New Email Address

Is there an easy way to let all the companies know of my new email address? Also, please explain how changing one's email address effects one's PayPal account. Thank you

So after informing the mystery shopping company of my new email do I also have to inform them of my new PayPal address?
Are you closing down your old email address or is it no longer valid? While there is no easy way to update all the companies, for most you can go into your profile and make the changes easily enough. To make it a bit easier, just copy/paste the new address in each. If you haven't or don't want to create a new PayPal account, just link the new address to your existing account.

I don't recall whether having different email addresses for PayPal and for shop notifications is an issue with very many of the MSCs. My browser fills in the basic information for me when registering for a new company, address, email, etc. On one I failed to proofread and didn't realize one of my alternate email addresses ended up in the PayPal field. The MSC communicated with me through my mystery shopping email, but paid through the alternate email. I was able to easily link that email and get the money. It wasn't completely seamless. There was the initial freak out on my part. We though the MSC was going to have to wait 30 days for the payment to be returned then reissued. I finally realized nobody else had the alternate email address since it had been mine for over 15 yearswinking smiley Then it hit me to link it with PayPal and I had the money immediately, LOL.

My old email account is going to be shut down as of the end of the month. It was one I had at work and now that I am retired, it will no longer be valid. What a nightmare! Thanks for your help. I just want to be clear about PayPal. I have changed the primary email at PayPal to the new one but want to know if I change my email on the mystery shopping profiles, will that automatically change my PayPal info or do I have to do that separately in each mystery shopping company profile.
Without going into each myself, I just can't answer the question. You need to just start doing it now.
