Jump on shops or wait for bonus?

It seems that gas station mystery shops and audits go faster in this time of year than the other quarters, for what I would think are obvious reasons.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Rotation is also something to consider. If you are lucky enough to have little competion in your area, waiting for higher pay is best. For example, If you jump on a blue gas station at base pay, you cannot even try to get that one the next quarter because of rotation. So you have to consider that 4-6 month wait period and want to make as much on the shop as you can when eligible. Now, yellow gas is only posted 3 times a year with a month off between trimesters. There is no rotation restriction. I will grab every one I can at base and know that I can do them again on the next round. More purchase options within reimbursement is motivation as well.

My best guess as well.
