MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XV - please, no mention of client names or fees on here

It keeps changing, yesterday I thought I finally had the new homepage but couldn't log in, then it stayed on the old one. Today I am on the old one, but when I log out it flashes the new one at me!
Do you think the lack of jobs might be due to getting their system sorted out?

I hope so - I've been seeing the same 4 jobs for a few days, and now it's down to just 1.

Can I ask a question please?

Its about RE. How long after a drinks/food assignment can you do them again? as it doesnt say. The last ones I did were in March. I havent seen them at all since. Can I shop them again? I really enjoyed doing them.

There's no difference whatsoever, both the sassie site and the mercury site are operated by the same company, TNS, from the same office by the personnel. TNS was taken over by Research International about 18 months ago which is why an awful lot has changed (all the AM's where made redundant, fees/mileage have decreased etc). They plan to move everything across to sassie eventually and have been using it for some jobs for about a year, whilst trialling other assignments on it too.

If I accept a sassie job I presume the procedures are the same as on the TNS website. Was confused with having different ID no's, the supermarket jobs on TNS pay a small fee but the coffee jobs on sassie don't pay anything. I'm suppposing that you would only do the coffee one if you happened to be in town?

Grass Roots are fab aren't they - just had to cancel a job for today and tomorrow and they were so good about it; completely understanding when I said my little boy is ill and I can't do the jobs.

Wish there were more companies like them around.

TNS appear to have modified their sassie setup so that you can add dates to the report and save them now (would have been nice if they had emailed to say though).

Hi, does anyone know what the cut off dates are for each React payrun? Just trying to do some budgeting for the month.

Usually around the 8/9th and 22nd of the month, depending on weekends/holidays. It will show as pending on finished jobs page. Pay has been going on a day late recently, so expect payments on 13th and 27th just in case.:beer:

I usually try and get my reports in a few days before to make sure they are included.

For tns coffee, has anyone found out if the start dates are the 1st june or the 14th june. Guideline brief states 14th june to july, but now the job pages are saying 1st, the acceptance email I received also said the 14th. Have emailed them twice, not heard anything yet though.
