I've done a few credit card jobs for them, but haven't been paid. Mind you, not sure when I should be paid for them as only did during October. They have been replying to my emails though, so they are still going...

Their pay has been haywire the last few months - you do get it in the end, but this months is going to be late again from what I've heard.
Sithara is usually really good at getting back to you, though it's not her that deals with pay - she is one of the schedulers, for our area anyway.
I usually ask her about it though, and she always gets back to me to let me know what's going on.

Sithara is on holiday this week, I'll ask her next week, I've done about 5 jobs, so it's a fair amount of money I'm due (and could use!)

Same here - due a fair few quid from them!

I think it's due in early November - fingers crossed!:D

Need some urgent help please! :eek:

Did my first assignment a few minutes ago, had to visit a pharmacy for Retail Eyes. I'm entering the details on the site now, and its asking for the name of the person who served me! I checked to see if she had a badge on, which she did, but I didn't take note of it. :huh:

What should I enter??

This happened to me the other day; I just submitted a description although if asked, the truth I was going to tell them is, I couldn't make out the staff member's name and did not want to draw attention to myself by staring at the badge!!

I'm hoping they might go on tomorrow as all the old ones have been removed today and that company not showing at all - they're definitely due! I did loads for them last Xmas too, at least they're not affected by everywhere else going quiet for jobs over Xmas.

Just wish the other firms allowed women mystery shoppers to do bookies :mad:

I'm still waiting for jobs done in Aug to be paid by FF too. The contact from the website that says to use for pay queries hasn't answered any of my emails :mad:. Altho' bryssn as you say, S normally is pretty good about replying. They must be the slowest payers in the business!

I've accepted a job for ABA-i and just read the notes. It seems they are not paying in proper money, but are paying a gift voucher for use in the stores connected with the place I'm supposed to MS. Is this new? It seems a bit off to me.

Also, the assignment says I have to buy something for which I will not be reimbursed but I am free to return it later. I was pleased to have taken this job until I read all the notes, now I feel I'm being taken advantage of. What do you think?

I should probably add, I don't usually shop in these stores so have no use for a gift voucher - I'd rather have the cash to spend where I choose.

So it's two trips to town (one to do the assignment and one to return the item I had to purchase), and the only recompense is a voucher to spend in a store I never shop in. I think I'll have to cancel the job - but I would appreciate comments. What do the rest of you think?
