SSN Pending? BWW

Hello,
I signed up for a few MSC. One MSC state that my SSN is pending. Been seeing this for more than a week now. Is there something I need to do? The MSC says I will not get paid for shops until this is taken care of. Also, I got an email stating that BWW shops are available in my area and states that there are multiple timings and observations. Am I guessing correctly that this is NOT a shop for newbies?

Thanks in Advance!

Ty, it's not that hard of a shop. I personally like to do the carryout ones and I suggest you start with that, since the timings and observations are very minimal for only slightly less money than a dine-in lunch or dinner.

Hi JASFLALMT,

Thanks so much. I will look for the carry outs. If there is none in my area, I will wait a bit to see if any pops up in the near future. Have a great afternoon!

Ty, the dine in shops are equally as easy. As for your application, make sure you entered your SSN or EIN number correctly.

Some MSCs require a W-9 for your SSN.

I love bww

I do all three shops. They are fun and I enjoy doing them.

I guess my main issue with the dine-in shops is the reimbursement. If I dine in I always go over budget because I take my husband (beer). If I go alone I can stay within the range easily, but I don't really want to go by myself. And the take-out shops are way, way easier, with so few details required.

Thanks so much everyone for your input and suggestions. Sincerely appreciated.

I agree they are not hard, but the take out are the easiest. You still have to observe the restroom, see if you can see the manager and bartender, but the report is simpler. The thing about BWW dine-in shops when I did them is that the person's name was on the back of their shirt, so I had to do contortions to see their name sometimes.

oh, thanks for your helpful reply! i think i will try a BWW.

Try Reality Based Group for a sit-down bar visit for $25 at a popular steakhouse, you can go alone to those and come under or around the reimbursement amount easily. And, do the report easily as well!

Hi JASFLALMT

Oh thank you so much! I will check them out.

That's very nice of you to thank us for the info so often, you have very good manners. You can just like the post if you want and give an occasional thank you, though I do appreciate good manners

Your name is appropriate, Ty (Thank you).

Hi again, I did sign up for RBG thanks so much for the suggestion! Much appreciated.

Awhhhh...thank you! I will like more often.

The BWW shops seem difficult because the instructions (guidelines) are so explanatory and 'picturesque'. Once you do two or three of them, and the reports, it's not very difficult. However, if you do the dine-in ones first and then you do a take-out you'll find yourself saying "Is that all?" on the take out one; quite a joy!

Some companies I've signed up with took a couple of weeks to get the W-9 passed through their system to allow me to complete the process.
