Not sure where you are, but someone mentioned jewelery jobs in S Yorks on the alerts thread, but it's actually for a couple of pawn shops and you have to take something in to pawn - so just make sure you read the brief fully, as it might not be just a straightfoward jewelery shop.

Ive seen these, they are jewellery shops not pawn, i read the terms and didnt say pawn.:)

GFK have accepted me to the panel, just done my training and questionnaire and now awaiting approval - yay!

Gap (spit in the corner) used to do audits for the green petrol chain. I did one with a £40 odd fee once.

I have now received confirmation that they will pay me my outstanding fees after my removal from their shopper list. They use the excuse that they need to rotate their list to get the best for their clients.

I would treat them with caution, I was out doing a petrol job while they were e-mailing me to sack me!

Cheers Paul

I have made quite a bit of money from ms in the last few months and like cherry pie i am hammering it whenever i can.

i try to pick up jobs which fit in around my life and do take the odd few which take me out of my way but only for good fees or something i really want which is reimbursed.

i am saving up for my wedding so need all the cash i can get as i don't want to put anything on credit cards etc. mystery shopping is helping me to make my target. i will be very selective of the jobs i take after the wedding (if any).

Pebbles we found when we were planning our wedding last year that it served a few purposes:
1) Extra money
2) Replaced the meals out we weren't spending our money on any more
3) Gave us an ideal meeting place to plan the wedding
4) #3 above gave us another excuse, this time to have paperwork on the table at a restaurant so that we could cheekily write notes!

This is where fee-free MSing becomes useful!

i also quite enjoy doing the ms-ing! i am doing a bingo one tonight so that should be fun.

i will be pickier after the wedding though and just do 'fun' ones. i will never want to look at another burger again!

TNS have rejected my application. Gutted!

They've not given a reason so I've emailed asking them.

EDIT: I'm in discussions with them with a view to sorting this out.
