What do you think is up? I just got a shop for April and did one in March.
I've noticed no difference. They lost a couple of my favorites, but they still have many low-paying shops, all with fast payment. I'm not crazy about the low pay but I like the fast payment and I enjoy some of their clients. QAMS posts most of their shops toward the end of the month for the next month, and, by the time the month starts, almost all of those shops have been assigned. That's what happened this month: about 400 April shops were posted last week. Several generic "shops available" emails went out, and in addition Mary sent at least 2 emails herself notifying shoppers of April shops. 93 nationwide remain.
QAMS tends to deactivate shoppers without telling them they have been deactivated. They can still log in, but they can no longer see any shops, not in their location or nationwide, they don't receive emails notices, and Mary no longer responds to their emails. I think the posters who are asking "what's up with QAMS?" are no longer being offered shops and simply don't realize it. Some companies, like Market Force, make it very clear to shoppers when shops are not available to them any more; other companies like QAMS simply block the shopper from seeing any shops. I'm guessing they find it easier to just cut the shopper off and never respond to him than to be up front about it and risk the shopper's anger, complaints, angry posts on forums, and misguided BBB and MSPA complaints.
