Marketforce payment, 6/15/23
My payment is "pending." I expect no issues as well.
There is no consternation about the minimum payment being $50. It says in the user agreement that they are not obligated to pay you unless they owe you $50 or more. And I am not going to agree to that.
If they change the language in the ICA, to say that they will pay direct deposit no matter the balance, I will sign it. But the way it reads right now, it says that they are not obligated to pay you if they don't owe you more than $50.
And this may mean that there's more work for other people in my area or whatever. But I am not going to agree to let a company keep money that I have earned because it's inconvenient for them to pay me.

The $50 minimum was only for those who don't have direct deposit. It was for the e-card payments only.

That's what MF said in their clarification, but it's not what the contract says.
I am glad to see positive feedback on this topic, but I agree with Morledzip, the contract wording is sketchy.
In addition to their lack of announcements/words regarding the elimination of tolls and parking fees out of the blue. They could have used the real estate space on their site(s) to warn those who did shops in advance of them taking shops that they would no longer be paying for such activity. Instead we have to see the link is missing from where it has always been and hear about it on this site.
Also glad to see others getting their payments of less than $50, but as @Morledzep & @joanna81 state, my issue is with the wording of the contract right now.@joanna81 wrote:

The contract is what is binding. Period.
It is good that shoppers are getting paid for now. If, at some point, MF decides not to pay shoppers, those who have formally agreed to those terms will have no recourse.

The minimum payment is only if you are opting to get paid via gift card. If using direct deposit, you will get paid regardless of how much you made.
If you do just one Many Men shops every month at the minimum fee of $10 plus the $17.25 reimbursement, you will exceed $50 every other month even if the exact contract terms are enforced (which is currently not the case). You will have "waited" one extra month to be paid for the early shop. As Clara Peller said, "Where's the beef?"
So, I keep doing them. Thank you, everyone, who has decided to refuse to do any until they change the contract. I predict a long, long wait. Meanwhile, I am happy. More shops for me!

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
I already said that others may benefit by some of us not signing the contract. And that is fine by me.
I have direct deposit and also got paid for only one job at less than $50. I don't do as much of them as I used to but will continue to do one here and there. IF and WHEN the time comes, they don't pay me because of a minimum, I will just get to the minimum and no longer do those shops. But for now, I think it was just a poorly written contract.
I agree with @datagirl.
I will shop for them as long as the fees are what I feel are worth it. If I was to have payment withheld due to not meeting that minimum...I would make it to the minimum and then no longer do any shops for them. But I'm not about to stop taking burger shops for $25+ in shop fees.

Datagirl, my thoughts exactly.

When I asked MF about this, they told me that other shoppers in my area were willing to do the shops without being reimbursed for parking and tolls. Good for them, but I am not willing to lose (more) money eating parking and tolls on no-compensation shops. Then, of course, they came begging to me when the shops were not completed. I indicated I would do them only if the tolls and parking were reimbursed. They agreed to the parking (about $5), but not the tolls (which vary but are as high as $50 one way during congested times. They suggested I take back roads or a subway. Hard no on all of it.@klovie wrote:

"back roads or a subway" WOW! Now isn't that something. It is all about them. What if that is not an option, then what is one supposed to do walk or ride a bike? Glad you were able to get the parking you required/requested.
I got two of those for $30 today, so thanks for those who chose not to take them.@myst4au wrote:

But that being said, I always get $30 for these two locations.
