Why so few emails and bonuses at the end of July for me?

July 28, 2013 07:50PM
I am fairly new to shopping.

At the end of last month I had a flurry of emails offering bonuses and had a great last week of the month. This month -- few emails and no bonuses.

Any insight as to WHY?

I was hoping for a gangbuster end of July but it doesn't look as if it will happen . . .

Could it be because I had so many shops the last week of June that I turned in a few reports as much as twelve hours late. None of my reports were rejected and I had no emails asking for clarifications. So my reports were good.

Would that alone scare away the emails???

June was not only the end of the month, it was also the end of the quarter which tends to be busier than a normal EOM. If you are not registered with very many companies, you may also be out of rotation for a lot of shops this month. The more companies you register with, the more opportunities you will have.

exactly what lisa said. End of June was also end of quarter. Next time that happens is September.

I just got a phone call yesterday offering a $50 fee plus reimbursement for 2 meals for a lunch shop that normally pays $7.50. They are totally desperate and I am loving it!!!

Also rotations could be an issue. Some shops enforce rotations from a couple of months to a year.

Nice! In my part of the world, those shops are offering nowhere near the typical bonuses. They were up to $12-15 on Friday but got kicked back down to $10 across the board on Saturday. Apparently they are not so totally desperate around these parts.

No desperation here, most lunches 10.00 reimbursement only.....I've gotta love the restaurant or I eat at home,
or my favorite El Pollo Loco with a 5.00 lunch coupon counting drink....comes out weekly.

Live consciously....
