    I had over 100, picked up a gas phone call, and it went down to 9. Didn't see any torso shops :(

    RE I had 118 to chose from all sorts of different ones
    Picked a torso shop
    It shot down to 2


    :confused::eek:

    They were a good mix so don't understand boo hoo

    Hi everyone,

    I just started Mystery Shopping and I already have 9 lined up over the next 3 weeks - all pretty similar things.

    Although I've done a bit of mystery shopping before, a few years ago, this is the first time that I've used any of these companies and I am a bit confused about a couple of them.

    For example - with one, the assignments are all food places. While most of them pay about £7.50 (£3.50 for food, so £4 payment), there is one particular food place where you only get enough money to cover the order - is this common?

    Also, with R E (?), how do you get to see available assignments?
    I can't work it out at all!

    Thanks for any help!



    We have had reimbursement only ones of up to £40
    We take these as we treat it as our social life as well as improving service
    We have had some superb meals that we wouldnt have afford otherwise

    I had over 100 as well and then when I picked up a torso job it went down to 10. I don't see why all the fuel calls and other jobs should disappear just because I picked up a torso job:confused: It's not as if they are related:rolleyes:

    Weird isn't it ?
    Shame because I would have chosen a high value meal over the torso one
    Lesson learn't snag the best reimbursement one first DOH

  • I'm new to MSing, registered with gap and have done a few jobs, similar to the ones missymugwump mentioned.

    Now... I've just done a spreadsheet with expenses for tax return next year, trying to be organized for next year :T but as it stands, works out that I'm at loss:confused: is this real or am I making mistakes on my records? I avoid going too far and claim printouts and petrol as expenses only if that helps? Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks
