Hi there! You should have received a confirmation email of the approval. Also, it would show in your online account as a pending payment. Typically, the approval process only takes a day or two.
I like Intouch Insight for quick and easy assignments and know I'll be paid the second Friday of every month, even earlier last month :-)
Also, I really like the restaurant shops from Goodwin Hospitality, and find them very easy to work with.
Of course, for upscale, luxury shops (fine dining and luxury boutique hotels) I enjoy the selection from Coyle Hospitality. It's unfortunate they do not have more availability in my area. (They are a little slower to pay, however.)
I love Goodwin as well! Really enjoy the restaurant assignments - reports are detailed but easy. I only wish they had more in my area.
