Marketforce Lowballing?

Anyone else getting lowball offers from Marketforce for a particular type of arch shops? The offers are always double this time of month, but I am still getting special offers for a whopping $9 to $10.

Yep, me too. "Samantha" offered me $12, but I still passed.

Those FF shops in my area were all taken at $8.50 - 9.00. I guess it's not a low-ball if people feel that's good pay for doing the shop, which is essentially two shops for the price of one (counter and drive through).

Use to get them for more than $30 around here....not anymore. Someone else must really like the grease.

I have never done an arch shop. Number one, the food is disgusting, even more here in OH because it seems like nobody knows how to season food around here. Number two, these shops pay an insanely low fee for basically, as mialuce mentioned, doing two shops. I still have yet to do a shop for Marketforce and until I find one that is semi worth it to get a record established with them, I will avoid them like the plague.

My minimum on this shop is $20, and that's only if it's within 15 miles.

Here, the arches are extended into May. That might be why prices aren't going up.

I just noticed no shop dates on the arches here until 4/25. That's skipping almost a week, and brings them into the last week of the month. Does that mean they will be bonused higher? I doubt it.

I haven't been on Marketforce's website lately - I've been staying away from them since I swore off Fast Food shops at the end of January. I'm 30 lbs lighter for it; now able to run up stairs in a single bound!

I've gotten very few calls about these over the last couple of months. I don't think they are being scooped up, I'm sensing something is different.

There aren't enough Arches shop in the DFW market this month to warrant big bonuses. The numbers the past two months are way down. RobinMarie may be right...something might be in the air.

Mobee (application) does arches.

They've changed in my area, too. I was waiting for them to go up to $15-20 like they did this time last year, and . . . . nada. I know the company (Arch, not MF) has restructured a little--maybe that's why?

Well, this is interesting. I checked MF this morning and all was normal.

I just looked again and the FF shops are gone and the GS shops for this month are gone and have been replaced by GS shops due next month only.

April's shops are all gone...

..and here I was waiting for the GS shops to increase a bit more this month.

I got a Samantha email for a $19 shop that is located in a big store so only the walk in portion. I don't do the walkin/drive thur combo for less than $20 but I will do the walkin only for $19 everyday of the week. I was actually a little surprised by the $19 from the automated Samantha.

I took my name off that shop permanently long ago so I do not see them. But that ff place is one which is franchised. I notice where I live that when they have coupons they are restricted to certain franchise owners who get together to do the coupons. I have seen many cases of franchised chains where not all participate in all promotions, including the restaurant I did last night (not a ff). I had asked the msc why I never see the location near my regular job and she said it is a franchise and that owner opted out of mystery shopping. So perhaps that has happened with arches where you live.

Like!
I've Mobee'ed filet of fish value meal during their special week at $5.35. Right now Mobee does not cover the fish meal and MF is bonus'ed.

2 or 3 months ago, I did one of those shops for over $100.00. It was a pilot project for a different MSC. I was told by a scheduler last week that they are still looking at getting the contract.

I like the haircare product shops and the bonused grocery store shops. I generally don't do a shop for MF unless it pays $25 or more.

I just assigned myself a B/L/D shop for $15 fee. Did not receive an offer from Samantha, premium email, or phone call. If not eaten, I freeze the Southern Chicken sans the bun and pickles. It's not bad and can be turned into something. And, someone in my household will eat the burger. Leftover bun and fries go to the edge of my yard, where birds, coons or possum will feast.
