    So I was reading something about monthly checks. Is that only for International turkers? Basically, I wanna know, for a US based worker, can I pull out cash whenever I hit the $10 minimum. Even if that's say one a week, or several times a week or even once a day, if I wish.

    Thanks.

    As soon as you hit that $10 mark you can withdraw. Or a dollar if you want to put it into your gift card balance.

    Thanks for the confirmation. With what appears to be a lack of information on the mturk site, I wanted to make sure.

    Okay now I'm puzzled. On the mturk site it says that I have hit the $10 minimum. However that is not what it shows in my balance that is available to withdraw. Is there a holding period before you're allowed to withdraw your money?

    Yes, 10 days and then however long it takes to confirm your bank account if you're in the US. Of course there might be a way to confirm your bank account during the 10 day noob period but I didn't bother myself.

    Okay so that's what it is. Thanks. I've already confirmed my bank account so I just have to wait the 10 days. I wish I had found this forum months ago.

    just a heads up for my fellow noob. On that tenth day of work your limits are pulled and the money starts to become available. However, don't expect it to all be ready at once. Fourteen hours after, what i guess could be called my release period, I've only had about half of my earnings available to me. there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern to what is and isn't available. Some new hits and some old are available. Some companies have several paid hits available while other hits from that company isn't. It's kinda weird.

    It could be that either not all of them have been approved, or that they've been approved, and haven't processed yet. Click on the days that you have worked and look at the status of your HITs.

    Yeah, I'm not including the HITS that are still pending approval. It's the Approved- pending payment HITS that I'm talking about. It just seems weird to have Paid hits along side Approved- Pending Approval HITS from the same company sitting next to each other. But then again, Like I said, I'm a noob. I have no idea how any of this works yet.
