Restaurant Cops

I am new to this forum. I have been doing shops for MSI/TrendSource for almost a year now. Today, I received "approval" from Restaurant Cop. However, when I followed the instructions for logging in and finally getting to my home page, I clicked on "Show me visits I can accept" and could not find any, despite my clicking on a number of different states (I am in close enough proximity to some state lines that I can look up more than one state).

Does anyone have any insights on this?

It's the end of the month. They seem to dump jobs all at one time. Try again in a few days. I'm a long-time shopper with them. There's nothing posted in my area right now either.
I have applied to this MSC and have not heard back. Does anyone know generaly how long it takes?
You will not hear back until/unless they have shops in your area. When I registered, it took several months before I heard from them. And if you do not meet the demographic they are looking for or if they currently have enough shoppers in your area, you will never hear back from them. One of my family members registered a couple of years ago and never heard back. He attempted to register again last year and got the message that he had already registered. Soo ....... "don't call us, we'll call you."

This may be one of the companies that does not work properly with IE 9. You should try it with Chrome, before you give up.

MSPA Gold & "UE" certified Shopping since April 2012 Arkansas, and southern half of United States.
I was approved to be a shopper for this MSC on August 6, 2013. I started to receive my first shop e-mail offers on November 12. I have been assigned my first fine dining shop with them for late December. They seem to only have one client in my area at this time but they offered three shops with that same client throughout the month.

When I told one of my forum friends about the shop acceptance, she mentioned that she thought there were posts on the forum regarding payment problems with this MSC. Then I got nervous so I just did a forum search for Restaurant Cops in the past year.

I see some comments from earlier in 2013 that this MSC lost several long-time clients but I did not see any negative comments regarding payments. It sounds like they pay by check and on time. Can anyone confirm current payment issues, good or bad? Thanks In Advance.

Fast payment by check, always less than 45 days.

Six shops completed for RC in the last 2-1/2 years. No problems at all. Would recommend.
I have shopped with them since 2008 and I LOVE them. Dan and Tracy are great. They did lose several clients last year but I have NEVER had any payment problems with them.
Thanks for easing my payment nervousness. You guys rock!
