The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Scaredy cat - that's pretty much it...!! The only difference being that now you're not on probation, you're allowed to accept more than one assignment at a time...!
As for the casino jobs - I have never seen them on RE, but that's maybe because we don't have any casino's near me/???

Oh! I thought I'd see loads more jobs. I keep seeing stuff on the Alerts thread about new jobs on RE but when I look there are just the same old ones, so I thought they were talking about jobs I wouldn't be able to see until I was off probation.

Sometimes jobs only go up for one area, but the person doing the alert might not know that. Or someone could have already taken it. The best paid or nicest jobs tend to go in under 20 mins. If you just check RE a few times a day you might find jobs before the alerts go up, or the might not be anyone in your area doing alerts anyway.

I acceptd a job on RE last night and I went to set the date for today as thats the last day and it is asking me to call them. Obviously it's the weekend and I can't contact RE, though I did try on the off chance and also emailed. The last time I did a visit for the same contact at RE he just wanted to check I went to the right place.
Do you think that as I was going to go for something to eat tonight anyway that I should go there and fill in the paperwork and email it to him, then if it's ok he will have the paperwork for it.

OK I'm taking the plunge and going to start, as per the mention in the first post can some one PM me to refer me to RE so you get the refferal fee

Have sent you a PM, Sami!

I've forgotten the surrounding shops before now, but if you remember they're only asking that to check you actually visited the right location, you can provide some other evidence instead; for example, I've forgotten the shop next door, but remembered the shop next door but one, and that there was a bike rack just around the corner. That job was accepted without any trouble.

Can I ask a couple of questions please? I've done my first RE job and am now off probation! Woohoo! I expected to suddenly see loads more jobs available, but they are just the same as before. Does it take a while? Also, for things like casino jobs, do you still get to see these if you have put in your profile that you've never visited a casino before?

I don't know about casino jobs, but I see bookies quite regularly, when I've put in my profile that I've never been to a bookies.

I guess it depends on the profile the company being shopped is looking for—if they want regulars, they'll filter, if they want novices they'll filter the other way. I suspect most of the time they'll just give you the scenario and assume you're a good enough actor to pretend to be a novice when you're not, or vice versa.

the casinos get snapped up really quickly. the last time i saw them on re was about three weeks ago on a saturday afternoon - you had to go that evening.

Does anyone know what the "average" payment is for MS jobs?

Also how does it work for the bookies jobs if you get a big win? Do they let you keep it?
