Question about IPSOS scheduling shops
April 08, 2024
There are times when I will see two shops for IPSOS in the same area. One for a burger, another for a cell phone shop. I'll get the burger shop, but when I go to get the cell phone shop, everyday of the week is open, except the day for... Continue Reading
Ipsos Banned Me from Restaurant Shop
April 07, 2024

Ipsos: here's how to get to the "printer-friendly" form in Sassie
April 05, 2024
Ipsos may have removed the clickable link to the "printer-friendly" version of the shop form, but that doesn't mean it's not still there! If the URL of the regular shop form is this (for example - this isn't a valid job ID): www.us-sassie.ipsosmysteryshopping.com/shoppers/ShopperShopReview.php?JobID=1234567 then the URL for the "printer friendly" version of the...

March 18, 2024
This is copy/ paste from a rejection email I just received. I had already received an approval email and (thankfully) was paid this morning for this shop. But it scares the crap out of me going forward. This was a gas station audit on Presto where I claimed the pin,... Continue Reading
Bad day for Ipsos docs
March 16, 2024
I'm usually among the first to carp about bad attention to detail on the part of MSCs. Yesterday was a doozy. There's a new version of the drive-in hamburger shops requiring the use of their app. I'm a regular customer and use the app exclusively for the 1/2-price drinks (diet... Continue Reading
IPSOS moving Star shops to Presto
March 14, 2024
The email I received today stated that these shops are moving to Presto, and REQUIRE strict adherence to the day selected (no changes), and the gas station owner WILL BE AWARE that you are coming on this day! Kinda takes the "mystery" out of mystery shopping, doesn't it? ... Continue Reading

Ipsos editors screwed out of money
February 16, 2024
Without giving any names away, I understand that two editors have been screwed out of money by Alyson Whitten because of a “corrupt shopper”; whatever that means.

Ipsos and gas station convenience store reimbursement

Ipsos clearly dominates this market. One of their clients' formats allows for a $10.00 reimbursement (total) but all of the others set the requirement at either $1.00 or $2.00 (yellow stations) for the convenience store purchase.

December 12, 2022
I’m starting to really veer away from Ipsos. They have one of the rudest schedulers I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. I mean it’s clear this scheduler really has no respect for anyone, couldn’t care less if you’re sick etc. But in general talks down to you and... Continue Reading
