Circle K's are edited immediately and paid quickly. But debit shops on the exact same platform take longer. IPSOS pays weekly every Tuesday but predicting which shops you will get paid for is tricky. (Source). June 06, 2023
But there's a silver lining in everything, I rearranged my MSC activity with other companies with which I have long-standing relationships, and while I'll miss some of the Ipsos shops, I do make more money now with other MSCs. (Source). June 05, 2023
For weeks, when I attempt to pick up a shop from IPSOS (not Sassie), I pull an assignment up and see if I can make it fit into my drive schedule. (Source). June 05, 2023
