Wish I could ask what MSC but I know I can't. Oh well maybe I'll stumble across it some day. One of the Kroger owned chains is my usual grocery stop so it would be nice to get paid to shop there.
You need an EIN# for this MSC.....smiling smiley
Seriously? How do you get one of those?

A little internet savvy can get you answers and point you in the right direction. There are some threads on here pointing to who does grocery shops. Might be worth it to check out. If 15 companies are listed as doing these, chances are, one of them will be in your area grinning smiley I have found 3 chains in my region this way. It does help out!

A poster in this thread referred to PAD, which is a term that I think is unique to the MSC in question. I'm not sure because I don't do these shops. Just guessing.

I have not purchased beer or cigarettes on these shops, but all sorts of non-perishable items. I would check the instructions for whether or not cigarettes or alcohol can be purchased. The certification quiz does not address these issues.

The quiz does not address this, neither do the guidelines. I took Irene's advice, got the cigarets, and the report was accepted without questions.

PAD is $ you may ask for if shop is far enough away.

I think Chris is saying you can figure out the MSC who does these grocery shops since they are the only MSC who uses the term PAD.

Only if the new shopper knows the term PAD, then it is a giveaway, but many don't know...it is a good hint, we just assume everyone knows everything.

The MSC that I do grocery shops for will allow you to earn up to $599.99 WITHOUT an EIN, just using your Soc Sec # is ok....but once you hit that $600.00 threshold, you have to get an EIN.
