Did the ExxonMobil Mystery Shop program end?

I haven't seen any up all month which is unusual. I only see Shell and Gulf stations.

No. I just did 4 today. They have the regular one and a new pilot one for 2020.

I see them on my job board, too.

If you have not seen any shops this month (!), check your E-mails. There may be one that says something like "other shoppers have performed the same shop and have found numerous discrepancies (or something in that vein).
You may have been removed from the program for being either too easy or the opposite and shall not be allowed back on until you call in, talk to a supervisor and understand why you were removed. The supervisor can explain it to you and allow you to once again, be in the company's good graces.

In any event, call on Monday and explain you have not seen any shops for that program. They can either assure you that nothing is wrong or, you have fallen outside of their algorithm and should talk to a supervisor.

It might just be someone scooped up the ones in you area. Try searching farther out. It being the end of the month and quarter, you may have to go way out.

Thanks! I expanded my search around 300 miles from me and I did find ExxonMobil stations but only two. If I was taken off the program, those two wouldn't show up, right?
I will call on Monday anyway.
Thank you so much for the replies.

Right. If you can see those, you are fine ... unless they are the pilot shops, lol, then it could be anything.

sounds like someone else grabbed them. Make sure you check you want to do the location again at the bottom of the survey before you submit. They auto assign may of them

New round just posted, in my area anyway.

These are great if they have a bonus.

A Dad shopping the Ark-LA-Tex and beyond.

CIRCLE K.rebranded and are now branded under their name Exxon Mobile lost ALOT of stations when that happened.

Just a quick question, is Exxon Mobil staying with the same MS company? Just wondering because I have heard about this "Pilot" for 2020, but thought I also saw a program for them on another company site. Just Wondering.

The only problem with doing that is you get the base pay. They bonus quickly. Most of the ones I do are bonused.

They posted yesterday in my area. "Evening eligible" does not say what the evening incentive is, or if there is one. Only that there is an incentive for using a particular payment method. Has anyone self assigned and been able to see whether there is actually an incentive for shopping in the dark? And if so, how much? TIA

I have not self assigned any, but they did the same this month, not mentioning the incentive for evening eligible shops. It did not show up even after assigning, but they did pay the incentive. This past January the incentive was $5.

I self assigned a couple. It is $5.

Thank you! I took a few. Mine show $7 for dark now that they are on my shop list.

The ones in my town usually get grabbed before they get bonused. It is an easy shop once you have done a few. I would rather have guaranteed money than sit around and wait for a few extra dollars and not get the shop at all. I love these shops but I hate the green ones and the yellow ones. .

We think alike on these. The key is to know one's market: if they are not going to sit around then don't wait. I created a spreadsheet about two years ago listing certain areas of my market and marking down when monthlies and quarterlies were being taken (when I noticed them taken, anyway). It's not foolproof but I feel alot more comfortable waiting for a couple areas, but know I have to take certain spots if I want then, or else I am not getting them.

I did this for the yellow brand too, but as I don't like them as much I've settled on focusing on them for one of their three periods were I can maximize my profit with this MSC between these two major brands. Other brands like orange or the one they still have that is bundled are added to my main focus.

One can make good money just getting base on gas shops. It can't be the exclusive focus, but it can be a large one.

I have not done any of these Exxon/Mobil audit shops. It seemed like there was a lot of time consuming work to do. Other than getting the gas and purchase inside the store, what is it about these shops that take the most time to do? What is the worst part of these shops? (I'm not worried about safety and darkness).

There are a few changes this time. I haven't read the instructions thoroughly but what I noticed right off the bat is the format of reporting has now gone to the pick box format, like yellow. And now there has to be more than one infraction type at the pumps with pictures of both. I.E. decals in poor condition, would need to be at least 2 and a picture of each.

Fear not, last week I saw plenty of them on the board for first quarter 2020...same company.
