Unfortunately there is someone in our area who snaps them up! I personally like the collection pizzas, music shops, clothes shops, water shops and ethical shops. Anything else is not worth bothering with!

Not me Pennies. I've had nothing decent from RE for ages .

Is that with QDOS?

I've done a few with them, talk about stand out like a sore thumb with "I'm a Mysteryshopper" tattoed on your forehead :cool:

It is - my first job for them. I'm very comfy with the whole hotel on own thing having done it loads travelling for a previous employer. And actually, now I think about it, one lot I worked for I only ever charged B&B to room. I got a meal allowance in cash, and wasn't allowed to charge drinks or rooms service to my expenses, so I'm ok paying cash for all that, without feeling weird.

If anyone else wants to use stingy employers as an excuse for cash transactions, please help yourself!

Woohoo. Finally got myself a visit on RE. OK, so the pay ain't all that good, but that store does wicked clothes. Happy days.

Got an email from the company that does not like to be named with the following subject VISITS IN YOUR AREA. So I opened it and all the visits were in SCOTLAND. I live in Leeds, so how the hell is Scotland in my area? Am I missing something?

Also, be sure to check BARE out as they have some games shops on there with a big fat reimbursement and a mini fee. You have to take a kid with you mind. If they are interested in these games, then it's a winner. You get it for free (well you have to do the mystery shop report).

Anyway, I'm off to eat some eggs and drink some hot chocolate, all courtesy of my mystery shopping. I think I should put on some nice clothes I got from mystery shopping too. How about that? :j:j:j

To go totally off topic - I'm just heading out for my third meal out of the day! (Breakfast and dinner are business networking, lunch was for gap) Gap did try and talk me into a 4th meal. I explained I couldn't eat that much. You just need to nibble it" "not worth the fee without the free meal". No offer of increasing the fee even though he was pretty desperate sounding.

I am such a beached whale these days!

If the companies are on the first page of this thread and they don't ask you for any money then they're usually ok!

Hi what does everyone buy for the amount of money that Re gives for these jobs in the supermarkets?also if it is in a supermarket do you take a picture of the supermarket?it would be a bit odd taking a picture of a shelf...:)
