It's from amazon, and it's pretty simple just look through the pictures and find the business/address they're requesting. You get $.03 per. I go through them pretty fast, made $32 in since yesterday just doing it in time I would be just listening to music talking to people...
They can pay you through Amazon gift certicates or deposit in a bank account...
I'm going to do the Amazon GC, cause they offer detailing products(from AutoGeek it looks like).... 33oz of Klasse AIO for basically nothing. Just letting you guys know.

Neither one had the business located in the pics as far as I could tell though.  The pics weren't the clearest, so I couldn't even read some of the business names.

I looked at another one, and two pictures were almost the same, both clearly showing the sign for the business. I wouldn't know which one to pick.
And considering if you find 100 of them per hour, that's only $3.00/hr.

I usually just pick the best picture of the business if there are more than one. The thing I hate is the slow acceptance times on some... I have like 300ish in pending, or what I refer to as pergatory. But it's easy money for when you're just listening to music.

Then they say you are required to submit a valid bank account before you can work on any of the HITs.

They share your info, and your accepted/rejected ratio to the companies so they can get the best quality of work and/or demographic.
