Market Force it seems has last another client

They are only offering $10 fee and $10 reimbursement. I only did one to see what it was like and it was only 5 mins from my house. Horrible fee. I asked about bidding but they said not art this time.

I don't mind the $10 fee. At the old MSC they started at $4.50 and some yahoos in my area would take them at that fee. They never got a chance to be bonused, so I wouldn't take them at that fee. The report is easy so $10 doesn't seem that unreasonable.. Now if MF loses the other burger shop which is routinely bonused to $25, I'll be sad.

I did one also and the report did not even ask for the store front photo. I just drove across the street and took a pic though.


I just completed this shop and I had to go across the street to take the picture.

The time I went, the sun was in my in my eyes and I had trouble taking it.. But it has the sign from the street.. So hopefully they will accept my shop.

All of the October shops have just been posted on the original MSC, and the burger ones are still there for October- a whole bunch. The fee is a couple of dollars more, rather than starting at $4.50. (Raleigh region)

I just checked and the fee in my area is $ 6.00

I love CFA but it does not fill me up... I saw the email form Popeyes (About two days later) but some one already took that one in my area.

I guess I am not sign up with the MSC that does CFA.. Unless it is the same company that does all the DT shops during the summer where you have to time XX # of cars..

I haven't found shops for any of those fast food brands. Only Panda, which isn't even so close to me anyway.

Either they aren't shopping them in my area or it must be with an MSC I haven't signed up with and that doesn't get aggregated by Presto.
That company has other shops as well. For few years that is the main m shoping company for me.

I just received feedback from this shop and they were happy with it, The email said

Comments: Thank you for partnering with XXXXX... Your shop has been accepted and will be paid once it has been processed/finalized.

Prophet is another one and Secret Shopper has their own platform also.

And it's been a while since I've done one of their shops, but Sentry also has their own platform. Good company to sign up for if you are in Texas.

Is prophet something that you sign up for where you can see different MSCs? I'm thinking like jobslinger, etc. or is it just the platform working in the background? Thank you!

Prophet is a platform that few MSC's still use (to the best of my knowledge). It seems that most companies have switched to either Shopmetrics, Sassie, or have their own platform these days but Prophet was fairly popular back in the early 2000's. The website address for Prophet companies includes the word "archondev" before ".com" which always stood out to me. New Image Marketing is one company that still uses Prophet.

Prophet software BLOWS. They don't email everyone about the open assignment (unless they have changed their practice). It used to be the shoppers closest to the assignment would be notified first. If they didn't take the shop, the next notification would be sent to the next closest croup of shoppers. At least with Sassie and Shopmetrics the post goes tot everyone in the state. Some schedulers might send it out nationally which I have seen before and find irritating. Why if I live in great Los Angeles care about a shop posted in Kentucky. If I was going to visit Kentucky, I would start looking for assignments.
icu associates still uses prophet

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

Now that *** has added a tip screen before totaling the cost of the meal, I'm not sure what to do. I've found that some carhops can be nasty if I don't add in a tip. I emailed the MSC help desk about this, and just got a "tip at your discretion" answer. Will the MSC cover the tip, though?

The MSC will not reimburse tips per the guidelines. You need to remove the client name from your post since the name of the MSC is divulged in the title of the thread smiling smiley
Market Force has raised the fee listed on their portal to $10 in my region. I’ve never done one of these shops for under $25 (BIG HINT - you can make money with a little bit of patience) but I really hope this means that they are trying to keep IPSOS from swiping another client instead of just throwing in the towel. Time will tell I suppose…
I just checked the board of MF: they still have such client in my area.

In my area, this client is still only showing up on MF. November shops have been posted. I don't see this client on ipsos when I check. I hope this client stays with MF.
MF payments have gone up since IPSOS took some of these. I'm getting while the getting is good.
I think they not own the entire MS program just some regions.

Shopping Eastern Pennsylvania since 2009
The two locations in the boondocks from me for Nov. 1-4 are listed at $6 with MF. None of the close locations were listed with MF.
They have also begun to require restroom evaluation, which they temporarily suspended during the pandemic.
