Hi everyone

Just wanted to see what everyone thinks; I do get asked sometimes by friends about signing up for MS but am getting reluctant to hand out information now (they live near me so less work for me!). Am I am mean old prune :rotfl: or is anyone else the same? I can't do a 'day job' so it's my only source of income.

Maybe I'm just mean

Hmmmm it depends. If there's not enough for you to do i.e. you live in a rural area and take the efforts to make visits then fair on you don't give to much info ask them to google mystery shopping.

Hi
Can anyone tell me about the petrol visits, is the amount paid to cover what you have spent on petrol etc? Or, do you get reimbursed too?

thanks

No petrol for me on aba-i.

I must be on some banned list as as soon as the alerts go on I check but there is nothing.

Hey Moneysavers, Right I am new to the Mystery Shopping world. I finally have my first assignment next week wooo! Can I get some advise as to what I need to do, I havent yet done the tax thing....can you advise if I need to do it before the end of this tax year or would it be for next year as I wouldnt be paid until after Sunday anyways? Can you also advise me what I will need to keep afterwards etc.... I know its probably quite a long answer but its greatly appreciated!

Same softpad.

Can anybody else get on RE? I'm annoyed, I have a job to do, I need the job notes, and I need to leave the house in about 10 mins, and I've been trying to get on for ages now!

Don;t worry it's not always in sync. For example my local town was on the list with a handful of other but hasn't appeared again in this bunch.

You've put me mind at rest now. Thanks.

I also cannot even get the RE website up!

How annoying! Can't help other than to say give them a ring - they're quite helpful (sometimes) when you call them.

My view however is that you shouldn't have to call them - the exceptionally low fees go hand in hand with a no messing approach to managing the job IMO - if you have to start spending time chasing them then the fee is even worse!

I'm the same as you, it's competitive enough here without more . seriously though, I always say to them that different companies suit different people and I refer them to the front page of this thread for all the info.
