    I am new to doing work with this requester.. here is the hit I am working on...

    https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2IUC1QP6AUC23OC7DASXAV0GS5C07J

    the only spots to fill in are the date, subtotal, sales tax, and total.. is this correct? I hit the spot to put in UPC numbers but it does not work.. if only these areas need to be filled in then this is a pretty decent hit

    You click on the box under the sample one, then type in the upc codes in each individual box, then you add the date if available, then you do the subtotal, tax, and then enter the total.

    They have 30 days to approve before Amazon does it automatically.

    If the receipt has more than one tax price, should we add them together for the tax amount or not include one?
    I added it together on the one I did earlier, but don't want it rejected for that reason.

    I got a couple of rejections because I stated that the receipts were blurry (they totally were and these were the hits where we had to list all the items on the receipt) with a note next to the rejected hit stating that it was NOT blurry. In my opinion, anyone paying less than 10 cent per hit has no business rejecting work. We're talking PENNIES people! If you want better work and the right to reject--offer reasonable pay. And I'm with petegq; "next time.." NOT!!!!

    Okay, now I would really like some help. I emailed through the mTurk website because two of mine got rejected with the reason "please enter the UPC". I have done over 50 of these and the only one I didn't enter the UPC on was because there were lines through it and they were unreadable so I marked the receipt as blurry. That doesn't seem fair to blame me because I COULDN'T enter the UPC.

    I got 2 rejections today for the hit that was supposed to be Extract store name from shopping receipt and it says Rejected total=2.64 on one and Rejected total=45.46 on the other. I don't understand the rejections!!!
    I am very sure I haven't messed up on any hit for extracting store name. I have a sent a message via Amazon Mechanical Turk, is there any other email address for this requester?

    I just did seven of these where you put in the items from a receipt. Five out of seven were rejected - and the reason listed in the feedback means nothing to me. One says 3-12 is listed on receipt, another says 1/2 is listed on receipt. What does that even mean? The instructions were very short, but I had being doing a similar task for another requester and figured I'd have no problem with these, but boy was I wrong. I usually only do one hit for a requester I've never worked for before, and then see whether or not I get rejected before I continue, but I messed up by not doing that this time. I think I'll just avoid this one in future.

    HI!

    Some items preceded by SC/MC on receipt with negative amount, are they represent as Coupon?

    I'd probably echo canesfan on this, I've done similar ones for another requester(that is behaving strangely right now)for quite a while.......but am wondering if I am going to get rejections. The instructions aren't clear enough on entering the items, vs coupon prices. The store discounts often come up as "coupons", although they aren't actual coupon items. And with no auto addition or other self correcting type fields, no idea if I am entering the info you want.

    Poking around as a master turker, just another type hit here to make me feel stupid.

    No, you shouldn't enter those but just the coupons that have codes that is what I have been doing. I only enter the coupon's that say coupons!

    I guess this thread is getting personal. Op, I think there are some people here, who have been helpful, why don't we start a donation thread.

    Blocked by Jon Brelig

    Respected Requester,
    I am a worker from mturk.com. I have 98.9% accuracy in mturk.com.

    I always try my best in each and every hit. Before few days, I come to know that Jon Brelig block me from working any further hits. Kindly let me know what I did wrong in your hits so that I can correct and improve myself. Very few of my hits were rejected under your's. I have been with you more than one year and I have completed more than one thousand approved hits of Jon Brelig.

    So, with this message I request you to please unblock me and give me a chance to prove myself.

    Please let me of your thoughts and concerns over this matter. Thanking you.

    I really can't say what you must have done wrong, I don't work for them; I'm a turker such as yourself. My request though, is can you create a guide thread on Jon Brelig's HiTs that you have done. They are different HiTs, so for each, a guide would be welcome.

    In regards to your question, I would ask you to search for the requesters direct contact email. You're nbound to get a reply from them through there, they hardly answer question on forums, except they are a member.

    I have a question about these hits. The summary hits ask for the number of items on the receipt, and if there is no item count, then are we supposed to count each item to come up with a total item count?

    Is there going to be a Approval or just blind Hits?

    I have completed around 12 of Jon Breligs Receipt Trancription Hits since 12th March but not a single one of them has been approved till now. I am just waiting to go "all in" only if a single HIT is approved but it seems ages since a single one the HIT was approved.

    On contrary to 411Richwood's receipt transcription they approve the HIT's in minutes which seems encouraging given that i can actually see the money growing in my account. Pls tell me the duration (max. it seems have crossed) when your HIT is approved.

    I am in a similar situation to truedat, though I haven't been waiting as long. I did 15 hits for this guy over 2 days (26th and 27th) and none of them have been approved. I'd like to know how long the normal wait time is for approval.
    Personally, I won't be doing any more of Brelig's requests until I get paid for the ones I've already done. There's another requester asking for the same thing, but he not only pays on time (within minutes of submission), he pays more.
