Blue Bank

July 24, 2022 11:10PM
I had given up on these because pay was always reduced to half if the bank elected not to have bankers available and shoppers could not speak with one, which was almost always. I just happened to look at the instructions and now they list several instances where the shopper, through no fault of their own, might not be able to speak with a banker but will still receive full pay. Did I read this wrong? Was I hallucinating? When did this change? If we can still get fully paid for following the instructions and do our end of the assignment I may start doing them again.

They changed the rules several months ago to allow you to make an appointment, so I always do that now. But yes, it does appear that the rules changed again. Unfortunately, the shops have not gone above $18 this month, so I have not taken any of them, which is unfortunate since there are a few near me.

Folks, I was paid $35 for those shops in the fall of 2005. Unless you are desperate, why would $18 be acceptable?

I have been making an appointment but am not using my real name or phone number and when I got to the bank, they had no record of it. Now I guess I will print out the confirmation and show them that I have an appointment. However, the banks were not busy and was able to complete the shop.

When I make a real appointment with my bank, they call to verify details. I thought to ask what happens if I don't answer. I was told that if they reach someone and it is not the right person, they cancel the appointment. If they reach my voicemail, they ask me to call back or the appointment will be canceled.
