Hi, I'm an honest and reliable requester based in the UK. I've been using MTurk to offer well-paying transcription HITs for about 6 months but the changes next month that will require me to use Amazon Payments will bar me from the site because I don't have a US Credit Card, even though I can use my company's US-based EIN. Does anyone have a workaround that might enable me to continue using MTurk, or will I just have to look elsewhere in future? thanks.
Wouldn't it be really simple to get some cheapo prepaid refillable US credit card? That said, Amazon should really get their shit together, you shouldn't have to do that.
stuhughes, You might be able to get help and a response directly from someone at Amazon Mturk or Amazon Payments if you post in Amazon's forum for Mechanical Turk. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=11
