My girlfriend mentioned to me last night that she would quite like to become a mystery shopper. However she mentioned that the website she was looking at asked her for an initial financial outlay. (i don't know what one it was she was looking at)
I was immediately suspicious about that and thought i'd ask on here if any of the company's listed in this thread require you to pay up front to get work?

Anything like this smells dodgy to me.:rotfl:

Direct her to the first two posts of this thread - all she'll have to spend is her time

ive just got my first hardware store for TNS - now receiving lots of emails about following things exactly. For anyone who has experience of these are these easy to slip up and make mistakes with or are TNS being over cautious?

I've never experienced any problems with these. You just have to remember to speak to 3 people. The visit can be long winded but I don't mind doing these shops. However, I do always seem to spend more than the reimbursement!

Are we expecting GAP money tomorrow?

Not sure - I got my money in on the 22nd last month and that was the first month I received money from them.

Would you normally get paid on the 20th?

Hi

can anyone help here, done lots of catalogue shops for Abai therefore no reimbursement involved, just got the incentive, do you know if you get reimbursement on purchase jobs and /or incentive when they want you to keep your purchase? thanks

No, with ABA-i the fee covers any purchase you have to make.

Wow, bargain! There was a sale last week when I went and a couple of things I'd had my eye on were reduced, so I snapped them up with my reimbursement.
I need to check if they do gift vouchers, If so, I wonder if you can purchase them and then save them up for a biggie!

did you have an email explaining this morning? i still am not pleased :rolleyes:

Yes, got the email. The job has been taken away from me due to their 'error'. So many 'errors' from an 'improved' website !!

If anyone knows which company have the MS contract for Boots could you PM me please?
I realise that I might not be eligible for a while until I've built up my reputation with them, but I'd at least like to know if I've signed up for the right companies - or if I need to sign up for another.

Thanks.
