Can't remember seeing anything about this on the first thread, but I have just done a home insurance survey for the company. They pay out 5x ESA fees for ringing or emailing insurance companies, recording the call (FOC) and filling in a short questionnaire. They also have many other insurance products to cover (pet, travel, motor etc). I just got my cheque today (only had to wait 7 days from completion to receipt!), so thought would let you all know about it. Of course, you are all free to google this, but if you would like me to refer you, please pm me with your email address. I will get a small fee for this, if/when you complete a job. The only criteria that I could find is that your actual renewal date is looming, so if your insurance runs out in December, you may only be contacted in November. You may even get to save money on your insurance!:cool:

I'm sure they're fine, but some people had a few problems with payments last year. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1496861

I like this company too, they do short surveys and I won £50 for a survey that took me a couple of minutes. Cheque arrived promptly so would recommend.

'plan o grams' thats the plan of the display right? I used to work for a big cosmetic company and often would lay out the display for the products. sometimes from a plan and sometimes without one. If thats all it means, then I might register my interest but note that I have no official proof of experience.
Thanks for your reply

I did the home insurance job for them and can vouch that they pay up quickly and it is a lot more than basic MS jobs.

Hi Everyone

What an amazing thread!

I have mystery shopped for Gfk before (2005) and was paid mileage @ 40p per mile. I have just registered again and I can't see any mention of mileage being paid.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks

First of all, I'd like to congratulate myself for doing my first multiquote (hopefuly it comes out alright, or else I'll look like a right moo!

Secondly, the only reason I posted was because I had a good experience with them. I deliberately waited until I had received my cheque before posting, and assume that this is this company's way of working. I can only comment on the experience that I received, so if you do sign up, and things don't go to plan (which I am sure wont happen) then it's only recommendation.

Those were the good old days weren't they, we used to get parking and phone calls paid as well iirc. No such perks now I'm afraid. Though I have seen the fees of one job rise this last month.
