MSC Application: Do I tell them who I shop for?

February 06, 2013 05:23PM
I am in the process of filling out many, many MSC applications. Several of them ask who I else I shop for. Why? I thought most of the ICAs basically tell you it's a secret. Is this a trick question? I have been putting n/a or Confidential, but the app I am filling in now says list the other MSCs or put NONE. None is a lie; the other MSCs are none of their business....right?


**I am sorry if this has been asked. I searched for an hour and could not find an answer.

scmiami - I write something like this:

"I have been shopping since ________________ and am signed up with over ________ companies. In 2012 I did __________ shops (or last month I did ___________shops.) I cannot reveal the names of the companies due to independent contractor agreements."

So far I've been accepted everywhere, so this must usually be an OK approach.

Thank you for the reply MDavis! I have used a version of the same. On one app yesterday, I was MADE to enter some companies. I entered 2 that have no shops in my area since I was afraid of getting rejected.

Also...Why are LisaSTL's posts showing up as SPAM? They are usually good (long time lurker smiling smiley )

I'm the one that is typing in spam following some actual posts. The original posts I was marking were most likely deleted and I need to go back and edit mine. Thanks!
