The ones that are not self-assign are in GREAT demand. Unless you apply very quickly and have a great track record (as in working for them for years with many shops), you are not going to be high on the scheduler's list. Your post sounds as though you have only done three shops, all self-assign, for CI, and you got a 10 on the reports. Getting 10s with some companies would be a wonderful thing, but it depends on how many other shoppers get 10s. CI grades easy so I'm betting everybody gets a 10 on their reports, as compared to Confero and Service Check, who grade much harder, and not everybody makes a 10. So 3 reports with 10s for Service Check would be a great track record; for CI, not so much. I've been working for CI for 8+ years now, and I get assignments for a good percentage of things I apply for, but I don't get everything I apply for. And, it took me a couple of years to build my track record. As a newbie, it took a while before I was assigned.
Keep in mind that there are a lot of other shoppers and that these shops are very popular - everybody wants them. How many shops have you done for them? How long have you been registered with them? How long have you been mystery shopping? I would say be patient and work to build your track record. You can't expect to compete with shoppers who have worked with them for years until you've been with them for a while.

Is there any secret to getting the ones that the scheduler has to approve? So far I have done 3 self-assign shops, and gotten a 10/10 on all of them. But anytime I request one that is not self assign, I never get it! Is there a magic number of self assign shops I need to do before the other ones get assigned to me?

Surprised by above post and sorry to hear that. i just did a job for them yesterday, they do require a different report, but spell it out with their sample reports....after 10 years, I had one problem and they worked with me, not hard tor reach. I couldn't disagree more,love this company...in fact, I complained I wanted my restaurant job, but had to wait another month, Scheduler assigned it to me wishing me a happy holiday...couldn't have been more responsive.
Edited: I know, I know, I repeated myself....bear with me.....
