I did something I almost never do today, I passed on a shop I had already been assigned. It was for the purchase of a gift card at a convenience store chain (although the job description made it seem like it could also have been at a check cashing place). Turns out the $10 reimbursement only covered the fee for getting the reloadable card, and you had to load your own money onto the card (around $20, not reimbursed, and paid in cash). Not only that, but the card has a fee for using it, and they said in the guidelines that the $1-2 fee was already "included" in the $15 shop fee, which was not mentioned prior to taking the shop. So basically what I expected to be a $25 shop turned into $13-14 and I had to make a payment using the card to get my money back out of it. Oh yeah, and I may have had to make a call to activate it, they didn't tell you if you were assigned to do this by phone or online until you saw the form, which I could not see without confirming the shop.
I was kind of surprised that Sassie did not automatically unassign it when I did not confirm it within 24 hours of being assigned it (I still have not confirmed it and it's been almost 48 hours). They claim it will be removed if I do not submit by midnight, so we'll see if that happens since it was scheduled for today. I did write to the scheduler earlier today using the "No I have questions" in the confirmation page, but have not heard back, and the shop is still there.
