    It isn't FDIC secured to my knowledge but it is safer than mturk.

    That's what I was trying to get at. Ill just make it a habit of moving the money off at the end of each week into payments and then doing whatever with it. As it stands right now, I have a couple days of transfers before I can get it all off of Mturk.

    From what it looks like, Amazon Payments is a separate entity to mturk, so I would assume it wouldn't be shut down if your account was frozen. I guess never assume with Amazon...

    Unless your amazon.com account is banned your payments account will be fine.

    So yeah just don't scam people on amazon and the money will be safe.

    Mturk on the other hand steals the money if they close an account with money.

    It was for me, mturk and payments were both locked out. When I called, the first time I was suspended due to the identity thing, they said they would write me a check for the balance in my payments account (they never did). That was a few years ago though.

    Jeez. Yeah. I am something of a hoarder and have a this weird thing about depleting the money on Mturk into my bank account. Something satisfying about seeing the balance on here. I had at one time around 5k. I guess that was a really really bad idea. lol.
