    They suspended my husband's account after only 9 days.. they didn't even send me an e-mail explaining why. He has done NOTHING wrong. This is such BS. I don't know what to do.. this is so upsetting. I'm having a baby in a month and a half and I have absolutely no idea what to do. Sorry I'm complaining.. I just really hate Amazon right now.

    The only issue I could think of would be multiple accounts on the same IP address. People have had issues with that in the past before. The circumstances don't help the situation at all.
    Have him contact him through that email address and ask why they suspended the account.

    EDIT: Do you know how long the suspension is? Or is it indefinite?

    Okay I will have him contact them. I almost didn't want to bother with it, but we really need the money. No one is going to hire an 8-month pregnant woman and I have a lot I still need to buy for the baby, so we need this.

    I assume the suspension is indefinite.. I haven't heard of them temporarily suspending an account, only reversing a suspension.

    I don't fully recommend this, but there was a thread the other day about two computers running the same account and doing HITs at once. I will find it for you, and you can decide if you want to risk doing this.

    I never have a problem doing enough hits or making enough money.. I made about $300-$400/week. It's just the fact that they have suspended our accounts for no reason whatsoever.

    I was thinking that you both could work on the same account, so you and him both still earn. I just don't know Amazon's view on this. Especially if you are on separate IP adresses at the same time.

    Hang on, I need to get this figured out. Were you both using separate accounts, and his got banned?

    My account got banned 2 weeks ago for no reason. I had 1 block on my account and they suspended me for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I tried contacting them and they never responded. Because we really needed the money, I had my husband set up an account.. obviously his SS#, his bank account, etc. and they suspended that for no reason within the 10 day trial period.. so we have two suspended accounts right now.

    You said that you were using your roommate's bank account for your mturk account. More than likely that is why your account was suspended. The name on the mturk account/bank account have to be the same. Why didn't you use your own bank account?

    This might sound odd/silly, but when you said roommate, were you referring to your husband?

    OK, that might make things complicated. All you can do is wait and see now. I hope it goes well!

    I don't have a bank account. I just haven't got around to it.. I haven't had a job in years because I have sciatica. My husband makes the money, so he really is the only one who needs a bank account.

    No.. I have an actual roommate.. lol. We pay the majority of bills and rent from his account (we give him the cash and he uses his account.. esp since our apartments won't let us split the rent between two accounts), so we figured we'd save a step by having it go directly into his account rather than my husband's.

    Well if your account was indeed suspended because the name on the mturk/bank account were not the same, then I seriously doubt they will lift the suspension. Bummer...that really sucks. Has your husband ever had a mturk account before? or his bank account linked to any mturk account?
