    Completed a MS bank phone call this week.

    As part of my security I was asked the last transaction that had gone through the account.

    I told them I think it was probably a company called retail eyes. The guy on the phone said "Ooh, that's a mystery shopping company isn't it? I looked into working for them last year. Hope you aren't mystery shopping me. (laughed) " :rotfl:

    Never been accused of being a mystery shopper before, then twice in one week!

    :rotfl: Hopefully it wasn't one where you had to ask anything too :eek: or out of the ordinary or you would have been well and truely rumbled!
    One of the bank jobs I did where I had to ask whether £25,00 odd had gone into my account yet, and he said he would get the account statements up and have a look, and there had just been about 3 MS companies pay me which were the last 3 transactions! When one of them is Retail Eyes it's even worse really as the name is pretty obvious! Suddenly, this guy who had been pants before, was uber polite and helpful!

    Anyone know if there is a limit to the number of corner shops you can take with Gap ?

    Just tried doing a health shop for RE today, but it was closed. It does not open on Sundays. Hmmm. Will I get paid for attempting it or not?

    Also, with the BARE charm bracelet shop. It says nowhere on the paperwork that you can't return the item. Has anyone tried it? I have absolutely no use for a charm bracelet!

    Why, i can help you with that, send it to you closest mystery shopping friend and i will be happy to recieve an early xmas gift :rotfl:

    (alternativly get it shoved on ebay)
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    They always say if there's any limit, if it's the company I think it is which you're asking about then the only limit is 4 per day. I've just got accepted for 6 over 2 days with no problems.

    Does anyone know if alcohol counts under their "food and drink" reimbursement? I need to stock up and was hoping I could use my 6 to do it.

    Thanks for that - got six over a couple off days and then it was refusing me.

    There was debate on here recently about drink, and the consensus seemed to be that it was OK. I'm sure I bought Magners, but just checked back on my receipts and can't confirm either way.

    Gap corner shops you can spend it on anything you want in the store.

    Gap sent me a text this morning saying Hi Gillian... remember you must do the fast food jobs alone! Don't know how Gillian is but that's not me. It made me laugh this morning.

    I've had the same before. Got six, then got refused for any others. Looks like that's the limit then.
