Self-assign limit

I remember seeing some kind of assign limit to 2 or something when I joined (less than a month ago), but I was able to assign like 4 -6 gas station audit at a time, I was also assigned 2 gyms and 2 retail store assignment at the same time as well...So I really not sure what limit is that

I'm registered with over 10 companies and make about $2k a month including Field Inspection work. It helps if you live in/near a metropolitan area.

New to this hobby/business. Do you have any good recommendation for the companies?

Secret Shopper and 1099

Hi all


I am fairly new to this business and I have questions in regards to my tax filing


1) I read some thread saying that the 1099 is based on each MSP, by MSP I am assuming for the company who paid me such as Intouch Insight, 36-Ralay & Mystery Shopper Service right?


2) If I accept jobs from the same MSP via multiple different platform (ISS, their own SESSIE), would they group everything together by the end of the year?


3) Do all of MSP provide 1099 as long as I have transaction with them over certain amount?


4) If I am required to make purchase on some of the jobs, would I be able to write them off as business expenses?

Got deactivated by 360 Relay?

Hi


Not sure if anyone has experience with a company called 360 Relay. I did a couple of Planet Fitness shop via ISS for 360 Relay, and this morning I have received an notification that I am being deactivated by 360 Relay due to fraudulent shop. I contacted the rep right away, and they claimed that according to the footage shared by client, I refuse to take a tour because "I said that I am too busy", which isn't the case at all. I asked about the tour because the staff in front saying that he was the only one available in store and I even walked around the store, checking everything by myself. When I asked for the footage to confirm that it is me, the rep refused, and would not even tell me what appeal I was wearing in the footage. 


Is there anything I can do to fight in this case? I really feel like the MSC can just say whatever they want and we are screwed with no way to fight back....

There's couple things that is involved with the whole make a purchase and reimburse thing


For 1) If it is just regular purchase, reimburse and get paid for it, If does seems like I am going to be report everything as "income".


2) If my expense exceed the reimburse amount, it kind of go against me, althu I do feel like I should be able to write it off because it is a lost to me(I earn less from this project)


3) Lastly, let's say I did a project, got careless and didn't met the requirement and not getting paid....now that expense should definitely be able to be written off correct?


And yes, I always keep track of business mileage

Where are the shopping scout jobs?

I am seeing quite a few laying around the SGV area.... not sure which part of SoCal you are in but I guess no one wants to do them neither because they have been here over few months already

Missing shop payments

when did you do yours? it depends on the MSC but payment are usually paid every 2 weeks or month.


Also depends on which day it showed that it is deposited there could be 2 to 3 days in delay.


Double check your paypal address to make sure it's matching, if nothing shows up still, there's contact info right below each job that is marked paid.

Do you generally do 1 shop a day or more?

It really depends, i often plan and try to do more than 1 job per route. Sometimes it is no luck then I have no choice but to only do 1, if it is right on my way home...I also did plan a route that have like 7 jobs in a go before.
