OMG! Congrats to @ItsAmyTee - totally missed that too!!!

Morning everyone! I have a question for anyone knowledgable with the bonus system. I've received over $300 in bonus rewards since I started turking, and they have always showed up in my dashboard within hours of receiving the email. Yesterday I got the following bonuses, and only the second one has paid out. Is this normal? The first email came in at 9:55am EST, and the second at 10:27am EST.

I had this same problem at the end of March and had two bonus emails close to each other and one paid out and the other did not show up on my dashboard. I messages Mturk and they swear I got it but I never saw it. It has to be an error on Mturk not the requester because the email is sent directly from Amazon itself.

That's what I was thinking, and why I asked here about the "bonus system" rather than messaging the requester. I figured that seeing as how all of the bonus emails come from the same mturk-noreply@amazon.com address, that it was out of the requesters hands at that point. If anyone else has some experience with this, I'd appreciate any advice Thanks @rjd66 it's nice knowing that at least someone else has dealt with it. It's not the end of the world, I try not to count on my bonus payments

Mornin' All!!

I nerded out for a second when I learned about the following lil short cut...

In windows with MTurk Suite "shift + F10" then "i" will input your ID into a selected field. (unless there's another right-click menu option starting with "i")

I have used Auto hotkey and similar in the past, but it's nice to have a no set up option, where my hands don't have to leave the keyboard.

I want every dime of my bonus payments. ALL OF THEM.

Also I have not had this problem since March so I hope it is not some kind of bug that will come back every so often.

Good morning friends.

Good Morning! How was your interview?

I recently found AutoTextExpander. And it's amazing. You set up the shortcuts and every time you press the keys it will input whatever you have it set to.

Good Morning! How was your interview?

It went really well.

There was a short pre interview- Went great

Drug test- No problems there

Background check- I haven't done anything terrible in my life but I do not have the cleanest record lol

So if I pass the background check I will get hired. So playing the waiting game for now.

I've never been a believer before now, and I don't know what tenets this religion has, but I'm ready to worship at the Church of Rihanna.

There used to be an issue with a bonus occasionally not showing up in the Today's Activity section of the dashboard, but for me at least, it would always show up in the Earnings to Date section so I was never too concerned. I do keep up with where my bonus EtD is at the start of each week though, so I can try and make sure that no fuckery is going on.

That looks like it would be very uncomfortable to sit in/on.

edit: The dress, not Rihanna

You used the word "sit" and "Rihanna", looks like I've got the rest of the morning occupied.

Thanks! I keep track of that as well, so I'll keep an eye on it throughout the week. I appreciate the tip!
