Did MF lose another client??

Mod note: Post removed as it breached the Forum guideline which states, "Do not reveal the clients of mystery shopping companies". Additionally, it is usually an ICA violation to name both the MSC and client.

I was just about to ask the same question, but a different client. Usually, there are 30-50 jobs open on the board, but for the last few days, it has been 5-8 jobs with no wireless shops. I wonder what is happening. We don't have that client in our area, so I can't answer your specific question.
It is a violation to name both a MSC and client together. The shops are still being posted.

I've noticed that the shop allowances appear to have changed up some. Used to be, I could perform X amount of the same company shops in a blue billion locations within the month. Now, many of them are capped off until it gets closer to the end of the month or make-an-offer. Example are the drive thru, wireless, and home style shops. Instead of 5ish a week, I can schedule perhaps 2 before they are unavailable. After I perform my shops, a few days pass and the rest pop back up.

OP I haven't seen those shops in a few months now either. I think June may have been the last one I saw.
I haven't seen the FF chain known for their burritos in a while. I used to have two or more every month.
Market Force's most recent "Shopper Messages" on their website reminded us of that "you agree not to disclose the names of MFI's clients..."

I wonder if that was in response to this post.
Actually, I usually get bonused shops from flakes. Just did a 10 minute, 15 minute input for $70 due to a flake.
The wireless shops seem to go fast. I had a response that the shopper thought that they were easy, quick 10-15 minute visit, 1-15 minute input. I have never done one in under 20 minutes so that the sales associate has the opportunity to do well. Pity the poor sales associate that receives her evaluation.
I did a bonused wireless shop that took only 9 minutes. They are super easy and only take long if there is a wait to be helped.
Dagwood, I've done plenty of wireless shops for a few different MF clinets that were 10 min. or less. Sadly I can't force information out of an associate. If they don't ask any questions, describe product features, or give details of plans (depending on the shop) the job is a quick one; even with my long uncomfortable silences hoping to encourage the associate to elaborate.
The last couple shoppers messages have been related to threads on here, unless its just a coincidence.
I have been blocked from certain locations or clients, based on shopping them too much. It took six months to a year to see that location/client again.
Marketforce makes flaking more likely with their reluctance to give the same bonuses that they did in the past. Shops are going to the lowest bidder instead of the seasoned shoppers that can be counted on.
It seems like they are getting stingy with the bonus' the last month or so. That's ok because the Holidays are coming up and bonus will be nuts this year!

Just means us shoppers need to get stingy with our time. I have had months go by where I did $500 for just a few shops for them, months when I only do $30. But if they want a shop done right, they call me (maybe) or accept my offers on their site. winking smiley
Not all. I've had assignments for just checking specific merchandise with no interaction required.
