I have been looking for some of these for over the next few weeks but I don't see any? Any ideas?

Where have you been looking. Coyle is the most likely option, with TrueGuest next. But it depends on where you want to stay.

I've seen a few on A Closer Look.

Lately, the schedulers act as though their reimbursement only hotels are a big deal and make you take a hard to fill shop in order to do one.
Hard pass.

That depends on your local schedulers. I have never, in 13 years, had to do a hard-to-fill shop to get a hotel shop within 75 miles of home, and there are plenty of hard-to-fill shops in that radius.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

You are fortunate walesmaven.

The scheduler in my area directly conditions getting "better" shops to completing the "not so attractive" ones. I used to average 30 shops a year with ACL (hotels, dining and a few others) and completed only 2 last year, since the new system is in place.

As a comparison I complete an average of 75+ hotel night evaluations a year for other MSCs.

That is true. One wanted a shopper to do a hard to fill shop in order to do a cupcake shop.

Um, I'll do my $500 hotel and buy my own cupcakes, thanks.

They used to have a hotel near an airport that had a lounge full of hookers. I did it once for the points, but never again once I saw what it was like.

I'm not worried much though. I'll have new schedulers before I change my nail polish color for spring. Happens a lot around here.

We do upwards of 40 pizza shops a year, so I think that should be good enough, including the location that burns it every single time. Batting 1.000.

Are you referring to the ACL pizza shop? When they burn your pizza, what do you do? Throw it away? Have it remade? Eat the burnt pizza?

Rip off the burnt parts and eat part of it.

If the underside of the crust is burnt, what do you do?

Are you going to share which other msc these are? That was the question asked.

It’s usually the entire crust and soot on the bottom. Probably due to a dirty oven? I scrape it off or if it’s too bad, I have a few bites and toss it out. It’s only one location that is always bad.

Thanks for asking.

eyelove2shop. I guess MMMM was just bragging....he/she did not share any of the MSC's.

Absolutely correct. I get my self validation from impressing unknown individuals on various Internet forums.

Hotels have been discussed ad nauseam on this board. A 15 minute search/reading would give you at least 10 hotel MSC.

That seems like.....poor advice. Those are the LAST two I would check.

Yes but OMG those are some good cupcakes. I'd do them all day long.

I would guess a majority of Jan hotel shops have been assigned for some time now. All you find by the first of the month will usually be the leftovers.

Yes, but they seem to almost always have hotel shops.

If MMMM were to tell everyone which MSC's they do shops for, what would you all do? Everyone start emailing the schedulers tonight? Perhaps ABC Mystery Shop Company does lots of hotel shops. Are they just going to start assigning them to random shoppers now?

I do some great shops for a major MSC that everyone knows. It doesn't matter if everyone finds out which one, they aren't going to start giving them out to the masses. I don't know about MMMM, but most of my hotel shops are off the boards from major MSC's.
