I signed up at $150 and it then came through at $130. I listened to the training call and decided that the nonsense was just not worth $130--especially since over the 2 year period you are expected to do these every other month, that $20 reduction in fee comes out to $240. Later I was reading at V a person who had done the preliminary experimental shops mentioning that the data entry time exceeded 7 hours. So my math . . . 10-5PM for 2 days is 14 hrs + 7 hours input, you are looking at 21 hours for $130. Sure the jobs may get faster once you have done them for a while, but there are better ways to come to $130 with a lot less nonsense.

I especially noted that you were to contact managers in the store multiple times each day if there were particular problems. I don't know about your electronics store, but I have stood around for more than 20 minutes waiting for sales help that has been paged/requested and hate to imagine how long I would be standing cooling my heels waiting for a specific manager to appear.
Flash,

Thats what I thought, they would be more trouble then they are worth it. Thanks for the input.

I also, saw that $150 originally. Has anyone participated in the pilot audit program that was conducted in October, 2008??
