Couldn't agree more! This round I managed to pick up my really, really local one. Tried to get the one where I do my regular weekly shop, but I'm not allowed because I've done it too recently. The others in my general area are still there. This is quite unusual - they generally go in a flash. I can only assume everyone else feels the same - just not worth the trip without the mileage fee. Well, let's hope TNS take note. The DO want quite a lot done in those jobs (in my opinion) so they really need to make it worth our while.

And as for those bloomin' pharmacies!!!! I'm sick of looking at 'em! I don't have a prescription at the moment, but even if I did I don't think I'd be inclined to take the jobs as I think they want a lot of work for the measly fee, too.

Ooh get me... I'm in full rant mode, aren't I?

i agree i have a prescription to get and i can tie it in with a trip to town for something else but i will try it once and not sure if i will ever be doing them again either. no idea whats going on with TNS as they cant not expect us to drive literally miles (some of the ones i have been doing with other things are 70mile round trips) and not get some help with the fuel associated with them especially as most are out of town places. the ones near me for next month that i have just done last week or about to do this week are staying as available as well, i thought i would post just incase anyone new like i was last month takes 10 or so and then discovers that month before everyone got fuel help - like with me with a coffee job. as thats really lousy as you feel like you will still be doing the same work as everyone else but not being reimbursed properly :mad:

Is it just me or can anyone not see the pharmacy visits? I've not seen any in ages!

On a more positive note I just completed my first job with tern and got a 9/10 for the report. :j

I'm still waiting for my initial shopper test to be graded with TERN... I did it at the end of June. Has anyone else had to wait this long? Would like to do some work for them, and I'm gutted as I just missed out on the glasses jobs...

Is it worth me contacting them? If I can at all?

Mine was the middle of June, I rang them and they say they are still sifting through them:eek:

Looks like its official.......Us MSers are breeding faster than the swine flu then.:eek:

Whoa! Okay then! I thought I had a long wait, but seems most of you have waited longer so I shall keep quiet! Ha ha.

I guess everyone is looking to boost their incomes these days. Am thinking of doing Body Shop at Home so might tail off the Mystery Shopping a bit to make room for that...

Just had the feedback for 4 jobs I did for Tern, 8/10 for all of them, they didnt raise any queries either
