Intouch Insight cheap fees that don't even cover reimbursement

Anyone else tired of how low this company's fees are and that their reimbursement does not even cover the cheapest food you can buy so you end up with a $1 or $2 "profit" on a $5 shop. P.S. the food is awful. No wonder they are constantly trying to recruit.

The fees are low. I do like the food on the ones I do.

They do a sandwich place right? A really popular one if I remember right. I generally don't take shops if there is a slim to none chance that the required purchases won't be covered by reimbursement. Unless there is a good bonus on the shop.

But if you're a hobby shopper and happy with just a discount, it might be thing thing to do.

I think the only shops I've ever done for them under the new name are phone shops and visits to a TV/phone/internet provider. So no reimbursement worries there.

I do a truck stop for them that pays pretty good and the reimbursement covers the food I have to order.

The reason they can do it is because (at least here) people still fight for the shops even with $5 pay. It's like trying to get a Taylor Swift ticket every month when the shops drop! Refresh...refresh...ugh, too late, the whole month is wiped out in seconds, literally.

There are a few remote locations that might be bonused $1 or $2, never more. Everyone likes the flying bird

You need to update your post to remove the client name. The MSC is already made and that was a violation of your ICA.

I assume that you do not live in this area. The "name" that I used in my post is NOT the name of the convenience store chain. The two-word descriptor that I used is the species of bird that the convenience store chain uses as its symbol. I did not use the name of the client, just the name of the species of bird.

Apparently foodluvr got the post removed when it shouldn't have been.

That would have been an awfully awkward name of a company something like Canadian Goose or something?

You better watch out. You may end up moderated as well. Apparently using the species of a flying bird is forbidden.

So people are eating food at an"EXTREME WEATHER OUTERWEAR" company?

Interesting!

The outerwear company was also a client of theirs.

And that's where people were buying sandwiches?

How about I said there was a hamburger laying on a mattress. Would you exclude any company that shops hamburgers or mattresses?

Or if I said the "smart" company would you exclude the company who does the testing shops? No That's the "naked" company.

And is the outerwear company actually shopped? Never heard any mention in 10 or so years here.

Last yr., my post mentioning the blue bank and Maritz, a non-MSC, was removed. Although I both was and am ignorant as to the reason, it seems non-MSC are also not to be linked with clients of a bygone era.

Good Afternoon, just wanted to let everyone know that Intouch Insight is now going to be reimbursing more for the mystery shops! This should cover the Full Hoagie!

Leah80, I guess you work for Intouch to know this?

That was nice of Leah80 to let us know about the increase.

I shop for money, though. I can make a sandwich at home, cheaply, and not have write about it.

The shops now show a reimbursement of $8.50 which is an increase of $1.75
