I've searched this thread but nothing came up just a quick question. On Friday I had an email from a company I am already registered with but not done any work asking me to fill in an application form for possible mystery shopping holidays. Has anyone had this and have they managed to fill in the 750 word box yet? I have written lots and I feel I am waffling now and only on 200 words. I'm not really sure what else they want to know as I have written other comments elsewhere in the form. Does anyone else know where I am coming from? I don't want to give any other details.

Hi

I have been contacted by the company concerned and they told me they are fully booked until the end this year and are still getting hundreds of applications so not sure why they are still recruiting for these visits!

Anyway, I wrote about 600 words and it was rather waffly. Took me ages though so hope I end up getting a vist but not holding my breath! They are mostly visits for families with kids but there are some couples only visits from what I understand.

I think most if not all of the companies have clients in NI - I know I've seen them on Gap, RE, and ESA in the last few days. Best bet get registered and keep an eye out.

I'm in a depressingly good mood today, woke up to a nice running job in my account for a company I haven't worked for often - fab timing as I need some new running shoes and could do with a gait analysis but don't want to have to pay for it be tied in to buying shoes from there when I could get them for less online. Pity I also have an OU assignment due tomorrow that I've barely started and a list of things to get done at work a mile long.

That money is all you get. Like they say, it's an "incentive" rather than a fee + reimbursement.

It includes the food. Nice food in some of them tho.

The fee does indeed include the food just like the petrol, so watch what you buy, to make it within the amount.:T

I applied a while back (18th May) and when I saw the 750 word minimum I asked around (on here). Others had no minimum set and had written about 150 words.
I was struggling to get past 250 without waffling so queried it with Jo at the said company.
She replied it was 750 words minimum. :eek:
I only submitted 250 in the end because the rest would have been pure waffle.

Didn't get any test 'phone call and not heard anything since.
Have no kids and this was a "late" application so probably missed the boat.


God job I haven't missed the 'plane;)

Hi all,

I had sworn that I joined up to MYSTERY CUSTOMER EVALUATIONS, about 4 weeks ago, but on looking through my emails and bookmarks, I cannot find any reference to them or any contact from them? I have tried to sign up again, and as soon as I put my email address in, it tells me I have already applied....:(

Does anyone know the link to log in to the portal, or whether they go under another name in contacting you, as I may be missing something

Thanks in advance

Am I the only one sad enough to use MSing as an excuse for a weekend away? I've just emailed 3 companies to see if they'll extend dates on about- to -expire jobs so I can justify a trip to Argyle.

I see Oban jobs on esa, mce, react and tns. Are there any others? Or any on the way there from Glasgow I could be applying for?
