I made some great connections at the MSPA workshops over the years.
Randomly, I get a phone call last week to do a project that I have done 4 times already (2 different clients).
They mail me gift cards, re-loadable and pre-loaded. I got them a couple of days ago and activated them. I get to choose my locations from a huge spreadsheet. I go whenever I want to go within the time-frame (usually 2 weeks). I just buy stuff (no restrictions other than the amount spent) at every store and fill out a short survey, not even a report. I get to keep it all.
Once, I just went to the Grove in LA and loaded up my entire trunk with loot. I did a round of these a few years ago in Puerto Rico where they paid for my airfare (12 hours notice - so not cheap) and my hotel. I did not even have to fill out the surveys. I texted my notes for each location to the scheduler and SHE filled out the survey.
So, heck yes. I am available to do this project again. I'm super excited and so very grateful. The scheduler knows that if there is a hard to fill job that I could possibly do, I'd do it. They rarely ask though. I usually just get a random phone call or text. (If I smiled any wider, my face would break.)
