Hi
Not sure if people are allowed to give company names, but which companies take mystery shoppers? Im desperatly trying to look for ways to up my income until i (hopefully very soon!) get a job.

Thank you

Look at the first post of the mystery shopping thread, but don't think you'll make a fortune from it.

Try Retail Eyes & Gap as a good 'starter' company

They mean the company where your assignment is.

Gapbuster are popular ms company, you would do you assignments at a company like a bank or fast food outlet.

Hi. I honestly would not bother with Mystery Shopping. I was with STORECHECKERS, RETAIL EYES and some other one. I am not kidding, it's a waste of your time overall.

You may get a key cut for free. Your may get a £2.99 burger from a bar. You might even get a bag of food for a cat from a pet superstore.

On top of that you get £8 and maybe £1.50 in petrol. It's crap.

Anyone I speak to goes "OMG - I would love to do that"

The reality is, you are doing too much for the poor rate of pay.

Hope that helps someone.

In the pinned thread at the top of this forum the first post lists all the companies that do Msing.
I have only done a few jobs for about 4 different companies, none of them have paid well at all and only one was advantageous to me (a phone shop one as I was looking for a new phone) so tbh if you want to make extra money it isn't worth it imo. If you live or work in a big city then you could do jobs on your way to from or in your lunch hour but it doesn't really work fo me now as a lot of them I can't take my LO.

I have been doing mystery shopping since February. Most jobs don't pay much but occasionally I do make an all right amount. You do sometimes need to be able to do the work at set times, which can be difficult. But I mostly enjoy it.

I do mystery shopping and get paid £10 for each assignment which is usually at a bank or building society and normally takes less than 10 mins.
