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

Have found Abai fuel station shops. Where there is more than one that involves the same "other" fuel station, is it all right to make the same visit for the "other" fuel station ie do they check on receipt for that one?

That may or may not make sense:rotfl:

I don't think it would be, as they didn't have to do anything with your account to do that, I would assume a transaction at a bank counter would either be depositing or withdrawing.

Yes, but the briefing notes say that the only transaction you cannot do is withdraw cash. The notes also suggest that you can change money into change over the counter, however that does not necessarily have to have anything to do with your account either. They don't ask proof of your bank account when doing that either! Surely by asking for some coin bags and by receiving them, a transaction has taken place?? Or is it just me that thinks that?!

I've done it before. Went through ok and got paid ok.

Have even seen visits where it was the same competitor three times. Didnt have enough room in my tank for that one.

Thank you - I only need to get fuel from the main one so tank should be OK

Am planning my next few days of shopping now

Wow, just did my busiest day of MSing yet - 4 shops and 2 calls in one afternoon! I've submitted them all, apart from one where I am waiting for the call recording to upload.

MSing is great fun - I'm always critisising or admiring customer service and sales methods, and this lets me get paid for it, and I get free meals too! Only problem is, I am now lusting after a fancy phone and wishing I earned enough to get a posh bank account

On another note, with two of us in this house MSing, we really, really need to kearn to drive and get a car. Does anyone know of a job where a new car is reimbursed?

In that case I would have thought it would have, because if it had just said "a transaction" I wouldn't have classed changing money into change as one.

re: Laptop charger -- i got one for my video equipment it does my laptop too and allows me to switch the voltage 15.00 i can give you a name of a place to get it from

Ooh yes please, that would be great. On the subject of video equipment, what would you recommend. I've looked at the PV500 ECo but I noticed that there were some comments earlier about the camera that goes with it not working? Any recommendations welcome

Just done my first burger Gapbuster. I am such an idiot, I was so focused on getting the times right, that when I got to my table, I noticed I had no receipt. Argh, I feel bad.

Should I ask Gapbuster if I can do it again?

If you get to the table and realise, you can always go back and ask for one. Obviously, it's a bit too late if you only notice when you're back home.

There is the ECO and the EVO. The camera issue is to do with the latest model's cables, but the fix of using a different camera is fine.
