Bit puzzled... just applied for one of those self-assign phone calls on Bare. When I applied it said you could only do 2... then when I took one, it wouldn't allow me to take any more and said I do not qualify for self-assign status. Any idea why?

I just got that too Scaredy Cat but went and looked at the shoppers comments and found this -

You can self assign a maximum of 1 shop. If you are to perform more than one shop it is VERY important that you perform these with at least 4 business days in between, this is in order to minimize the risk of you blowing your cover as mystery shopper

Normally this happens when the shopping dates have passed and they haven't added new dates yet. You could note the assignment number and email and let them know you could do them and they may assign them to you. I know I have done this in the past.

Thanks Tizzy, I wonder if it's because the due date is too close to allow for the 4 days in between? I noticed most of them were due tomorrow and the one I picked up was due today! Luckily I managed to do it just before the call centre closed at 6pm!
