Five to ten photos for the amazing fee of $1.00.

HA! I actually did one of these. I was right there in the aisle.

I'm so ashamed. smiling smiley

Actually, it was 5 photos, snap, snap, submit, and half the aisle was brands that they had jobs for. You could easily make 50 cents a minute doing 4 or 5 brands. BUT - the upload takes longer than the job so I did one and quit. I got paid almost instantly.

I saw that yesterday and did a double take. The next job on their site was more than double the price and half the work.

Reminds me of Field Agent — I logged in after a while and noticed they had a $1 “bonus” waiting for me “for all my hard work”. What was hilarious was they asked a follow-up question of “How will you spend your bonus?” with various options like save it/spend it right now/give it to charity or other. I selected other and out “If you paid higher fees, I’d do more jobs for you... but I’ll take the extra buck anyway” Lol

Insulting price offering.
Makes me want to delete the app from my phone. FA isn't much better.

Observa has a local grocery store shop that starts off at $4. Last week, I did it for $12. I say that to say if no one picks these shops up at $1, they will likely get a fee increase.

I'd have said I'd use it to save up for a cup of coffee.

Hopefully 7-11 and not Starbucks!

The one thing that keeps me hanging on to FA is the dream that SOMEDAY all those "Ticket Jobs" I do each month will net me the $500 as the winner for the month! Dreamin' on!

There are so many ridiculous no pay jobs where the gas to get there is more than the job pays even in my prius. There is one I keep seeing using a coupon to get 20% off. This is a coupon anyone at all can get and use to purchase in the store. The fee is a reimbursement of up to $5. So I spend some time in the store looking for something worthwhile that costs only $5 or 6, then stand in line for 10 minutes to pay, spend my time down loading, uploading, reading the rules taking pics and answering questions. Oh and I live in a no bonus place.
How many of us happen to be standing in the aisle when one of these low or no paying jobs pop up?

I did one of the coupon shops when I bought my house and needed to stock up on some things. Even on sale, the items were so crappy I ended up flaking.

Now that WalMart isn't doing the pick-up jobs FA has lost appeal for me. When the grocery pick-ups got up to $8-$9 I was all over them. I like the recycling bales but apparently someone in town just downloaded FA because those jobs are gone by 8 AM. I'm not hurrying out of bed on Sunday morning to do $9 worth of work. winking smiley

I don't mind the recycling bales when I'm in the area. The $1 shops are an insult.

The sad part is someone in my city was reserving the $1 assignment...for $1...really? REALLY! lol

FA IS just as terrible with posting shops and taking them off...this month it seems the monkey in charge of this is trigger happy and is just pressing keys. I did 5!!! 5 screeners to get 2 micro jobs for $4!!!
Slow month and made more frustrating because the monkey can't make up their mind about posting a job or not!!!!

Field Agent is following suit, but their $1 shop is 1 picture.
