  • You asked in a shop???? Its supposed to be MYSTERY shopping!! Mystery - as in unknown person!!  ;) ;D
    Try the link in my signature for other mystery shopping companies that work!

    Relax beckie, it was a joke. I hadn't had a reply to my request for further info in 6 hours and was being ironic.

    There wasn't too many shops open between 20.48 last night and 2.25 this morning near me anyway!

    Cheers for the link.

  • One way to sign up for mystery shopping is via the following link
    http://www.tns-global.com/corporate/Rooms/DisplayPages/LayoutInitial?Container=com.webridge.entity.Entity%5BOID%5BF381EC52095BE74F8940A122AA3824EC%5D%5D

    I haven't done this yet so cannot say whether it is worth doing or not......

    I actually work for TNS as a mystery shopper and they are an excellent company to work for. You register (throught link posted above) and after evaluation they send you a fieldworker id to enable you to log on to their website and trawl through the available jobs in your area.
    I visit supermarkets, restaurants, fast food outlets, car showrooms and finance companies. They pay straight into you bank on 28th of each month and take tax off for your unlike a lot of other companies.
    I would recommend signing up with them although the application is quite labourious and it takes a few weeks for them to get back to you.

    Concerned that you need to give all your personal details, including N.I. number before you even start to apply. Should I be worried about security?

    OK I am trying to understand the process here, I understand if you purchase certain products you can return them, but, what if you are visiting a restaraunt surely you can't turn up next day with a bag of no 2's and claim a refund then, how do you recover the expenditure under these circumstances? I'd like to have a go but to earn money not spend it!
