Why in the world would I tell you what shops I do that I receive $200 (or more) for? Or even which MSCs pay me that much? And even if I would tell you personally and privately, why in the world would I post it on a semi-public forum?

johnb974, I started this conversation because I was genuinely surprised that reports were turned in to companies even when there was a possibility the shopper might not get paid for it, and that led me to wonder if said companies would still use the report. I did not start this conversation to have people call other people liars, or challenge them to reveal their pay, the companies they work for, or anything else that is none of anybody's business, other than the person concerned.
Please be courteous, or refrain from posting. Thank you.

As a scheduler, who has to fill those locations again when they are NOT USED, I can tell you that I have not once worked for a company that gets paid for a shop but doesn't pay the shopper. It makes no sense to do that. They want to keep you shopping that location, so they will pay you if they can. If you screw up, they cannot use the report, so you will not be paid. Anyone can believe what they'd like about it, with zero proof they do it, but I have experience on more than one front here. It doesn't happen. Not if they want to stay in business.

Well that's not true, ceasesmith. I have emailed schedulers about locations that moved, went out of business, etc. knowing that I was not going to be paid for it and they were shops that were not assigned to me. I had nothing to gain other than just knowing I helped out the scheduler and MSC, with no expectations of compensation or a return favor. And I am sure we are not the only shoppers who have done this.

I'm weirder than hell.

I have never had any shop offer more than $50, and that is very rare in my area.
That's what you think. Your behavior, if it is anything like what you post here, precludes you from doing many shops and working with many MSCs.
Perhaps you’d like to read the rules yourself?@eyelove2shop wrote:

IF that is true, they won't be in business long.
Edited to ask what proof you have that any company has done this?
