GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR COMPLETING OUR AMAZON MTURK HIT'S
GENERAL INFORMATION
1) Please use only Google Chrome when making our HIT's as this browser is what our HIT's were designed for. Chrome allows the features we provide to work properly. Please make sure your version of Chrome is the latest version.
2) If the coupons or items do not have UPC codes, please enter them with 0000's.
3) If the coupon code is difficult to enter, some are too long, then you need to take off as many numbers from the beginning of the code as is necessary to get it to accept the code. If the code still will not enter, use the 0000's option. If the code is too short, please add 000’s to the front of the code.
4) The total, tax and subtotal boxes do not allow -minus/negative numbers, please enter them as positive numbers (enter the figures without the –minus sign).
5) Please check the example receipt links we provide in our HIT instructions to find information required to make the HIT. This is critical for particular HIT's that have a quantity column as there is only one way to use that column correctly and using it incorrectly makes the item prices and item count grossly incorrect, which requires us to reject the HIT.

6) Please
list all purchased items with (Item), all coupons with (Coupon) and voided
items with (Void). You do not currently need to list the store loyalty card
discounts, employee discounts, Red Card discounts, in store discounts, bag
refunds; this may change in the future however and may currently not apply to
all of our HIT’s (please be sure to read the instructions for each of our HIT’s
and open all the links provided). Please list returns and exchanges
with Void as well.
7) Always check that the receipt is
full before starting to transcribe it and that everything on the receipt is
legible, not just the parts you need to work with. A full receipt has a store
name, date, total information, and items with legible descriptions, codes,
amounts and prices. If the vast majority of the items are legible, then
transcribe the receipt. If most of the receipt is not legible, then select the
'not a full receipt' option. (85-90% of
the items should be able to be transcribed)
8) Please make sure your entry of the store name, total and date are exactly as they are on the receipt, we have no choice but to reject if they are not as these fields are used for determining other HIT's.
9) If there are 2 (or more) taxes, please add them together and enter the sum to the field.

10) On
the Duplicate comparison HIT's, some sales can be made so quickly even the time
will be the same, you need to compare barcode numbers (if they are present,
look in the middle of the code as that is where the difference will be), also
there is a transaction code on most every receipt, they are called different
things by each store chain, sometimes it is TR, TRN #, trans, etc. Look
for these on the top line above where the items start to be listed or at the
bottom of the receipt.
11) We have 5 days to review HIT’s and
due to the high volume of HIT’s we provide, it usually takes that long. The review priority schedule is subject to
change which means HIT’s that were previously approved quickly, may be approved
slower at any time.
12) Rejection of incorrect HIT's is required so the HIT can go forward to be processed correctly.

13) Please check the auto-filled
(pre-filled) fields for accuracy as the information that is already in the
fields when you accept the HIT may not be correct.
14) If there is more than one store
receipt in a HIT, please make the receipt at the top only. If there are several
photos of the same receipt, if one of the photos is clear, please use that
photo to make the HIT.
15) If the information to make the HIT
is on the receipt but you cannot clearly and easily read it, the receipt should
be marked as blurry. If the information
is not in the photo series, then the receipt should be marked as not full
receipt.
16) This information is subject to change, please be sure to always read the HIT instructions before completing our HIT's.
