Anybody know if it is possible to get back on board with this co. after being removed (I can't even remember why that happened). I had heard it was probably lifetime but it has been about 10 years now I think. LOL.
i was booted for a short while. it depends on your area. just reapply or contact someone there.

I got reinstated after a couple of years.

I did move states, so maybe it was because they needed shoppers where I moved to? It doesn't hurt to ask them.
I was banned permanently from all shops in about 2012, and they refused to tell me why. About 5 years ago, I wrote and asked nicely for a pardon. I was, to my surprise, reinstated.

I was banned several years ago, but I didn't realize that was what was keeping me from being able to log in; I just thought it was because I'd been away from MSing and hadn't accessed the site in a couple of years. When I sent an email saying I couldn't log on, they said they'd given me the boot but would reinstate me that one time. Whether they allow you back may depend on why you were banned to begin with.

Samantha left my area a long time ago. I think a group of hungry shoppers got together and ate her.

It's the Market Force automated system for offering shops. You'll get an email from "Samantha" with a shop, dates available and a fee offer. If you want it, you reply to the email with the dates you can do the shop. They may or may not give it to you, depending on how many respond.

They definitely ate her at a few of my locations, but Samantha survived to drop three nice 50-spots on me at another recently. At first I thought it was a mistake because of rotation, but I emailed the help desk and they confirmed, saying they waived the rotation because they were "behind" at this location. smiling smiley

50 spots..wow..what locations offer that kind of dough..best I have gotten out of them for a burger shop was 35
I haven't received a Samantha offer since last summer.

Earlier this month I happened to be checking the job board, (which I don't do nearly as much as I used to) and lo and behold there was a regular inside burger lunch at a location I sometimes do for between $20-$25. It was listed at $40 plus reimbursement. I did it the same day. That was $5 more than the one I got from the Ga scheduler phone call for a late night shop. It must have been a flaked or rejected shop. Highly unusual to see that high of a fee around here.

This was a record for me, believe me. The highest I'd ever gotten previously was $40, and that was only once.

Darn, not it my area (southern Mass/RI). And no option for "make an offer" either lately. Compensation amounts creep up slowly and jobs go unfilled, and just fall off. Oh and somebody keeps grabbing the Johnston, RI and North Prov, RI, locations at close to the start pay! My two favorite locations as closest to my home!
I joined this board when Samantha banned me for life. She claimed I turned in a report with the incorrect associate's name so I could never work for them again. I contacted them and got so many inconsistencies and contradictory stories. It's been ten years, but I have no need for Samantha's $8 shops.
I think you are talking about a different Samantha. Sounds like your Samantha is a human. This one is an automated scheduler.

Couldn't hurt to call them. From what I can tell they went through a major change in management when some of their clients went belly-up and they new folks seem to far more amenable.
yeah it was a surprise for me. i thought they discontinued it or what not. it was a nice $30 one plus reimbursement. they send out regular emails when they have shops open and i take them at $18. but not before then. i used to wait until $20. but i moved really close to one in the past year and a half.

Usually I got them for a Fast, Casual restaurant. The offer was a $1 more. I get them through the Make Offer button for $2 more.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

The burger shops have been accepted below $15 fee in the Indianapolis area. Got my first one in a few months this weekend. $20.

They are getting accepted here at $13 and never get to MAO anymore. I haven't done one in months. I think the last one I did was a last minute flake that was listed at $25 with no MAO button on it.
I was booted in 2007 for a late report. Just got reinstated with a simple email to their support address.
