The Mystery Shopping thread - VIII

Hi Guys,

Am starting to get back into mystery shopping again - anything to raise funds at the moment lol Anyways, I last mystery shopped when I was living in Crewe whilst at Uni, I have signed into Grassroots and updated my address as I have changed area..... thing is, its still offering me assignments for Crewe. Have emailed them about it and they said to delete original address and set new one as home location - did this on Friday but assignments it is offering me are in Crewe... Any idea how I can change it or do I need to email them again?

Many thanks,

S xx

How long since you changed it? It may take 24 hours for the changes to take effect - it does on a certain other company.

Thanks, will try again.

I got an email from them re the query at 3am this morning, proofreading in the night? Bizarre.

They've probably been forced to do it in the middle of the night - it's the only time they can get on without it crashing! :rotfl:

Might be that like RE they only update the allocations on certain days of the week. As a temporary measure add 4 more different addresses to increase your chances of being offered jobs. Best bet is to add your current address and perhaps a bank that you bank with, a green supermarket and a shop in your town centre.

Hi I have registered with Bare Int. and never see anything in my area, does anyone have much to do with this co. or is it just that I am unlucky!

BARE don't always have a huge number of jobs so it may be that at the moment they don't have any in your town. Since January I've only seen two of the same jeans jobs and once I saw three mobile phone shops but that's it!

Might be automated or they might employ people like me I often do the admin side of my homeworking job in the wee small hours freeing up time for family and other work during the more normal hours.

They outsource the proof reading so it wasn't necessarily sent direct from the office. DONT phone them back, email them, tell them when you're going to be available and ask them to call you. You've done the job, done the paperwork, their system accepted it, if they want more information why should YOU foot the phone bill to give it to them?

Just looking on my RE points account, and there are 2 transactions I don't understand, both have given me one point, one says "Abu Dhabi Branch Survey completed" and the other says "Deira Branch Survey completed". Any idea what this is all about?

Another job to add to the lsit of jobs I will never do for RE: pet shop. Fee for the questionnaire completely skewed.
