Bestmark shop limit?

I just signed up with this MSC. I quickly self assigned 3 easy shops, but when I went back to look for another the list was gone. It is telling me there are no more shops in my area (within 100 miles) when there were just a page full of them. Did I miss something? Is there a shop limit with them?

I am not registered with Bestmark, but two things might have happened:

1. You reached your limit on the "XYZ" shop.

2. Other shoppers were fast, and grabbing as fast as you did and all the shops were gone, by the time you went back

Bestmark does only let you assign three or four shops at a time. I had to watch that with my exit interviews. I think they let you assign more after you do more shops.

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

Most MSC's limit how many shops you can do at first--either officially or unofficially. I've done several route shops for BestMark, 8-10 shops in one day, but only after I completed my first couple shops with them. Just an FYI-their reports are REALLY long, but the shops I do for them do not take that much time.

Agreed on their reports being really long. I rarely shop for them just because the amount of time consumed. I spent 2.5 hours filling out the report for a 20 dollar car dealership.

I did the dealerships with them when I first started shopping, wow the narratives after narrative after narrative lol! I can't do a dealership shop anymore they are too time consuming for the amount of pay.

Bestmark has the same reports as EPMS. I was told by Bette at Bestmark that the same research company designed report forms for both companies.

My thought is, if I won't do a $35 apartment shop for EPMS because of the report length, why would I do $17 car shops for Bestmark with the same report form.

I love their oil change shops, though, because unlike many others, you are paid quite well on top of getting a free oil change.

This is good to know as I was scared away from EPMS because of what everyone says about the report length. I have done multiple reports for Bestmark and I didn't think that they were so terrible. I have done the exit interviews, oil changes, and the recycling ones. I would have done some of the restaurants but the times just didn't work out when they were available. Now after knowing this, I might actually try a EPMS.

I have had something similar happen with MF, where I take an "XYZ" shop and then the rest of the locations for "XYZ" disappear at the same time.

BestMark does have some limitations on the number of shops and the types of shops that you can self assign, even after you have been there a while. Eg., I can assign one shop per day on some and two on others if they are phone calls. To get two or more regular shops on the same day, that can happen only if you call a scheduler - and then only if you have a really good record with them.
