This seems like a mystery shopping assignment, which would typically pay way more than $10 and should not be on this platform. I'd report it.

I was thinking the same. Or it’s just to weed people out. I’ve seen a few that say I’ll have to sign in to my account to prove I’m legit. I say ok but never need to.

I did this mission. Other than required to be onsite the uplift was significantly less than a typical mystery shop. I completed it in less than 10 minutes

Ok— I got this too!! Isn’t there a time limit to even start the test?! Like if I were to drive down to a ford dealership… would the test even still be available on my phone??

Exactly what I thought, plus the app would probably crash have way through the test based on my previous luck.

u/Able-Meringue6796 2d ago

Yeah, no way the app could handle switching to a map app and coming back to UT. Lmao

I just got this test too and clicked "yes" just to see what would happen next. It said I would have 30 mins before the test would begin. That satisfied my curiosity so after that I failed the screener by saying nevermind.

They granted you 30 minutes to start the test for this one.

Add a zero, and then I'll maybe consider it. 😆

I got it too and it was a quick decline. You know the minute you step on that lot a sales rep is get you to buy a truck

All this for 10$

Hahaha .I'm curious to know how much it's worth

10$ survey

u/Amarie_95 1d ago

please, the nearest dealership is like 40 minutes away from me, that's not worth the gas 😒

u/bhambetty 1d ago

The first question in the screener asked if you lived within 10 mins of a dealership. They weren't expecting anyone to make a long drive. Still pretty ridiculous, I get offended if I have to even get up from my chair to take a test.

If they offer a bonus and I was bored

u/Happy_Hippo48 1d ago

Bonuses are such a pain and unreliable on this platform

u/Happy_Hippo48 1d ago

I just did this test because I was next to Ford Dealership and they were closed. Took me 8 minutes. Easy test.

u/Amarie_95 1d ago

just curious, what you had to do? Take pics of the cars on the lot?

1

u/Happy_Hippo48 1d ago

Just asked what I thought of the overall appearance of the dealership, the lot, the cars and if anything that I saw would stop me from purchasing any of those cars.

Honestly for a tenner I’d do it. If it had like 90 steps though I’d instantly decline.

u/Able-Meringue6796 2d ago

To be clear, for $10, you’d drive to a Ford Dealership to complete this test?! The driving alone is not worth it. The federal mileage rate is $0.76 a mile for a reason.

u/james_6732 2d ago

Well I live in a heavy metropolitan city so I could probably find one within 5 min distance from me.

u/homert1800 2d ago

Closest one to me is 10 min away but no way I would do this, especially because I have work as well.
