Hi all,
I wish we could just go back to simply requesting a bonus that I thought covered expenses and my time, and it could either get accepted or rejected. They are already so short on auditors, and I feel like this is only going to make it worse.

By switching to Presto for 2022, these Best Buy audits are now available to the over 1,200,000 people who have so far downloaded the app. Now you are competing with millennials like my daughter, who knocks them off on her lunch hour. It’s a Brave New World, time to sign up with some more companies.

I like Presto and the other apps. The lack of a middleman, the fast pay and using my iPhone as a paperless home office really do appeal to me.
I hated the old days of emailing schedulers (or, god forbid, calling them) and then waiting 4-6 weeks for payment. A couple times when I was first beginning I had a few shops removed and given to a route shopper; I figure that this is Karma giving back.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this; I saw $190-225 gas stations last month on the IPSOS job board ready for self-assignment, no scheduler contact at all.
The only caveat is that there was a 24-hour completion window and no re-self assignment possible. I grabbed three and got them done the same day, was paid 72 hours later. I do see high bonuses, especially in Q4 - but you have to be quick and ready to grab your car keys and go.

I took two of the Ipsos gas stations at $100 each and built a route around them. The day before I was going to do them, I got an e-mail that they were cancelled.
Now a scheduler for three of the other shops I built my route around doesn't understand that I can't justify doing her $15 shops without the Ipsos anchors. She said she's not responsible for other MSCs.
I agree, but I can't justify driving 175 miles and writing up three reports for $45, especially when it will cost me about $21 in gas. I believe she is a new scheduler.

You are talking about more jobs going to apps and having over a million competitors…
We can all clearly see what happens to jobs when they start hitting the apps. It is simply that the fees drop. Surely you can't be ok with that just because you don't have to talk to schedulers.

Exactly. There is now more competition so the MSC can get stingy with the perks. Something similar happened with the gas station audits. When the MSC was bought bought, all of the bonuses disappeared. That made it impossible for route shoppers.
