There are always cartoons on the Cartoon Network. I think it's 24/7. The ones they put out these days are crap, though. I have a bunch of the good old ones on VHS. One of these days I will get around to putting them on DVDS.

They deactivated my husband's account without explanation. We never shopped the same stores so it wasn't because of rotation issues. They keep sending me bonus offers to shop the restaurant a block from his office (a 2 hour round trip and $8 in tolls for me). I don't understand their logic on that one.

They don't like having two shoppers in the same household. You are lucky they didn't deactivate you both, I am pretty sure that has happened a few times before.

I once was deactivated by MFI and it was a blessing because I started to work for more MSCs I was signed up with. But I asked them why, and they said I asked to be deactivated. I said I did not, and they reinstated me.

CFA also deactivated me because I just refused to do another one of their shops and I told them so. Next time I knew, I was deactivated. Then someone contacted me and I explained. I was back with them but so far I have not done any work for them as I became very discriminating in my choices. I have not had any problem with them in any way. Payment was always on time.

Who is CFA?

CFA is Certified Field Associates, actually under MFI.

Oh right, the purple portal. I haven't logged in there in a long time. I checked out some assignments but thought they paid kinda low.

They are, most of the time. I really enjoy doing the standees (I find it very satisfying to build things), but I tell the schedulers that call me that I would be happy to do one if I could get $x bonus (so that it is worth my time). I get them about 70% of the time with the appropriate bonus and the others must find someone willing to work for less.

I was deactivated because of inactivity, but was reactivated once I contacted them. There were no shops in my area, at least none that intetested me, so I did not perform any shops for maybe 6 months. Now I try to do at least one shop a month.

I worked for Market Force for about 15 years and one day I could not logon. I called and they said I was deactivated. I really miss working for them

I can only say that I have talked to a MF scheduler directly and this was 5 years ago and I just happened to speak to this scheduler recently. The scheduler told me I was a top, high performance shopper and they do NOT get rid of good shoppers who: Submit a timely and correct report, correct receipt, current and accurate pictures if required and honest reporting. Why would they throw away a good/great shopper?

I say, as also confirmed by the MF scheduler who has worked for MF for many years: Most shoppers that are deactivated : Do not turn in their reports within the reporting time frame, cancel shops, lose receipts, report incorrect names, report wrong shops, visit wrong addresses, total flake on shops, submit old pictures, do not follow the guidelines to a tee. Think about that for a minute: They have the choice of 400,000 shoppers to choose from. They are dependent upon their clients to stay in business. What good is a report from the wrong store, an old photo from last week, a receipt that is missing, wet, blurred, unreadable. How do you think they explain all that to the client? They don't. They give you so many chances and remove you as a shopper.

Shoppers will always say they deactivate for NO reason. Wrong. There is a reason. If you have been, (unless some kind of misunderstanding or glitch) and you have a good record, they likely will bring you back. If you have a poor, spotty record, likely not.

Yes, and for something that should not have caused me a problem. It was not my fault.
