Johns states--If they can, they will deny your report and submit it to collect the payment for themselves.
Bob opines--I am guessing there have been 50,000,000 reports, give or take a mill, since shopping began. Has that ever been a situation where a declined report was submitted? Most probably, but so rarely it is not even a blip. In my 16 1/2 years shopping, I have had six rejections, of which two were my error, two were schedulers covering their rumps and two of which I disagreed. That is a sum I consider to be minuscule, considering I currently stand at 3.445 completions.

Times may be changing. If the MSC's profit margins are down, they will do what they can to keep them up. You see many are cutting fees. I have no doubt some deny shops just to cut one major expense, paying the mystery shopper.

It is annoying, but I've seen this whining so many times, it makes me want to scream. People are going to do what they want. If you don't think it pays enough, don't do it!! Some people do it because they just get free food. Others do it to supplement other income. It is not your place, or mine, to judge others.

I've had very few reports rejected. So much for what you know. It seems many MSC's are now looking for the lowest pay, no matter who does the report. The quality of the reports means nothing to them. If they can, they will deny your report and submit it to collect the payment for themselves.

Over the past four years I have read your posts about getting several apartment shops rejected from Cirrus, two audits were rejected from Marketforce, another shop where you went into the wrong cell phone store and got rejected, and I am sure there were more but I can't remember exactly how many...and that's just in four years. I remember all this because you repeatedly whined about it in your posts. Getting shops rejected is nothing to be ashamed of, but the fact that you never own up to making mistakes and take responsibility for it is lame. It's always the MSCs fault and never yours. I have had 3 shops rejected in 19 years of shopping. It was my fault. I reshopped when I was allowed to so that they didn't have to find someone else to do the shop.
I have also read your posts about fudging shop times so your shop would be accepted because you went into the location earlier than the guidelines stated. You have posted that you will take the paperwork into some of the shops because there is too much for your to remember when doing them. You have posted many times about shops that you received criticism from editors about your mistakes, and instead of trying to take it constructively, you came to the forum to vent about how the MSCs editors were awful blah blah blah. Of course it wasn't your fault, never is.
There were more things than I can remember that you posted about since joining the forum that were all reasons why MSCs might distrust shoppers.
