What frustrates me is that when the alerts thread has a post on...it never applies to my area. Seriously, do I live in a blackspot or what? :rotfl:

Totally agree. What are these GFK test centres, and all these alerts for RE? I never see anything anymore. Boohiss!

I think I might start posting some fictional alerts too.

Weekly grocery reimbursement + £100 fee on GR
Free car + £30 petrol per week for a year on GfK
Years supply of petfood on RE
£350 spend on clothing that you can keep from posh dept store on Abai

Hi everyone. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've just signed up for my first MS job with Retail Eyes and have a question.

I'm not getting paid for it, but it states you get a £15 reimbursement. What I'm wondering is (because I have to upload a receipt) whether you will get reimbursed £15 even if the meal costs less, or whether they will just reimburse you the amount that is shown on your receipt.

Just wondering because I don't think the meal will come to £15!

Thanks

Test centres I see 4 of them on gfk.

sometimes the reason you don't see alerts is because some companies have certain panels and unless your on that panel you don't see the alert IYSWIM

But TBHO they are very quiet re msytery shopping, just a load of women gossipping :cool:


MSE is now the best IMHO.

Also check out http://mysteryshopper.freeforhosting.com

It is a forum that I have recently created and trying to get some activity on. Very similar to what goes on here just wanted to try and break things down into various categories.

Cheers - Joe

Is it normal for abai to not reimburse shoppers for purchases?

Afraid not. RE pays you whatever you spend (up to the maximum.) There aren't many who pay the full amount regardless - Gapbuster being a notable exception, in a rare blip of generosity!

As far as I know, yeah. The fee includes all expenses.
