    Which one do you guys usually choose? I typically go for the bank account so I can watch the numbers grow :) But then again, with the gift card, the minimum payout is $1. I created a seperate account just for mturk lol :p

    I`m from Brazil, so the only choice to me is the gift card.
    I hope Amazon give us more payment options in future. Or I will have to buy their products and try to re-sell here!

    I get it put into my bank account. I figure I can use it toward Amazon if I want to, but it is not just for Amazon. That is a good idea to create a new account to have the money put in, it's a good way to watch the numbers rise!

    I usually have the option to do both, if it is close to someone birthday or a holiday i.e. Christmas, I usually put the money into the amazon account and look for deals for Christmas or birthday presents. Any other time... I use the money in my account for myself!

    I do both - I recently had to get a gift and was able to purchase something with free super saver shipping.

    I'm not in the US, so I have to go for the gift card, but since I was already buying from amazon all the time, it's good for me :D

    I usually go for gift card because I also got gift cards from other places. It made sense to add them to the account.

    I've not cashed out yet, but when I do I will choose gift card. This is fun money and I can always find something to buy on Amazon.

    Amazon Payments uses encrypted communication with a valid Verisign certificate chain, so your browser shouldn't have any complaints about it. Could you copy and paste the exact message you get?

    I usually just move it into my bank account and it mixes with other money that is in our account. I am in the US, and don't buy on amazon frequently...mostly for xmas when I do. So it doesn't really matter if its in my bank account, I can just as well use the money in my account as easy as a giftcard.

    Sending my first $200 to my bank account

    I have $200 accumulated and I'm in the process of having it transferred to my checking account. I just started the process today and it may take a week or so, because they do a test deposit at my bank first to verify that everything is working correctly. One I see their test deposit in my account, it's good to go.

    Check your bank tomorrow. Amazon Payments wastes no time, even when they do the verification deposits, so as long as your bank doesn't hold things up on their end then you could see your account credited sometime overnight or in the morning.
