NEW RECEIPT POLICY
As of February 1, 2009, in addition to uploading your receipt/business card to your shop form, please send a copy of your receipt, business card or other required shop verification document to your Account Manager's email address. If you are unsure of your Account Manager, please check your shop comments for this information. Faxed receipts will still be accepted as an emergency substitute. Faxes can be sent to 630-839-0780.


END OF MONTH SHOPS
Whenever possible, if your shop visit is on the last day of the month, please submit your report by midnight on your shopping day to avoid payment delays. Shops submitted on the first of the month may be counted in that month, rather than the month they were shopped.

CONSUMER WARNING

Please be advised of a new scam regarding cashier's checks. Packages are mailed to shoppers that appear to come from a legitimate mystery shopping company. Included in this package are "instructions" for completing the shop as well as a cashier's check. DO NOT proceed with this assignment! If you receive such a package, contact the mystery shopping company IMMEDIATELY.
