    Me and my bf both do MTurk for extra money. I have been doing it around 3 months and he has just started in the past week or so. We use two totally different computers and everything. My question is: He does not have a bank account to send his Amazon Payments to. Is it possible for him to use the same account as me or is that not allowed?

    I doubt that you'd be able to do that, however, a solution may be to get one of the prepaid "Green Dot" cards at your local Rite Aid/Walgreen's/CVS. There's a low monthly fee of $4.95, but that cards DO come with a routing number and checking acct. number for deposits. I've used these on paypal as a checking account, and it works just fine!

    I am going to suggest that you get a savings account with his name on it and have his money deposited into that and then you can earn interest on the money. You usually need a minimal amount to open a savings account I think a 100.00. I would tell him to get a checking account otherwise. If you use the same account it is looking suspicious to amazon and can possibly get your accounts suspended this way.

    He can open a checking account with Bank of America for only $25.00. I imagine most other banks are similar. Once he gets the account established he can then just transfer the funds to another account online.
