Can anyone who does these frequently confirm with me that the Jumbo Jack combo ends up being the cheapest way to order for these shops? Just want to maximize my take home.

Yes for lunch/dinner. Seems like doing a breakfast shop and buying the cheapest biscuit meal is the best deal now.

But when the order taker asks, "medium or large" make sure you say SMALL! They do sneaky upsells. If you don't say SMALL you will get something more expensive. I get fooled often because I'm busy keeping track of everything else. Another reason why I don't do these too much.

Thanks for both answers. I learned that after my first one about the combo size. In fact, my first one the girl rang up all three things separate. Meaning my meal came out to just under $10. This turned me off of these shops but I got such a heavy bonus on one so I tried again. My combos now go as low as $6.32 and as high as $7.60. The reason for the price disparity I honestly have no idea since the tax is all the same percentage. There is still some quick small money to be made here.

I think that when you shop Jack in the Box, you have to shop the food that Jack likes. There are only a couple of options that fit within the reimbursement allowance.

Quick question: why aren’t the Jack shops marked as Completed with shop grades like 10 like other shops?
I have never had a problem taking JIB photos through the windshield. Just put the camera close to the windshield to avoid reflections. Sometimes I even get my side mirror in a drive-thru photo, but JIB does not seem to mind.@pegleg2000 wrote:
Yes you take pictures while in car. I have never had a problem with blurry photos and I have done a lot of these shops.

What allowance are you talking about? In the past 7 years that I have been doing this, it was always a flat fee Good luck with that. At base fee, you might make 2 or 3 bucks.

I always make sure I clean my windshield, drivers door glass, and front passenger door glass before I begin a JIB route. It's just part of pre-shop preparation, just like putting an ice cooler in the car before starting a route of grocery shops

I have never done one of these drive thru shops mainly because I read many of this type require you to snap a photo while in the drive thru. I do not think I could handle that and make sure it is a clear photo so I have not tried these. Do they require a photo from your car?

Once your used to these shops; they are super easy ..You should try one at least to see if you like it. They get bonused quickly and frequently, however I accidentally burnt myself out and signed up for too many on the last round. I think Ive seen it mentioned before but I wish they included a small optional box to give some more feedback..sometimes photos by themselves is not enough
Also the Drive thru photos are not that bad anymore. They used to make you take a photo of the actual drive thru window..
Also on your first go round..I would say to give yourself about 10 to 20 minutes excluding the drive thru time to make sure you got all the necessary photos. I would say about an 45 to 60 min for the report. Of course youll get faster the more you do the shops.

Sometimes some of the JIB locations have an employee standing in front of the preview menuboard waiting to take my order the second I drive up. Here is a little trick worked the last time that situation occurred. I told the order taker that I was going to need a couple minutes, and he turned around and moved away. It took me no more than a second to get the photo of the menuboard.
