Hi there!

I am a newbie and hoping you can answer a few questions:

I signed up for some jobs but it is still saying, "pending." How and where do I find out if I was accepted? Via my peronal email I used or here on this site?

Also, when do I receive the "directions" of the job?

I appreciate any help.

Hi Rebecca,

When a requested job is assigned to you, you will likely receive an email and an app notification. Once it has been assigned, that's when the survey, pertinent attachments, and detailed shop instructions become available to you.

Sometimes I don't look carefully at the payment/reimbursement offered, and only realize afterward that advantage has been taken of me. I have been disappointed to find that, on occasion, the flat fee for the shop cannot cover the expense of the purchase, let alone the cost of getting to and returning from the shop site. I suggest that you look carefully at this, better than I sometimes do. If a merchant is not offering a reasonable amount for hte shop, DON'T TAKE IT, and perhaps they will have to up the pay to get takers. Now, if you are so hungry and so broke that it is worth it to get reimbursed, or mostly reimbursed for a meal, for which you have to spend time to review the instructions, time to do the shop, and time to complete the report, I can't criticize that you need this.

PS I once complained about this, that the minimum order, which required a beverage, could not be less than the reimbursement. I was told that I could have ordered water, and come in under the reimbursement. I never did another shop for that company!

Once you submit a shop how soon after should it be reviewed? I know payment is 30 to 45 days but I have submitted 3 and they haven't been reviewed and is been a couple weeks is that normal? They are my first shops that I have ever done
