Eh, I just ignore them. Their biggest client they always seem to have problems filling in my area. I'd do it every time they get to $15 shop fee if I could. Unfortunately they apparently have NOBODY else in my area and so I'm sitting around waiting on somebody else to shop them so I can do another.

I was just going to mention exactly what Traveliz said. Just turn off the email notifications. Why take the extra step in creating an Outlook folder to forward their emails to?

I didn't actually create a folder, I just set up my email to send all emails from brooke gosden @gfk directly to the junk mail folder. I still should get emails from the company that don't come from her. She is the one that is abusing the email notification feature.

My point was don't these people understand that when they flood your inbox, it causes people to turn off email notifications, send your stuff directly to junk, or just ignore you? Have they never heard the story about the little boy who called wolf?
I humbly admit that I have Failed the New Shopper Test. I've taken it the allowed three times. Am I screwed?
Yes you are.. I applied to them and got all the questions right after hours of sitting there re-reading and yet their system said I only scored 90%. After trying three times, my account says it is deactivated. There are tons of other companies out there.. I am way to intelligent and valuable to have to take a test multiple times and told that I can't shop with that company when I have completed similar tests and shops nearly perfectly. CRI was the same thing.. their shops pay too low as well, not worth the time

Does CORI have a limit on the number of attempts for their tests now?
Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

don't worry, you're really not missing much by being "deactivated"...
In the future, if you're so inclined, contact the scheduler before you've failed all allowed attempts. Send your answers to her/him, and they will provide assistance.

If by CRI you mean CORI their shops start out low but if you wait it out you can pick up some easy shops at a decent pay.

They seem pretty simple and straight forward but often there are other shoppers in my area who pick up the more convenient stops in the city so I am left with the ones that would take more time to get to. At that point if I am travelling more than 45 minutes per se, it's not really that worth it for $5 or even $10 if it's bonused.
I think their site is super glitchy on my end because I answered the questions correctly also (eventually I just watched the video while I was doing it to double check) and it kept saying it was wrong. Shopping is good for me right now but if things die down, I may e-mail them and mention the issues I am having with the test. The site in general is not that user friendly - it refreshes everytime you save a specific location.. in Toronto, it's a lot of locations for some of the clients they do shops with.

I am not the only one annoyed by 20 emails a day from GFK to fill those wing shops where they want a younger dude to go and have an unwanted beer? Please, one email ok. 10 in 5 minutes, ridiculous?
I am so glad I am not the only one that gets a ridiculous amount of emails from GFK minutes apart. Another one that just makes me mad to no end is a Coach shops scheduler...I get 5 in a row, sometimes within seconds of each other all for the same location.
There emails are overkill but I do like that they let me take my whole family with me. It's hard to find a lot of shops like that.

I would take a Coach shop... I saw them once in my area and haven't seen any since. I've been trying to figure out if I'm looking for them in the wrong place. I've been checking my list and shopper sites trying to figure out what company had them
