With mystery shopping it's often fastest finger first and can be really difficult to actually get the work.

Not concerned about this at all. I need to get myself of probation and then I will look to zap up as many jobs as i can.

I want to make loads of money ...eventually this earnt money will compound and I won't have to do as much.

Its great to see that you have such a positive attitude - and , boy, are you going to need it in the next few months! If it was quite as easy as you think, then a lot of us would be a hell of a lot richer!

When a MS company reimbursses say £3, would it be possible for me to just spend £1 and still get the company to reimburse £3 on top of my normal fee ?

It will be interesting to hear from you after you have come off of probation. I don’t think it will be that easy as zapping them all up. I have an iphone which I get emails directly and I am always checking all the sites and I can tell you it is hard.

SEB anyone????



Seriously though, Stoozer, it depends on the company. You need to read the assignment notes. Some will pay a fixed amount regardless of what you spend. Some will pay up to a specified amount so if you spend less you are reimbursed less, and if you spend more they will only pay the max they quoted.

It was a rhetorical question. Never mind.

Moving on, anyone know whether gyp are doing any bookies soon. They seem LONG overdue by now.

No most companies will only pay what you actually spent up to the reimbursement.

Not usually. There is one company who does this, but most will reimburse the amount you actually spend. You have to be really careful which jobs you take on because sometimes the cheapest thing you can buy is more than the reimbursement, leaving you out of pocket. This is happening more and more, especially one company.

Most companies will require you to send in a copy of the receipt, so you can't lie about what you spent.
