I noticed last year when they were having a glut of tax shops, their other shops died down a little. I would think it is a lot of work for them during this season.
From the growing masses of them showing up in my area, it would appear they are having trouble getting anyone to take them. Of course the fee is lower this year and interestingly the amount of refund required ranges pretty broadly.
I thought I had missed out. I usually get there heavily bonused shops. I've only done 3 shops for Feb. One today bonused to $25. I went looking again today and not much.
I have noticed that everyone is going to have a slow March. Last month at this time I had 57 shops scheduled. Right now I have 19 for March- even my merchandising jobs are down to 8 for March so far. I think of the 19, 7 are for MF- but I'm also cutting out some of my FF shops with them. Hoping it will pick up next week!

I prefer purple side, last week I had to call regarding a shop I was going to need an extra day on and I asked the person on the phone if I was missing out on the shops in my area or are they just slow. She said they have just been slow
I hardly ever look at the CFA side anymorem all the shops pay way to low.
I pretty much just do one shop for them. The same restaurant. Over and over and over. That shop doesn't pay good either, but I like the food there, so I do it more for that.
I expanded my radius and lots more showed up last month. This month is just dead. Somebody even took all the ft shops. I only took 3 really close to home. Grandkids don't have to go cold Turkey. Lol

I have been having the same issue with Marketforce, and I don't think I've seen any new jobs show up in several weeks. I agreed to do a shop for them yesterday that was a little bit of a drive but they heavily bonused it to get it done before March. So I find it a bit funny that they are running their little promotion of giving money to the top shoppers until March 11 when there are no jobs to taken.

It is hard to find the jobs in the mass of leftovers. I usually click on the column to the left to arrange them by shop type and then I can scoot past all of the "B" shops to the "F" shops I am looking for and then go check some of the "R" shops. I did pick up 3 new ones yesterday.
It was very interesting a week or so ago when they offered bonuses of gift cards to people who completed jobs before the 28th of Feb but there were no jobs! I am in the Gulf Coast area of Texas. All they seem to have are hundreds of tax jobs. I am not going over my income information with anyone plus I don't expect a refund.
I like Market Force. They are real. You do the shops and you get paid. I guess I get about $400 up with them. Have some cash with you on many shops. Debit and credit cards won't work on some, I always keep about $ 50 cash in my car,
My last check from them was right under $500
If you can't spend $ 10 - $ 30 per day. you might want to look elsewhere.
Your money WILL come back in your check or direct deposit.
I am doing 3 shops for MF on Friday. You need to be at your computer all day to catch them for the same day. Yes, they are slow this month. Like another person said you need to change your mileage and zip code to get the best jobs. I play around with it and a shop that does not come on one city will come in the other. I am doing the same shops every onth. I am getting tired of burgers

Yes. And today, I saw new shops for March and the burger joints went down by $1 across the board, ugh.
No decrease in prices here. Regardless of noodling with mileage or zips, fewer shops are available to me since auto assign. I didn't choose auto assign, which could explain it. Unless I've missed it, neither have I read posts of success from those who did.

I see all 3 consistently and the most common one and the carhop are both down by a $1. The higher-end one is location-dependent.
