Intelli-shop stinginess

I just took a look at the Intelli-shop job board in my area and I am just SMH. I know IS is know for it's low pay but come on. 2 types of shops caught my eye. One is a car shop that's been on the board for a while. Last time I looked, it was listed for $23 and due tomorrow. Now it says $22 plus a $2 bonus still due tomorrow. So basically they're offering a $1 bonus with a deadline tomorrow but trying to make it look like a $2 bonus for newbies or those not paying attention. Either way they're trying to get by on the cheap.
The second one that caught my eye is one of their perennial phone shops. I've done a lot of these at $5 per call. They're pretty easy, but they're recorded so if you're careless, your score can get dinged. They've now lowered the fee to $4 per call. I guess I should have seen this coming because the last time around when they had their double call shops, they only offered $8 for 2 calls.
I expect the phone shops to go quick in spite of the fee drop because they don't usually last. I am curious to see if someone will bite for the $1 bonus on the car shop.

Lately some of their bonuses have been listed weird too, like a $1.82 bonus with a $3.18 job fee. Seems like there's been some changes over there the past month or so
Very true. Well those people are welcome to these shops.

I’ve noticed they have been really stingy lately as well in my area... there are several mattress shops in my area and I used to regularly get them for $20 each. They listed them this month at $8 and even after bonused they were only $14. The report isn’t terrible but it’s definitely not short. They really don’t seem worth my time for under $20.
The worst I've seen in recent months is a certain paint shop. There has been one on the board all month for $9. Those are a pain in the neck to do and report and the town it's located in is not convenient without a bunch more shops to do anyway. There hasn't even been a hint of a bonus on it either. I did one at a different location a couple of months ago for $12 and I swore I wouldn't do another one for less than $20 regardless of convenience.

They were giving $8.5 for a phone call on a mattress shop and now they are paying $8 for the visit to the store!!
Also, the precious 36 cent bonus on some shops is hilarious!
Hum....I am waiting for 2, $20 payments from September. Shops show received. Never had a problem before. My husband who shops too got his October payment?? Due to their refusal to pay me $40, my husband will no longer shop for them. He is way to busy shopping to put up their garbage.

You probably better try and contact them. Unfortunately, you won't hear from them until at least Monday.

Intellishops reply to my email is ludicrous!!! It looks like this shop was excluded because the report was never filled out.
--------------------
My latest email to Intellishop. I tried emailing politely 2 prior emails and finally got a reply. I am not pleased. My response now is:
I expect to hear back from you within 48 hours as to when I will be paid for the 2 shops I emailed you about. They were due to be paid in October and each shop is $20 for a total of $40. The shops show submitted on 9/7/17 and also on the log show received. If I do not hear from you within 48 hours I will look at this as non compliant in your performance of payment. Perhaps I should assess a fee of a $1.00 per day for non payment. Lol

Well the field coordinator for Intellishop says nothing she can do if the report was never filled out. Two shops - she is not with the program. The surveys show submitted and also received. I snapshot both surveys. If they never get surveys on time wouldn't they remind a Shopper to complete their survey via email. Show me your email you sent me to complete the survey!!! My husband who shops too and I had to go the next day to do the Spring shop as due to the flood the company was closing early because they were using the parking lot for an after flood get together. Sorry company seems to be Intellishop. At this point I do not care if they deactivate my account. I did the Woodlands the same day as the Spring shop. A little strange they would say the report or survey never received or completed when they both show submitted and received. I snapshot this. Maybe Intellishop can find their email reminders supposedly sent to me reminding me that the shop needed to be completed if it was past the due date. Don't think they will as the report was completed and submitted and shows received. I do not take this lightly of their refusal to pay 2, $20 shops in TX.
Guess I have egg on my face. I did the shop and looked for the picture of my proof of shop which I normally put in at home. I could not find it. So, I did the shop and must have forgotten somehow to submit it!!! Never have done that. Must have been exhausted dealing with blood pressure issues since February.
