MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XIV - Please do NOT mention Client names on here

Helion have only just started allocating work so we're all trying to get the hang of how they're going to do things.

If you have a pending job and you're going in the area today or tomorrow then give Max a call and he will more often than not allocate it to you there and then. I've not heard of anyone cancelling pending jobs yet though.

I've applied to Helion and there's an update stating my photo ID has been validated and deleted, but i can still see it. It this right? I've not received any confirmation email from them.
Thanks in advance for any help :beer:.

Yes, this is right. Your photo has now been uploaded to their system, mine said this

But you've got "push" email which is invaluable!

When it works!
Got none of the alerts through earlier & know all the jobs have gone!
I also managed to get childcare for a job on Thursday that involves no kids and the jobs disappeared! I had to wait for GfK to get back to me as I didn't pass one of the criteria, by the time they said Yes it had gone - typical.

Woo-hoo! Having decided to sign up for mystery shopping to make a bit of extra cash to put towards a new kitchen, I have signed up with Gapbuster & GfK and have just completed my first assignment! Okay, so I only only earned 50p but I didn't really have to do anything to earn it so I'm happy! :-)

With ABAi supermarket jobs last time I mentioned them I had to delete my posts. Anyhow they contact you (I presume) if they have jobs in your area.

As for the ABAi Ireland stores if you use the ABAi list from the link on the OP it lists that store so anyone can add it.

As for other new clients I know they have a "pale" retail store now. I have tried doing the link myself using the standard format but none of them work. So if this is a client anyone can add if someone could pm me the correct details that would be great.

As for the cat and fuel jobs with them not had any in my area and i have checked each day and the reserve lists

With the new RE clients posted in alerts last night can someone confirm if the craft ones are localised or nationwide as I am hoping they might be ones I see next time. Thanks in advance.

my alert email rarely works either on my pc (not on a phone). i usually log in to the alert screen to see if any alerts have appeared as i probably get one email for about 30 alerts posted. no idea why as it used to work fine.

Hey guys... I've got a question and hope you can help me... If the job asks you to reveal yourself as a MS'er - does that mean you will be not be able to pick up future jobs for that specific place? Logic tells me yes but not 100% sure if that is the case - also would that include all stores within the Country or just that one particular store?

Thanks in advance x

Hi all.
I did a MS earlier and I had to do a food order. I ordered something on the list of things I could order but did not get given the right meal so ended up with something that wasnt on the list! Will that be classed as not getting what was in the instructions? Be gutted if its not a valid visit after all

This is what you're testing them on isn't it? Whether they deliver the right stuff to you. Is there somewhere on the report where you can say that you didn't get what you ordered?

I would say that you couldn't shop as an MSer at that branch again but perhaps you could at other branches. I sometimes do an audit for a particular store branch but then sometimes MS at their other branches where they don't know me. This is for the same company and they obviously know about it so if you're worried your best checking with the MS company first. There might be something about it in their briefing notes.
