The right and the wrong way to handle the same situation.

From KSS:
"SHOPS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO DEADLINE!!!!" Here's a $2 bonus.

I don't care how dangerously close you are to anything. That deadline is yours, not mine. Put your money where your whine is.
Try this instead:

From Summit-
"I need these completed ASAP. I have bonus $$$ available and send me what it will take you to complete the shop(s) for me and I will do what I can. Thanks!"

I am not specifically referencing the Summit email which I also also received. Some emails claim that a shopper can name their bonus, but when one does, the reply one sometimes receives is a " Can't pay more than 10.00" reply. Or, "gotta feed my babies, so can't pay THAT much."

That's when you say, "Sorry, can't help you then. Maybe you'll find someone closer to the shop."

I've had CoRI turn me down for some high-dollar bonuses only to give them to me for the same price a week later when they were more desperate and they hadn't found anyone closer to the shops.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

I also think it is just the pool of bonus money they have, so they have 10 shops to get done and hundred dollars bonus money. They can't give the first person $50 bonus but if the first nine people all take just a five dollar bonus that last person could get $55.

Judging from the bonuses I've received, I don't think it works like that at most companies. Maybe at a few, or it's what schedulers would like you to believe. I've had a few schedulers say they have to get the client's permission for a particular amount but I take that with a grain of salt too.
