You may only be able to self assign 2 at the moment but you can request more. Try self assigning the two you want most and request the rest. If the scheduler feels comfortable with you and doesn't have a more experienced shopper you might just get them. I'm not sure exactly how the ranking system works but the more shops you do the sooner you will be able to self assign more shops.
Thank you for your suggestions. I have been using Google Maps but I find that with only 10 destinations allowed at a time I spend a lot of time sorting out the order of shops to do. I did find this one and simulated a trip. You can paste in the addresses and it will do up to 25. Not as many as I would like but it is free so I'll give it a try.
Hi Ivan
I just contacted my MSP regarding Price Audit badges and this is the response I got:
Anything with iss promotions, limits, badges, rewards all go through iss
I ran into the same problem with several price audit shops. The MSP says it is all up to ISS but a few months ago there were threads saying it was up to the MSP.
Thanks Ivan. I've done all that. ISS said that the MSP was responsible as it was for price audit badges. The audits are done at gas stations so they are giving gas station badges and the scheduler did not seem to know it was in their setup process. They seemed annoyed by the question so I didn't pursue it.
Ivan is right - I had the same problem and downloaded the newest version and that fixed it.
Another reason for getting the error is if you are loading it through a browser instead of directly through the ISS app. I was getting to the app through a Chrome bookmark for the first while and Chrome was blocking the location. I downloaded the app directly onto my phone with an icon on the home page and that fixed it.
I do a lot of convenience stores and gas stations and my badge is now at 5. I just finished another 30 or so which have been approved and affected my reputation score but there has been no movement on my gas stations badge (or any other).
Thanks for all the info Ivan. You are a great resource. I was also wondering about something else. I read somewhere that if you re-schedule shops it affects your ranking. Quite often I am able to get shops done before my original schedule date. By re-scheduling, does that negatively affect my scoring?
