Because, in case you missed it, we are in the middle of a recession! :eek:skywalker83 wrote: »why is it so slow this month
I have about 10% of the work this month than I did same time last month. Lucky to make £50 this month whereas it use to be around £80 per week.0 -
Are you kidding!? This is RE we're talking about. If in any way they can wrangle their way out of paying you - they will!absolutelynomoney wrote: »Has anyone ever been paid for a visit with RE where they didn't have a receipt?0 -
No it's rubbish. I have been paid £30 for similar jobs with other MS companies.Scaredy_Cat wrote: »Anyone else just got a load of spam from TNS? FIVE separate emails about the same new project?
And does anyone else think the fee is not good enough for a 90 minute interview... and then having to complete a report afterwards? Or am I getting too picky these days?0 -

Give them a call, they are really nice people. They usually call me when there is job available.0 -
I hope no one gets conned with this one. A lot of people in America (unsurprisingly) have been. I read it on a US forum over the weekend. It's under a different MS company there. Just the fact that they call is a "store" rather than a "shop" rings alarm bells to me.bylromarha wrote: »http://www.jobnut.co.uk/be_a_mystery_shopper_and_earn_400_weekly-p115999.html

I have! The only job i've ever done for them too. Just wanted to know how much i had spent. Mind you in the briefing notes it said if you are not offered a receipt then don't ask for one.0 -
Sorry about this - bit of a newbie just looking for some help! I did a chicken shop for Gap and they want the store no off the receipt? Can see about a zillion numbers and not a clue which one to put.
Thanks v much in advance - ps, very helpful forum this - been scanning it quite a lot!0
