I have tried to do the 5¢ cards from the other person but they are alot harder ... foreign countries and such. I can't get to the 5¢ cards from the first provider because I don't maintain a high sore. It varies from 89 to 93% and I'm not sure why. Perhaps the speed is why it drops below 90%. You are on a timer and that probably factors into the score. I try to be accurate and not race in with skid marks. I am at $34.00 but it has taken over a month to get it there. I don't do the business cards unless there is no keying to do. Then I toy with it. My main job is phones and at $8-12 an hour, I always choose it over the other things because it is the highest hourly rate.

Honestly, don't over think them and just follow the directions. Don't worry about creating the most stunning content they've ever seen... just spell correctly, make sense and be grammatically correct and they'll accept them. I belong to another forum specifically about MTurk and there's people who make $100 a day or more, almost every day. It's definitely motivation to me!
Thanks for the info! I didn't realize there was someone else who paid .05 per card. It's amazing people can make $100 a day on MTurk. I had come across it before and was turned off by the low pay, now I am becoming addicted to it lol. It makes a nice addition to surveys and it's something I can do while the older kids are at school.

I am not sure how they figure out the score. My score is at 100 but I have only done about 30 of the .02. I am really slow though because I double check each line. It is taking me about 3 minutes to do each one (sometimes 2 minutes if they are easy to read). I am also going to do phones at night and on the weekends when my husband can watch the kids. But it is nice to have this online stuff to do during the day.

I'm really slow at the 2 cents cards. They take me 4-5 minutes to do. I also don't see a score. Mine is a line. Maybe I have not done enough of them. They have made my return rate 3%, because I return so many of them. I do them at times though. I'm a survey girl mainly, because you get a high dollar amount for less time. Don't get me wrong, some surveys are long for the few pennies they give you.

My return rate is 14.7%. There's very few requesters that limit based on return rate. Most of mine are from transcription jobs I can't understand or from requesters that put out horrible images.

Your score is at 100? Wonder what factors into it then. I don't check each and every line but I try to be accurate as well as do them in a short amount of time. Now I am wondering what I can do to boost my average up. Maybe it's not worth worrying about.

Well I did some more today and my score went to 92%. The 100% was probably just scoring me on the two I did for training or something LOL. I wonder if I am doing them right. There are several things that they just don't tell you what to do for them, or if they do tell you I missed it somehow. For "Company" do you put what the logo says if it does not say the company name on the card, or do you leave it blank? Also, for foreign addresses I just "add a line" until I get all of the address on there. For the title sometimes people have like 2 or sometimes even 3 lines of stuff under their name. I put all of it, but maybe we are only supposed to put the first line? I tend to be a perfectionist and I know I am over analyzing this for .02 a piece LOL. I will keep doing them when I don't have anything else to do because I enjoy doing them, but definitely won't waste too much time on it because the pay is so low. I read on another forum (the MTurk Forum) that if do 400 of them and have at least a 90% score then you can move up to .05, so I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.
