AAA on Presto

Why are there so many AAA jobs on Presto? This has me baffled.

i see them daily. Someone in china stole my PP email, so I'm working w/the gov't.. but, presto says you HAVE to use PP.
I'm guessing because nobody wants to take them?

I know I don't, at least not for the time being.

We'll see how desperate I get as summer goes on...

They don't seem to go away.. I've done two, and there are still pins in the same exact places. They only disappear from my map for a few days after I complete one of the shops.
What do you have to do for these shops?
Very easy jobs if you take them. Jump start your car. They use a battery pack and don't even check if the battery is dead.

Takes about 5 minutes once they arrive. Take pictures of the vehicle when they are hooking up the battery pack.

First shop pays over what a AAA membership costs for a year. Downside is you use up one of the yearly allowed real service calls.

Why I choose not to do them. With as much time as I spend on the road, I can't risk using a service call when my car doesn't need it.

The jobs are not really all over. I can take one in Columbia and be located in Charleston. Those pins are not really for that place, but rather for that state. If they only put a dot in the center of the state, distant folks may not click on it, not realizing it covers everywhere. It is just for the state. It might be there are ten jobs for the state. They cast a wide net across the state, so they can fill the jobs.

These are easy to do. We have newer cars, so we really do not use AAA that much. If we had older cars, so might not do the project.
I'd be all over these if they waived the service call from my account. Otherwise, I'm not trading a lifeline for $50.
Presto only allows you to do one shop every 3 months, so that you never use up all of your available free service calls. I still have 2 available for this year. And I'll most likely use one this month because there aren't many bonused shops to do at the beginning of the second quarter.
I think the reason so many are out there on the map has to do with some pin assigned to a region and the campaign is more of a national campaign than at a single address, so like the previous reply said, you can choose any one really. It seems to be a limitation of Presto where a user would think the map can only show single locations since mystery shops usually are for that, but when its a national campaign, the question is how do you represent that on the map? I think each pin maybe shows a zip code or some imaginart geo-center of a city.

I've seen this too with things like casino apps where you can be a member of a state, but you see the pins everywhere around the state. Same for some food or beverage delivery apps. I wish there was a way to filter out more than one keyword so the pins disappear and the map doesn't look so cluttered.
