Are there any reputable companies out there that will mail checks? I've had my credit messed with and cannot have a checking account, so I doubt I could have a paypal account. I'm also weary about filling out IC forms with companies I am unfamiliar with, like maritz research. any suggestions? I did a shop for ACE but am dissapointed to realize You need to sign up with a company called PayQuicker. I want to repair my credit not make it worse I don't think its a very safe place for my info.

How do you cash a check without an account. Nat'l Shopping Service mails checks, as do many others I can't think of right now.

BestMark and Informa Research Services are two that come to mind.

Mintel, Ath Power and Maritz send checks.

marketforce.com and secretshopper.com mail checks...

Market Force pays both by check and by direct deposit, your choice. Check takes about 10 days longer every month.

Ritter will send a check but it's an additional $4

Adding A Closer Look to the list.

Restaurant Cops mail checks. So does CRG.

Sinclair, qams and I think feedback plus also send checks.

Strategic Reflections also mails checks.

BARE mails checks, BestMark pays twice a month by check

Also TrendSource has either direct deposit or checks

TNS mails checks.

Paypal will give you a free debit card. Go to thier site and signup.If you rely on only MSCs that send checks you will not make money. If you do not have a checking acct how will you cash these checks anyway?

I can see your quandry if you aren't allowed to get bank accounts. It certainly could affect your ability to get a PayPal or PayQuicker account. I'm not 100% sure though. Both offer free debit cards, though.

To add to the list, I'm pretty sure that Amusement Advantage will pay by check also. I know they offer three options, the other two being PayQuicker and PayPal. I signed up with PayQuicker so I don't remember the first 100% but I don't think it was direct deposit. If you sign up with them, it offers you the option during the sign-up process.

Good luck!

Mystery Shoppers Inc. also mails checks. Which is kind of a bummer if you're ever thinking of mystery-shopping your own bank. Might as well wear a sandwich board.

There are a lot of places that cash checks for a fee, Thanks for all the answers . I signed up for paypal, but not sure how I would get the money out.

Unsolicited advice, but www.creditboards.com is a very good place for advice on repairing your credit.

With Paypal you can get a debit card and select a pin number and withdrawal money from the ATM. Keep in mind there is a ATM Fee plus paypal fee for taking money out. You can use the card just like any debit card. I have used paypal for ebay and now mystery shopping for years.

OT - to Dave - *interrupt this program for a commercial*

LOVE, love, love that forum! Great advice (and I was going to use it to point people toward the Signature verus "See ID" on credit cards, but decided not to join that discussion).

Only problem is, it's very difficult for a new person to join in on the General forum. BUT, on the Credit, Banking, Bankruptcy, Mortgage, etc.. all of those other forums, great advice, cannot say enough good things about them!

I can not post there since I have a satellite internet. I don't have a dedicated IP, so their forum board/program does not recognize me when I try and post. I've tried over and over and none of the board owners can figure it out either. I can log in, read, but just not post.

Okay.. back to your regularly scheduled program!

I will second that second for CreditBoards.com. Don't remember how I stumbled across them but they were the best thing for me and hubby! I got some issues cleared up on my report that didn't belong there. Don't even get me started on my husband's report...he had over 20 errors! I knew we had some errors but that was insane. With the help of CreditBoards, we got our credit polished up nicely with their help.

Qaci and Retail Eyes are two of them.

Are you, the poster still reading this. Open a paypal account and then sign up for their debit card. No prob. Do it. Save grief make monwy.

I don't think you can open a Paypal account, without "tying" it to some kind of account, and I actually think you need a credit card.

OP, if your credit is not good, have you tried a credit union? Did an inquiry shop at one recently, and they told me one of the checking accounts they have is a "second chance" account, for people with credit problems.

Might be worth a shot to ask...

You only need a checking account to open a PayPal. They will tie it to this one and then you can transfer a maximum of $500.00 per month without any fee direct from PayPal to your checking account. You can request paper checks to be mailed to you but they have a fee for each of these and you can also request to have the $500.00 monthly limit to be lifted but there are some requirements.
