MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 18 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

I've decided I really like Emma at Amber Arch. The last email she sent was really useful in a friendly non-patronising way (ie if you shop on deadline day, you only have until 8.30 next morning to submit, otherwise you have 24 hours). That's a good clarification.

Oh dear god no!

What's worse is that apparently you can make £20 a day working for RE! I reckon you'd have to spend 8 hours a day working on RE jobs to earn £20.

Does their £20 include the coffee / food / clothes you wouldn't have bought unless doing the stupid job? I'm guessing so with the amount of reimbursement only work they have.

What's more concerning is they think £20 a day is worth advertising!!! I can stick a zero on the end of that working for the good guys *sigh*

RE are going to kill this industry. Is everyone else looking at other options right now? Lol

ukmonkey kindly sent me a copy of the fabulous spreadsheet referenced in the first post of this thread. Thanks for that.

As I suspected when I requested a copy, it is designed to work with Microsoft Excel. As someone interested in moneysaving I use OpenOffice.org Calc instead.

I tried to import the spreadsheet into Calc but failed miserably. I suspect that it was bamboozled by the macros.

Has anyone had more success along these lines? Thanks in advance.

The lingerie shops, do you have to send the outfit back to them or do they pay you to keep it?

Re: the new REACT allocator and the company that can't be named. I used to have beef with them both for never allocating me anything. But my patience has paid off. I've had numerous off both recently. Sorry for sounding off like such a sooky la la in the past. LOL.

And re: RE taking on lots of new shoppers. Good luck to them! I don't think anyone actually does RE shops just on their own. For me, their jobs are simply a filler whilst I do work for other companies that pay better.

According to RE you can earn £20 a day with them!!

Well, that about right- 7 hour day=£3 an hour

Sarah the react allocator is nice... but like all allocators stay in communication with them so your fresh in their minds.
