VW service shops?

I don't have a VW...but I am seeing these posted now. I don't remember seeing them before, but never looked for them either. $25 pay and $100 reimburse. I did not look at what is wanted/needed as I have no interest in the shops, but just letting others in... Continue Reading

Grocery store shops $20 pay, $2 reimbursement question

Just got an email with several stores (I think Fresh Market based on addresses) needing to be done this week. Info says $2 purchase (joke, imo, but whatever, as you also get) $20 pay. Have to download an app and be in the store 45 minutes gathering data for them... Continue Reading

PF Chang's

Interesting to see this pop up on the Jersey Mike's reimbursement only MSC. Only one of four nearby locations for this round. $80 reimbursement, which is maybe possible if you stick to sodas and probably not doable if you get alcohol. Two entrees, one app or dessert, two drinks. Someone... Continue Reading

Fleet Feet Running Shops

Can I just say that, as a runner, I was super excited to grab a heavily bonused one off of one MSC a few weeks ago, and then just this week another one on a different MSC at a different location in town with a $120 reimbursement? I just... Continue Reading

J Alexander's changing MSC?

I see J Alexander's dinner shops listed with the "smart" company for $150 reimbursement only. It apparently still requires the bar visit too. The "knee injury" company reimbursed more didn't they or were they $150 also? I've done the lunch shops for $75 since you don't have to mess with... Continue Reading

SPA shops in South Texas

Hello and good evening: I know it's a longshot but I need a pedicure real bad. I'd also like to get reimbursed for a pedicure...real bad. I also have a wonderful new love in my life who wants one...real bad. Anyone know of any that take couples in South... Continue Reading

Please no more Jersey Mike's

I must live in a sea of locations because the board is just clogged with them. I don't like the no pay (reimbursement only), but I've done a couple, and enough already! How many bad pictures of their stupid slicer do they need?? Wish there were a way to filter... Continue Reading

Would you submit a mostly-reimbursement shop if your item was free?

I did an upscale chocolate shop for the company that pays in Euros. The reimbursement covers a smallish box of chocolate plus a small payment. I try to do these when they come around because I like the chocolate. Anyway. I did one last Wednesday, no problems. I did another... Continue Reading

Frustrating emails with jobs xxx miles from my home...

This is the mileage I looked up for one of the 40 or so shops I was sent in an email that said they pulled all the shops within 30 miles of my home. I shook my head at 30 miles to Palmdale and more to over half the... Continue Reading

If you love an orange & white striped roof...

Heads up, Ipshitz (on the Shopmetrics side) just dropped a ton of "you did your job, here's a reward/sorry, better luck next time" shops for the orange and white striped-roof burger chain...you know, the one that's open 24 hours, has a Dr. Pepper-flavored shake, and began in my great state...

Hi Everyone!

Who has shops with reimbursement for clothing, shoes or purses? Love them!... Continue Reading

New restaurants-Longhorn and Darden shops this upcoming weekend

First time I have ever seen Longhorn steakhouse; it's on the knee ligament MSC. Two person shop, one person has to get steak. Looks fairly easy, but a ton of timestamps required, ie. what time did you arrive, what time was your table ready, etc. I remember Darden around Christmas... Continue Reading

RED FLAG- HS Brands

Hi all, I wanted to summarize my experience with HS Brands. I want to first state that I did not take one of the requested photos, and I noted this in my survey after the shop. I was upfront and explained why that happened. I spent a considerable amount of time... Continue Reading

Extended Stay America

Although these shops have been up all year I haven't seen any reports about them. I did one last month as I needed a place to stay while on a trip where I was spending very little time in the room and would not have been able to do a... Continue Reading

$0 fee and $0 reimbursement

First time I've seen this. There's a shop posted by MarketForce in my area for "wireless retail" showing $0 fee and $0 reimbursement. And the shop is marked with the "hot" icon. Well, I don't want to get burned so I guess I won't touch it.... Continue Reading

Eddie V's - Cellar Sessions

This looks similar to The Capital Grille's Wagyu and Wine. The reimbursement is higher, though. The guidelines and reports look identical. For anyone who has done one, did you enjoy it? Pretty much the same?... Continue Reading

Wagyu&Wine

Has anyone done one of these? I don't believe the max. reimbursement comes close to covering the cost. The pairing of a burger and wine seems odd to me too. Have you done one and would you do another?... Continue Reading

McDonald's shops listed in Colorado

While looking for something else, I was poking around on a Shopmetrics software site and saw the "drop down" filter option for different clients. One was McD. So I went out 150+ miles to see where they were. Looks like quite a few places in Colorado only.... Continue Reading
