Seelevel

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone more experienced can help. I have been doing shops with Seelevel for almost a year and today I went to assign myself to a shop which I have been doing for almost a year and it said I didn't meet the qualification of premier shopper. I tried to go through the help option on their website and the FAQs and do not see anything about this. I looked to see if maybe it's a test but am not seeing anything about that on their site either. I haven't shopped the location I was trying to select in several months so I know it's not a rotation issue. I have never seen that error message and am wondering if anyone has seen it and if so what does it mean?

I haven't shopped them in a little bit, but I started seeing people on this forum claiming that the Premiere Shopper status was another name for "hero citations." Perhaps SeeLevel is making them worth something now. Perhaps check other shops listed or emailed and look for the offer of the PS status.

@ShopSouthTexas I actually was looking at the site again and it appears you are now required to Geoverify and it says you have to download the app. I did that and it's still not letting me self assign...very strange..
I just tried to assign for the new round as well and got the same message. Tried searching the FAQ found nothing. So I'm not sure what it requires either since I have all 10s with them so far..
This one was no big deal though since the one I tried is 30 miles away, but I'd like to know what's required now.

EDIT: After posting I remembered getting an email a while back for a shirt and tie show that would put me on the premier status. Searching I've gotten a couple other emails like that for various shops. NONE, however are all that close to me. If nothing is offered closer or while I'm out on a route I seriously doubt I'll ever become premier with them. (Let's face it, its it worth traveling 50 miles to do a small bonused shop and get premier status just so I can do a $5 shop near me once a month or so?)
I like Seelevel, but there are way too many other MSCs out there to shop to waste my time chasing after some premier status symbol with them.

So they are taking on the bribe factor. Which I don't understand when it's a low level food shop. Steakhouse with generous reimbursement sure, but a meal with maybe a $25 reimbursement won't entice me personally to go out of my way to earn the status. (I personally haven't attempted to self assign the shop so I may be wrong about the shop this is tied to).

It is a casual dining shop that I applied to, it has a low shop pay and around $25 reimbursement... I haven't even received an offer to do a shop to get the premier status like some of you have mentioned. I'm wondering do you keep the premier status for life, is it per year, quarter what? It seemed like the way I understand it that you will be able to self assign if none of the premier shoppers want the shops...
My home page indicates 0 Geo Verifications even though I have done at least 4 last year alone with them for the client. I am now also blocked. I sent a email addressing this. Makes no sense to say that by using Geo Verify one gains Premier Status then blocking all shops that use GV if you are not PS

If that's true then I can see SeeLevel potentially having to give more bonuses then they'd like. Like here, the one I do sometimes will sit on the board a few days anyway, and again it's really about the only shop they have near me (20 miles or less). If the other shopper or two that pick that shop up here aren't premier shoppers, SeeLevel would open it up pretty close to their deadline for the shop, and we all may be booked (Heck I could go an entire week doing nothing but MarketForce shops here nonstop. I'd go crazy, but I could).
I can understand them wanting better shoppers on stuff, but if having all 10s isn't good enough to be in this elite club, why bother with rating the shops at all?
Beginning this month, we are releasing shops a few days early for shoppers who are a part of our Premier Shoppers program. A day or so after being posted for Premier Shoppers, these shops will be made available for everyone to apply for or self-assign.

--What is a “premier shopper”?--
Premier shopper status is earned by shoppers who help us out with some of our exclusive programs. By doing a shop for one of these exclusive programs, shoppers are granted this status. Premier shoppers get “first access” to apply/self-assign some of our most popular programs.

--What programs will grant me premier shopper status?--
Please email for this info.

--I completed a shop on one of these programs above, when will my premier shopper status be added?--
We update the list once a week based on shops that are sent to the client. If your shop one of the programs above is still in QA, then you will not be granted the status yet.

--How long will my premier status last?--
For now, as long as you are doing monthly/quarterly shops on one of the programs listed above, you will retain your premier shopper status.

Thanks for the explanation....of course the parts quoted above are kinda not very helpful when put together.

Interpreting the rest as I see it for me, I pretty much would still have ot drive about 50 miles to do one of the premier granting shops (unless one magically moves closer soon) to get this status, and make that trip at least once a quarter to keep that status. Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

But the info posted above is helpful. So now we know.
My home page currently states:
"Become a preferred shopper by using your iPhone or Android phone to verify your location when doing GeoVerify-enabled shops"

I emailed my scheduler as my total GeoVerify count shows as 0 even though I have submitted GeoVerification code for a number of shops over the years.

That being said, it doesn't make sense to me to have to perform a shop that a) I am not interested in; b) is not reasonable distance from me. PLUS I have neve been offered the opportunity to perform a shop and earn the Premier Status.

Having successfully provided excellent assessments for your clients, for over three years, taking away a source of income from me is a slap in the face.

The landing page where all of your current and past shops are listed below your current status information.

Okay, the shop log. I found the Geo-verify count, but it was wrong. I still saw nothing about Premier status.

I copied the text on Shop Log to the right of my count. Maybe you have Premier Status so the text isn't necessary? They still haven't responded to my email, since my 0 count is incorrect.

What if you don't want geoverify or don't have an iphone? I'm guessing that when they have to pay bonuses on the six in my area that they'll stop being *&^ks about it. I'm not going to do any shops for them if they insist on this. They don't pay very good anyway.

How good they pay is subjective. They removed the requirement to be Premier on the updated listings. If using GeoVerify is an issue for you, then yes do not apply. GeoVerify has both Android and Apple versions. It is simple and clean.

I do though not understand why a shop that requires a receipt also requires GeoVerify???

Well, apparently the Shopper Log on most Sassie sites has the same blurb about using GeoVerify. Maybe the MSCs haven't set up the counter to be updated when we actually provide the code?

Ok I'm a little miffed:
- I checked the Shop Log for me and it states "0" Geoverifys. WRONG! I've used Geoverify literally every single time I've done a shop for them. And I've done approximately 30 shops for them.
- I think the Premier Shopper thing is bs. It reeks of Intelli-shop and their Hero Citations. I'm not going to bend over backwards just to get a cool-sounding title that lets me do a $15 wing shop.

End of rant
Using GeoVerify has nothing to do with Premier Shopper status.

"Become a preferred shopper by using your iPhone or Android phone to verify your location when doing GeoVerify-enabled shops" does not refer to the Premier Shopper program.
