The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Ah, I did wonder if it might be that one. China has it, in its title as in the People's .......

Not really my sort of place, being an old codger! :rotfl:

It's a young and trendy fashion chain.

There's no fee and there is hardly anything on the website for less than the reimbursement fee. IMO it's not worth doing unless you were planning on buying something from there anyway.

There is something in there I want for just under the limit, thankfully.

Have RE just given up paying fees altogether?

I for one would not accept an assignment with no fee, what do they take us for?

I have only been doing this a month, but I find that just pure cheeky tbh!

Anyone else feel RE are taking the michael?

it's not too bad to do a job with no fee as it will reduce your tax liability and if you go to that particular shop anyway you get some money off

it's not much use to me at the moment as i want the fees to save up towards my wedding!

Hi all, found this thread via a recommendation on another one I'd started, and was wondering if mystery shopping was something suitable for a new(ish) mum (my wife) with a 7-month old. She hasn't gone back to work and won't do until the summer, but is starting to get a bit bored stuck at home all day. Is MS'ng something that can work with a baby? Is it flexible enough to work around naps/feeds/mother & baby groups etc? From reading some of this thread it looks as though it might be a bit of fun to get out of the house occasionally (and I guess the other question is how often would the assignments be?).

I do not seem to see any of those "Alerts" from RE. No snail or spanish food etc. Since the new year RE has been dead with only sandwich shops in London appearing all the time. :-((

Yes, it can be very flexible, from ordering pizza delivery (via Gapbuster mystery shopping) to drive through fast food (also Gapbuster), clothes shops (Bare and Retail Eyes) and a bit of everything else in between.

I am miffed I cannot see Spanish and Snail assignments on RE as I have seen and done both previously.

Same here, no sign at all, unless they are putting them on in groups of areas?

I can't see anything either. Have just taken a political fashion shop though as it's hubby's birthday soon so I can get him something from there.
