That's good! If everyone was too good they might stop using mystery shoppers and we'd all be out of pocket! :rotfl:

Today has got to be National Crap Service day. Dreading the reports haven't even had an average experience in any of them they've all been dreadful

Maybe I'm more picky because I've got a cold but honestly it's been like pulling teeth :wall:

Anyone else had a rubbish one?

I probably get enough from them each month to cover a night out with the girls so worth doing as you've no travel expenses. :beer:

Just done the bulk of the application process for the edigi but can't go any further now until I get the email back from the blooming website. Grr.

Do people get much work from these?

I'm meant to be doing my first BARE 'fail the exam' job on Tuesday. I've e-mailed the stuff to them they needed but still haven't heard back from them. Should I have the assignment details by now?

I shall look forward to passing my assessment and working for them then. I don't go out ever, but if it covers the cost of my weekly bottle of vino I'd be happy. God, that makes me sound really sad doesn't it? :rotfl:

I am supposed to do a TNS supermarket tomorrow afternoon but something has come up and I can only do it in the morning. I cant see any contact number or anything to ask them if its ok. Whats the chances of getting paid anyway if I do it in the morning?

You're unlikely to get paid if you do it at the wrong time. If I were you I'd send them an email, sometimes there's someone in the office, otherwise you'll have to change the date or cancel.

I have to say I cancelled one yesterday and within about 2 minutes had an email back to say they could extend the hours if timing was the only problem so they can be flexible in some cases.

Email is: [EMAIL="contactus.mshop@tns-global.com"]contactus.mshop@tns-global.com[/EMAIL]

Does anyone know if I can use a debit/credit card at a bookies, or is it cash only? First one and I'm slightly nervous.:cool:

When you are approved, apply for as many as you want. They say its 6 but in actual fact, its as many as they want to allocate to you I think. Build up your surveys and the minimum that you can claim for is £15 I think, but this is easily reached in a month. You can buy lots of vino on E Dig:D You also have the option for additional money by buying something, and then returning it (but be careful that this is worth your while). HTH and enjoy - what else can you do to earn money in your PJs:rotfl:

Debit card should be OK. Credit card is not a good idea; if they do accept it you are likely to be hammered with extra charges by your provider who will probably treat the transaction as a cash advance.

If it's for the RE jobs then I can't see anything that specifies one or the other so I'd say it's up to you

Edited to add: Are you allowed to use a credit card for gambling? I know a few years ago you weren't, not even for the lottery but maybe that's changed now.
