IPSOS Sassie fee for closed location?

October 20, 2020 02:22AM
Does anyone know what IPSOS pays for a closed location on their Sassie platform? On their ishopforipsos platform, I believe they paid 50% for a closed location.

I received 50% for going to one that was advertised as open. But if they give you a link to check in advance, they only paid me $2 for sending them the screenshot that it was closed.

Thanks. For this shop, they say to call to check the hours, but in the form there is an option to say that it's closed. I took a shop at a mall that I will be at anyway, and I know that the store is closed. It's a high-priced shop, so I'd rather at least take a chance of getting 50% rather than $2 for telling them in advance.

Hi, just my opinion, but if you knew the store was closed, why wouldn't you just inform the company? It seems slightly unethical if you already knew. Now if you went thinking it was open and it happened to be closed, that's a different story.

Thank you!

Well, I did a shop for them on their different platform, and for that one they had me take a picture to prove that it's closed even though I knew and told them in advance. That was only a $12 shop ($6 closed location fee). This one is a much higher. I don't think I would consider it unethical, It's more taking advantage of their policy to make money on a shop that I would not be paid for otherwise. And one which has actually sat on their system for months, BTW.

But maybe I will email the scheduler and ask.

So I contacted the scheduler, and they told me they would not pay for a closed location and unassigned it. Interesting that they have a different policy across platforms.
