I have already started using the NC strategy, and have seen the benefit. There was a 3 day that popped up with a report 1:30 into my SC window. I have no doubt they would have assigned me that trip if they could have, and hope I get there in 1:30. Because I exercised the NC clause, they cut up the trip and GS'd the first part of it, I didn't get any more calls on that SC or my SC the next day.

To say that there is no benefit means that you just don't understand how it works. For the whopping price of one phone call and setting a reminder to look at iCrew, I wound up getting two hours of pay and three days with my family that I wouldn't have otherwise. That being said, it is totally valid if you are the type of person who still just doesn't want to go to the effort for that, and I totally respect that. You just can't say that there isn't benefit, only that the benefit isn't personally worth it for you, and that's fine. I guess it probably benefits me if fewer people do it, ha!
