  • Had an assignment today to look at engagement rings in a jewellers. Sods law, instead of hating them (I'm really picky about my jewellery) I found the perfect ring and it almost broke my heart to leave it in the shop, I'm seriously considering saying to hell with the holiday and the credit card payments and going back to buy it. It was even the right size! Fate?

    What's been your hardest assignment?

    Not actually done the assignment but having an MS Co. Call you up to offer you a flight to somewhere hot and lovely that you just can't take unless you leave your kids and Social Services end up picking you up from the airport when you get back!

    Hey guys,

    I had a job for PIP today that I couldn't complete, how do I let them know this so that it can be released from my account? Can't see any contact details or a release button.

    Cheers ;)


    Hi if you can reschedule it it will show you.... if you still want to keep the assignment if its a bank or hardware shop it can be done at a later date.... there is an email in the briefing notes but if you PM me what client ill pm the email address of the allocator.
  • If you don't mind me asking what companies offer you flights? I've only seen hotels available but then I'm new to this :)

    I did my first assignment for GAP last week and was extremely nervous even after reading the brief over an over again. It was for a phone shop I asked the salesman for a business card and he didnt have any but I completely forgot to get a brochure to scan in instead. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think they'll sack me for this?

    You will find that we have signed contracts and are unable to divuldge the names of companies that do flights. If you are registered with all the companies on the first post there is a good chance you are registered with them already.

    The company that can not be named is just that-- they don't like being talked about on forums and those who get regular work from them wouldn't jepordize that.

    I'm sorry, I've been sworn to secrecy on both accounts. Flights are invitation only when you've built up a good rep for a few years with a certain company.
  • No problem - I was just curious! There are still a lot of things on here that get talked about that I'm not sure of or haven't come across yet so was just beign curious and nosy. I'm really enjoying the Mystery Shopping in general and find the industry for it fascinagting. I think a lot of that come from working in hospitality for so long and for companies who use the mystery customers as points of interest for training :)

    When they queried it with me I told them that I had forgotten and have heard nothing from them since.
  • Hi, im quite new to mystery shopping, and have only done 7 assignments, across 3 different ms companys. Im having a bit of trouble with getting RE to accept the receipts I have scanned and uploaded. Each time I have done an assignment, they have asked me to resend the receipt because its unclear, I do this several times, before they eventually ask me to email it to them, which I do and then they accept it. I was just wondering if anyone knew what I was doing wrong? does anyone else have this problem? many thanks.
