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

Thanks clippy_girl Lil_me. I am not a great fan of Apple products. I got an HTC Wildfire S yesterday, an outstanding deal. It is kind of a basic HTC model but I hope its ok!! Would have liked something more wow but I hardly use my mobile phone for calls/texts and so paying £300+ is not sensible. The Wildfire is £5 a month with the phone free for 18 months with unlimited inet.

Wow, where did you pick up that deal? I did a phone job yesterday and that was the phone they were trying to sell me, I was tempted!

mobiles.co.uk timefortea. Amazing although it is redemption...but you can email the bills (5 in total).

Free mobile, 18 months, 100mins, 100 texts, unlimited internet. £20.42 a month however 11 months free by redemption.

7 months x £20.42 = £142.94 less £50 Quidco = £92.94 or £5.16 a month.

A quick question for those for work for Mystery Customer Evaluations please.
I notice in the first post it says they allocate jobs by email. Do they email you and expect you will cover that assignment, or do they email you to let you know whats available?

I don't have a lot of time, so I like to pick and choose which jobs fit around my shifts.

Thanks

Hi, personally I have never been allocated anything by email or notified by email that there are jobs available. I always have to look at the job board to see what's around and then apply that way. Hope that helps!!

I'm doing a department store cafe visit for Abai.

Just reading the briefing notes it appears it is a set fee I receive, even if I do not spend that full amount (The minimum spend amount is only 50% of the fee)

Could anyone just confirm that for me please?

Yep thats right. The trick is to buy the cheapest hot item on the menu that they allow. Very rarely will there be much leftover, it's one of these ones that really only worth doing if you are going there or would be eating out at lunch anyway.

Thank you. I'm in town that day doing another job so it works out well for me.

Why do companies think it is alright to ignore your emails, still no pay from Catalyst and still no response from Petrol Visits/Food visits.

Sometimes wonder if the effort is worth the gain! Still don't they say no pain no gain.

Woohoo. For the first time in bloody ages, I have no mystery shops to do. Did my last 3 today. Think I will take a break unless they are eating ones.

Thanks to everyone who posts on the ALERTS thread. I've picked up heaps of stuff thanks to all of you. And thanks to the peeps who helped me with my phone shop queries. Hope you all get loads of shops to do and have a lovely week.

Someone posted a link for a website that gives you a route using various postcodes very recently. I've looked back through the pages but can't find it and the search function didn't work.

Any chance of a re-post, please? I have to go to all sorts of places I've never been next weekend.
