    Re: Pastry visit. I read it as you had to ask for the one item, to see if it triggers the correct response from them. I've been adding other items (not in meal deal) to my purchase, and looking at last month's payment, the full (stated) reimbursement was given. Hth :)

    The IBAN number will probably be on your bank statement.

    I was paid for 2 bakery visits last wave and maxed the reimb both times.

    The reply I got today in reference to MF bakery:

    Good afternoon,
    Many thanks for your email. If the staff member upsells to you then this will be included in your re-imbursement. Anything over £4.50 will be at your cost though. If the staff member does not upsell, then you will be reimbursed for the item only
    Kind regards,

    It's just that the profile only has a single gap for the bank details, not a space for sort code and a space for account number.

    You need to ask your bank for your IBAN number as GAP are an overseas company.


    No, you don't need to ask for an IBAN number.

    Type in your details like this: 400515-12345678

    i.e. first six numbers are your sortcode, followed by a hypen, then your account number

    Completed my visit today, as described previously. Ordered a savoury,, waited for opportunity to upsell, then added my choice of items up to reimbursement . Has passed through payment pending and now showing as fee+full reimbursement payment due.
    Seems to be mixed messages from the MS company.

    Isuspect this is a visit which we're all best off not bombarding them with questions about. Otherwise it will really be just the not worth it initial item.

    I've done a few jobs for ISC. Their reports are easy to fill out. Tick boxes and sometimes little narrative. They pay on time, about 4/5 weeks after the assignment. I've never had a problem with them. I think they're based overseas (USA) as my emails get answered at funny times. Friendly and helpful staff. They don't have many assignments though, I wish they had more. I can't remember how they pay. It's either BACS or paypal.

    They always pay via paypal within 3 weeks. Once they e-mailed me afterwards to clarify some minor details and they stated that if I didn't reply the same day my shop would be rejected. So be sure to check your e-mail/spam boxes afterwards if you want to get paid quickly.
