I would not do them but that is just me. I get a little pissy about being canned and then expected to finish work - not gonna happen.

If it were me, I would complete assignments that I had contractually assigned myself to.

Who canned you and why? I think that would make a difference if I continued working for them or not. Seems a bit odd to tell you your services are no longer required, and then tell you your services are still required.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

This sounds like MF. When a shopper is no longer able to self assign new shops, he is usually permitted to complete any shops he had already assigned to himself. Completing those shops is not a requirement, and there is no "punishment" for deciding not to complete them .....after all, how would they punish an already-deactivated shopper......not let him accept any more shops?

Sorry to hear, Amber. You'll move on to other things. There seem to be fewer and fewer shops available there anyway.

So, what things get you "canned"? I have so few active companies in my area, I really can't afford to lose even one company. Tell me what NOT to do please.

I would sign up with more companies a clients move from msp to msp. Well they don't have anything this month they may next. It is guaranteed that you will be canned from or not want to work for some msps as you do more and more mystery shopping. Here are some reasons some msps fire shoppers
One or more Flakes
Inactivity- haven't preformed shops for them in a certain period of time.
Lack of checking in or updating extended profile.
One or more suspicious reports
Consistently bad or lacking reports.
Not following guidelines.
Or because they felt like it aka Market Force

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

I wonder if it is a mistake, that if you call them and tell them that you have been deactivated, they will reactivate you. This may actually just be an error on their part.

If not, I actually wouldn't trust them to pay you for shops that you are asked to complete after you have been purposefully deactivated. If it was on purpose, then I would cancel the shops and move on and let them deal with the shops not being done.

Actually, she did e-mail them and it is apparently not a mistake, although she is allowed to do the shops she already has assigned even though no more shops will be available.

Although MF frequently deactivates shoppers - they have a lot of shoppers and new ones signing on daily, so we shoppers are a dime a dozen - I have never heard of them not paying a shopper for a report that has been accepted, even after the shopper has been deactivated. Whether she completes her outstanding shops or not is her choice, but I would not worry that she would not be paid.
