Yea if it really only took 3 hours that would be great.
Clearly, you are referring to my post. Yes, it took 3 hours to do the shop in the casino. Probably took 2 hours to write it up, since I type about 25 WPM. Not a big deal. That's $100/hour, plus the fee (I think about $75?) and the expenses (around $100 for parking, meal, and gift shop).
So, since I make under $100/

Yet another reason not to do them (the cap)
LOL it was terrible.
3 hour shop (shift). Free meal, all expenses paid, and I got to keep $500 and the shop fee. I just wrote a check and gave the extra back.
That's like winning a car and complaining about paying the taxes. (I've also won an SUV separately from shopping).

stay away from cirrus; longest company to pay, have to send invoices, then you will probably have to chase down payments.
It seems Charleybuddy reminded me that I didn't share the ONLY 2 hard and fast rules that my son and I use for shops:
1. Never work for Cirrus
2. Do NOT do POP audits
There are other qualifications and preferences, but these rules

Coupon Maniac, I'm sorry for your frustration about the editor asking for additional information. I certainly can't speak to this exact situation but I can tell you that if a shop is submitted to the client we 100% pay shoppers. In many instances a shop can't be submitted to a client and we pay the shopper anyways and eat the cost ourselves when a picture or other key info is mis

Thanks for the head’s up.
I keep getting emails from BM for a singular “easy” weekend shop requiring visits to 7 high end hotels and spas for “simple” interior photos and “about 15 mins of time” each location at $10 per location, between the hours of 10am and 4pm on a single weekend day.
Did my homework. Travel alone is 2 hours during peak traffic times if you already live clos

Way back in time i worked for a company called Signal Auditing Inc. I'm not sure if they are still in business, as they no longer seem to have a website and there is chatter on some forums about them having not paid their auditors back 5 or so years ago.
Anyways, I did some jobs/investigations for Signal Auditing Inc checking PPV boxing and MMA, NFL, NCAA bas
Doesn't matter much when they don't edit the shops in a timely manner.
I have unedited shops from 10/14 on.

I got one last month. Seemed to be made in store. No idea how old it was, but it was hard as a rock!
I have had it happen over the years. I think it is usually due to poor cell reception. It doesn't happen to me on my home wifi (using phone at home).
I have a mac and a pc at home. Using the mac for photo uploading onto reports has been a game changer for me. (Teaching the old dog new tricks every day.)
Here's the deal:
Ipsos takes too long to edit your shops.
Sentry made you answer all of the questions and you don't like how they pay
HS Brands denied your shop after making you edit it.
Summary: it's you, not them.

Hey new member, can you elaborate how they're going to "fund" illegal aliens?
In California, we do it by funneling money through NGO's or churches.

I had three convenience stores that wouldn't sign, one that wouldn't give me his last name, and one that wouldn't let me in the back room. (There are always a few of these with convenience store recalls.)
I put "refused" or "refused to cooperate" for the name, and I announce it out loud as I type it.

If a person wants higher level compensation, often they will need to undertake some k
