Hi there!

I have been unsuccesful in my application for The Mystery Dining Company - anyone else had the same response. Am a bit perplexed as to why as they have given no reason.:confused:

[Many thanks for completing our online application form. Unfortunately, you have not been successful and we won't be able to offer you a place on our panel of diners.]

    Hi fairyprincess. I got the same reply from them quite a number of months ago. I must say I was surprisedas I have been mystery shopping for about 8 years, so know what to look for, but perhaps thats not what they are after - perhaps they are looking for fresh eyes? Could that be the same with you?
    Feel free to thank me, it makes my toes tingle and my ears go warm :T

    I got accepted. I think it may just be due to demand in different areas.

    I got rejected the other day - turns out they are only looking for elderly people, or people who dine with children frequently (I emailed to ask why I had been rejected!)

    I got accepted 6 weeks ago and have done 3 dines since then.

    Amazing how much better the food tastes when you are not paying for it!

    I've applied...presumably as you don't actually get paid for this, only expenses of the meal reimbursed, you don't have to declare it to the IR?
