I can't see any spas on Tern, only sport & leisure centres in Wales - is that what is meant?

There were a few...no fee just a reimbursement for a treatment...can't remember where they were located but think there was one in Brighton.

do grass roots ever have visits in westfield in london?

Yes they do but they're all mine! I wish. I've only seen phone shops & the supermarket.

RE & TNS also do visits there - Phone shops, fast food, food on the go.

2 questions for all you seasoned mystery shoppers

1) I never ever get any jobs on aba-i, even when I search the whole country. And I only ever see it for one clothing chain, is this normal as I only signed up about a month ago or am I doing something wrong?

2) I got an email from GFK about nature visits and its says fee open to negotiation, how much more can I reasonably ask for?

Thanks!

All I ever see are banks and phone shops on GR and even then only about once a month despite me doing some totally fabulous work for them - 10 jobs so far:rotfl: - the money is good but, how utterly, utterly, crashingly, mind-numbingly boring - I can barely face it...... I am almost relieved when they have been taken so I don't have to wrestle with my conscience over my current Take Anything That Pays for Your Holiday policy....:beer: I wish I could see a supermarket or spa treatment:kisses3:
Maybe I am just soooo good at the banks they don't want to distract me!!??

Has anybody on here ever negotiated an increased fee for a job with TNS. If so, did the increased fee show on the pay claim form, or did it show the normal fee but you still got paid the right amount?

Think I must have just missed them, then, if they were available to people who didn't have enough points.

I negotiated a higher mileage so I just added the new agreed mileage at the end of the questionnaire and it was paid correctly.

What are you saying about Scousers FE? That they like to drink, take everything from in front of your eyes and are up at odd hours? :beer::rotfl:
