Has anybody completed some of the very expensive bag shops for React?
Are they worth doing? Is it easy to get a refund? I would hate to pay those prices and have problems getting a refund.

I have done them but not the purchase part all though react are good for paying

Hi I'm a posting with a few simple questions for any experienced mystery shoppers on here.
I'm considering signing up myself but the FAQs don't seem to cover what I consider the important things.

1. Whats the average you get paid per job? (I realise it will vary I'm just asking for a ball park figure)
2. How often do you get assignments? (Again just a rough average)
3. Do you ever have to travel far or is it always somewhere you would travel for personal shopping?

Hopefully I'm not asking anything stupid but even between FAQs and this thread I can't seem to find clear answers regarding these issues and they are my main concerns before I actually sign up.

Thanks for reading.

Hi discussion of fees isn't allowed sometimes its no fee other times its a lot... depends on what company what assignment if your doing this PT full time etc...

2. How often do you get assignments? (Again just a rough average)
Again some are allocated weekly... some monthly some daily... some are allocated 6months in advance

3. Do you ever have to travel far or is it always somewhere you would travel for personal shopping? Well staying local will only get you so many jobs you can't re-shop the shops constantly. I travel all of scotland and today im going out of the country.

Sorry but really these questions won't be answered until you the shopper decide what you want to do etc.

Last time I flew out I had some of the most disgusting food I've ever had at an airport (and that's saying a lot-I used to work at Heathrow) from two different locations. Thank goodness they were MS's and not my own money . Made me wish I'd kept the lovely loaves of bread I'd bought airside from another MS instead of giving them to the checkin girls

1. Whats the average you get paid per job? (I realise it will vary I'm just asking for a ball park figure) It varies from £0 to over £1,000 depending on the job
2. How often do you get assignments? (Again just a rough average)It varies from none to loads
3. Do you ever have to travel far or is it always somewhere you would travel for personal shopping?Yes, and yes

As you can see it all depends on the sort of jobs you want to do, how often, how far you are prepared to travel etc etc.

And exactly, to the nearest millimetre, could you PLEASE tell me (notice the use of polite manners)how long a piece of red string is? And how does it compare to a piece of blue string?

I don't know, but I do have a ball of green string in my garden shed. Would you like me to go and measure it for you?

Thanks for your responses jen_br and TractorGirl327 you've been very helpful in providing the basic info I need to help make my decision, I realise there are no specifics with this kind of thing but I wanted a rough idea of what I may be getting myself into and I appreciate you taking the time to respond

Unfortunately however, mysterious girl felt the need to post some kind of child-like 'witticism' that would probably be more appropriate on the youtube comments section. I don't see who your post benefits except your own ego. It seems inappropriate to devalue the advice on this forum with your childish comments.
