2008. Not sure how many shops. I work for them on a very limited basis since I do not do FF at all and asked to have myself removed from all FF clients.
ETA: I have never been contacted with a question or clarification. I have never had an unaccepted report. I think I had to cancel once due to a highway closure on my way to an assignment with a small shopping window and not alternate dates to reschedule. I actually sent them a picture of the accident from my cell phone.

since 2008. Number of shops is estimated around 100 to 150.
Happily shopping Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut
2004 - Well over 1000 shops

Originally from 2003 to 2006. In 2008 I found they had deactivated me for inactivity and was reinstated. Unlike a lot of other long time shoppers, my total shops is probably in the 650 to 750 range. I often go 12 to 18 months or longer without performing one single shop for them.

Back when they were still Shop N Check, they deactivated me when I raised cain about them not paying me for a well bonused bank shop. They claimed that I was the branch manager's cousin and stuck by their story. They got the report free and I blew them in to the attorney general's office.

It seems to me that the replies so far disprove the common theory that Marketforce deactivates people when they get to a certain number of shops. Some real longevity in the group reporting and high numbers of shops as well. For me it has been 5-7 years with under 100 shops. No fast food for me either.
I have been with them since 2000 and have never been deactivated. However, I had 3 shops disqualified this month and for very minor reasons, ( I had explanations for them which they would not discuss with me) two of which were the employees fault. Never had this happen before but will be very cautious when accepting future assignments. I even suggested that they use the reports to train the employees.

We aren't supposed to give opinions so suggesting this to company would be frowned on I'm sure.

I don't think it's a certain number of shops, either, but maybe a certain point where one outlives their usefulness perhaps.
While I'm certain still active after about 600 shops, I do notice that a few FF "homies" shops never come up on my list anymore--and they are still definitely open for business. I never got those shops rejected because I was spotted and they usually did great work, so maybe it was supposed that my thoughts were clouded because I never gave them bad reports. Not that one should go out of their way to judge one way or the other, right? Just the facts, folks.
Who knows, but it makes for fun passing of idle time.
Since 2011. I've done more shops for them than any other MSC because they keep calling me with bonuses.
2011. I've made many honest and /or stupid mistakes including two instances of overlapping times, and one time I had to ask them to send back a report because I was too stoned to remember what I wrote. Actually I told them it was a reaction to medication. They still like me.

I have been with Market Force for approximately 10 years. I have had a very quiet and fruitful relationship with them with only a few questions and/or problems which were easily sorted out. MF is one of my favorite MSC's.
Ok, here goes... I joined them in 2013 and stopped applying for shops because of an open wound that would not heel. I couldn't go MS.So, I went to apply a week ago and I couldn't log in. I sent an email to the helpdesk. Never got a reply. I have done this two more times and still no help. I want to do two shops through them, maybe. I am flustered that I can't get a reply.

i have been with MF since 2007 and last week they sent me a dear john email, saying that they are no longer in need of my services. No explanations, nothing, just thanks but no thanks.

Same. I started in 1999 with them. They used to call on the phone and mail the paperwork to me. I remember reporting over the phone too.
Since 2012 and over 600 shops completed.

So your good at committing fraud and giving a false SSN # as well? You can't go back with another name without committing fraud and felony class c tax evasion.
