Hi Angel, welcome to the Forum, and good luck on your first secret shop!
Hi Angela,
The Available Shops page and the Web & Phone Shops page on iSecretShop will display all the shops you can perform via iSecretShop.
There are numerous MSPs that operate outside of the iSecretShop system, but since they don't offer the same benefits of operating on this platform, and since this Forum is created by iSecretShop specifically for iSecretShop shoppers, you would have to look for information about them elsewhere. I suggest checking out other mystery shopping forums in that case, as there tends to be more information on external sources/providers there.
Cheers!
Hi Michele,
The badge is awarded once the shop has been approved by the editors, which can indeed take a day or two (or more) to happen.
Bonjour,
Chaque affectation approuvée accorde le même nombre de points, soit 20. L'hebdomadaire Leader-Board affiche le nombre de points recueillis par 5 clients les plus réussis au cours de la semaine précédente.
Hi Michelle,
This is due to the fact that every shop can only grant one specialty badge, so for example, a price audit at a Gas Station might be categorized the "Gas Station/C-Store" specialty, and give that badge, not the "Price Audit" one - it all depends on how the MSP categorizes their shop. They can set their shop's specialty to any of their choosing, but they usually try to be "narrow" and specific about their badges categories, so as price audit shops are a bit more generic than shops at gas stations, categorizing in such a way is not uncommon.
There is also a limited amount of pre-defined badge types, so the shops need to be categorized into those badges. New badges are being added in time, but there isn't an unlimited number of them.
Cheers!
Hi Bern,
When you are redirected from the Available Shops page to another page to perform something first (like signing the iSS TOU, or the MSP's IC agreement, or entering some specific info on your Extended profile), you need to return to the Available Shops page to request the shop - if the first shop was not there when you returned to the Available Shops page to request it, it means that it was likely picked up by another shopper, or cancelled by the MSP.
Cheers!
