Do we know if they're going to take it away for using it on Woot.com? Amazon owns Woot
haven't seen anything specific. I don't consider Woot a third-party merchant as it's owned by Amazon, but it's not specifically mentioned in the upcoming change mail that it will continue to be a site taking Amazon Payments.

Well, here's my question. Why use Amazon Pay? It's limited to certain merchants. You can't use your Amazon gift cards. If you can't use the money you have in your Amazon Payments, which really is cash, why use it all? Much better to use Paypal, bank, or buy a pre-paid card if necessary. I guess if you have an Amazon credit card that might make a difference. I don't know what that's all about. If you get Amazon Prime benefits with merchants who accept Amazon Pay (and I don't know) that would make it attractive.
I think they're trying to build it up as a competitor to PayPal, but it's just not there yet. I read something the other day that they just started allowing peer to peer transfers in India. That's something that Amazon Payments used to allow years ago, but they removed it. I wonder if they're going to start doing that in the US with Amazon Pay instead.

I just see Amazon Pay. That is the one it made me sign up for when I wanted to transfer money from Mturk. I didn't even know that Amazon Payments existed :hilarious:
Weird. Maybe it's just because I have an older account or something? Like this is what I still see when I go to transfer money to my bank.

So my payment options are Amazon Payments account and Transfer to Amazon.com gift card balance. I can't tell you if it's always been those two options frankly because I always send to my bank via Amazon Payments (I'm assuming that's always been the same). I'd never consider 'gift cards' because the use is too restricted insofar as what you can purchase.

Exactly the same for me.

Actually, that's what I see too. I have to go through the amazon pay webpage to sign in so I thought it was different, but it's not. And I checked my email and see that I did get that email as part of the privacy notice a few days ago, I just hadn't opened it yet. Who knows what they're up to...

So my payment options are Amazon Payments account and Transfer to Amazon.com gift card balance. .
If you decide to transfer your turk earnings to Amazon Payments instead of Amazon gift card, your options seem to be keep it as a balance in Amazon Payments, transfer it to your bank account, or spend it on amazon.com (using the Amazon Payments payment method during checkout).

So we've established your name is Ryan Braun? :wink:

I've had a champaign shower but not a beer shower. The Isotopes celebrated a division title by bringing out champaign bottles from the locker room and squirted us fans standing in the seating area along the 3rd base line.
Yes, I drank a beer in the shower. I also like mainstream sports. And I also watch Game of Thrones. And listen to Pink Floyd, who are wildly popular.

That's looking like the story now. I've never used it to pay on a third party website since I've never been able to find a third party website I wanted to use it on.

I did this one and it wasn't as difficult as a lot of them I've done.

Have you verified? I have 3 total rejections on my account, two of them were promised to be removed and never were.

I have a "see it to believe it" attitude if a requester says they are going to reverse a rejection.
It was a university, so I was a bit more calm lol.


ETA: just checked- it was gone :)

I've seen comments in the forum that folks prefer to use Amazon Payments on third-party websites because access to their funds is quicker than waiting for a transfer to show up in their bank accounts. I have a Credit Union account and all my transfers go lickety-split into my account.

I'm same. We're OG turkers though.
