Same Shop listed twice with different MSCs

January 13, 2025 05:19PM
I'm guessing this can't be done, but lets say I see a task for a restaurant. The task is listed in the Presto app and its offered twice by two different MSCs. Am I lucky to be able to accept the shop from both MSCs and then do the survey twice for double task payment? My gut says no, but I wasn't sure if this was a loophole that can happen sometimes.

In this scenario, its a restaurant shop and I see two different Sassie companies offering task payments - each with $10 for completion and $30 reimbursement.

if i had to guess....sounds like BWW bar audit. One is a scheduling company (acculocity) and not an MSC. Maybe i'm wrong, but you did not name the client or the MSCs

Post deleted for forum violation of naming the MSC when Client is named in the thread. An actual MSC was named in addition to naming the KSS scheduling service. Feel free to remove the violation and re-post.

KSS is a SCHEDULING company. they are not an MSC. You can do double the work if you want, but you only get paid 1 time :-P

Scottie, listen to your gut. I would guess that over the yrs., I have completed 50 of those shops. There is a small amount of narrative involved, BUT, predicated upon your posts, you should not have any problems with the report. Do remember, though, unless there has been a very recent change, you MUST pay with cash.

Double and even triple dips are occasionally possible. Such work has the ability to radically affect one's profits.

If it is on KSS, it is likely the same shop. Meaning they schedule for the MSC. Once one assigns it, it will no longer be available at the other.

We are a scheduling company. Shops are never assigned or completed on the KSS site, and payment would never come from us either. We post shops on our site mainly to recruit shoppers that are registered with us, but not registered with our client. If you happen to be registered with both of us, you will see the shop twice on Presto, etc.
