Realise Online (also known as The Realise Group and TRG)

April 18, 2026

Website: https://therealisegroup.com.au/ This place is a horror show. Do not join. Pay is horrid. You typically get $12 for jobs with no compensation and a measly $8 if there is a compensation component - and then they don't compensate the whole lot. They often say it's a $10 minimum purchase but the... Continue Reading

MFI daily emails

April 11, 2026

Did anyone else start getting a daily email from Market Force this week because, "you requested a daily e-mail on the assignments closest to you." I think I used to get one years and years ago, but it stopped until I randomly started getting them this week. Just thought it was... Continue Reading

If you have read any of my posts, you know I value communication quite highly. In the few yrs. I have had reason to E-mail Cory, he has rapidly responded and provided assistance far beyond the norm in this business. It is a "3 thumbs up" for Cory.... Continue Reading

Rants On the Last Day of Winter

March 01, 2026

So, on my daily drive performing whatever shops I've assigned myself, I realized I have a few complaints: 1) BP shops - they ask the shopper to include as many problem areas in one photo. Why then why do they have all those questions that require a singular photo for each... Continue Reading

Weird RBG Experience

January 08, 2026

Hello and good evening. The first weird thing was that here we were on the 5th of January and the shops for the Pizza (Fast Casual) were still heavily bonused. It seems like they would have their bonuses stripped at the end of hte month in the past. The... Continue Reading

ISS email blocked

November 24, 2025

I am having an issue with emails blocked from ISS, specifically prismintelligence senders. I have tried 2 different yahoo accounts and a gmail account, but my e-mail providers keep blocking their messages. The messages do not go to spam either...just never received. Anyone else have this issue?... Continue Reading

My experience with Secret shopper.com

I just got notified a paper check was mailed today for 2 assignments I did for them in July and August. They were submitted on time with report feedback ratings of 10/10. Both were residential assignments involving travel and follow up offering Cirrus rates I was willing to... Continue Reading

Email providers for alias accounts

October 11, 2025

Can anyone suggest an email provider that they like using for alias accounts? I use a lot of aliases for various projects.I have been locked out of Gmail, Outlook, yahoo, etc., for having too many accounts in the past. Well, then I started using mail.com. I’ve had great success with... Continue Reading

Asking For ID

July 25, 2025

Often, when doing a gas station shop, the employee, manager or the person in charge will ask for your ID (Identification). I've always assumed that the LOA that shoppers are supposed to present upon the reveal was enough. For the BP shops, part of the inspection process is to have... Continue Reading

I like how this phone shop starts out. LOL

July 18, 2025

I got an e-mail for this phone shop and this is how it starts out " This project has very strict rules as to when shops can be completed, so it is very likely you will not be assigned for the date you choose in your application. ".......in other words,... Continue Reading

Ellis…Urgent- Insight appreciated.

July 14, 2025

I’m very detailed oriented and meticulous about my work and reports. I’ve done dozens of residential assignments for different MSC’s on several platforms and am really frustrated with the Ellis platform, report structure. There are outdated/contradictory/unclear instructions on several points, and the form is very glitchy; I’ve wasted hours of... Continue Reading

Scores

July 04, 2025

I am wondering what the reason is for the scoring data that shoppers receive on the particular big MSC's platform. That particular MSC does not give out scoring on the Magic platform - just an E-mail stating acceptance of the shop. Or does it and I'm not aware of it?... Continue Reading

Editor not replying to questions for clarification on a Ipsos interest rate shop… insanely frustrated!

June 22, 2025

Hey all; I’m at a loss for what to do here… I’ve rarely felt treated just absolutely so poorly by an MSC in over 10 years of shopping fairly regularly and I’m not sure who I can contact. It’s hard to explain gracefully, so I’ll give the play by play below…... Continue Reading

ANDROID STORAGE ISSUE: Audio files

June 16, 2025

So I do a recording in my Samsung Android and save it. But when attempting to upload to report, My Files page does not open up. The only way I could upload it was by sending to my my mail and then downloading it. Then it shows under downloads but... Continue Reading
