    OK guys I am new to this forum and it's my first post. I have been working on Mturk from a while now and after the Internal Revenue Notice , I have decided to withdraw my cash so that they don't get it from me. So guys, I want to take out 60 dollars from my account into a US Bank Account, now what process should I follow and where to go tell me in detail??
    Can I ask Mturk to send the cash via Western Union aswell?And in which banks does Amazon send cash to?
    My relatives live in Boston, so where should I give out the cash?

    P.S I am afraid Mturk would betray me and wouldn't deliver the cash completely or never send it at all, so please clarify this aswell that whether it could happen or not!

    Come one guys waiting for a reply!!

    Click on the link that says x-fer funds to a bank account.

    you will be asked to log-in

    Click on the radio button next to x-fer funds to a verified bank account, or Click on "add a bank account" button. You will need a check from your bank to help you fill out the stuff. Then you might be asked to put in your online banking log-in, and amazon will "check" to see if it's a legit account or not. It will probably ask you not to leave the page for a few minutes. Once an account has been added, you can transfer funds directly there. It can take a few days

    There is no option for transferring funds to a bank account on the page you told, it just says transfer to gift certificate, view your account balance and history. There are no signs of tranferring it to bank account maybe that is because when i signed up at mturk it asked me to provide a bank account and i skipped the page. So how can I add it now?

    ^That is because I have a pakistani address maybe, because I have seen another mturk account with all those things as you are saying.

    So now what should I do?Should I change address?Give the link where it changes address?But even if i am in Pakistan, can;t i transfer money to a US Bank Account?

    No they don't let you transfer money to a US bank account, unless you are physically in the US.

    You might want to change your address to the united states then, if you have one. But I do not know if you are allowed to change your address. It's probably not giving you the option because it assumes you don't have a US account. Sounds like a technicality you might have to contact mTurk about.

    edit: Do you live in the US or in Pakistan?

    I am a pakistani resident but i could have had easily transferred the cash. So I have no choice other than transferring them to gift certificate and buying something.

    http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Rade...1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1279365732&sr=1-1-fkmr1

    I am deciding to get the above mentioned product shipped to BOSTON so what steps should I follow , are the steps to be followed like these:

    1. Transfer $86 into gift certificate.
    2.Go to this product's page.
    3. Now what to do?Tell me in detail every step....and also tell where does it ask for address and what all?And I think this product is in a rebate?Now what is a rebate,....like is it now available for 70$?And if i want it shipped to Boston, will there be any tax applied or simply my 86$ gift card would be required and nothing else?Tell me each and every step in detail!

    The process is to buy it as you would any product on Amazon, but use the Gift card. All this information is Self Explanatory when Purchasing the item.

    Yes you do need to pay tax
    Yes you do need to Pay for shipping.
    You need to set up a US Amazon account with your Boston Address, purchase the item with your Gift card and have it shipped. You can use your Gift card to pay for tax and shipping along with the item price.

    We can not tell you what to put in Address line and two because we do not know your address. Please do not post it here, just fill it in in the lines where requested.

    Okay here's what you have to do, step by step
    Go to amazon.com
    find the item you want to purchase
    click the button that says add to cart
    this brings you to a new page
    on the side of this new page it says proceed to checkout
    click the button that says proceed to checkout
    This will bring you to the sign in page
    sign in using your usual mturk email and password
    Now you should be on the shipping page
    There are shipping options listed
    Choose the shipping option that says FREE Super Saver Shipping (5-9 business days)
    That means you won't have to pay for shipping
    At the top of the shipping page it should have an address
    if this address is not the one that you want the item sent to choose change
    After you have clicked the button that says change, it will bring to you to a new page
    Down at the bottom of the page it will say enter new address
    Type in the address where you want the item sent
    then press ship to this address
    This action will bring you to a new page
    On this page it will ask you how you want to pay for your purchase
    It will either have a gift card or promotional balance
    or an amazon payments balance
    Choose whichever one has the $86 dollars that you want to use for your purchase
    When you add a new shipping address, they ask you to enter in your credit card number
    so where it says Enter your card information is where you will enter in your credit card information (they won't charge your credit card for the purchase, they just want to verify your identity)
    After you have done this, press the button that says continue
    On this next page it will let you review all of your information to make sure it's accurate
    After you have reviewed all of the information, press the button that says place your order
    That's it you're done
    Also when I looked at the item that you linked to in one of your first posts there wasn't any tax applied to it

    By the way, how did you manage to earn $86 on Mturk, if you can't even figure out how to order something on Amazon? Just curious.

    ^Will it be exactly 86$ for the page link I gave?

    http://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-AT...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1279957640&sr=8-4

    What about this one, will it charge 8$ shipping? If yes, then what if i select free super saving shipment, will i only need 90$ then?

    P.S Have you ever ordered anything off your gift certificate?


    Another thing, the link i gave now...it is being sold by zipzoomfly and not amazon...so will there be any problem like a betreyal?

    No, for the first item that you posted it would be $85.74, that's it.

    For the second item:
    http://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-AT...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1279957640&sr=8-4
    You will be charged for shipping no matter what you do. Super Saver Shipping is only available when you order something directly from Amazon.
    Yes I order items from Amazon all the time and most of them have been paid with a gift card.
    I'm not sure what you mean by a betrayal. If you are asking whether the zipzoomfly people should be trusted, I don't know. I don't know whether there are any guarantees unless you are ordering directly from amazon.

    If I transfer money to gift card, will I be given a code which I will enter later on or it will automatically detect my gift certificate balance?

    Is buying from Amazon completely trustable...I mean will they ship it in 5-9 business days what ever?

    P.S Is it necessary to be a line 2 in address, I mean if there is nothing, I should write nothing, right?

    Well, good luck with finding answers to your questions. With an attitude like that, I'm sure not going to help.:rolleyes:

    Jamie, now that's not done. (Besides, I don't see any attitude there. Given the circumstances, don't you feel bikermicefrmars's impatience to be reasonable? Hope you're just kidding.) If you've the answer, be kind enough to share it. After all, that's (querying to clarify our doubts, & sharing our knowledge/experience & helping each other) what we all are here for. Well, okay, there may be a few exceptions. Hope you're not one of 'em.

    If there's no line 2 for your address, you should NOT write nothing in that line. Simply leave that line blank. :p

    JustFight- No, I am here to help, and I tried to. I spent 15 minutes typing out instructions for Bikermicefrmars, but I didn't even get a thank you. Now he still needs help, and instead of waiting patiently (because lets face it this forum is pretty dead) he says come on im still waiting. Now maybe I just took it the wrong way, but that doesn't seem like a very nice phrase. If someone were asking for your help in real life, and before you had a chance to tell them the answer, they yelled IM STILL WAITING, wouldn't you find that rude? And it's not like it's the first time he's said that.
    Now I'm sorry if I appeared rude to anyone.
    So Bikermicefrmars
    Yes, you're correct when you transfer money to a gift card it automatically shows up in your Amazon account, so there is no need to remember a long string of numbers and letters.
    I can't speak for anyone else on the trustworthiness of Amazon itself, but I trust them. I have always gotten my purchase within 10 days, and I am in the Boston area, too so I think the time you wait should be about the same.
    As for the second line, as Justfight said, just leave it blank, if you have nothing to put there.
