The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Dead for me too. Is this the start of the recession hitting MSing? I've only got £5 jobs available which would cost more in petrol to get there. I've only got 8 jobs showing on RE. Nothing on GfK, GAP - none in my area. BARE - none in my area. TNS - none in my area. Nothing on GR. TERN - none in my area. Boo hoo.

Same here. Not sure if I'm registered with Tern, might have to check that. But all the others are the same,nothing in my area. RE have a few but they are not close enough for it to be worthwhile.

Hi all. Have started reading this thread recently and really want to start to do MS'ing...but am a bit scared and I have to get a printer/scanner as well. Just wanted to introduce myself.

Hi from me as well. Nothing to be scared of. Just let us know on here when you get your 1st job and we will overwhelm you with advice. Remember we have all been there.:beer:

I have a theory that RE have a load of rubbish jobs they need to offload so are waiting until people accept them all thinking there is nothing out there, then the juicy jobs will be released.

Would welcome a comment from one of you Gappites. As you all know I was the one the christened them Gyp.

I did one job last year got mucked around and didn;t get paid.

Thought I would give them another chance recently and did a phone in pizza. Nearly died when it cost £17 then checked on the site and the reimbursement was £12. So sod them. I wont be doing any more work for them The pizza was crap too!!!.

Notice posters saying tonight they had been paid. Is there a way I can check on their site what and when they pay as I have received SOD ALL.

I am highly tempted to use their contact us button and tell them I will take them to the cleaners, report them to the police for fraud or something. Threaten them with anything I can think of us.

Does anyone else have experience of getting money out of them when they don't pay up like this. I shrugged it off last time but I sure as hell ain't letting them away with it this time.

They pay at the end of the month after the month in which you did the work. So if you worked in Dec you should get paid at the end of this month.

If they haven't paid you, email them! They have screwed up my pay a few times, but always paid up in the end.

I did it beginning of December and posters are saying Gap have paid out January pay. I do laugh when I get emails saying Dear ***** We have some super restaurant assignments in your area. Well maybe I am fussy but I dont call a hamburger etc a restaurant.

Well everythings gone in my area, so they best get releasing the new ubergood jobs then :rotfl:

In the meantime I'll keep arguing with the site while I try to upload my latest report - wonder if its slow because of all the great jobs theyre inputting but not letting us see yet.

I did a couple of jobs for RE yesterday, submitted my reports, but for some reason they are neither pending or allocated for payment?

Should I not receive a call if they aren't acceptable?
