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

I've got two more jobs booked for this month and zilch for April except for the ongoing photo jobs.

Bit worrying, as I need to increase my monthly target from £250 to £500 going forward from April.

I earned £163 last week and this week will be £22!

Just realised I didn't get round to finishing the TNS sign up so doing that now.

I've done 2 jobs for RE, one has been approved and the pic wasn't that great as i had to take it in the car before I ate it and the sun was everywhere but where I wanted it. Still waiting on another one to be approved and have a job for next week.

There are loads of pubs on RE for me but they are in the next town over so not worth the fee - however, there is one near work so if I wanted to pop in I could get a free lunch while I'm there. :beer:

Did two assignments for RE yesterday, with a £x reimbersement only for each job.

Reported the two jobs, took me ages because of all the stupid questions..... put the two spend amounts in and thats all RE are willing to reimberse!

So instead of receiving the stated amount, I'm getting £6 to cover the purchases.

I'm not trying to start another fight, but please don't mention fees/reimbursements on here...

Thank you.

Worth remembering that in future..... still, got 2 PC games out of it so not all bad. Just wish they would make their assignment briefs more clear.
When it says "We will pay £x in reimbersement costs", it makes it sound like you are going to get £x, so me thinking in terms of profit bought the two cheapest PC games I could get, lol.

Spoke to RE about their misleading brief for this wave, the response was "theres nothing we can do".... so I politely told them to close my account down and not contact me next time they need a favour :rotfl:

The only ones that seem to be worth doing for RE recently are the nightclub jobs (very good reimbersement) and the pizza jobs, bearing in mind we order from the pizza client regularly anyway, so I see it as a cheaper take-away. Also, the pet jobs because I get to buy the essentials for my cat

But for people that are trying to make a profit, I cant see how RE is the way to go about it.

Just wondering, my fiancee, soon to be wife, works in retail and I was wondering if this would stop me being able to do Mystery Shopping?
