The Mystery Shopping thread - VII

Lovely GAP. They rang me last week and asked me to do an urgent assignment for them and paid me an extra £4.00. Today they rang me again and asked me to do another assignment that needs to be completed this week. I asked again if I would be paid any more for it and they said "no" but offered me 3 jobs for next month which haven't been released yet (for May) and they're only a stone's throw away from where I live. Lucky me! How long is this romance going to last before they send me an email telling me I've had the chop!:rotfl:

The cycle shops aren't showing in my area, are they ones where the second syllable is the same as a car manufacturer?

Can anyone who has done ABAi petrol confirm if the spend at the first garage (not the competitor) is inclusive of the item bought in the shop or do you have to spend that much on petrol, and buy something in the shop. The reason I ask is my petrol tank is quite full!

HI,

You have to buy something in the shop in addition to the petrol spend - water, chocolate, anything

Thanks Nads, but I'm still a bit confused. They say to spend £X. Does that mean I have to spend £X on petrol and buy a chocolate bar, so spending about £X.45 in total. Or can I spend less on petrol so long as my total spend is over £X?

Hi, I have just completed my first few mystery shops, can anyone tell me when I will know if I've completed correctly (ie they will actually pay for the info!) I think there correct but sometimes the briefs are pretty wooly!!

Hello

I have been working for Retail Eyes for a while, I have now signed up with BARE.

Where do I enter my bank details? I have found a button to say whether I can accept Paypal (which is fine but I would rather have money in the bank!). Can anyone help?

The pub jobs on RE went really quickly today - there were 11 in my area and by the time I'd selected one, the others had all gone!

Hi,

That's correct, you have to spend £X.45 so you cannot spent say £2 petrol and £0.45 chocolate - overall you are making a profit as you're essentially getting the fuel for free.

I wondered if I could spend £5 on petrol and £5 on chocolate(or something...) as I'm not sure I can fit the full amount of petrol in my tank. Otherwise I'll just have to borrow oh's car!
