I see this a lot. Personally, I don't think kids should be taught that doing chores = getting paid. Doing chores is a basic requirement - learning to take care of what is yours and doing what needs to be done without receiving validation.

As a parent, you're going to buy them things anyway. When you die, you're going to be giving them your wealth.

Reward them for going over the top. Reward them for providing value not otherwise expected within the household.
makes paying my kids for chores SUPER convenient. "A thousand SATs to whoever does the dishes." "Take the trash out and I'll zap you 500."
