I Want More Presto Shops!

I Want More Presto Shops!

I am LOVING the new Presto map with the insta-shops. The only problem is, all of the ones in my area are already taken...some by me, some by other pesky shoppers ;-) ! Anyone have any idea if they will be releasing more in the future, or was it just a test?

More About Presto Mobile

If you did five, then your done. There may be more, but you won't see them.

There are other threads on this shop with Presto answering questions in them.

Do a search.

I did 3 for the pharmacy store, and 3 for a coffee store.

I like them too, but since the initial coffee shops there haven't been any Instashops in my area either.

What did you mean by "done" after 5 shops? Are you referring to the charter members? I thought it was just do your 5 projects to get the $25 bonus as a charter member but that you could still perform more shops.

Oooh what's a charter member? I haven't even heard about that!

No, the latest drug store purchase shop has a five per shopper limit. This has nothing to do with the extra $25 us beta testers will get after completing five separate projects.

Oh... I see! Y'all were referring specifically to the pharmacy ones then. I didn't see any of those. I want MORE Instashops. I really like them.

I like the regular ones too and hope to see more companies taking advantage of it. I'd rather look at a map to start charting out a route but there just aren't enough of the shops I do. Most in my area are compliance shops.

what kind of shops are these?

They're all Sassie shops, Amber. Not ALL of the Sassie shops, but only MSCs who use the Sassie platform can participate. It's pretty new and will have bugs, but if you haven't checked it out, you should: [insta.prestomobilesurveys.com]

The Instashops are very short multiple choice reports with no narrative. They are meant to be grabbed up when you're in the area. You can just go to the site on your smartphone and see what's in the area wherever you are. You can self-assign the Instashops but you have to be in the area already because you only have 1 hour usually to do it. It's a spur of the moment kind of thing to fill in when you have a spare moment.

The other ones on the map are just regular shops you need to apply for with the MSC directly as usual. It's just helpful to me to see them mapped out and I always like looking for Instashops.

This is not the case with the last one. There is some minimal narrative in several fields.

This is also not true with the latest one. They give you 23 hours from the time you assign it. I made a small mini route and did all five of mine and came home and scanned the receipts and did the reports like any other shop using my home PC.

The instashops are blue and the regular shops are orange.

Yes, Scanman1 is referring to the Insta-Shops (blue).

That's great news! Thanks.

Unfortunately, they no longer appear on the Presto Map in my area. I did one, and meant to pick up another couple, especially since I have those $2 off coupons. Me snooze, me lose!

Finally ... somebody did just what I was asking for so many months ago.

I had posted some time ago that I wished someone would create some kind of a "central" hub for shoppers with a map that would show available shops for those times you had some spare time and wanted to pick up a few quick shops in the area you happened to be at that moment.

And "Presto" somebody did it. Yay !!

Reply

Yeah, they did now if only we could filter the shops out by age and alcohol, and gambling. That right there would stop 3/4 of them.

I did three drugstore presto shops on the 30th and have not been paid yet. I have read that most get paid within 4 days. I am wondering when the next payday is.

Reply

I am sure you will be paid soon gigishopper. I was paid after 5 or 6 days; I am sure the holidays slowed down payment.

I wish there was a way to do more than five. Anyone know if there's a way to contact a scheduler to override this?

Jack from SASSIE/Presto here - just wanted to say thanks for all the encouraging comments and to let everyone know that Presto Insta-Shops are here to stay. We're getting a huge amount of interest from MSC's about Presto and we're anticipating many more Insta-shops in 2015 on [prestomaps.com]!

Hello!

Has anyone ever worked for AQ? If so, how did it go

I found it on the Presto site. Then I realized it's located in another country.

There's a bunch in my area. Excited to get some done. Love the quick pay!!!

I did one of the initial Insta-Shop coffee shops, plus a drugstore shop a few months ago. Nothing since then, but it seems like I may have heard about another series that was snatched up lickety split, and that I missed out on. I check Presto once or twice a week. Haven't seen any other Insta-Shops in Central FL.

I did every possible Insta Shop and got all the coffee I could in the morning.

I definitely needed a hydration product after using all the baby hydration product as my vodka mixer. I can say that I was dehydrated the next morning after using this product mixed with huge amounts of vodka. I guess I'm not a spokesperson for this product.
