I checked my emails and the last one from the MSC was July 28th. I presume these shops are in demand, and are ongoing.

I noticed theres a glitch, or amazon is messing with us (not surprising). There's been times when i searched for say, the yogurt. The results show 1 page of results and its all different brands and i swear the 365 cup does not appear. However if i go go my "past orders" page and click on the yogurt cup product from there, it's available and in stock. Its happened with the ground beef too.

The website is awful. I can never find anything. If I click on yogurt I get 10 pages of items that may or may not contain yogurt. If the 365 yogurt shows up one flavor will be on page 2, the next flavor will be on page 4 and another flavor on page 7. There are only 3 flavors. In between will be packages of pancake mix, room sanitizer and all sorts of non yogurt stuff. Since I have been doing this for a long time I have gotten to know what they have but once in a while I find a new item. Swiss cheese never shows up, even if I put it in the search bar. But one day after months of shopping there is was. Now I sometimes need to go to my past orders to find if they have it.

I think it did end for me. No notice, but no new jobs. I had a pickup that I think became a delivery and my zip code seems to be excluded. Oh well.

The chicken and cheese always were consumed but we didn't eat all of the rest. Plus, the whole thing kind of derailed my low carb diet so it's for the better.... I think.

Hope that these will continue for 2024. We shall see.

I always pretty much pull up my previous order and click add all items to my cart. Occasionally there will be something out of stock so I’ll pick a different allowed flavor/variety. Also this will alert me to price changes.

There was an email a few weeks ago looking for shoppers in CO, Seattle and one other place I can’t remember. I know someone in Seattle and replied if I should send an email but never got a reply so I’m guessing it was quickly filled.

The one in Playa Vista California has come up several times this year. I guess they are having trouble keeping whoever they choose to do that shop. I did that one for delivery when I first started back in the very beginning but they wanted me to do it every week which was too much for me. So now I do pickup elsewhere and they only shop that store twice per month so that works for me. If you live far away from the assigned shop, for those of you hoping to get this job, you need to be in their delivery range to do it OR if you do pickup it will mean driving that distance to the store a few times per month. You have a specific list of items to buy. You cannot just buy what you like.

So, can you provide a hint? The forum is supposed to support others in the MS community. This feels like a mean girls club where you are intentionally whispering to the in-crowd and shutting out everyone else.

If you spend some time reading some of the earlier posts you will find that someone has provided a huge hint. Read that hint and then read thru the list of mystery shops on the official list. You should be able to find it.
However, also mentioned several times in this thread these shops are generally not on the job boards.
As a mystery shopper it is important to pay attention to little details.; Paying attention will help you out.

Obviously, I did read the thread thoroughly. What I gleaned from my reading is that at least half a dozen people have inquired about to get these and not one of them got a legitimate response. You said yourself these are not posted on job boards which still leaves the question of how do people get these?!? Honestly, your response was not helpful at all. @myst4au is right, there is a lot of "gatekeeping" happening here. Are they too good to share? And if so, then just say that. If not, can you actually explain what you mean? I have never seen these from the MSC I am assuming does these. I read the thread. It does not contain an answer.

Yes, on page three of this thread there is a big hint. But also we cannot due to rules tell people both the client and the msc in the same thread. I myself have explained at least once in this thread. But to recap, these are assigned as an ongoing job to one person. Unless that person decides not to do the shop anymore or for some reason gets taken off the job by the scheduler there will not be an opening. I am pretty sure there are some locations where there are more than one shopper if they need it shopped at that location frequently it might be split between two or three already chosen and on board shoppers. If one quits they may need to find another person. I have gotten emails from my scheduler saying there is a job opening in my area. I do not know how the scheduler decides who to send that email to but I assume the scheduler just sends it out to all those with in a certain mile range of the location. I got my first job that way , by a blast email I responded to. So if you are signed up with the msc and you live where ever that email goes to you will probably , I assume, get a notice if there is an open assignment. If you have any other specific questions you need to ask specifically but the above is what I know generally. If you ask which msc you will not get an answer here. And if you send a direct message through private messaging asking which company it is you will really annoy those of us who follow the rules of the forum. I am not saying you personally are going to do that, just letting all readers know that it is frowned upon.
