Hi There!

When it shows say $25 is what is paid, is that just to cover the amount of the meal? or is there any profit that you actually make

If there isn't a reimbursement amount listed, that should should just be a flat payment. In my experience, there isn't a lot of profit to be made from those types of shops, you are more so just getting the experience or meal free of charge.

Most of the shops you do where you need to purchase something will be more for the experience than the pay. I saw one last night that was for some designer clothing subscription for two months. As an average guy, I thought I might try it out and go Freddy Mercury for a couple months but the payout was confusing so I emailed the scheduler to inquire. Turns out it's only a reimbursement for the subscription and they only carry women's clothing... I'm not ready to get into that lifestyle so I declined. I had another one that was an oil change and was reimbursed for the oil part but the pay was only $15 which was ok because I needed it anyway, and finally a car wash that reimbursed the cost of the wash and paid out something like $3.00.

Generally speaking, most shops for meals cover reimbursement only, or sometimes a small fee such as $5-$10. It really depends on the MSC and the type of shop. If you are unsure, you can always contact the MSC. there is usually an easy- to find e-mail address.

My payment was sent to my ex husband's account and now I can't get my money. We were sharing a email address years ago when he unknowingly signed up for a PayPal account that's never been used. My payment was even in HIS name and not mine. They said it was sent to the email that I had on file when I signed up.

I even told them (Jacyn) that I did not have a PayPal account. I need my money!

I have a transaction number but the money is just sitting in a bogus account that isn't even mine.

Brenda,


If that Email address still exists and you have access to it, you can update the password and withdraw your funds to a legitimate account. If not, you need to update your information on here ASAP, but once a payment has been submitted, there's not anything the sender can do.

Hello,

What is the payment cycle?


Hello,

I don't know the pay schedule. It seems like forever to get paid. Forty-five days is longer than the military pay schedule.

Hey Bruce, the ISS site lets the different places make up their own schedules unlike most of the other places. Personally, I've stopped taking nearly as many shops off ISS because of this and have moved on to a few others that have a standard cycle for their payments as it seems more reliable first of all, and second the different jobs end up paying out more. This last week I spent doing seven different vehicle test rides at or close to $100/each and know exactly when I'll be paid. The schedulers from this site, I'm only taking either new ones or the ones I know will pay out in a very reasonable period of time and enjoy working with.
