The Circle K's were released for the month today. I have an idea of where they are on the map. I noticed that at least five were missing from the usual batch.
Did anyone else notice the same for their area or is it a case of someone tripping over themselves to jump on these at the base rate within a couple of hours of being issued.

@MsJudi There was probably another MS that handles these as well. I've never seen them go to a MS board or maybe I am not looking in the right place. With this format, they are all released (for this month it was last Monday) at the $5 point and as time passes, they get a bump, like today I think the quota was reached early because I did not see any listed at anywhere near a high rate. Early in the morning they were still at $5 and then later in the day, they got bumped up to $8. I always thought the bump took place early in the morning (around 3 am). Perhaps in 5 days, they will go up to $10, and so on.
The same company that has them on the app occasionally puts them on their own job board. I get an email notifying me when they do this. Then the pay is higher, but they take a long time to pay out.

According to the guidelines: The beverage photo is the only new required photo. The others new photos are "requests" but will change into "required" photos next month.

Thanks @AZwolfman, I did not notice that it was just a request!
By, "regular gas station shop," do you mean the revealed audit that they had a couple years ago or the mystery shop with 2 covert photos that existed all this year until this December's mystery shop with a required covert photo for each infraction?@Morledzep wrote:
AZ, are they back? It's been a very long time since I've seen any circle K stores do a regular gas station shop.

I wonder who handles the release of the Circle Ks. Last night they reappeared again at the $10 mark. This lead me to presume that they pulled them earlier to correct the disparity in the fee price for some locations. Some were still at $5 when the going rate was now at $10.
I had a route worked up in my head only to wake up and see that they were all pulled again. So frustrating.

Yes, those were 15 - 20 minute revealed audits after $3 worth of gas and a reveal. They paid a couple bucks more than the mystery shops. The last one I did was 10/30/2021, and I never saw another Circle K again until they were replaced 2 months later with a mystery shop with $3 gas, a C-store purchase, and 2 covert photos.@Morledzep wrote:

I mean the ones we used to do for the MSC that got swallowed up 3 years ago. I think it was $5 worth of gas and $1 inside, then a real simple photo audit. I used those to pay for trips down to south of Birmingham to visit my middle son. I'd work my way down there and do the last one a few blocks from his house right about the time he got off work. So I could have dinner and visit with him and his wife and have a full tank of gass to drive home.
