, your work will be lost and we cannot pay you for it. You must always accept the HIT before making it.

Please note: This information is subject to change, please be sure to always read the HIT instructions before completing our HIT's.
