Alex,
Trendsource's business model is one whereby the work:reward ratio is very poor, but by quickly paying, they are able to attract, among others, the needy. They actually did you a favor by deactivating your account. I fired them last year.

Cute Bob.
I guess I am the "needy". They like to pay me an extra $8-$13 on every shop.
I don't do shops at base pay for them at all. No exceptions.
Nobody else likes gym visits.@alextrainer wrote:

Does anyone know if Trendsource was dropped by their major grocery store?
I've worked for Trendsource for two years and they have some of my favorite assignments. Other than some of the best schedulers being "cheap", I've had no problems whatsoever with them and I've never heard anyone bad mouth them. So I'd like to know where you get this idea. What happened and when? Of course, there are always two sides to every story.@salisburync wrote:
Trendsource has a horrible reputation.

Thanks for your reply. I'm in FL and they haven't post any for Jan.

What I always advise people who ask for such companies, or what MS shops what shops, or what bonus to ask, put the zip code of major metropolitan areas, 50 miles out and you will see companies that you did not know exist and are shopped, who shops whom, and how much bonus MS pay on average. I will put a few cities because there are different interests in different cities.

Yes, one of their grocery chains stopped their mystery shopping program here in the "Southeast" (hint hint). I spoke with Sergio at TS and confirmed this. This chain has had financial difficulties in the past. Maybe they have them again.@sun&fun wrote:

Register with KSS. They schedule plenty of them for various companies.
Also BARE & HS Brands & A Closer Look.
I would sooner sign up for a weekly pap smear that do a gym visit.
I'll keep adding and editing.
Not sure what you mean by green grocery store?? The inside decor??? Eco-friendly??? Whatever it means, I'm not sure the store chain I am referring to is known as the green store. Might be another chain.@F and L TeleComm wrote:
The green grocery store?? OMG! I didn't even realize it because I don't do to many of them. How disappointing!

Trendsource is famous for not accept answers on their business checks. They also are dirt cheap. Others pay well over triple their amount. If a business gives me one answer I need to accept that no matter what Trendsouce thinks the answer SHOULd be.
