Did a phone shop for gap today and when I did the report it asked me to upload a receipt! but it was non purchase! I asked for a business card but was told they didn't have any so the guy wrote his name on one of their promotional books so I scanned that in cos it wouldn't let me move on.

Think this might be the second job for them I have messed up

The standard screen states 'receipt' but the job notes specify business card or catalogue.

Right, well I think I did what I could given the fact I didn't have a business card!

You'll be fine with that.

Is anybody still waiting for payment from Secret Shopping Services for January work? I know they pay slowly, but 2 months is a bit of a long while surely, and they aren't replying to my emails either .

I'm still waiting for one from October 2009. When I queried it I got told in no uncertain terms that I had been paid (I haven't) and I should have queried it sooner. She said it was not on that I took so long to query it. The email was very harsh. Shame as I got 10/10 for both visits that I have done for them.

I won't be doing anymore work for them!

This is what I have done for most, if not all of the phone shops I have done. In most cases I do not have a name written on it but just a photo of the cover and they seem fine with that.

Hi - my sister has her own camera equipment and is looking for some mystery shopping assignments - anyone recommend any companies looking for this type of shopper please?

Depends on what kind of camera equipment it is.. is it body worn? HD? or is it a bag cam?

Thanks for the replys. No wonder the jobs sit there for so long!

I did another in February (unfortunately) so I suppose I'd better not hold my breath much before May/June. I wouldn't mind, but when I asked about payment before I did the jobs she said a maximum of 7 weeks. I'm another who won't be doing anymore for them.

Hase anyone done the painting games shops? I note the prices are high but the reimbursement is also high. I'm a little concerned since if I pay out all that money and then a technicality means no payment.. any advice?

Many thanks
