Hello Everyone, this is Emma at Strategic Reflections.
I follow mystery shopping forums, so our team can understand everything our shopper's go through so that we can improve our business. We value each and every one of you.
I was informed of this post recently and wanted to ensure everyone has the correct information.
We have not changed our pay policy. We have had the same policy since we started in business. I do understand however, that our pay policy is a bit difficult to understand the way it has been written, so I am in the process of working with the IT department to get the wording changed.
We do not have an option for pay pal or direct deposit. The only form of payment we offer is paper check.
An example on how payment works:
Any shops completed in October, the checks are mailed between the 10th and the 15th of December.
October checks go through the final editing, processing and client approval throughout the month of November. At the end of the month the checks are printed.
The beginning of the following month (December) the October checks are then stuffed, sealed, and stamped. After that the checks are placed in the mail, this happens between the 10th-15th.
Printing what is below may help keep track of your payment:
October shops paid in December
November paid in January
December paid in February
January paid in March
February paid in April
March paid in May
April paid in June
May paid in July
June paid in August
July paid in September
August paid in October
September paid in November
Thank you and I hope this helps!
