Has anybody done any work for this company? I have been offered a job with them. It is quite complex and different to anything I have done before. Just want to know if anybody has any experience of them before I spend too much time on it
Thanks

Have done one job for them so far. Have been offered more but they need their assignments completing Monday-Friday and I work full time. Thought the report was simple to complete. A combination of tick boxes and comments. They pay by paypal.

I've worked for them abroad. Good work and reasonable pay which comes through fairly quick. Don't be afraid to work for them.

Just wanted to say thanks for the recent discussions about other MS companies to work for, specifically ones that aren't on the first page of this thread. Have signed myself up to another 5 this week - fingers crossed for more work! :beer:

And all this 'supershopper' talk has made me very jealous (if it's the store i think it is). Think I have worked out which MS company it is........ will just be my sort of luck that I'll sign up for loads of jobs with them and it will turn out to be the wrong one

I had the same on Sunday. I took a pic of the closed shop. I was told by RE they approach the client, once they confirm they pay out the fee but no reimbursement.

HTH x

That's uncool. I was not told that. I picked a posh sandwich shop which someone dropped on a Saturday. I rushed over to do it, only to find out the stupid shop does not open on Saturday. The briefing clearly stated I could visit on a Saturday. However, when I called them they said I had to check the website too for opening times and it did not open on a Saturday. I was like "well why put it on the notes that it can be done on a Saturdday". Bloody morons. I did not get any fee or travel expenses. What a farce!

PS. I like REACT. I gave a coffee shop a bad report cos one of the staff swore, and I still got a 10 out of 10 for it. I did a shop shop for RE and one of the staff swore (in front of 15 year old kids and their Mom), they took off 6 points for a query which never came through! What gives?

PPS. GFK phone shops. I have picked 3. All have a different scenario on the briefing page, but the paperwork is all the same. One is a stock enquiry, but it says nothing about stock enquiry in the paperwork? Eeeek. Does anyone have a contact number for them?

The company concerned will also look at the quality of your reports and your rating before inviting you onto this sort of programme.

I had surgery on my foot on Monday and have been laid up ever since due my inability to use crutches I've had several urgent phone calls already this week to pick up assignments and it's killing me having to say no!
I'm so jealous of you all out there mystery shopping without me especially as I have another 8 weeks of crutches and limited movement :eek:
Thankfully I got myself an IPhone last week so I have plenty of apps to play with to keep me out of mischief!
Have fun hitting the shops
