I know the TNS supermarket job, I got 3 a few weeks ago and wont be doing them again but the little supermarket jobs are much easier with them.

I still have one booked with RE Would like it if they swapped to GFK tho

I think the pineapple affects the pizza timings somehow, thats what Timmne said when I queried it before (altho I think he was taking an educated guess too )

To clarify, my 'Mobiles offered to the second person singular' was cancelled 'at the request of the client' and it then appeared on GfK a couple of days later for more money and that's all I know... The 'Oxygen Phones' are fine.

Is it me or does anything else think the fee for GR bank jobs isn't that great - just comparing it to GFK really. Kinda wish I hadn't taken the job now I've seen the questionnaire......

Did one of these last week and thought it was easy. The questionnaire was really simple mainly yes or no and hardly any writing. Doing another today. did a supermarket for TNS with lots of questions and was in there for abot 50 mins for not much more fee.

Thats good to know. Perhaps it won't be as bad then I agree the supermarket jobs take ages.......I love the quick ones but the normal ones are ridiculous. You feel a right twit going to every department. Might as well wander round with a sign on your head :rotfl:

Wondered if anyone can offer any advice on Amber Arch as to how they operate?

Had an email from one of the allocators on Fri (new member) with a list of shops and asked to email for more info.

Did so and had an email back with a 'job spec', however this didn't mention the fee for the assignment and although most seem to require that the purchased merchandise is returned to Amber Arch doesn't clarify if the postage is refunded or not?

The fee for the job was listed on the spreadsheet thingy (left hand side) on the list of jobs available.

Don't know about the rest cos I am a new member, too and still waiting for confirmation if I have been allocated any of the jobs I applied for.

Does anyone do visits for Everards?
I know it's much more casual in that the T&C's are very simple and they give you a voucher instead of reimbursing your spend and/or paying a fee, but I wondered if anyone had any experience of what they dictate you buy and what their questionnaire is like.

10/10 to OC for paying in the Fee & Flight costs exactly a week after doing the job!!:T :T

This time last week I was just on my way back to the airport in Paris, after a great day's shopping! Someone did drop a heavy suitcase on my foot though, so fractured my little toe! I don't know, the things you have to go through Mystery Shopping....! :eek: Luckily it's healing quickly.

I'm still awaiting payment from Bare though, & that flight was back on 18th July - I know it's on it's way, & should be in tomorrow, but even though that was just a Domestic Flight, it's still a couple of hundred pounds I'm due for the flight costs.

I've got another one next week to Berlin with another MS company, who at least pay fairly quickly going by previous jobs with them.

Hi everyone, I've just become a mystery shopper and completed my first assignment for RE at the weekend

Just thought I'd say hello and ask- How often do you all check respective websites to see if there's assignments? I feel like I'm constantly checking, for nothing...
