Mystery shopping thread xiii ** please don't mention client names on here **

I know that some companies have a limit to how many jobs per client you can apply for per wave, but wasnt sure whether there was a list on here or not? Had a look but couldnt find one?

Morning all.. just wondering if anyone else has this problem, been reg with these 2 companies for 4 mths now....re & abi not a single job as yet..!!!! well tell a lie i did see a couple of pub jobs from re but that's all ( don't do pubs, didn't realise i put them down) so I took them off my preferences and had nothing since..... iv'e never had a thing from abi... i have given load's of post codes, and a 50 mile radius.... don't understand it...
no problems with other companies only these 2... its disheartening...:( as i see alerts and others mention what jobs are on offer from them... I know age, location, etc. etc..... eliminates you from certain jobs but not all surely... I did email them and got a reply saying there were no jobs at the mo.... but they have added come more clients to my profile, so as to add more opportunity's for me, (just answer a few questions when i next login which i did) still no jobs !!!!!! and re ... i have sent numerous emails but not had any reply ... think its time to give up on those 2....:mad:

I agree with CTE111, I believe my first job with RE was a pub. Once I had completed my visit successfully and taken off probation,. I could see more clients.

I don't think I've seen a list. Here's a start:
ABAI clients
Catalogue shops: 3 enquiries and 3 purchase & return
Posh dept store: 1 store purchase, 1 food shop and 1 cafe
Discount clothes stores: 3
Petrol: 3 main store and competitor; 3 individual visits

GFK: depends on the client, always stated in the initial brief how many you can take (make sure you remember which wave you've been doing as they will just remove them from your list and not pay you if you've done too many). If they ring to offer you extra jobs, check they realise how many you've done already.

GR: usually one from each wave I think, but TBH they offer so few that it would be difficult to do more.

ESA / React: down to the scheduler

RE: most restaurants it seems to be only 1 for each wave, chemists you are allowed 4 I think? Bookies 3 of each type; Stations 2 (unless they are desperate); Sandwiches 2; Pub drinks 2; Pub meals 1 (correct me if I'm wrong); Kitchen shops 1; Music shops 1

The bit about not mentioning client names in the title of this thread seems to have passed you by.

RE - underground sandwiches appears to be 2 per wave - rest disappear after 2 accepted - happened for me twice now:D

Three for both bookies and I think 2 for the pub drinks. Stations seem to be 2 also, unless they are desperate to get rid of some.

A lot of the time, RE will allow you to do more than the website will allow you to book.

I did 8 bookies in one afternoon in the not-too-distant past.

Might depend on who you are and/or who you speak to, but I had no trouble.

Think it must be, as my bunnies (even though they've been neutered) are getting very frisky in the garden this week. Can't wait until the kids ask what they are doing. :eek:
