MTurk Bonus & Getting Paid

CrowdSurf Work Transcription HITs
Mechanical Turk

MTurk Payments

There 2 types of MTurk payments, base and volume bonus payments.

  1. Base Payments- All regular base payments for work performed in Mechanical Turk are paid after they have been quality controlled. Once the HIT has passed the quality control step a payment is instantly credited to your individual Amazon MTurk account (Amazon account information). CrowdSurf base rates vary and are determined on both the length and priority of the HIT. Tip: When you log in to your MTurk account search for the ‘High Priority’ HITs with the higher payouts.
  2. Volume Bonus- Volume bonuses for Transcription Tasks are paid on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (excluding holidays) depending on the end date of the bonus (note that bonus extensions may result in payments delayed until the close of the bonus period):
  • Monday payments reflects earnings from Friday through Midnight Sunday PST
  • Wednesday payment reflects earnings from Monday through Midnight Tuesday PST
  • Friday payments reflects earnings from Wednesday through Thursday Midnight PST
