Lids Application

Hello and good evening. It would be way too easy to contact the MSC (the little I) and ask why so I’m crowdsourcing the answer!

There is a round of shops for a clothing retailer--Lids--starting up next month. I’ve applied twice and neither time has my application shown up in the “my apps” tab when I looked it up. Does anyone know if you have to pass a certification to be able to apply?

Its time to replace my Oakland Raiders cap and I can’t justify spending $50 on a fitted cap (they have to be fitted for me). But if it’s going to reimburse me about 1/2 of that...I’m down to clown.

Any thoughts?

I don’t recall a test. It was hard to find something for the $25 reimbursement except for one shop. I found some winter hats for $3 each and purchased all of them. These were local college themed and weren’t even marked as clearance (original price $29.99). I selected one and when I reached the register and found that it was $3, the clerk let me go back and grab the other ones. These were a hit at Christmas! I will be on the lookout for another round to post.
From my experience, this is one of the more friendly and responvie MSC. We can guess, but better off contacting the MSC who can give you a definitive answer?

I subcumbed to your relentless brow-beating on the topic and e-mailed the scheduler. You win this time Okie...but I’ll be back. LOL

Anyway..48 hours out...no response. c’est la vie

Huh…when I saw the name “Lids”, I was under the impression this was some sort of storage container retailer.

I had another job with this MSC and I think the scheduler was the same. He had emailed me that he would be out on vacation for a few days. He should be back today.

BTW.. those Lids shops usually go higher. Anything in that store is way too expensive. Before Christmas I got one with a $20 bonus plus the $20 fee. Even then I barely broke even but I only did it because I wanted a gift for my friend.
Doesn't the shop require you to purchase one item, which you have to photograph and submit a receipt for? How did you manage to complete the shop with multiple items purchased?

I did this shop in December (no test that I can recall or if there was it was super easy). Anyway, i bought 2 hats. I photographed them both in the same shot. Got a 10 score.
I submitted a picture with all of the hats laid out in a perfect pretty circle and the shop was approved. I do not recall the guidelines stating only one item. This shop was completed in fall 2024 and the guidelines may have changed.

Yes. LIDS won't have Oakland Raiders caps. You have to find them on eBay. They moved to Las Vegas 5 years ago.
The latest guidelines are from 1/2025. They specify the purchase as a single hat or jersey. Did anyone complete the shop this round, purchase more than one item, and have the shop accepted?
