Does this certification actually make more shops available through the MSC's we are already signed up with, or does it just make a person eligible to sign up with more MSC's?

I suppose I just want to know if it actually makes a difference.

Thanks smiling smiley

There are real mixed feelings about that. I never needed certification to sign up with any company. When I used to compare notes with a nearby shopper who was Gold Certified we were seeing the same shops and seemed to be awarded them with equal frequency. A friend mentions she is silver certified and her son is not--they see the same shops. As far as I am concerned the jury is not even out on the question, it makes no difference.

I obtained the silver certification several yrs. ago because it was inexpensive and could be taken at home. Over the yrs., I only know of a single instance where gold shoppers were given an advantage; it's with Quest For Best, who, at that time, sent shop opportunities first to the gold and remaining jobs were then made available to other folks. I used the past tense in the event this is no longer the process for Quest.
