Self Assign Shops

I know this has been discussed quite a bit on this forum but I really wish every MSC would offer the self assign option. I understand for newer shoppers if they have to have a trial period to ensure they are trustworthy. I'm sure some of you have experienced this..maybe your plans get cancelled or you have some time to burn on that specific day but rest of week/ month is booked where you cant shop so you look to see if you can squeeze some shops in but know with certain mscs this shop may not be approved for you to do until a couple of days from now so you dont bother..whats even more frustrating is when shops you probably could have squeezed in on that specific day if self assign option was available just sit and sit and sit.

Just wanted to add; I dont mind it not being an option when the scheduler is quick to respond so not including them..ie I can send a quick message and say I can squeeze this shop in today, I'm in the area for the next 2 hours..let me know if you want me to shop it and get a quick reply

More About Self-Assign Mystery Shopping

Yes, we all wish all shops were self-assign, but that's just not the way it's done with some companies.

I only do self-assign shops. I thought that was the norm. There is a whole 'nother world to this I guess.

totally agreed. It also stinks when I realize I am already going to be in an area right next to a shop but I cant self assign it and if I apply for it the normal way it might not be accepted until after my trip to the area

I actually cannot afford to self assign. The nearest shops to me are 45 miles away, so I must ask schedulers for travel.

Unless the shop is already bonused enough to make it worthwhile -- and that is so rare, it's not statistically relevant!

A large percentage of the shops available to self-assign are at low fees.

I would say that only about 5% of my shops are self assigned because the pay is too low on the board.
