Has anyone had a hard time getting a mystery shop with them? I am asking because I have been applying to jobs with them for a few weeks now with no luck. I am getting very frustrated with them. I normally do banking shops for another company and they assign them very quickly and easily. Any suggestions anyone?

You are responding to emails from them and still not getting the shops?

It could be many things. If they have a mileage bonus on them then perhaps you are too far or someone closer also applied for them. They also tend to prefer using known shoppers over unknown. I think the first ones I did were very hard to fill locations for them.

These days, I get most of the shops that I apply for with them. In the beginning, before I established myself, it took some time to receive any assignments. I'm sure that it was end of month and they needed to get it done, so they chose a newbie. Keep applying for shops, it's worth it. They compensate very well, IMO, with their incentives.

I am fairly new but have gotten several shops from HC. The problem now is that I've done all the close shops and everything else is long distance.

Uh. That's a problem why? Long distance HC shops are significantly better than close ones. I've never done a close one (and probably won't).

... because I have an old car :}

Old car is a bummer. I find their distance shops to be the best as well since they pay enough to be an anchor allowing me to build a good route.

Yep! I love my car, but it's an oldie and I'm not sure how much pressure I should put on it to go outside my area!

Been there done that. My first few overnight routes were done in rental cars so I could decide if it was something I wanted to pursue before buying a new car.

If I were going to risk it, it would be for an HC shop. They pay well, including mileage, and are responsive to inquiries. I might venture out into my outskirts and see how that goes, but I can't afford a new car, so I do need to err on the side of caution.
