My direct deposit is showing up as pending in my bank account right now (I would guess as of midnight, although I just saw it a few minutes ago).
I just wanted to add also that regardless of whether or not MF does batch payrolls, the variance in the dates we receive DD payments is also dependent on our bank. My old bank posted DDs lightning-fast, and my current bank is consistently a day later than my old one. They hold my paper checks for a day too, so I guess they are just cautious LOL. The bank I used when I first started shopping was probably a couple days later than I have now. This is probably also why MF said the payments would be posted on 3/22 and would show up on/by 3/25 - for the people with slow banks.
To those who budgeted on the promised date range, I hope your payments show up very soon! It is frustrating to be depending on the payment and on the MSC keeping their word only to have it come late, especially when you kept your end of the deal when you did the shop on time, correctly, etc.
If your payment doesn't come today, you might be able to calculate when it will come based on how much of a delay there has been in the past between when it posts on their site and when you received it (i.e. maybe in January, it posted on the 10th, and you received it on the 12th...so if it posts on the 22nd this month, you might receive it on the 24th). Just a thought and something I have done in the past.
Happily shopping the Pacific Northwest. Shopping since 2013
