ATH Power, bank shops

May 06, 2011 09:04PM
Key with Ath Power is consistency. Since I've done 4-6 per month, I get a check every month. So it never matters to me. Work consistently and they pay on time every month. Don't like the limits for number of shops per day, but it is what it is.

George:

I have not known ATH to give any citations. They pay slow but are nice to work with. If you do the job properly, they do not contact you.

I never heard of them canceling shops, without a reason.

I've done dozens upon dozens of bank shops for ATH, and have nothing but good things to say (aside from the fact that their payment terms are very long). Schedulers are very flexible, there are bonuses to be had and forms are not that intense.

They do have long payment terms, but are on time. Part of the game we play.

I am doing the Chase Banks for a great MSC (pays more), and just got an email from yet another saying they have Chase Banks available, both the easy 10 minute ones, paying less than the one I'm doing them for. I think many MSC do change around, not unusual.

Live consciously....

I've done bank shops for Ath for a while and I am always paid within 5-7 weeks. The bank shops are easy to do. I think they are somewhat difficult to communicate with and don't always reply to my emails in a timely manner. They seem to have improved in that area. I often get emails pleading for shoppers, with a list of bank locations needing to be done. They have bonused shops when I have taken a string of banks, but it depends if they have many shoppers or not in a particular area.

Welcome, lesleynu! Spending time reading different sections of the forum, you will see shoppers have varied recommendations. A good place to start is with Corporate Research International, Bare, and MarketForce, who have shops nationwide.

What about the green banks? Does Ath still shop that client?

great!I will check it out! thanks for the tips. Does anyone really make a part time living off of mystery shops? If so, what's the best way to do that?

Does anyone know of a reason not to get a Chase shop if you have an account with them? I even had a scheduler email and say she does not know why I am not on the list. Just wondering, would love to try one.
