The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

ThinkingOfLinking

Incidentally, I saw the American underground sandwiches on RE and have done them before (there's not really manyof them at the moment) but on the MS Alerts thread, someone says GAP are doing them? I've not known of 2 companies doing the same client at the same time....

And does anyone know if RE still does the regal burgers? I did one of those a few months back and would love another!!

I have a little problem. I was organising my MS diary and I've just discovered that I have to visit the same phone shop two days in a row for two different companies. I could change one of the days and do both visits at the same time, has anyone ever done this, is it possible? It would obviously depend on the briefing notes, if the scenarios are too different, what are the chances of me visiting twice in two days and not looking obvious?

Hi

I remember reading a post a while back but can’t remember who wrote it about cancelling the travel insurance for the 3 day single trip ms job and getting a refund. Has anyone done this?

I have done this but changed them to the same day so it ment I did them together and it did not look too obvious.

It has happened before where two companies do the same client.

The Regal burgers used to be done by GAP. Then they stopped and (apparently) did their MS in house.

I haven't seen any on RE (but I don't really look for them.)

Hi red fox,
I've cancelled the 3-day travel insurance and had no problems. I took a photo of the receipt just in case it was queried at some point by the MS company (which it wasn't), then took back the insurance documents and the receipt, told them my trip had been cancelled and got a full refund. Easy peasy! :-)

I did it once for RE, and I had to reveal myself as an MS at the end and award a certificate for a gift voucher. I know the other fast food chains are on GAP but I don't reall like them anyway.

I am doing one of those jobs, it says spend limit £9.75 and assignment fee is £5 so you can spend up to £9.75 and they will reimburse you what you spend up to that amount; you can spend more but you're responsible for that. They will give you an additional £5 as your reward for doing the assignment and submitting the report. HTH.

ahh so whatever happens if i spend up to that amount i will benefit £5 not bad
