The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

I had a very apologetic phone call from Gap today - from the very person that caught me in a bad mood on Friday asking me to do a 30 mile round trip to a corner shop other wise they would lose the whole contract!! Very grovelling!!

Can anyone pm me which hotel chain is on RE at the moment. It doesn't say in the alert thread?

When I looked it was a chain called Cl****c Inns (vintage car) You didn't get a fee, but the spending limit was £250. Look at their website for areas they cover. I know of some in Cleveland, Northumberland, Preston.

Hopefully they will change the date of the shop or I will have lost money today on a meal I did not need to do for two weeks.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Just spent ages doing a reprt for a sports shop, and then realised the fee is a pathetic £3.50! (Plus up to £10 worth of tat that i don't want). Why do i accept these rubbish assignments?
On the plus side, i got an easy fiver cos the electicity company didn't have a stand in the store they were supposed to, so i didn't have to do anything other than a one minute report ticking n/a all the way through! Lol

Was this sports shop done through RE by chance ?

I thought there would be more as I live in Liverpool but maybe I'm just missing them or maybe there is less in my area?

Hi egeorgm,

Have you signed up to TNS? They regularly have a big list of pub visits, supermarkets and DIY stores in Liverpool as well as hotels. I've not been doing so much MSing lately but we still get paid to go drinking once a month

I have done 4 jobs for RE this week, 3 have come back with queries. In the years I have done h jobs for them I have never had 3 over the last 3 years.

I am tempted to dump this sports one tomorrow, as I can't be arsed with all the messing about with them at the moment. I have a pub lunch and 2 supermarkets to fit in tomorrow, so am tempted to leave this alone and cancel it.
Unless I buy something for my son, may make it a bit worthwhile

the sports one with re - I did one last month and it said I couldnt take the item back. after I uploaded the receipt I noticed a hole in the top I bought so decided I wanted to take it back. I rang RE to tell them and they said I couldnt get a refund but they would allow an exchange!?! I have another one of these jobs next week and I dont want the tat - so are other people taking stuff back? if I can then I want to!

RE do 2 different sports shops - one gives a better reimbursement and fee than the other.
Personally RE are going way down on my list.
But thats whole other story
