The Mystery Shopping thread - IX

ladyxbird

Hi every one, I wanted to introduce my self and say hello as I've been following your thread for a little while now and it has been a lot of help to me on my mystery shopping endeavours. I was wondering if any one could give me any advice at all in getting more mystery shops! I'm signed up to most of the major companies, I'm 20 years old and female, not sure if that matters a whole lot but in the past 3 weeks there's only been about 4 jobs that I could accept and I'd love to be doing a lot more than that as I could do with some extra money right now. I've read that some of you have had hair dresser shops and restaurant shops and I want a piece of the action!

Thank you for any help at all.

Am only new to MSing, but a phrase that seems to pop up constantly is 'car circuits'. What are theses exactly, and how well paid are they? Do you get them from a specific MSer?

The car circuits are from Bare International. They are shops to several car showrooms, and pay quite well. The main bonus is that you get given several shops in the same area on the same day, so can maximise your income.

With Bare, you apply for jobs, then just have to hang on and wait and see whether they allocate them to you. It is worth applying for a few jobs, and if you do get given one, then do the report as well as you can, as they will then give you priority for other jobs in the future.

Hi LxB, welcome to the thread! Are you signed up with TNS? If not then sign up and get started on their alcohol compliance work, there is plenty of work.

I wasn't sure about signing up for this as it would be a circuit quite a drive away and it wasn't hugely clear if the payment was per visit or for the whole circuit. But I may give it a go as I have fun with car salesmen just generally as I was trained up at an early age.

It's a circuit of 4-12 car dealerships per person. And you're only paid if you complete all the jobs assigned to you in the circuit. I personally wish the pay was per dealership.

So you have to do say 4 in a circuit and then get 4 x the shopper fee?

Sorry to be a bit thick but I don't find the instructions that clear!

Ive looked at these jobs on the bare job board, but it only says visits of between 2-11 dealers and no info exactly which ones, Im interested, but when do you find out how many you would have to visit and where? also am I right in saying that the fee quoted is per visit?:D

The fee is per visit. You only find out how many and which ones when the circuit is allocated to you - for me this has been by a telephone call.

Is anyone facing difficulties with submitting results to ESA tonight? I am trying to send my results but it is not saving it properly. I've done the check and save and the dialogue box popped up saying it is saved but the green check is not appearing.

Tried calling the Support Team and the line is very busy.
