Not really much to say except that I really like your signature.

Thank You! x

Now I could really do with a bra fitting, but have still not had my test shop for Tern marked. Oh well, I expect they will come round again in a few months.

Hope I get one of the house visits with TNS, looks like fun pretending to be an 'affluent family' and inspecting the show home!

New and wannabe Mystery Shopper - I am done a few assignments for RM and GR you know a tenner here and there no more than £30 in a month but I'd really like to kick it up a notch and earn more serious money on it, I see some of you guys doing it and I wonder how??
I am signed up to RE, TNS, GFK (I think I do all the surveys) also just applied for TERN.
Are there any others?
And I know RM text alerts, and GR and TNS email them but what about the others?

Cheers for any help and advice

Hey TG, don't go. I have replied to the troll but it will be the last time. He only posts on here to cause trouble, please don't give him the satisfaction. The next post that comes from him in the same vein will be reported. This is a nice friendly thread and everyone appreciates the help they receive. Don't let one idiot ruin that, remember, he is NOT speaking on behalf of anyone on here! xx

Just back off hols so gradually catching up with the thread. Funny his original post has now been deleted anyway - I could only see it in the quotes and wondered if I'd missed it - perhaps the mods have deleted it.

Don't go TG - we'll miss you!

Thank you all for your welcomes and responses

It's the store with a man's name who won't allow competitors to be cheaper than them

I'm so interested in this store because there is one near where I live plus I'm so close to London it's super easy for me to get to their main store

It's Optimum Contact who do this store.

Well you go to the first page of this thread and you can find info on the others.

Depends what you call "serious" money. You aren't going to get rich.

To get the better paid assignments you have to prove yourself to the companies by your reliability and quality of your reports

Havnt done my Tern test shop yet - are we supposed to really do one - for nothing - or do we do a ficticious one. Dont feel inclined to do a real one giving name of shop etc that they ask for - doesnt seem right somehow - comments appreciated

Stations on RE.

Wow, they went fast! 114 down to 25 in 2 minutes flat! Lucky I was on there as they were uploading them - Just by chance I checked the site and saw a few that weren't on there earlier and by the time I'd chosen them, hundreds more started popping up and then it was all go! Never experienced that before and it's true, the site does slow down incredibly ... but I guess thats to be expected when we all descend on it like vultures!

Hope everyone managed to get something they wanted. x

Cant do any at my station as they have just installed barriers - now you have to buy a ticket to get through them to the locations listed on RE. - Arghhhhhhhhhhh

How many did you get, or did you just get one?
I got 4 in the last lot, but this time around the limit appears to be 2,
Oh well, I should just be happy with 2! Covers my train fare for a day out!
