"Inquire about Credit Card" in ISS

January 29, 2023 10:14AM
A whole bunch of these just popped up. Clearly the client is the bank behind it and not the store, but I won't name either.

The pay is $9 and there's no guidelines or questionaire until after accepting the shop. I'm sure I could take it, read, and then cancel with no big consequence. But before I do, has anyone done these?

The visible description says to pose as a customer seeking information about a credit card, and that the goal is a brochure, NOT an application. (They emphasize this twice.) But it also says "see if an associate approaches you."

So I'm left wondering if I'm supposed to stand around for 20 minutes waiting for them to approach me (*cough Lowes cough*) or if I can knock it out in 5 minutes so long as I'm not obviously asking first thing through the door.

I've seen credit card inquiries start at $15.

I did a few of these in December. you can complete the "shop" side of it in a few minutes, assuming the store isn't busy.
I would walk up to the customer service counter or cashier and ask about the in-store credit card.

I signed up for 10 of these last night smiling smiley

I've done a few of these and would definitely do them again! They're super quick and easy, but they also get picked up pretty fast for that reason. The guidelines are pretty straightforward and the form is simple.
