Paltry information in Albatross/CXG postings?

I'm registered with them, but they don't really have shops in my area and I've never done one for them. But I got an email last night for a shop in a mall that I'm already planning to travel to tomorrow. This was a "respond to email with a date"... Continue Reading

Albatross CX

I have no recollection of having signed up with this MSC, but it is certainly possible. I do know I have never completed any work through those folks. Today, I received a solicitation from the company for a charity. IF it is authentic, it is my opinion that to use... Continue Reading

Albatross

Hey shoppers! When you do a shop for Albatross, how long does it take to get approved? It's been six days and I'm still waiting. I've been shopping for years but I always feel relief when I see my reimbursement and fee is approved and there aren't any issues or questions... Continue Reading

Albatross Global Solutions

I just signed up for this company that claims they do 'high end shops' - though the pay is not high end. Has anyone worked for them before? Their online platform is very weak.... Continue Reading

If you're not already signed up, you might want to. I've been signed up with them for about 100 years but never did any work for them. There was never anything in my area. Now there is, so maybe that is the case for some of you guys, too.... Continue Reading

Albatross Shopmetrics

A question for more experienced Shopmetrics users. Attempting to locate Albatross shops outside of my home geographic area results in a frustrating experience each time. As I move the map, the new shop opportunities do not populate. Searching the shop listings is sometimes not worth the time as there can be... Continue Reading

Albatross - No payment for years - any help?

I have not been paid for any of my nine shops that I've done for Albatross. These shops date back to 2015. I realized it was because I did not have a PayPal email address listed until just recently, when I realized the payment email box was empty. I have... Continue Reading

Albatross and Parking

So I accepted a last minute shop from Albatross because it was in the same area of another shop I had for Market Force. To my dismay this area charges $10 per hour for parking! Only if you have a store validate your ticket after a purchase does the ticket... Continue Reading

Albatross - Seem not to find availability

Hi, I have read the previous posts on Albatross and I am still not finding the answer. I finished the Albatross test, I am located in the US. I get e-mails referencing jobs that are close to me but once I go to the portal they are not... Continue Reading

Albatross tests...

They have many jobs I want to do but since I haven't worked for them in awhile, I now need to take a test for every job. There is no help to prepare that I can find. Who else has taken these tests and passed first time. Their system... Continue Reading

Albatross shops

I recently signed up for this company. It looks like they do a lot of upscale retail shops. I would like to do a shop for them, but I would like more information before I do. For instance, one of the shops said it's a purchase and keep. However it... Continue Reading

I went to college. I'm not dumb. But I have a really, really hard time logging into Albatross, which I just recently signed up for. I'm alone in my failures or have other people struggled with their website?... Continue Reading

Albatross did not pay

STILL MISSING PAYMENT - They do not even have a phone number where a shopper could call and ask for the status of payment. I questioned them via email about a missing payment, and they wrote back and asked why I did not submit a report. That was the end... Continue Reading

Albatross and Kailea Humphreys

Late Monday night I received an email from Kailea that they needed a shop completed the next day and there was a bonus. I had never done a shop for Albatross before. I answered the email and was surprised to get a reply right away that the shop was assigned.... Continue Reading

Payment from Albatross?

I completed a shop with Albatross a couple of weeks ago. This was my first one with them. I received a payment for the reimbursement portion of my shop. Under payment history, it still shows the shop as under review. Their payment schedule says they pay about... Continue Reading

Marianna from Albatross

Albatross - What does the job entail?

I recently signed up with Albatross. When I go to their website to look for jobs I only see vague titles describing jobs and the pay rate.... but no details about what the job entails. Also, I try to filter jobs out to be in my surrounding area... Continue Reading

Albatross-Survey Under Review

Has anyone worked for Albatross? I recently did one job for them and right now in my account it says "survey under review". I sent a message to them, but am wondering if anyone else has any experience with them and what that message might mean. With... Continue Reading

Oh Where, Oh Where are my Albatross Guidelines?

I have not worked for this MSC for awhile but now I have been assigned a high-end shop purchase and keep shop. I can not find the actual guidelines anywhere. I can see a blank survey form and a required certification test but no guidelines. I took... Continue Reading

Albatross question

Is there a way to see what is involved with their shops? I see one around me but it does not give me any information about what the shop entails. I clicked all of the links that I could.... Continue Reading

Albatross spam?

Just FYI, I applied and was accepted for Albatross Global Solutions and two days later, I am receiving nothing but constant spam in my e-mail. Phony e-mail addresses and all. It had to have come from Albatross because I haven't applied or given my e-mail address to anyone... Continue Reading

Albatross Brand Brief?

I've signed up for two shops with these guys and I have completed the required certifications, but I have not yet received the "Brand Brief." Their shop shop instructions state, "Your local coordinator, after approving your visit request, will send you the questionnaire, certification and briefing material." I received the certification,... Continue Reading

Albatross wants too much personal information !!

I saw some jobs come across my JobDinger today for Albatross. I have never worked with them. I started completing the registration process, and I was flabbergasted at the questions: "Company Name 'Required' " Uhhh, mystery shoppers are independent contractors, not companies. This company is on now my list of companies... Continue Reading

Has anyone done any of the luxury watch shops for this company. I'm a little concerned and before making a commitment to participate, I would like to hear from anyone that has worked with them. The scenario is to buy a watch priced near $13,000. Send them the... Continue Reading

What's up with Albatross Online??

Anyone here signed up with this company? I had never heard of them before but found a posting on the MSPA site for jobs. I went to sign up but I really dislike their sign-up form and eventually exited without completing it. They not only ask you... Continue Reading
