The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

nads

jedi, I had the same problem with the mp3 file and the same result. Shame really because the call was absolutely perfect - I was so in to it, I was almost going to keep the hotel booking!

good on them for honouring the fee

Has anyone done a job for Mystery Outsource. I have got 1 ( optical) and just downloaded the guidelines and not a dicky bird about what the fee is or if they pay travel. And it is 30 miles away.

Yes I have

were you contact via email from a scheduler ?

If it was the same person who emailed me she didnt mention fee either but i just replied and asked her to confirm. Travel wasnt covered but the fee was reasonable. The may be a high out lay though if is the same one offered to me, as you have to purchase a pair of glasses.
Also check the address, she had over 300 optical jobs and the one she gave me turned out to be a mistake and was in fact a shoe shop job, for half the fee... i still did it, but worth checking before you travel and contact if any problems, they are very friendly.

Has anyone been paid by Bare this week? My report shows paid last Wednesday but nothing has come through to my bank account. Does anyone know how long it normally takes?

TIA

I've still got the same old 5 pub jobs that nobody ever takes. Got my phone assignment with TNS tomorrow - the one with the envelope!!! Anyone do one today or got one on for this week?

I have two of those for next week, but I accidentally opened the envelopes cos I thought they might be specific to the store and didn't want to get them mixed up! Area Mgr said it was ok though!

Mine took about 6 working days after it showed as paid. If you dont get anyting by the end of the week, send them an email, as sometimes the payment does not go through (happened to me the first time i did a MS for them).

Thanks both who replied. I just think it strange they had to check with AA as I am registered with AA so why did they not offer it 1st/ I have kind of forgotten who Mystery Outsource are anyway. It was one of the companies I registered with a while ago and this is the 1st I have heard from them.

And Bryssn I have gone back to the original email and oops the visit fee is there plus they pay travel...just as well as it is some distance away.

That is 5 eye visits in 3 days. I will be !!!! eyed by the end of it.

Just received an email from TNS:

"Pub visits in *** for March
Friday / Saturday after 10.00pm
Age 10-30"!!!

'fraid I'm too old, but does anyone know any 10 year olds who'd like to go to the pub on a Friday or Saturday night? ;-)

AA didnt contact me on the job either but I guessed they outsourced it ?

Just remember to have 5 different names and addresses you can easily use ...

maybe use a neighbours house number and change your name... if they dont mind that is
