The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

tizzy79 - I'm in the same boat as you. Not too concerned though as I think they do pay people, just really, really, really slowly!

owlet - it's normal for certain jobs - nightclubs, phonecalls and others. I've had plenty of calls from them before: "Yes....Yes, of course.....Yes....Yep.....I will....Yes.....Thanks, Bye."

I am new to this but thought I would register with a few. Have done so far with RE, Gap buster, GFK, Optimum, Grass Roots and Bare.

Can anyone tell me how to access the GFK website to search as the link I had doesn't work. I had an e-mail saying I had been accepted then did the test. Do you have to wait to hear from them again ?

Thanks.

The link I've got for GFK is: https://cybershop.gfk.com

I've recently registered with them, and found that they have emailed me when there were jobs available near me. If I log on when they've not emailed me, then there are no jobs available. They have given me 2 bank jobs this week though, so worth waiting to see.

Savings stamps are cash only (debit cards can't be used). Also I found out the hard way that they don't come with a reciept and therefore you don't get paid. Buy something else even if its only a 1p postage stamp and you will be offered a reciept.

I always ask for a receipt when purchasing a savings stamp and have never had any problems obtaining one

Can anyone help? I had asked before but not had any reply, but payments for frontline focus, on the 1st page it's monthly, but I did my 1st assignment for them in early December, when I asked I was told there is a about a 3 month delay on payments. It did say on the site payments may be due around the 27th February. I haven't received any payment and I was wondering if anyone else has had payment for December jobs, either before the end of Feburary or earlier. It's not a couple of pounds, I am owed a £100 for December, plus assignments in January and Feburary too.

TIA

I received payment for November jobs by cheque (I obviously hadn't given them my bank details) mid Feb - the website said it would be end of Jan. So allowing for the cheques to be sent out I'm expecting to receive payment for Dec jobs mid March.

Good luck UK monkey!

I did 7 for Bare - it took 2 days - driving between garages and the waiting around for salesmen was a real pain - then the reports! 2 months to wait to get paid - no I wouldn't do it again!!

PS Let us know how you got on - may be you're more efficient than me!!

Evening all, Just a quick question regarding BPA - been with them for a while but just wondered why do they deduct holiday pay ? Tks

Hi Tigergold.

I don't know who BPA is. Do you work for them full time? Haven't heard of this before.
Hope someone can help you.

It is always worth checking with GFK though. I have had most of my jobs with them by checking ad hoc. I haven't always had an email and sometimes when I have, it has arrived long after the jobs have gone!
