It’s easy to “assume” how this auditing process works, and how it “should” work in their back office. But you know what they say about assuming… 
And remember, we’re not talking about payments that are late by a month, or even a week. We’re talking about a payment that is late by literally hours.
It’s not even 11:00am where I am here, and I just think you’re being a bit harsh on Conrad. I really don’t think he’s out playing golf and just making up excuses. And I’m sure our payments will be coming through very soon.
I appreciate that Conrad has been responsive here in the forum, and is on MSN. I also appreciate how early in the month these payments come in. The only other MGS payment I’ve received this month so far is Rewards. And I guarantee I won’t recieve any other MGS payment before Star Partners. Star Partners really are very good about prompt/early payments.
