Merc has always paid me with real money. No gift cards for this girl
I did a certain restaurant for them and got paid in gift cards. (I accumulated over $300 worth) The reason I did not mind, is that I would collect them and use them on special occasions. It was neat to see the "pile" accumulate. Because all of my other companies that were paying cash, I was good with it.
Here was how it worked: If you did lunch, you got $25 card, (no matter how small your bill was) For dinner, you got $40 gift card (no matter how low your dinner bill was) so in essence, you were paid more than a regular reimbursement only type of shop.
Now, I can't find that certain restaurant on the boards but would LOVE to accumulate some more cards!
