I've had reports with problems sit in QC for multiple days. It's like they need to get approval to send through a negative report.

One time I saw a terror face on McD manager. He was scrambling to get the act together. Came out the cleaning crew. They know...

I was away for a couple of weeks and just noticed that this month's delivery shops are now $7, with no sign of an increased fee. Did they actually increase the base fee on those? They rarely offer bonuses, and never call to fill them.

Still just $5 in my area.

For this month or next? I noticed that next month's shops are posted at $5. But this months' are $7 with no notation of it being a changed fee. But I guess it is. Of course, they used to offer $10 when they bumped it.

And of course, we're back to the website bug where they don't sort shops correctly by date when the shops span two years.

That's the bonus. 2$. They started at 5$.

I got a $10 last month for a delivery shop. I think I'm the only shopper in the area.

Where are all the flakers? I miss the Monday morning 5g bonuses. Either they have weeded out the flakey shoppers or people are more desperate now and are doing the shops they sign up for. I loved monday's where shops started at $25 or more.

I finally decided to take the delivery shop for today since it was $10. I noticed that they no longer separate the food and delivery service reimbursements and only show $35. It used to be $20 food and $15 delivery. Does that mean that I can spend more on food if I can get free delivery (which I can with DoorDash, and even Uber Eats is cheap). Sadly, I don't have my usual 50% off a delivery order at UE.

Oddly, I was not seeing any in-person shops at this location, even though it's been more than a month since I did one. I had seen them earlier in the week. Either a glitch in their system or some idiots took them all.

I got a response back from them saying "Thank you for reaching out for further clarification. The total reimbursement is $35 for everything. " That makes it much easier to do the shop since with the 3rd party services, you aren't likely to spend $15 for delivery and tip, at least in my area.

MisterBill the delivery shops in my area are $35 reimbursement ant $10 pay.

Yes, they've been $35 reimbursement for a while. But they used to list the food and delivery reimbursements separately, capped at $20 and $15, respectively. Meaning that if you spent more than $20 on food but did not spend the full $15 for delivery, you could not use the extra to cover your food. Now you can because it's a combined limit. I ended up spending $21.50 for food, but only $31.38 including delivery and tip. In the old split limits, I would have been out of pocket $1.50 for the food. Now I'm not, and I even could have spent another $3 on food if I wanted. Not going over the reimbursement limit has often been an issue for the delivery shops.

And yes, the shop finally went up to $10. I gave it until the last day of the month to go higher but it did not.

I've seen delivery at $15 in Palm Springs area of CA (and not just in the summer)

I haven't signed up for one of these in almost a year. The fee doesn't go above $13 since then in my area.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Wow, I just did my first in-person shop in a while and they've changed the form a bunch. They now ask for the ticket that is taped to the bag in addition to the receipt. Also, no more cashier description required. They ask about salt and Cajun spice level (too much, too light, just right), but don't say what is too much in terms of Cajun spice. Mine were nice and spicy today, seasoning ended up on my fingers, but I like it that way.

I got a friend involved in this last week and he took two at $13. Then he was overjoyed when they called and offered him another at $18. For those in the Chicago suburbs area whose jobs he is taking, sorry.

I'm not in Chicago...but most people would be happy with a nearly free 5g meal and getting $10 in addition. The rest of us like the $20 and higher fees. When your friend gets worn out on the food, they might hold out for more, but in the beginning, it's a honeymoon phase for them right now

Yeah, I told him to hold out and see which of the others go above $13. He also did two o the same company's new shops of a warehouse club where you have to check on people offering samples. Those were $10, and he was thrilled to get them. I remember when another company did those and banned me for a reason I still do not understand. And he's doing a pizza shop for another company tomorrow for $10, but those generally don't get bonused.
