Welcome back everyone

Anyone else struggling to complete the discount store report for Aba-i? 830 Characters only to "describe the entire visit"!

When I tried yesterday, the report wouldn't submit Trying again tonight, but I hope I don't get in trouble if it again won't submit!!

The no fee jobs on petrol are not too bad (usually people do them with another job or use the fuel to work/leisure as payment)

I mean the actual mystery shop of somewhere, such as the clothes shop and now the drinking place. I have 50/50 view of it too but want to be paid for when i do some work. I wouldn't be buying from those places, so not picking up the jobs without receiving payment.

I've picked up a make up place the fee isnt too generous but I get something and the products will have been bought anyway so i'm happy.

I'm sure they will notice when jobs dont go with no fees, how can they make it better oh yes thats it pay us lol..

Thanks, it will certainly help me, I was wondering why I wasn't getting any jobs too. I didn't know about that. Where do you do it?

Hi Owlet -Its all coming back to me now!
I went into shop log and was trying to enter the shopper testing centre in order to take tests that I thought would allow me to do more jobs

However this did not work and that's when I called my contact from my welcome email

I then made the recording on my lap top (there was a short script but I was told it did not matter what I said as long as I did not say my name)

To record you will find it in All Programs /Accesories / Entertainment / Sound recorder but you need a mic on your pc.

I did not have an inbuilt mic but recorded it on my phone and loaded it on to my PC



I emailed that direct to my contact.

The script was something like:

I am a mystery shopper and work on behalf of Bare International. The weather is fine today.

Have you guys checked out the Arise.com Thread at all and this is where you can make some money - take a look it may be of interest to some of you and has approx 200+ posts

Had a quick look into it having to set up a ltd company on behalf of another is not a good idea, unless you can trust the original company 110% professional advice must be sought with this and its a lot of effort too from a quick look on the threads...

Edit further chat on this should be on the correct thread..

Is there a way of saving what you can see on the new Google Map program and submitting that? A bit naughty, but it's better than nothing.

I think you may be right. Thanks everyone who also posted about this. I just feel a little relieved it wasn't just me (sorry, no offense meant to anyone). I did do a large number of stamp jobs - they were my main client.

I did get a further email from them saying that they were taking people off for false reports, too many cancellations and not following the brief. These were definately not things I had done. :mad:

Ah, well. At least I managed to take hubby out for a free meal last night courtesy of RE. It was really nice. :beer:

I honestly haven't a clue.

All you can do is try to get jobs for Bare and prove yourself reliable and high scoring.

I have done the domestic and long haul flights. I think the longer and reliable shoppers get picked, as are putting up the money up front for the tickets, so can't really risk £1000's on 'newbies'. Been lucky been to Vegas/NY all flights UC
