Since all you were so great and responded to my query regarding Strategic Reflections, here is one more:

Mercantile Systems

I do not see them on the official list of companies, so all opinions are welcome.

Thanks

I completed a single assignment for this MSC in 2006. The reimbursement was $8 and change short of the required purchases and it took me 101 days, with several E-letters, 2 or 3 phone calls and 3 falsehoods, to be paid. After I received my check, I requested and was given my immediate de-activation. On two occasions after that occurrence, my reconsideration was requested, but, my philosophy is once bitten I avoid the dog, and I refused.

I've done 2 reimbursement-only shops for them. I had no issues, and the reimbursement check was mailed on time. The report was lengthy, but I greatly enjoyed the food, and I had no issues with the MSC.

I've shopped for them several times, with no issues. I have noticed that they've lost some of their better restaurants and retailers. I haven't shopped for them in over a year.

I shop for them monthly and haven't had any issues. The checks come regularly (and correctly) and the schedulers are helpful and accommodating when I need to move or extend shop due dates.

Great company, I have worked for them monthly for years doing their bar audits at my favorite restaurant.
Pay on time (when they say), although reports are long, and usually reimbursement plus 10.00, I keep working
for them. I also have schedulers that call me, never had a problem with communication. They are one that don't
bombard you with out of state emails, and respect your radius.

Live consciously....
