Although I don't think I've ever received payment *that* fast, Research Services Group (now known as Mystery Researchers) is a great company to work with. They are responsive and they do pay quickly! Their assignments tend to post in waves.

Had the same thing as Sunny happen - my first two shops with RSG were on Saturday, and the pay was posted today. Way cool!
Sunny - I had asked about Mystery Researchers (which LisaSTL pointed out to be RSG) a week ago and the gang here posted some super helpful info, mostly positive, a little cautionary, but they convinced me to give the company a try, made easier since they clued me in to Mystery Researchers being a/the new name for RSG. I'm not sure if Mystery Researchers will be the common name used or if RSG will be retained in reference to the company. You can check out the past week's collective wisdom of the Forum through the Mystery Researchers thread.

As long as the shop you did falls within the cut-off period, payment is remitted, without regard to the actual date. It's usually twice a month. You won't always be lucky to experience pay in two days, but they do pay, and more promptly and often than other companies.

Best best. As far as I can discern they have nationwide projects which come up , I don't how often. Inother words it is not a particular retail shop,but for a partiucular client which offers shops at various locations.

I have done 6 shops for them since 4/23 which was 2 weeks ago. I have not paid for any of them. Job status on Sassie shows RECEIVED. What is that mean?

Lately, they have not been paying quickly...don't know what's up. Don't get me wrong, they are still paying, but not on their usual biweekly schedule.

I, and probably many of you, go for some time without getting job emails from RSG... then suddenly there's several ~ or at least a few. But last time the emails came out with jobs in my state, they were all *way* too far away to be worth going. I was disappointed! I love their shops, and they do pay decently for what is required, and quickly. I wish I could work for them more often! smiling smiley

RSG now has the credit card shops that Feedback + had and I think their scheduling sucks. Feedback + allowed a shopper to self-assign. RSG controls the assignments and parcels them out like they are gold. The scheduler also, for some reason, tries to parcel the shops for the same chain, i.e. same name, different locations which means you could be running to all corners of the city. When I could self-assign with Feedback I could set up a small route and the stores were not necessarily the same company but they were in locations that were close to me.

They gave me a few of the credit card shops the first round they did and had a royal screw up. Street addresses were for locations in the east but had my city here in the southwest. I had to have the scheduler remove these shops and I don't know if I am being penalized or not but suddenly I don't get any of the credit card shops.

I agree. I like the company and their fast pay but I find myself doing far fewer of these shops than when the client was with FP. After being used to self-schedule, I find it difficult to wait to be scheduled - and it sometimes takes a very long time. I generally request far fewer than I would have self-scheduled. And - I've not had great luck getting scheduled. In addition, several of the locations they schedule are closed locations - for which they offer no shopper reimbursement. I'm also hearing their fast pay has slowed down.

I am not going to request the CC shops from RSG anymore. Their tight control on assigning the shops is a pain and they take too long to decide who they are going to favor, and I do think they may have favorite shoppers. I also don't like the way they want to assign, for instance, all the same chain office supply stores to one person, and the scheduler hasn't figured out that by doing that the shopper maybe be running to all 4 corners of the city.
