MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 19 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

Just checking for peace of mind that anyone else who has done a Grassroots fashion clothes shop didn't get paid for it yet?!?
I was due to be paid for 3 jobs with them, including this one, but the other 2 (shopped the day before, and the same day) have been paid, but the Clothes shop still says Pending.
I'm assuming it's just due to a hold up with that particular client, but just checking it's not just me??

Which clothes shop are you talking about? I did the (ahem) cheapish one on 03/05 and have been paid for it already.

I had 4 jobs with them - I've been paid for 3 with one more pending (it was done in the middle of the 4 in terms of dates) which is a supermarket but I've been paid for the ladies clothes shop i did... both of them (I did 2 diff ladies fashion shops... one high street and one up market)

Hi all, this is my first post. I have been mystery shopping for about 6 months now, reasonably successfully for what seem to be 'the usual' companies. I'm finding it good fun (although I maybe eat a few too many burgers!). I hope to be able to contribute to this forum with some of my experiences, but in the meantime I have a couple of questions I thought I'd see if people can help with.

I noticed someone mentioned ESA charity jobs - you have to sign up (in the scenario I was given) and ensure you get a reference number. This is then passed on so that your details are removed and nothing is taken from your account.

1. I am a bit wary of submitting my ID to Helion - Has anyone had any issues?
2. I have just signed up for ABA-i. I have tried the search method described on page 1, but that just gives me a list of locations - is there anyway of just looking at the jobs available? I say this because I cover a large area due to the nature of my 'real' job!
3. With TNS, I am on the Promocar panel. Does anyone have any experience of this? Is it worth the hassle? I have completed a transfer visit, but was not impressed by the amount of time it took overall.

Many thanks in advance for your comments!

s-a-h-

Helion are fine, I covered the text information in the photo of my passport with a piece of paper and just showed my name and photo for id purposes. Click on the link on page 1 of this thread concerning abai, not their homepage.

Umm, so... I think I may have been a little trigger happy with my job bookings, it appears that for once I've been accepted for every job I applied for. Now looking at 26 jobs on one day scattered between brighton and Basingstoke via Chichester, A27, M3 and M4. Anyone have a good route planner please? :beer:

Google maps is a good one, you can add via/avoids as well. Pretty accurate mileage too, so for when you claim the mileage you know it isnt far wrong.

Lol, I think what I'm looking for may not exist, google doesn't have enough vias

Ideally a nice program that I can enter in 26 postcodes plus time frames that I have to be at each one and then it tells me where to go and when. Wishful thinking I think. Off to dig out the big map....

The RE payment is now showing as paid (I do know it won't be here for a few days but just didn't want it to be not paid for another two weeks).

Have got a React cinema job for when I am down a bit further south doing work so that will be a nice evening out Was hoping to combine with a burger job but can't have everything.
