There are rotation requirements; only the ones you qualify for will show up on your page. They go fast since they are self-assigned shops.

Presumably you will be skipping the carbs and asking for extra salad.

Yeah, I never thought about turning my notification back on. I live in a very busy area halfway between the city and the airport, so it probably just gets taken quickly. Thanks, I turned it back on again. Hopefully, I get one.

I shopped Outback a couple of weeks ago. It was reimbursement only, offered by one of the Sassie companies, but it was not a dine-in shop.

I shopped them last month for a self-assign company - reimbursement only. It was an easy form.

I see the one that is an hour away from me posted every month. The one that is 10 minutes away I have never seen posted.
I'm not sure why that is... or perhaps I'm just not catching it in time...

I do at least one location a month, sometimes two.

The forms are easy, but painstakingly slow for me to fill out. This is the only report I do where you're required to support ALL answers - yes and no!

I'm constantly having to flip pages back and forth to make sure I hit every question in my narrative. Very easy, but slow-going!

I'm not complaining though - I get my steak fix every month!!!

Ok, I may be slow, but speaking about changing your profile to check the box to get emails. Are we talking about at the volotion site? If so, where is the box, when I edit my profile, there is no box?

I'm confused?

The box in question is found on the MSC's "Account Profile" tab. (the MSC being the one that offers Outback)

Either they are not shopped here, or or some reason I don't qualify to view them, as I have NEVER seen them for HI. Bummer, either way. I wouldn't mind doing that one! :-)

I thought I was signed up with every sassie company. I also have my email notification turned on with every company. I have never seen an offer. Are they scheduled by the actual MSC or by a scheduling company?

Thanks, Tina. I'll try that. The closest Outback is just a short walk from my house. I'd love to shop it.

Ditto what Alex Said. There are four within my "30 mile limit" that I would be happy to shop.

Any info emailed to me would be greatly appreciated.

Sooo, hahahaha on me...I was on the website in question tonight filling in a shop, a decided to look at the shops available. I see one in a city about 45 minutes away, but its all mysterious, not saying much. I decide to look. I do the mini questionnaire, and still have *no clue* where I would be going or what I would be doing. I click okay, and it turns out I would be going to OB! But, it only reimburses 10 bucks for a meal, and 10 for a gift card purchase, and it really is about gift cards, not steak or service. I grabbed it because we could take the kid and get steak at a slight subsidy, but is this is shop y'all have been talking about here? Or is it a real restaurant shop for them?
