5 Guys visit limit? Does it exist?

January 24, 2021 03:56AM
Anyone with some tenure able to speak on this? After (x) amount of 5 guys shop does the MSC take a shopper off the eligible roster?
I usually keep an eye on 5 locations. Usually if I pick up 1 location it falls off for 2 weeks, but the other locations are still available for me to schedule.

My last shop a few weeks ago, I picked up one location and ALL others now are no longer available for me to pick up. It's been about 3 weeks since then and I don't get ANY 5 Guys locations in my potential shops.

Could I have exceeded a limit of number of times to go there? I did hit like 50+ shops for 5 Guys in 2020.

I've never had a shop rejected with the MSC and make sure I never do two in the same meal period. So just wondering if anyone has prior experience with this.

It sounds like you're seeing other shops on the board, just not Five Guys, right? I easily did 100+ Five Guys shops in 2020 and have not seen this, but there is one location that is still open but never reappeared on the board for me after this program was reinstated in early summer. I hadn't shopped it especially frequently pre-Covid.

Yes, can still pick up other shops from other companies on this MSCs platform. There go my theory that maybe I just couldn't be higher than 50 in a rolling 12 months!

How often are you checking the boards? I am still trying to figure out this new program. All of the burger shops disappear from the board at once and then reappear. There is no rhyme or reason.
