Not an MAO, but a call from a scheduler. The due date was two weeks away, but my high asking price was approved. I hadn’t even seen the shop on the board.

Today was two gas station/convenience stores. Between the two shops today and the one yesterday, I filled my gas tank.

Just snagged $125 motorcycle shop for due by the 30th for WNY getting a mild storm of 5 to 8 inches. Funny thing is I would have done it months ago for that price but they would not budge. Easy enough shop and conditions will be better when I do it.

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

Just one today on Christmas Eve, banking phone shop for Bare. Nothing tomorrow of course. Got a fairly busy Saturday-Monday lined up though.

The 5Guys prices are outrageous. I refuse to go over reimbursement any longer. Now, my cheese veggie bowl is over reimbursement.

The addition of cheese or bacon has exceeded reimbursement here for a long time. I haven’t done dine-in, including any scenario of FG, since Covid, and am not alone in my area. Bonuses are high and would more than offset overage though that’s irrelevant to me.

Today I'm doing a gig from one of the phone apps. I'm going to be in the grocery store anyway, so now, I'm going to get paid $13.00 PLUS reimbursement for purchasing and reviewing Ore Ida Sweet Potato Fries! Not too bad!

I assigned 5 phone shops for 20 bucks each. Did 2 today and will do 3 tomorrow. This is the first time I'm using a credit card. I was refunded minutes later after I canceled the reservation so that was a relief.

I did a few more storage phone shops today for $20 each. Some tire phone shops as well. So, I decided to get up early and finished before 10 am..Whooo!

Two verrrryyyyyy nicely bonused grocery shops, with a Pharmacy shop added to one of the grocery shops. Same company, same location, it can be piggy-backed onto the grocery shop.

I did a furniture store, which got me close enough to the rest of my errands that most of my mileage was subsidized. It was my first retail store in almost two months, and I was DEFINITELY rusty.

Today was just an evaluation of one of those AIM shipping shops, where you also make the phone call AFTER the visit.

Tomorrow will be busier....2 post office shops and 2 HP Ink audts.

I lost the receipt for my WaWa shop today. Tomorrow is a bank account opening shop.

@HonnyBrown..I am sorry to hear that. Just curious, what can you do to save a shop once you lose a receipt? I assume they do not accept bank statements' screenshot?

Mum,
In my experience, it all depends on the client and MSC. Some will accept a shot of your cc bill; some will not. But, also, if cash integrity is the shop focus, it would require a cash payment.

Not sure what Honny's situation may have been.

This MSC does accept transaction screenshots! Unfortunately, I paid cash because I have no electronic means.

Luckily, I found the receipt today. It was on the floor of my back seat. It fell out of my jacket pocket. The shop was accepted.
