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

I registered with PIP a couple of months ago now and have yet to ever see any work. Is this usual?

Many thanks.:)

Very strange to see the total number of opportunites is just over 100 for the whole country. I seem to recall times of 2000 plus opportunities.

Having a look at each MS site today most seem to have very little work available. Either there is no money to spend on MS or there are so many of us shopping that the opportunities vanish very quickly -- could be why the fees seem to be falling all around

I think with ESA that it's probably because for some people it's self assign now so there's nothing left for those that can't self assign

Not sure about that as I think the self assign was only for one or two (smaller) clients.

I haven't seen any jobs that can be self assigned as yet, and I got the email a couple of weeks ago.

BARE have not been able to renegotiate the flight contract:eek:

No more long hauls from them! :(:(

No, I don't know if any other firm has got the contract- Edit 28 April I do,

-Imagine if it was RE :rotfl::rotfl:

The airline may have just stopped Msing their flights

!!!!!! indeed! There goes the incentive for working with BARE as much lol. I'm too young for car circuits so end up doing some less desirable jobs to try to get to 20.

Do you mind me asking how you found it out? I'd be surprised if they stop doing it. A lot of the long haul flights I've been on have always had seats so it's not really much of an expense for them in the grand scheme of things.

That's why I posted, so you don't waste effort.

You have a PM :cool:

I'm sure BARE were not offering the services for free :cool: and maybe they were not getting back the correct type of results, who knows?

Damn. Like Lilme said, there goes the incentive to get up to 20 shops to be in with a chance of applying for the flights.

Maybe to cut costs, the airline will not ms their staff for a while.
Or maybe Helion got the contract......
