I did a milk audit this morning. When I tried to self assign another one, I got a message saying it was no longer available. The same for several others.

The same happened with a fragrance shop. Hundreds of shops were posted, but I could only do one.

Are we limited to the number of assignments we can get or are they actually taken?

I think some of the shops are limited to one per person. I couldn't do more than one of the fragrance shops either.
Okay, thanks. The spicy sandwich shop locations all disappeared a few hours after I did one.

It would be nice if they would let you know that when selecting, though. So you can have a better idea of what you're doing next.
Exactly. I saw the fragrance ones on Friday and wanted to do a bunch of them. Had I known it was one and done, I would have left it at that.

Honny,

Most of the time, you’re limited to one per person.
However... I’ve had some audits where I could do dozens.
If I want to build a route, I check them by:
1. Assigning myself one,
2. Going back to the main screen and looking to see if the others disappeared,
3. If they have, and I wanted a big route, I just hit “CANCEL” on the first one. As long as it’s within 4 minutes 59 seconds, no demerits on your score.
The spiral-cut ham was "one and done", also.

I do not think it's onerous for them to add a note that it's one per shopper.

So far, shoppers have been able to route the measuring at...everybody's favorite store to hate...taking photos of rental properties....bales audits, customer service audits. Buy and try is limited to one. The current oil audits seem to not be limited to one.

I think Easy Shift and Observa have the same thing going on, too. Some of their shops are one-and-done, some you can route.

I agree. Just a note that the shop is limited to one per shopper would be nice!
There was one time I did a cell phone shop with 2 different provider at the same mall. The first one got APPROVED. The second one I did the shop RIGHT and they even admitted that NOTHING was wrong with the shop but guess what? They denied it because they told me that it was limited to ONE per mall (it did not say that ANYWHERE in the survey when I selected the shop). This is why I can't give higher than 3 out of 5 stars for this app. I appreciate the app and generally don't have too many issues BUT silly things like that make this app less than ideal and shopper friendly. I find that all apps like FA find ways not to pay shoppers to save money I guess.

You still have access to the cancel button? I haven't seen it on my jobs in over a year.
Yeah, I've seen it on shops after I accept.

The milk audits are back. I'm going to see if I can get one near the burger shop I'm doing.

I just did my first shop with them for online grocery order pickup. Saw the fee came in on my app pretty quickly but I'm wondering if we will get reimbursed for our grocery paid online as well? Anybody knows?
KV, the grocery pick up does not reimburse for your groceries.

Yes. It goes away if I don’t update my iPhone’s iOS system. Try getting all updates in, hopefully the “CANCEL” option will return.
Ouch. Thank you! That's why I don't see anywhere where they will reimburse. How do we know though if the shop will be reimbursed? Will they tell in the description? I don't have Ham shop in my area so I can't see how the task looks like on the app and whether or not they put the reimbursement clause on it.

KV - Most of their "Buy and Try" shops reimburse for the required purchase. The description will let you know what is reimbursed.
I've done 2 of FA's Buy & Try jobs. They do reimburse what they say they will, just make sure you upload the receipt. You also need to show the product has been open/used/consumed...they give directions on how to do that. They also pay a fee in addition to the reimbursement. Payment both times has taken about 5-6 days to go through.
The job this person is referring to is under the big box category.
