You still get paid if you don't beat the system. I beat it from time to time with phrasing. Beating it just gives you a bonus. The thing says you can earn double but I usually just get 10 or 20 cents when I do.

10 times per attempt, I probably get a fooled system 1 out of every 10. [edit 10 different attempts, not the 10 tries on 1 attempt)

The neither true or not true ones on a two line sentences are the toughest.

Usually I will fool it with phrasing. Like say it says do a correct statement about a saxophone player, I will refer to the saxophone as a woodwind or something like that and it tricks the system.

So I TRIED to report it to Amazon and they pretty much blew me off:

Thanks for contacting us and I'm sorry the HIT was rejected. The first course of action in cases such as this is to contact the Requester directly. You can do this using the steps below.

1. Go to the HITs tab on the Worker website and search for HITs containing the Requesters name.
2. Click the "Preview" link to the right of the HIT in question.
3. Once in the preview screen, click the "HIT Details" link in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4. In the pop up window, click the "Contact this Requester" link.
5. Fill in the following form.

For this particular Requester, FamilyWbuyer, we've received a few other reports of this and since this appears to be a mistake on the part of the Requester we have also reached out to them and asked that they rectify the situation.

After you contact the Requester you'll want to wait for a response from them advising what may need to be done.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us at any time.

Best regards,

Chad

oh great. Fitbit says I've walked 500 miles in eight months. yippee.
I only get about 50 miles in that time frame, but I usually only walk to the refrigerator and back to my desk. Congrats on that, great mileage!

Yea Amazon can't force anyone to undo a rejection.
Only thing they do is send a form letter to them just like they did to you.
